The Travelers are sent to Amondiage in the Old Islands sub-sector to retrieve a ship.
Their mission is to take it to Zuflucht and transfer it to Imperial space "behind the claw" in Deneb or the Trojan Reach. However, the task is not simple; the ship is not on a docking platform in Amondiage - it is in fact on a completely different world and is not in a condition to fly.
Once the Travelers successfully reach the ship, they can finally begin their journey through the island sub-sectors. Again, this is no easy task.
The islands are subject to tension at the best of times, and currently the worlds in the region are on the brink of war. The Travelers risk being mistaken for spies - and not without reason, as their ship is an Imperial intelligence gathering vessel. The Travelers will have to take a detour to collect a cache of data before transit to Zuflucht, and some want to get their hands on it first.
