PLANETARY DETAILS:
Abaoji Taizu is a planet settled by Chinese, Japanese and Korean settlers long before the dissolution of the Star League in 2465. Named after the most famous Emperor of th ancient Liao Dynasty on Terra, the people of Abaoji Taizu continued to build their cities in Asian architectural styles. With Abaoji Taizu located so far from the Inner Sphere and the Terran Corridor, the inhabitants were forced to eek out an existence on their own. The populace built a few cities along the major river valley, the greatest of which was Hong Cheng Shi, with a population of over 50,000. The citizens supplied for themselves all of the resources they needed, while trading what little extra they had to the random trade vessel that passed by once in a while. The mountain ranges surrounding the river valley allowed for the extraction of the raw materials necessary for metals.

The coming of the Capellan Confederation and the Magistracy of Canopus before the fall of the Star League allowed the citizens of Abaoji Taizu to increase their standard to living. Unfortunately, the War of Unification, and the following Succession Wars turned the Confederation's and Magistracy's attentions away from the small periphery world.

Recently, the Kingston's Armored Rangers entire 2nd Battalion was on planet, along with a company of Magistracy mechs from the 2nd Canopian, as well as the Royal Armored Lancers mercenary unit.

EMPLOYER SITUATION REPORT:
The imminent destruction of the Crimson Raiders on planet has brought relief for Abaoji Taizu, but only for a short while. It seems the Raiders have had funding from an outside source. Intelligence points that the source of the funding has a base and support on planet. Rooting them out and initiating a combat campaign to wipe them out is your new objective.

Some elements of the Crimson Raiders still exist on planet, as well as those who have not landed on planet yet. The few remnants left are most likely being protected by their suppliers. Their deaths would be most helpful.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Determine the size and identity of the Crimson Raider's suppliers, as well as why they are here.
2) Eliminate the suppliers if possible.
3) Secure the planet for the Confederation.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Eliminate any remaining resistance to Confederation control.
