Hornet's Nest

Mission:	Hornet's Nest
Location:	In orbit around Aureus III
Date:	201.09.11
The Auerus system was well on its way before the collapse. Now, the settlements are in ruins, the planets are inhabited by decivilized survivors, and space travel is a mere legend. Nonetheless, much semi-functional equipment remains to be recovered. A privately funded force is tasked with establishing a base of operations from which to begin system-wide salvage operations. Unfortunately, the system is home to a large number of pirates, looters, and other private salvage companies, who temporarily put aside their differences to repel the new threat. Of course, this was expected, and the backers provided for the salvage fleet to include many combat-effective vessels. Nonetheless, the fleet commander is primarily a salvage expert, not a strategist, and is hard put to effectively control his forces.
