The ISS Lexington and ISS Kerberos have been placed under the temporary command of Imperium Intelligence, by order of the 1st Admiral of the Empire, Grand Admiral Maximus Von Schreck.

Operating under special orders the two ships have been sent to Tau Echo Station under the auspices of some much needed R & R. However, Imperium Command has issued special orders for all to watch carefully and be on the lookout for a renegade group of Kinderans, from the old universe. But this is not easy as these Kinderans are shape shifterswho often assume the outward appearance of their victims.

There are a few tell tale ways to identify Kinderans:

A bone chilling cold emanates from them within a 3 foot radius, and they give off the scent of decaying earth. They need an enzyme found in blood to survive, so be careful around them!

These Kinderans are wanted for the theft of computer files that delineate the Order of Battle for the Imperial Remnant in the old universe, including all their command codes and the supply points that are used.

The recovery of these files is paramount, and Imperium Intelligence has mobilized all their assets, and many others, to locate the renegades and recover the files. This mission overrides all other orders and priorities. You are authorized to do whatever is necessary to achieve your goals, including the use of "special ordnance" without first requesting authorization from Imperial Center. This is for all the marbles, people!

Tau Echo Station is considered a close second to Riza on the Pleasure Planet lists, despite the fact that it is just a mega station with huge hollow-suites. While you are authorized to use Deadly Force, you are encouraged to be VERY careful; use stealth, if possible. Trust no one.

To help prevent further contamination of your teams and ships, you have all been fitted with a special nano-tag that will help identify your own people. A person that has this tag will see others with this tag surrounded by a dim halo, but it is only visible to those who have the tag.
