Codex

1. Initial: A communications manager at Damaris Starport hired me to investigate a series of attacks made by Okkar against colonial transports.
2. A group of outlaws is using modified Okkar vessels to attack colonial transports. This puts a lot of strain on the already fragile relationship between the Okkar and Colonials. I better take care of this before things get any worse.
3. A former settler, who became radicalized after his home was raided by Okkar, is planning a staged Okkar attack on Ayres Relay Station. I must stop them.
4. I defeated the Mockkar terrorists and am heading back to Damaris Starport to collect my reward.
5. Completed: A group of former settlers was using modified Okkar ships to stage Okkar attacks against Colonial stations. I managed to prevent a major bombing of Ayres Relay Station and took out the perpetrators.

Farewell Note

Harris -

If you read this, you made it through my little welcoming committee. Take note that every one of those zombie drones came from my heart.

Modifying old Okkar wrecks for a profit was fun for a while, but frankly, it was just another selfish exercise to distract us from the real issue at hand. And since you are too much of a coward to see this through, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

We had worked so hard to build Cephas Downs. Gharin, Carrie, Immanuel... Remember those names? They used to be our friends, our family, now they’ve all left. There were no Okkar-Colonial treaties when we came here, no “demilitarized zone”, no cap on settlements... If there had been a court hearing or anything of the sort, we would have had a solid argument for having made this place our home. And yet those blasted lizards didn’t think twice before they tore it all down.

I made some good creds selling our last two Okkar drones to some Ravager pilot at the Gauntlet. Used the money to hire some pilots with guts and a bunch of explosives. When Ayres Relay Station goes down, everyone will think the Okkar are behind it and maybe, finally, all those treaties will be ripped apart.

I don’t care if we never see each other again. You never cared to fight for your place in this universe, so take the scraps that fall to you and be assured that it will be all you ever deserve.
