You will be inserted onto Tsingtao concealed in the cargo of an unaffiliated merchant dropship. This dropship's crew is unaware of your presence. Once on-planet, you will break out of the dropship's cargo holds and escape the dropport. It is defended by a single lance of Battlemechs and an array of defensive turrets.

- Primary Objective: Escape the planet.
- Secondary Objective: Ensure the survival of the MI4 Operative (COM-2D Commando).
- Tertiary Objective: Hold your fire until the MI4 Operative indicates which vehicle Ny Hon Sa is traveling in.

Tensions have continued to rise on the game world of Solaris VII. Last month, justin Xiang, exiled from the Federated Suns for treason, joined a Capellan gladiator stable there. He has declared a crusade of vengeance against the Federated Suns, and so has killed several skilled Davion-sponsored Mechwarriors in brutal matches. Regardless of his status and rhetoric, we cannot allow this violence spill over into open warfare in the civilian areas of Solaris City. Work alongside local forces to contain protests, and keep the border between the Davion-controlled Black Hills district and Liao-controlled Cathay peaceful.

When we severed our contract with the Draconis Combine a decade ago, we maintained contacts in the DCMS. These contacts have passed word to us that the Combine will attempt to destroy the Kell Hounds at our post on Chara III, otherwise known as Pacifica. We expect the DCMS to commit a powerful force, but we have obligations to the populace to defend them from aggression. Our spies have given us the locations of the Combine landing zones, but we lack the numbers to enact our defensive plan. Our current status prevents us from offering appropriate monetary compensation for your assistance, but we guarantee full salvage rights on any DCMS machines you bring down.

Third Ceti Hussars Regimental Combat Team:
Over the last few years, the Alliance Games has been the most sought-after assignment in the entire AFFS. Our selection this year is testament to the skill and dedication of the men and women of the Ceti Hussars. Some of the best soldiers in the AFFS will be participating in the Alliance Games this year, and we want to make it count. We plan on soundly defeating the Lyran opposition force, and battle hardened troops with recent combat experience will walk right over the Lyran show forces. Your contract covers the upcoming Alliance Games this fall, and a continued assignment with us in garrison until the same time next year, where we hope to compete in the Alliance Games again. All salvage rights will be awarded in technology transfers from the New Avalon Institute of Science.

Brief: The Alliance Games are a mock battle conducted yearly between the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns and the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces. The exercises are conducted with simunitions and damage emulation programs to prevent actual damage or injury. It is one of the most prestigious assignments in both militaries. The AFFS has won every year to date. Just as a warning, the contracts dual classification as a cadre and planetary assault contract would theoretically allow the AFFS to activate us for planetary assault duty if the Third Ceti Hussars are assigned that task, although it also means we are being offered higher pay than a standard training cadre contract.

Estimated Total Pay: 2,500,000 C-bills






Taurus Territorial Industries runs several secondary manufacturing plants on Sterope. Among these plants is a planetary shipyard capable of constructing Union-class dropships, one of only two facilities in the Concordat. We wish to boost our security by hiring additional garrison forces for this facility. We offer a two-year contract, and will be happy to renew or renegotiate the contract at that point. You will also have use of any necessary repair facilities, as Sterope's infrastructure is substantial.

Payment: 1.872

Salvage: 30% Straight
Support: 30% Straight
Transport: 20% Auxiliary, 25% Chartered

Brief: The Taurian Concordat is a major Periphery power rimward of the Federated Suns. The region is quiet, and the most serious threat would be pirate raids on the factories and warehouses on Sterope. It is a long journey to the Concordat, so travel will be major expense, but the contract is long and low-risk, and the potential for renewal should not be overlooked.

Estimated Total Pay: 3,750,000 C-bills






Federated Suns agitators are known to be operating in the Tikonov Commonality to stir up unrest against House Liao. Tikonov's 'Mechworks are vital to the CCAF and must be protected from sabotage. You will be stationed in Tikograd, the capital city of Tikonov, and provide riot and security forces for both the Commonality's government capital and manufacturing centers. If we are pleased with your efforts, we may consider a renewal of the contract with even more favorable terms. We thank you for your consideration.

Payment: 2.016
Length: 8 months
Command: House
Overhead: Full
Salvage: 10% Straight
Support: 50% Straight
Transport: 10% Auxiliary, 20% Chartered

Brief: Tikonov is the capital of one of the five Commonalities of the Capellan Confederation, and the center for the coordination of its military. As such it is well-defended, and there is little outside threat. Rioters and sabotage are another manner, but the Confederation's stance on public responsibility means that the government will likely support you in the event of bloodshed. The possibility of contract renewal is significant, and Tikonov is nearby, so despite low transport compensation it is the cheapest contract to reach.

Estimated Total Pay: 1,500,000 C-bills






The CCAF Department of Research and Development is working closely with Marik scientists, and they believe they have uncovered a significant cache of Star League materiel at a location to be disclosed at the signing of this contract.

The pay is impressive, and the possibility, although remote, of acquiring Star League technology is equally valuable. Be aware though, that under the terms of the contract we could be sent essentially anywhere to fight anyone, so the potential risk cannot be easily judged.

You will strike at Kittery, in the Federated Suns' Capellan March, in a mock raid on the military installations there. The outcome of the raid is irrelevant, the true purpose will be to test the prototype in combat. Resistance is expected to be light. As the security of the prototype is of the utmost importance, we recommend that all 'Mechs deployed be capable of at least eighty-six KPH. Any units that fall behind will be abandoned if the situation becomes critical."

Gordon, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises
Riot Duty

"With the outbreak of the 4th Succession War, GKT Enterprises is worried about uprisings in the Rasalhague Military District, as it has always been the most disloyal region of the Draconis Combine. We have several factories on Rasalhague, and although there is no chance of a Commonwealth offensive reaching them, there is a possibility of Lyran insrgency cells attempting to spark civil unrest. We have an interest in professional security forces to protect our factories on Rasalhague."

- Although under the employ of GKT, we will have to coordinate closely with local DCMS garrions, as is Kuritan policy.
Overhead Compensation: Full
Salvage Rights: 50% Shared
- There is almost no chance of any kind of combat that could result in the acquisition of salvage in the first place.
Support Rights: 20% Battle Loss
- Rioters and terrorists are unlikely to bring down Battlemechs, even if they do attack. This concession is of little value.
Location: Rasalhague
- Rasalhague is the capital of one of the five Military Districts of the Draconis Combine, and is heavily defended and several jumps from the Lyran border. There is little chance of the war reaching it.
Transport Compensation: 40% Auxiliary, 35% Chartered

This contract is low-paying, but has no chance of any serious combat. It would be ideal to rest and refit, as well as to purchase new Battlemechs from the factories on-planet. If you choose to take it, I recommend negotiating away the salvage and battle loss terms for payment and straight support.

Draconis Combine
Covert Operations

"The Terran Corridor, the region of space that connects the Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth, is the most vulnerable part of the combined Steiner-Davion war effort. We have prepared an unorthodox plan to eliminate resistance on a critical world in the Corridor, but it is unlikely that traditional bushido warriors would be willing to carry out the plan. We have need of a mercenary unit that can do its duty quietly and swiftly. Although you have fought against the Dragon in the past, I can respect your skill and dedication, and this is why I have offered you this job."

The offered support and transport comp are very low, but the Terran corridor is easily reached from almost anywhere in the Inner Sphere, which will cut down on our costs.

This is a very high-paying contract, but its unspecified nature and that fact that it was not offered through proper Mercenary Board channels means that if things go south we will not have any safety net. If selected, I recommend you negotiate either for better command rights or battle loss compensation, as the duty may be very hazardous.

Capellan Confederation
Cadre Duty

"With the despicable FedSuns invasion, valuable military resources are being drawn off to the Davion border. Promised training cadre for my militia units has never arrived, and I am forced to search for foreign trainers. Menkalinan is far from any Davion threat, and is jointly administered with the Free Worlds League. Although the lazy Leaguers have yet to join in the war effort, at least their presence will deter any deep raids by Davion forces."

Menkalinan is not as far from the AFFS advance as Sang-shao Khalili would like to have us believe. However, the presence of League forces will likely discourage a Davion attack, as the FWLM has so far remained out of the war. Although there is little chance for glory on Menkalinan, a quiet, long-term assignment may be more beneficial in the long run.

ComStar
Garrison Duty

"The current aggression by the Federated Suns is destabilizing the Capellan border, and my superiors have expressed concern over the safety of HPG facilities in the region. Although Sarna is in little direct danger, I have been instructed to obtain the services of a small garrison force to protect HPGs in the Sarna Commonality. You will be given tactical freedom in your patrols, so long as you maintain your machines to an acceptable standard of appearance."

Payment Multiplier: 1.872
Length: 24 Months
Command Rights: House

Salvage Rights: 30% Exchange
What this means is that ComStar claims all salvaged equipment, and then will reimburse us 30% of the overall value.
Support Rights: 20% Battle Loss
Transport Compensation: 60% Auxiliary, 55% Chartered

It is little wonder Precentor Brodsky seemed so displeased when he contacted us. ComStar is essentially inviolate, due to their control over interstellar communications. Any House who threatens them could have all of their communications severed, leaving them helpless. There is really no need for our presence, except to assuage the paranoia of the Precentor's superiors. This is a safe assignment, and we can also use it to gain more favor with ComStar, who arbitrates disputes over mercenary contracts.

*Note that we are changing over to a Warchest Point system for logistics. I haven't ironed out all the details yet.

Covert Assassination

"The Wolf's Dragoons have repeatedly humiliated the Dragon with their string of underhanded victories. They have, however, made a fatal flaw. After their decimation in the opening months of the 4th Succession War, Prince Hanse Davion publicly granted them the recently-captured world of Outreach in return for their treachery. Our informants have managed to pass word, despite the Interdiction, that the Wolf's Dragoons have left Robinson and are en route to the planet, but with the confusion of the Interdiction we can reach the planet before them and set a trap, killing Jamie Wolf to repay his treachery."
