The colonists agree to the trade. However, as they are setting up a new settlement, it's unlikely it will be productive soon. The goods they want you to store on the ship are an almagation of mining supplies. Drillbits, refinery parts and mining explosives, as well as 2 small drilling vehicles. All are packaged in closed metal crates, which should protect them during the journey.
Elsewhere on the ship preparations for the voyage are made. You tell the former pirates that this will be the last time they can get of the ship in an inhabited area, and you're rejoiced to know that they decide to stay. Containers are made and filled with water, before being secured in the hold. Back up hull plates, and other spare parts are bought, as well as new spacesuits. More food is bought, in order to be able to survive the way back.
However, it's not likely that you'll make it out unscatched. Preparations for a possible conflict are made. Ammuntion is bought or made and the weapons are loaded. The fighters are given a last check up and some minor repairs, and are then prepped for launch.
When all of that is done, you undock from the spacestation, and meet up with the ship you'll be escorting. It's an old cargoliner, which appears to have been converted for passenger flight. It's unlikely that it's compliant with any safety standards, but at least it does appear to have some escape pods/ cargo shuttles hanging from the side. Or that's what you assume the irregular shapes to be.
The flight plan is not the most direct plan, but rather a hiphop from one colonized star to the other. The first of these is Galven, where the ship will drop of a cargo and take in the last supplies, which is expected to take at least a day or 3. Travel to Galven takes the entire day, but is uneventless. No pirate ships no distress signals are seen or heard about.
The supply ship that normally provides food and other supplies to a number of colonies in the outer rim has never arrived. In order to prevent an impeding food shortage, the Jaltan colonies have decided to travel to the inner systems (or as close as you can get within a reasonable timeframe) in order to oversee the deliverance of supplies themselves. They know need someone to take the supplies back to their colonies.
The Oddysea coorporation is willing to give a large bounty to whomever is willing to look for their lost Jumpship Surveyor, which is apparently lost somewhere beyond the known systems. The last message dates back to 2 weeks ago, and seems to indicate a problem with their primary jump drive. (Message delivered by partly fragmented Jump drone*)
Many traditionall shipping compagnies have refused to do cargo runs towards planets near the Quarantined zone, fearing that another increase of the Quarantine might lock them in. As such, the planets near the zone are undersupplied, and many people are trying to leave.
There's still the investigation of the station near the Galven system.
A colony ship heading for the outer rim is trying to buy some cheap protection. They haven't got much, and their ship is completely undefended, and largely unarmored.
An archeology site near the Galven system has gone silent. Their main benefactor would like you to check up on them, to see if everything's alright.

-Inner scrapyard: [Illegal to be here]
-Outer scrapyard: A more dangerous place, since ships are actively dumped here and the automated droid patrols make harvesting harder [Illegal to be here]
-Scrapyard borders: Sometimes scrap floats outside of the scrapyard, allowing everyone nearby free pickings.
-Galven III orbital habitation station: The majority of this sector resides here, or on the planet below. Due to the risk of an epidemic and a paranoid governement, planet acces is strongly limited, hence the creation of the orbital hub.
-Galven III Trade hub: This station includes a repair station, and has some governement officials. You probably could get your ship registered here.

A large Alliance Cruiser, dating back to the war. Modified and refitted by the crew. The ship's painted in light blue, with several spots and stripes added to aid in visual deception. There are several fake spots on the wings, and stripes to make the ship appear longer. The Engines are painted in a blue/white combination, matching the color of the engine exhaust(in space, in the air it's quite obvious if the engines are on or not). The top bridge is flanked by 2 stars, painted in orange and black. On the sides, the name of the ship is painted in big friendly letters.

If you want an action executed by the crew, just type and bold it. If you want it to be done by your character, please explicitedly state so, and use bold +Italics.
Character actions might be ignored during conflicts or for secret GM reasons.
Anyway, going to list combat modifiers just because I can. These are not used in the previous encounter, because the system wasn't ready. These can be subject to additional modifiers from player actions.
For targetting:
Cruiser class weaponry: - 4
No targetting computer: -1
Laser weaponry: +2
Plasma weaponry: +4
MQ targetting sensor: +1 (No sensor= -2)
Evasive manoevres: +2 (Requires thrusters)
Cruiser: -2
Frigate: -1
Corvette:0
Damage:
Cruiser class weaponry: + 4
Depends on rail gun ammo: +X
Cruiser class medium armor: +6
armor damage: -2
On fighter energy production. All 3 of your fighters run of a single hydrogen power cell, which can provide a lot of power(0.1) for it's size, but needs to be recharged every so often. They also have a standard 1 power battery for lifesupport and such. Engines require marginal power.
