Description[edit]

A group of Mercenaries arrives on planet Bryceland searching for work, as the planet had been raided by pirates recently. They find it immediately: the planetary ruler, Duke Morris Davion-Harland hires them. Their objective: rescue his daughter, kidnapped by the pirate group than captured her: Silver's Slayers. The mercenaries begin a search that carries them through Draconis Combine space, and later to the Periphery. After a long search, they locate the pirates on planet Antallos, but after attacking the pirate base and being defeated and captured, find more than they expect: The princess hadn't been captured: she fled with the Pirates willingly. The pirates and mercenaries must join forces and return to Bryceland to defeat a traitor and imminent tyrant who threatens the planet.

KIDNAPPED!

Recent raids by Periphery pirates have devastated the planet Bryceland, and the world's ruler seems powerless to stop these marauders. Fearful and furious, Bryceland's citizens talk of revolution, while forces behind the scenes plot a military coup. Only one woman can keep Bryceland from succumbing to civil war: Samantha Davion-Harland, beloved daughter of Bryceland's duke. But the pirates abducted Samantha in their latest raid, taking her somewhere deep in the Periphery. The duke engages your band of mercs to rescue his daughter. The leaders of the coup will do anything to keep you from succeeding.
