Briefing
Our airspace around [DEFEND LOCATION WRAPPER LOCATION] has been compromised. Enemy ships are threatening the base and any of our ships in the area. Gotta put a stop to this immediately, so get your shit in order and get over there. Just get going and I’ll update you with any relevant info on where you’re needed. If you need any extra motivation, I’m adding a bonus [SCRIP AMOUNT] Council Scrip for the main contractor. - Stows
