+<br />The ship AI aboard your stationed ship has informed us that a distress
+signal has been picked up from the colony on LV-686, and that a mission is being
+prepared to investigate the disturbance.<br /><br />As such, the special
+services division has prepared a briefing on the nature of the colony, and known

+>: Kutjevo Refinery<br /><b><u>Operator</u></b
+>: Weyland-Yutani<br />
+<hr />
+<br /><b>History and Purpose</b><br />
+<hr />
+<br />Discovered in 2089, the planet Dykuma I, also known as LV-686, was
+originally marked by geological survey as a potentially terraformable desert
+planet, was later found to be abundantly rich in underground aquifers of
+exceptionally high purity, and as such an independent core colony began
+colonization efforts in the 2160s.<br /><br />Shortly after the colonization
+efforts began, a hostile takeover by the Canadian Space Affairs Ministry in 2162
+brought the colony under new ownership, soon sold to the Weyland-Yutani
+Corporation, where in 2165 it began operations as a bottling plant under the
+<i>Weyland Spring</i> brand.<br /><br />As the demand for spring water and the
+size of the colony's operations both have grown, the deposits of drinking water
+at the original site for the colony have dried up, and as such the sprawl has
+continued to expand outwards, ever in search of more desposits to tap.<br /><br />With
+an estimated 2500 colonists, the refinery has become a bustling town, and the
+number one provider of drinkable water in the Neroid Sector and surrounding
+space, as well as a significant supplier for the
+<i>Weyland Spring</i> brand.<br /><br /><b>Company Priorities</b><br />
+<hr />
+<br />The number one priority is that any operation on the site of Weyland
+Spring Bottling Center No.8 does not employ chemical weapons or otherwise risk
+contaminating the ground water supply and the aquifers below. The use of lead
+and depleted uranium bullets should be avoided.<br /><br />In addition to this,
+the colony's water treatment plant contains large stockpiles of chemicals that
+may be hazardous in unapproved amounts, and damage to the tanks storing these
+chemicals must be mitigated.<br /><br /><b>Potential Threats</b><br />
+<hr />
+<br />The Kutjevo facility contains only a token Colonial Marshals Bureau,
+staffing roughly 2-6 members, and is primarily staffed by corporate security.
+While the security garrison is relatively undersized for a colony of this size,
+division analysts believe corporate espionage is unlikely due to a variety of
+factors. After reviewing the data, the analysts believe these are the most
+likely causes for the automated distress beacon, from most to least likely:<br /><br />*
+Geological Activity; e.g. earthquakes or land-shift due to the drained aquifers
+beneath the site.<br />* Maintenance failure of the colony's communications
+equipment.<br />* Failure to send the weekly "All-Clear" signal to prevent
+automated distress being dispatched.<br />* Sabotage by the "Colonial
+Liberation Front"<br />* A solar flare from the Dykuma star causing electrical
+failures.<br />

+>: Oxley's Butte<br /><u><b>Operator</b></u
+>: Trijent Corporation (Company Subsidiary)<br /><br />
+<hr />
+<br /><b>History and Purpose</b><br />
+<hr />
+<br />The colony of Oxley's Butte, often colloquially referred to as "Trijent
+Dam" was settled after the discovery of vast reserves of Lithium-6 below the
+surface of what was at the time known as LV-670. In 2129, Geological survey
+teams landed on the planet and began to discern the ideal location to place a
+mining settlement, eventually settling on a river fork on the planet's northern
+hemisphere, roughly 4 kilometers above one of the particularly rich deposits.<br /><br />To
+power the mining operations, the Cebrini group was contracted to construct and
+operate a large hydroelectric dam, utilizing the river's high throughput, with
+three turbines working to produce an estimated 15,000Mw/H of electricity. Work
+began in 2132, as the first colonists were brought in, with the hydroelectric
+facility and electrical infrastructure being completed in late 2150,
+colonization began as workers of other specialities were shipped in to fill the
+needs of the rapidly growing colony. At present, the colony hosts a mix of
+corporate personnel from both Trijent Corp. and the Cebrini Group, as well as a
+number of third-party personnel staffing various positions.<br /><br />The
+colony on Raijin has provided lithium to buyers across the galaxy for about 20
+years now, in addition to hosting an archeological worksite due to
+<b>mundane</b> discoveries in the periphery of the mining campsites.<br /><br /><b
+	>Company Priorities</b
+><br />
+<hr />
+<br />Lithium-6 is one of the principle components of Tritium, needed to fuel
+the fusion reactors powering a galaxy worth of human expansion. As such,
+Raijin's immeasurably rich deposits of the mineral have led the Trijent
+Corporation, and by extension, the Company, to a domineering position in the
+market for fusion reactor fuel. Due to the nature of the ore reserves, damage to
+the mining site itself is of limited concern, however, the hydroelectric dam
+powering the colony is a highly valuable asset and it is paramount that it is
+returned to operation as soon as possible if damaged, and that further damage
+from intervention is minimized.<br /><br />Of secondary priority, the
+northeastern edge of the colony hosts an archeological site and attached
+research lab. The research notes from the lab should be recovered and delivered
+to the Company as soon as possible, and care should be taken not to disturb or
+destroy the dig sites, and the artifacts buried within.<br /><br /><b
+	>Potential Threats</b
+><br />
+<hr />
+<br />Due to the economic relavence of the colony, both Neroid Sector Policing
+Authority and Corporate security staffing are present in various capacities. As
+such, the majority of known threats to the colony's operation have been dealt
+with swiftly and without incident. Despite this, company analysts believe the
+most likely cause for the distress signal are as follows; From most to least
+likely.<br />* Carelessness in sending the weekly required "All Clear" signal,
+preventing the automated distress beacon.<br />* Failure in maintenance of the
+colony's communication equipment.<br />* Sabotage of equipment by the "Colonial
+Liberation Front".<br />* Viral or Bacterial outbreak.<br />* Disruption by the
+Union Of Progressive Peoples as they establish a competing colony elsewhere on
+the planet.<br />* Corporate Espionage to disrupt the Trijent Corporation as a
+leader in fusion reactor fuel.<br />
