Foodrunner
(by Mike Metlay A simple crew and carry job could earn you a ship of your own! It’s only food! What could go wrong?)
A Dagger at Efate
(by John Lewis. You don’t have a choice: Something is very “wrong” with the Mercenary Cruiser dagger and regulations have been invoked requiring you to investigate and render assistance.)

Pursue and Destroy
(by Frank Chadwick.  The life of a mercenary isn’t always easy, particularly when “testimony” by the bad guys, causes your other units to be overwhelmed and killed.  How do you and your small group escape the injustice and with your lives intact?  Includes:  Special Weapons and Vehicle Specifications.)
Crystals from Dinom
(by Marc Miller. As always, sounds simple:  Just because there was this little “revolution” the location of a stash of critical zuchai crystals has become “unknown”. You only have to find the local corporation office and its records to find the location of this important stockpile.  Find it and protect the ships when they load it out.  How easy is that?)
Loggerheads
(by Ian Delaney Giant trees in giant forests need giant logging machines to clear them for cultivation. Oops!  This one as “kind of” stopped responding and seems to be headed for a major city. It is likely the city will be harvested, just like the forest, if your group can’t stop it.  Um, why does that giant “logging machine” have gun turrets on it?)
The Werewolf Disease
(by Anders Blix A week ago, a young lab technician was accidentally infected with an experimental virus.  He suddenly turned ill and in a terrible rage, he broke out of the hospital and fled to the wilderness. The group’s task is very simple: They are to find, catch and bring this poor man in so he can be helped.)
