The whole "search for the first survey expedition gets very little play in the volturnus modules, except at the end of part 1&2 its part of the hook to propel you to the next but only in a thin manner. What if a rich executive from Streel wants some hired guns to go look fir his daughter who was on the first mission? The Serrena Dawn is a tramp yatch or priveteer and the pirates mistake it for competition and shoot it up/down. There overriding mission is to locate the girl who doesn't really want Daddy's stoodges to rescue her and she plans to help defend the planet and offers to go back with them if they too help defend the planet.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Actually a few ways to take the serena dawn done as a yatch- own by streel or owned by the Dad. But if its not a freighter hired to transport the party then it makes more sense for the pirates to shoot it up. Also in pursuit of the girl the PCs have some com gear that homes in on her chronocom signal when within the com's 3 km range. The com becomes an early clue that points the PC's toward the kurabunga who tell the PCs she was captured by the sky devils and point them at the first pirate outpost where they discover that all prisoners are held at the pirate town to work the mines.
