Players’ Information:
There is a planetary-wide distress call from an adjacent system with a Population size of 4 or 5. That system is experiencing a series of unexpected solar activity that is having a strong adverse effect on the planet’s weather and ecosystem. (The affected planet should be size 4-A, atmosphere 4-9, hydrographics higher than 1 and no more than two parsecs away). Medicines, heavy equipment, worker droids and emergency services gear are needed immediately. Solar activity is making communications with the surface difficult and it is hoped that the activity will subside soon.
The IISS (Imperial Interstellar Scout Service) is hiring civilian ships for a single-mission contract to go to this planet with the load their load master chooses. The IISS will coordinate all rescue efforts planetside. All ships taking this offer need to leave within 48 hours. Fuel costs will be picked up by the IISS as well as payments for space onboard to haul cargo at double standard rates (1000 credits/ton/parsec). As the PC’s are gathering their gear, the IISS will give them priority to purchase any goods they need, while the ship’s fueling is taking place.
