Pirate Lords of the Arturi Cluster Mining Guild Mission Arc

Mining Guild Mission Arc

Mining Guild Mission 1 – Protection Racket

We have encouraged a local asteroid mining company to hire us for protection. They have refused. Lets show them why it would be a good idea by damaging one of their installations. Get in and get out before the Local System Patrols can respond with reinforcements. If we can demonstrate our pilots skill vs theirs it might help convince them they need protecting.

Player Setup in Area A

Objective: Destroy at least 1 cargo module (G) + 1 per the highest Threat Level of your pilots. Then at least 1 pirate must escape off a board edge adjacent to deployment zone A (bottom edge or right edge). Do to the installation location, hyperspace jumps are not a viable means of escape in this mission.

Bonus Objective: Destroy at least one Mining Guild Fighter (Modified TIE or Z-95) and lose none of your ships.

Territory: Hostile

Enemy forces: Mining Guild TIE Fighters, Z-95 Headhunters, Turrets, Local Patrol

Rewards: 10k Credits per pilot now (20k per pilot if you met the bonus objective) and +3k Credits per pilot (4k if you met the bonus objective) after each mission going forward even if that mission is a failure.

We need to be more convincing than that. Let’s regroup and try again later.

Mining Guild Mission 2 – Rude Neighbors

We were hired for protection. Now it’s time to actually protect. The Mining Guild realized we would be a faster response than the Local Patrols. It seems someone else had the bright idea to try to get protection money from the Guild. Wipe out these fools.

Mining Guild Mission 4 – Mine Your Manners

In spite of the failure of the mercenaries to destroy our base, the Mining Guild has stopped paying for protection. We have located the new Guild Foreman and are preparing to give him an early retirement so we can replace him with someone more agreeable. Be wary as the Mandalorian Mercenaries are still under contract with the Guild.

Player setup Zone A with the Patrol Boat. Place 6 asteroids in Zone B Range > 1 apart from each other and board edge. Turbolasers (T) begin facing Zone A.

Objective: Destroy the Shield Generators. Pilots gain +1xp for destroying a Shield Generator emplacement. After the Shield Generators are destroyed, the Patrol Boat must land in a station docking bay (Bay 1 or 2). The Boarding Team must capture the Command Center module to secure the Guild Foreman. Survive until the end of Turn 12 or destroy all enemies. If the primary objective is completed the Territory changes to Neutral at the end of the battle.

Bonus: +2xp for each emplacement that is not damaged or destroyed. +$5k credits for each Fuel Tank that is not damaged or destroyed.

Enemy forces: Mining Guild Ties, QuadJumpers, Fangs Fighters, Firespray Patrol Ship

Territory: Hostile

Rewards: $15k Credits per pilot now and a recurring payment of $3k credits per pilot, plus $1k credit for the Company operations after each mission following this one.

The Station Command Module can give 1 of the Turbolaser modules a Calculate Token each turn before the Turbolasers activate.

Assaulting the Station: Players ships may perform the Protect action on the Patrol Boat. To Unload the Boarding Team, the Patrol Boat must land in one of the station’s Docking Bays after the Shield Generators have been destroyed. Place a Tracking Token on the Docking Bay tile to represent the Boarding Team.

The Patrol Boat may deploy from the Docking Bay that it landed in on any of the following rounds.

Advancing the Boarding Team: At the end of each turn, roll 3 attack dice. If the number of hits rolled is equal to or greater than the number of emplacements on that station tile, players may move the commandos to an adjacent station tile. Otherwise, they may destroy one emplacement on that tile or simply wait until the next round. Players may choose if Fuel Tanks destroyed this way explode.

The Boarding Teams attack dice can be modified depending on the upgrades purchased for the Patrol Boat.

Capturing the Guild Foreman: The Boarding Team must reach the large central station module with the Command Center. Then they must succeed in their advancement roll to enter the Command Center and capture the station. Any remaining Turbolaser emplacements are now under Pirate control. Players may choose their facing and attack targets for the rest of the mission. If the command center is destroyed no rewards are gained from completing this mission.

Enemy Target Priority: Once the station is captured and the turbolasers start shooting at the Mining Guild and mercenary ships, they will attempt to destroy the station’s defenses without damaging the rest of the station. Target priority will be any Player ships (including Patrol Boat) in firing arc followed by station turbolaser towers.

If the Pirates have control of the station at the end of turn 12, the territory is considered neutral and the enemy forces retreat and the mission ends. Note: unless you have destroyed or disabled all enemy ships by the end of turn 12, you cannot capture disabled ships.

The Pirates may continue to pursue the primary objective after turn 12 but the Imperial forces will not retreat once the station is captured. Delta squadron has Strike AI against the station if it is captured. Imperial ships have target priority of Player ships in arc, then station modules in order of Command Center, Turbolaser, Fuel Tank.
