PLANETARY DETAILS:
Perdition is a water world located on the border of the Taurian Concordat and the Federated Suns. The world is barely populated, with most life being concentrated on the several small island cities that dot the ocean world. Much of the world's economy is dependent on resource extraction from the ocean floor, the profits of which go towards importing foodstuffs and other essentials that the island communities cannot otherwise produce themselves. Recently Perdition has been siezed by the Federated Suns during Operation Matador. The planet's capital is called Oceania and lays claims to this title by virtue of the fact that it posseses the largest spaceport on the planet.

Socio-Industrial Levels:
Technological Development	World of moderate advancement; average educational systems and medical care; microelectronics can not be manufactured.
Industrialization Level	Heavily industrialized world capable of manufacturing any and all complex output.
Raw Material Dependence	World/system produces some of the raw materials needed and imports the rest.
Industrial Output	World has a small industrial base that may produce a limited number of products for export.
Agricultural Dependence	World is an agriculturally poor world; cannot sustain its population and must import nearly all of its food.

EMPLOYER SITUATION REPORT:
Perdition is home to Pinard Protectorates, one of the Concordat's leading arms manufacturers, who's primary factories are based on a cluster of four islands. The factory's fall to the Davion's has been unfortunate but the current Lord Protector has been unable to shift from his defensive postion to remedy the problem at present. Due to this Pinard Protectorates has entered into negotiations with House Liao to facilitate their personnel's extraction into Concordat space in exchange for access to their designs and favorable purchase rates in the future.

To this end we shall require reliable intelligence on the forces that would be arrayed against us during the rescue operation. The mercenaries, who shall not reveal their affiliations, are to land on a drop site prepared by Concrodat loyalists and conduct raids against the four aforementioned islands to ascertain the magnitude of their defenses. Given the character of this world these are conjectured to be primarily naval in character thus an aircraft carrier or cruiser in addition to conventional forces would not be out of the question.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Ascertain the magnitude of the AFFS stationed at the four Pinard Protectorates factories.
2) Do not attack the factories or their adjacent habitats.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Keep your identity a secret.
