This mission will require deployment in a rather limited time frame. For full success, it must be completed in exactly five days. The planet Vedder in the Kennewes system has several moons, and has served as a supply center for the Red faction for several weeks since the beginning of the assault on the Kennewessan central world.
The mission will require a sizable force, with both a heavy naval force and enough ground units to both retrieve several VIPs.
Location
Kennewes System, Vedder, 3 AU from star
Targets
For the next five Standard Nepleslian Days, a Red convoy will be present within the Vedder system. Our latest intelligence on its size indicates several Capital ships, with a sizable escort. The military ships are guarding a fleet of transport vessels packed with supplies and fresh soldiers. There are anywhere between 25 and 30 starships present in the system. We believe that once they finish refueling and stocking up on Vedder, they will then attempt to approach Kennewes itself. The supplies they are carrying could lead to a number of complications for our units stationed there, and could provide a blow to the stability we have begun to establish there. Engage and destroy all vessels. They will be in orbit around the planet Vedder itself.
Once the fleet has been defeated, move on to the ground facilities on the planet itself and its second moon, Ameliabus. The facilities on the planet itself comprise of a sprawling compound located in an easily accessible prairie (45 longitude and 30 latitude are its coordinates). We have reason to many of the structures are primarily subterrainean. It will be heavily defended by anti-air weaponry, and a number of soldiers. Our sources confirm at least three battalions of combat-ready soldiers, and several hundred Power Armors. This compound must be destroyed.
The moon, Ameliabus, however, will require some tact. It is a considerably smaller facility, with a sizable prison complex making up the center of the compound there. There are two Intelligence Pacification Group FIOs located within this facility. Their pictures and what has been declassified of their personnel files have been attached. These agents must be rescued from the facility and brought safely to our fleet above Kennewes within one hour of the missions completion. Failure to bring back these personnel will result in a 25% dock in overall pay for the mission. Once the Nepleslian operatives have been extracted, destroy the base. At this time, we are unfortunately unable to provide a figure as to the forces staged here, but they are known to be in excess of seven hundred Power Armors with pilots. If better intelligence is unearthed, it will be given to the OSC immediately.
Payment
Should the operation be completed satisfactorily, with all enemy vessels destroyed, and all ground installations appropriately disabled, the IPG will deposit 5 billion DA into an account of the OSC's choosing. This figure may be negotiated upon.
