Maikia's Mission

Nova Orion Prequest
Mission One (Prequest): Rescue Nova Orion Industries Freighter

Quest Giver: Maikia (Main Hangar)

Reward: None

Location(s): Random System

This first mission is merely a pre-quest to test your piloting abilities and show your worthiness to work for Nova Orion. This will not be in the same system for everyone! It picks one at random. You are directed to hyper to the designated system with the objective of repairing a disabled transport. Once in that system, follow a series of patrol points and eventually the freighter will appear. Dock with the vessel, and the mission will update with an escort mission. Pretty standard here, and you’ll encounter minimal opposition in the form of:
 * x1 Tier 6 Ixiyen “Unknown Mercenary Pirate”.

The transport will jump out of the system, and you can return to Nova Orion. (NOTE: Do not use the Home Port option, it will not return you to the station.)

Upon your return Maikia suggested you speak to Willard Wassleman III. Remember his location, as he will offer the necessary promotions to move through the missions, usually with a bribe of Midlithe Crystals, of course. He grants you the first title of ‘Mailroom Attendant’, and adds a collection badge to your Space Slayer tab.
