Introduction

Well, this seems like a good place to get you started...

There seem to be powerful precious materials on this planet. There have been reports of rogue operations trafficking them to neighbouring systems to trade for weapons. People have been calling for us to put a stop to their actions and protect foreign ecosystems.

Your mission is to research the materials whilst protecting these jungles. They’re hidden deep within, so we will let you get settled in this area. Hopefully, you have all the equipment you need to get going.

Watch out for exploiters trying to grab the stuff before you get the chance.

Mothership, signing off. We await your safe return.
