Sandbar on the coast
Twenty Miles outside Jibril, Angel
Kalidasa (Xuan Wu) system
Made as ready as we'll ever be, we pick up our first mission flying under the Independent flag: we are to deliver food and supplies to Sheikh Al Tabr on Dephi. Once there we will diplomatically approach Al Tabr and try to get him to join the Independent side, allowing us favored access to a strategically important Thorium mine that he owns.
Delphi is in a bit of a proxy war. The Califate has lost its centralized authority on Delphi and rather than invest ships and personnel to fight for possession of the territory, the Alliance and the Independents have been utilizing the locals to do the fighting for them. Sheikh Ali Al Tabr had very early on declared his neutrality in the conflict and oh, by the way, he's also rigged his mine with explosives to self-destruct if anyone attacks him. Everyone's free to do business with him but the second they try to take him over the mine and everything on top of it is history.
We take off at noon on the 12th. Dephi is the next world over from Angel, about a day's flight away.
