PLANETARY DETAILS:
Though legally an independent corporation, Illium Naval Engineering is owned almost entirely by the Free Worlds government, its status a piece of financial and legal trickery to avoid some of the budgetary problems associated with a multi-billion eagle project like the Eagle, Thera and Zechetinu WarShip programs. Ostensibly a 'non-governmental agency' Illium has a freer hand with financing and materials procurement, avoiding potential interference by Parliament as provinces jockey for lucrative contracts. In practice, the operation is a joint FWLM-SAFE affair with substantial Blakist involvement.

Detachments of troops and vessels guard the orbiting shipyards and component assembly plants on Ionus with a level of watchfulness matched only on Atreus and Marik, while a dedicated SAFE task force screens all personnel working on the projects (and many in supporting roles). Reporting directly to the LCCC, Brant Optin 'a retired admiral' has so far achieved every benchmark laid out for him, producing a succession of vessels that are the pride of the League's growing fleet. Much of the work is only possible thanks to the assistance of Word of Blake personnel; outside of Gibson, Ionus has the largest Blakist population in the League.

Socio-Industrial Levels:
Technological Development	High-tech world with advanced research centers and universities; best medical care available; cutting-edge microelectronics industry.
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 wide industrial base that produces many different types of products and exports most of its output.
Agricultural Dependence	World has and environment producing most foods, but relies on some imports for food not capable of being grown.

EMPLOYER SITUATION REPORT:
The proposed schedule of the FWLN Thomas Marik's maiden flight has been postponed. The TM is required to respond to an emergency in the Ionus system.

An unknown rebel group has taken control of the shipyards in the fifth Lagrange Point. They have not as yet made any demands, but have locked down the yards. They are known to have a large number of small spacecraft, many outfitted for boarding operations. The mercenary unit will assist the TM in clearing out the rebels from the Yards, as well as defending the surface of the TM from boarders.

Additionally, a major orbital habitat in the second Lagrange Point is suffering massive systems failure, cause unknown. It is unknown if this is related to the rebel situation or not. The mercenary unit will need to secure the station and assist in resolving any issues.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Secure the orbital L-2 Habitats.
2) Secure the L-5 shipyards from rebels.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Ensure no damage to any orbital equipment.
