DETAILS:

An agent for a large Battlemech Production company approached DMM

representatives for a mission of utmost urgency and secrecy. The

company, who did not wish to be named, lies within the Proserpina

Prefecture and is currently bidding on a lucrative contract to

produce 'mechs for the DCMS. However it seems that a rival firm in

Ningxia Prefecture is also bidding and will have completed its

initial run of 12 battlemechs. Which ever company that completes the

mechs first will receive the contract to build more 'mechs for the

DCMS. Not being one to fail the first company has decided to hire a

mercenary outfit to go in and see what they can do to 'slow' down

production. 3 Months have been allocated to complete the mission and

payment will be in advance. The reason for the long contract is that

no evidence must point back to the original company so the

mercenaries must make a slow journey to the target site, also due to

the lack of Intel on factory defenses the mercenaries must obtain

their own intelligence before launching the attack. There is much

risk involved so a large sum of money has been provided up front for

the mission. The new 'mechs are of no concern to the company and so

the company waives all rights to claim salvage. The factory is

located on the world of Lands End, the local DCMS unit is a green

garrison unit which is located on the other side of the planet. The

factory will be protected by some kind of local defense but it is

unknown as to what this may consist of.
