OUTDATED

Assigned in Deep Space, these missions usually require players to ferry items to galaxies inside or outside the star system or to kill certain AI (sometimes uber AI).

This is considered the 'second step' in a new player's playing life.

Harrison Solo

Introduction

Location: Anchor Point, Deep Space

  • Agent: Harrison Solo
  • Mission: Care to help a fellow pilot in need?
Care to help a fellow pilot in need?

Simon! You have to help me out! I wasn't really looking and one of those Space Jelly got me out there in Deep Space and my ship,
the famously known Aluminium Mallard, is now stranded at Anchor Point without any propulsion!!
I have to deliver this package to Pizza's Agent in Voyagers last stop.
Prove to me you can do that and I have an even more dangerous task for you to accomplish once you are experienced enough.
Meet me in Blue Refuge next.

* Credits given: 25000
* Experience given.

Summary
Bring the Suspicious Package to Pizza's Agent in Voyagers last stop.
Solo recommend that you do it fast following the Fuel Station and get the maximum speed boosts you can get from them.
If you stray too much from this patch the giants suns gravity wells will catch you and slow you doww.

Twin Pillars Run

Location: Blue Refuge, Deep Space

  • Agent: Harrison Solo
  • Mission: Twin Pillars Run
Twin Pillars Run

You never heard of the Alluminium Mallard? It's the ship that made the Twin Pillars Run in less then twelve parsecs.
But, it's currently still not working and I'm in deep trouble Simon!

Pizza will get my head if I don't do a delivery today.
A contact of mine will bring the goods to Anchor Point in 1 hour and you have to bring it to
Pizza's Agent in Voyagers last stop as soon as possible before the package decay.
You see, it's a very fragile material and will decay very soon if left in the open, ruining it. We can't let that happen.

You have to do the run as fast as you can, get yourself a fast ship and come back when you are ready.
Talk to my first mate here, Barf, for the details on how to get the package.

* Credits given: 250000
* Experience given.

Summary
To do the Twin Pillars Run get yourself a fast ship and stay on the path using the Fuel Station as much as possible.

Barf Starts Talking

Location: Blue Refuge, Deep Space

  • Agent: Barf
  • Mission: First Mate
First Mate

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Raaaaaaaaaaarrrr! Warrr Raaarrrrr Rarrar!!
(It's obvious by now that you don't understand one word of what he is barking. You need to find a translator droid somewhere.


Summary
Find a translator droid to understand what Barf is barking.
You might want to look in the Nexus, chances are one or parts of one have been found there.

Translator Droid

Location: Janitor Outpost, The Nexus

  • Agent: Janitor Wilco
  • Mission: Translator Droid?
Translator Droid?

Translator Droid you say? They are not very useful, you sure you want one?
Ok ok, I might be able to repair one if you can bring me the parts.
I'm sure I left some body parts in the scrapyard around here, check it out.
You will also need some metal, some microchips and ohh yeah, obviously,
you will need to find a not too badly damaged positronic brain from somewhere.
I suggest you try some of those scary bionic rats, the big ones like the kings and queens, they might have what you need.
Bring me that and I'll see what I can do.

* Reward: Translator Droid

Summary
Bring 20 Metals, 10 Microchips, 1 Not Too Badly Damaged Positronic Brain and 1 Droid Body Parts to Wilco
and he should be able to transform this crap into a Translator Droid.

Location: Janitor Outpost, The Nexus

  • Agent: Janitor Wilco

Note: Per a 2009 post, forum.starsonata.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=35045 Droid Body Parts are mined from Debris orbiting near Janitor Outpost by shooting them with a Surgical damage weapon. This does not seem to be true any more. If anyone finds the answer please update this wiki.

Note: Just checked and you CAN currently (2020) get droid body parts from the wreckages orbiting Janitor Outpost using a surgical weapon. And the brain comes from Rattie Moe, I didn't check king or queen rats. If body parts not dropping was an issue in the past, it seems to have been fixed.


  • Mission: Translator Droid?
Translator Droid?

Ok this should do it. Let me work on that a bit. *ting* *ting* *ting*.
Ok done, here it is, hopefully it's usefull for you for something.

Location: Blue Refuge, Deep Space

  • Agent: Barf
  • Mission: First Mate
First Mate

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Raaaaaaaaaaarrrr! Warrr Raaarrrrr Rarrar!! (bis) You let the droid talk to barf.
"Unfortunatly sir, that *langage* is not one of the 6 forms of communication I am currently fluent in,
you might want to try another translator?" You threaten do dismantle the droid on the spot if he doesn't find a solution.
"But sir! I'm certainly usefull for other things! Have you tried handling the tookie a mint?"
*Z-6Po hands Barf a mint*, the tall tookie cough a little, and clear his throat. *cough*.
"Sorry about that he said *cough*, I had something in my throat. So yes, the contact for the shipment.
Go meet Billy Dee Williams in Anchor Point as soon as possible.

Why when it comes to the beasts of outer-space, I'm ace!
Now that we're formally introduced, I think I have a task for you Simon.
Being in my field of work, I'm excited to know about any new species, so the rumors of 'space jellies' has me quite roused,
despite my collegues opinion that I'm a bit daft.
How about you bring me a specimen from this new species, it would prove to my peers that I'm not mad at all!

  • Agent: Nicolas Stapleton
  • Mission: An interesting creature.
An interesting creature.

The more I study this specimen, the more intriguing I find it to be Simon.
How can any creature this acidic survive without destroying itself?
Why this creatures very bodily fluids would decompose if run through flesh this caustic!
Hmm... I must be away with the faeries, the answer is so obvious!
This creatures very fluids must be just as hostile as its body for it to survive.
This is only a hypothesis, perhaps you could help me prove this Simon.
Do you it would be too much to ask if I requested some of this Space Jelly's Blood?

* Credits given: 75000

An interesting creature.

"Interesting, why even it's blood contains high concentrations of acid. I guess my theory was correct.
Hmm.. I wonder what would happen if I attempted to neutralize the acidity of the blood...", says Nicolas Stapleton.
Upon doing so, there is a large bang and a cloud of oddly coloured smoke drifts upward from the blood sample.
"Remarkable! I would dare say that this blood has been transformed into something you might find usable!
Here have this Simon!", he says and hands you a vial of glowing purple liquid.

  • Agent: Nicolas Stapleton
  • Mission: More Jelly's blood?!
More Jelly's blood?!

Why I can't beleive this! I just gave you a vial of that repulsive creatures blood, what could you make want some more already?!
Well, nevermind your reasons Simon, you do have more blood for me to neutralize now don't you? You don't?!

Stapleton's Acid Shooter

Location: Anchor Point, Deep Space

  • Agent: Nicolas Stapleton
  • Mission: A Remarkable Creature!
A Remarkable Creature!

"I'd wager you didn't know I also knew a thing or two about engineering", says Nicolas Stapleton.
"This space jelly's acid is very strong, if you would, watch this".
Nicolas Stapleton produces a special eyedropper and lets a few drops of the jelly's acid
fall until a metal plate sitting on his lab bench. With a sizzle and a wisp of smoke,
the acid bores a hull straight though. "Simon, if you beleive that was something,
you should have witnessed what that beast did to my instruments during the discection!
On to the point anyway. I beleive that I can create a special weapon for your ship that would make excellent use of this acid.
Now if you would be kind enough to supply me with the materials I require, I'd very much like to get to work".

He stands up, gently takes you by the arm and starts speaking of a wonderful opportunity for you.
"My friend, Lucien Slimebottle, over in Deep Space, is looking for qualified pilots.
He's a good guy, if a wee bit full of himself. If you meet him, just pretend you've heard of his research.
Things will go more smoothly that way."

  • Agent: Lucien Slimebottle
  • Mission: Maggot Master
Maggot Master

You have heard of Lucien Slimebottle's research into flyswatter technology. Now you experience his exalted presence.
"Greetings, Simon," he intones. "I'm wondering if you are familiar with my work? Yes? Good good, I will not bore you then.
Though I am famous throughout the universe, I cannot be content with what I have achieved. Therein lies the dilemma.
Further research requires more rare materials to study and it's to that end that I turn to you.
There's a rare form of the flyswatter, the Maggot Master, who inhabits Dynamic Move.
Onboard his ship he employs, I theorize, a Maggot Condenser.
This somehow enables him to create new maggots out of the very vapor of space.
Such a device could be invaluable in my hands, bringing me fame and fortune! So perhaps you can recover it for me.
The last young pilot I sent on this task returned in an escape pod but I'm very confident you will fare better.
That said, you must beware: the path to the Master of Maggots is long and treacherous, well guarded by his minions."

Personally, I think he's crazy but I still want to send him a birthday card.
He's stationed himself on a remote outpost called Calligos Station, in Edge of Reason.
It's not very safe out there; a band of pirates calling themselves The Elites has established a foothold in this galaxy.

As of late, a group of scurrilous rogues calling themselves the Jolly Rogers has been plaguing my merchant fleet.

Missing Documents

"Hi, Simon," a whiskery fellow says, "I'm an official representative for IGOR Corp and we have a slight problem.
Some sensitive documents from a recent expedition have gone missing. Now, normally I'd handle this internally,
but I have a suspicion that it may be an insider job. That's why I'm asking for your help.
It's imperative we recover these documents as quickly as possible but this task requires discretion.
I'm going to need you to talk to an agent who was on the expedition -- Alexander Lacka.
Take this calling card as proof I sent you."

You tell Konstantin Pacozlao that Ovchinnikov sent you on this investigation.
Apparently that name carries weight, as well as having his calling card in the back of your hand.
"Ovchinnikov." he muses,  "Yes. I trust that man." He leans over his drink towards your ear and whispers,
"It was the tall man I didn't trust. I never even knew his name...
he was assigned by IGOR Corp to our vessel just before we left for Lunacy.
I recognized his accent, though. Surely he came from (Random Warp 0 Galaxy). That's where you might pick up his trail.
I have a friend there, Lyubov Vabka. See if she can help you."

"Tell me about this 'tall man,'" Lyubov Vabka commands. You relate what little information Kostya told you.
It doesn't seem to register. "Do you know how many 'tall men' there are in this system that match your description?
Why, (Random Warp 0 Galaxy) is the second home of the spinal extension surgery so popular in the 30th century."
You begin to lose hope, when by chance you mention that this all started with a request by the IGOR Corp.
Suddenly, Lyubov's face darkens. "No. It couldn't be him. No. Impossible." You press her, but little detail is forthcoming.
"I think I may know the man whom you seek. However, this is not someone you wish to run into in the darkness of space."
You weedle some more and finally she caves, "If you really must know, his name is Valentin Zagon. Do you want to die? Yes?
Then you are on the right path. Well, I've heard that Valentin has retired in Lady Kelvin. Go there and scout it out.
Do NOT try to engage him directly -- without knowing more information, it's suicide.
Get a look at his spaceship, and return here. Hopefully in one piece."

You tell Lyuba about Valentin's ship. "That vessel was a prototype of the IGOR Corp many years ago
--long since abandoned due to serious safety issues," She pauses, wondering how much she's willing to share.
"I... used to work for IGOR. I know more about this vessel than I should. It is seemingly invincible against all weapon damage.
However, it has a deadly weakness: surgical lasers.
If you are to kill Valentin and recover these papers, you must use this information well.
And for heaven's sake, please bring some friends along for the battle. Even with this knowledge, he is no easy prey."
