Urgent Alert!
A Vanguard Caterpillar carrying valuable cargo has just been seized by Pirate forces. After a battle that left the ship grounded, the vessel was boarded, and all hands were lost, but not before the crew managed to disable several systems.
Command estimates we have 30 minutes to reclaim the vessel before the pirates are able to get it operating again, at which point they will make for one of their bases elsewhere on the planet. Get to the target, board the vessel, and take out the trash!
