Background

You're going home. For a visit, anyway. High command is interested in the state of Callison's defenses, for reasons left to you to speculate on.

Callison's garrison is believed to be the 11th Lyran Guards RCT. Their current state of readiness and depth of penetration of recovered technology is unknown. You are to evaluate it.

Mission Orders

We possess precise and accurate ephemerides for the Callison system, and you will be making use of them to jump to a "pirate point", the L1 point between the system primary and Callison II, the inhabited world, and make a high-speed burn to Callison II and make a combat drop onto the planet. You are to make a strike at a token objective, a deep-space radar, and engage any defenders with the goal of evaluating their strength, readiness, skill, and tech level, and escaping with minimal losses. Destroying the radar would be considered a bonus, but is not the true objective of the raid. You are then to rendezvous with your dropships at a pre-designated landing area and return to your jumpship at L1 and jump back to Dubhe.

Your objectives are:

• Combat drop onto Callison.
• Engage the defenders of the deep-space radar and evaluate their combat readiness.
• Escape with minimal losses.
• If possible, destroy the deep-space radar.
