Tahll'a Cee'Dah mining facility, nestled deep in the thick jungles of Jeyempe, had become a goldmine! The high dollar project initiated by the Pan Galactic Corporation had finally paid off with a huge strike of Federanium...and then all contact was lost. 

The PC's are individually recruited by the UPF for this assignment due to each members unique talents. Upon reporting to the company's branch office in the city of Teyarra, New Pale, Truans Star, they are assembled and briefed on events that have transpired. -Pan Gal lost contact with Tahll'a Cee'Dah over three years ago but due to the war could not mount a recovery. -Several investigative teams were sent and learned that the system was now ripe with Streel Corporation ships. -Fearing a hostile company takeover, Pan Gal appealed to the UPF govt but was turned down, again due to the strains of war. -A rescue team was sent two months ago, and was lost with all hands. -Now, armed with the latest in arms, armor, and equipment, the PC's must go and retake the facility. The team will be inserted via high speed shuttle craft, but upon arrival they will be met with stiff resistance. Their shuttle will actually be hit and a crash landing will occur, effectively stranding them on planet. From here, the PC's must fight their way through hostile indiginous life, find the mining camp, and retake the facility. All of this marred by ongoing sabotauge efforts by an uknown assailant. End result, the PC's will have to battle through mistrust of each other, fight overwhelming odds, and finally find another way to get home.
