The bosses upstairs decided you needed a break from the intense fighting lately and sent you to Acamar. The local mines are important—so they say—and they’re paying you, so you really have no complaints. It’s just hard to create diversions, especially in the frozen tundra.

All that changed with an alert about pirates inbound on a raid, projecting a course right near the Contard facility where you happen to be sitting. Rather than wait for them to approach, you’ve decided to ambush the pirates and turn them back before they hit the facility. The question is, do you hit them before they land or after they disembark?

Acamar [Acamar Times] - In a fierce mech battle yesterday, a raiding party from a pirate group identified as the Lafayette Legion were repulsed in their attempt to loot the Contard Mining Property. A small group of mercenaries named the Flaming Devil Monkeys defeated the pirate band in a quick, but deadly battle on the frozen tundra.

After losing several mechs to concentrated fire, the remaining pirates surrendered to the Monkeys rather than face annhiliation. The mercenaries have handed over these bandits to planetary authorities, who are now determining what charges will be faced. When asked for comment, Taharqa Bane, the commander of the Flaming Devil Monkeys said “We leave these scum with you. Do with them as you will.”

No damage has been reported at the mining property itself. Contard officials could not be contacted for comment.

A pirate group called the Lafayette Legion are coming in hard and fast. The Monkeys set up a defensive position at a high point along their route to the mining facility and prepared to defend it fiercely.

After-Action Report

The fighting was fast and furious, but in the end the Monkey’s superior battlefield position won out and the pirate mechs were blown to pieces as they tried to assault the heights. A few of the surviving pirates fled back to their ships and boosted out of system, licking their wounds.
