Iron Raven v2.0

An OXP by Ramirez
Requires Oolite v1.82 or later

Overview

This is a mission OXP, set in Galaxy 8, in which you carry out an important investigation on behalf of GalCop High Command. Your target is the Sirius Corporation, regarded as the most one of the most ruthless commercial organisations in existence.

The mission is structured in three acts: a prologue that sets the scene, a second act that forms the bulk of the mission, and act three which brings the mission to its conclusion. The mission begins when docked at a main station in Galaxy 8. The Intel Brief included with the OXP contains more detailed instructions - you will be told when you need to read it.
