The Taryn Cross missions consist of patrolling unexplored systems. However these systems aren't totally unexplored since various enemies already know about them. There are also a large number of asteroids in the area. Other than that, these are simply patrol missions. Remember, you're meant to reach within 1000 klicks of each Nav point.

Objectives	Travel to Delta system and patrol 4 Nav points then return to Rygannon.
Number of jumps to destination	2 (Delta then back to Rygannon)
Payment	10,000
Cargo	Artifact (1)
Scripted Encounters	Pirates at least once in Delta

Notes:

• The reason Cross has been losing every ship she sends to Delta is that the place is swarming with pirates. Take them out and report back to Cross.

Inside Delta there is a jump point to a new system designated Beta. Again you need to travel there, and patrol the area. Cross asks you to look out for a pilot named Captain Garrovick she sent there before who never returned.

Objectives	Travel to Beta system and patrol 4 Nav points then return to Rygannon.
Number of jumps to destination	4 (Delta, Beta, back to Delta, back to Rygannon)
Payment	10,000
Cargo	Artifact (1)
Scripted Encounters	Captain Garrovick at Beta Nav 3

Notes:

• Garrovick is flying a Centurion at Nav 3 and has turned insane. He attacks you when you try to talk to him, so take him out.

Inside Delta there is a jump point to a new system designated Beta. Again you need to travel there, and patrol the area. Cross asks you to look out for a pilot named Captain Garrovick she sent there before who never returned.

Objectives	Travel to Gamma system and patrol 4 Nav points then return to Rygannon.
Number of jumps to destination	6 (Delta, Beta, Gamma, back to Beta, back to Delta, back to Rygannon)
Payment	10,000
Cargo	Artifact (1)
Scripted Encounters	Kilrathi in Gamma

Notes:

• At Nav 2, you'll find an initial force of 4 Dralthi, followed by 3 Gothri, and then another 3 Dralthi. This is on top of random pirate and Kilrathi forces at other Nav points.

Inside Delta there is a jump point to a new system designated Beta. Again you need to travel there, and patrol the area. Cross asks you to look out for a pilot named Captain Garrovick she sent there before who never returned.

Objectives	Travel to Delta Prime system and land on derelict base then return to Rygannon.
Number of jumps to destination	4 (Delta, Beta, Gamma, Delta Prime)
Payment	10,000
Cargo	Artifact (1)
Scripted Encounters	None

Notes:

• Once you reach Delta Prime, you'll find a derelict base. Land there, and you'll find a wrecked fighter. Upon examining it closely, you'll find that it has a weapon attached which you can take and attach to your own ship. Your very own Steltek gun! Your ship will be refueled, and you can start the run back to Rygannon.
• On the way, a big green egg will attack you. Since you can't destroy it, your only hope is to run and dodge its fire.
• And so your Exploratory Services days are over. But what now? You don't know what to do next, and to make matters worse, you have the big green egg after you. Find a mining base other than Rygannon and talk to Sandra Goodin.

Comments : You may want to sell one of your forward guns before starting this mission to make room for the Steltek gun. Else, you could lose a gun without compensation. Also, the mining base at Tingerhoff is a convinient place to land to find Captain Goodin.

Mission : Rygannon (last)
Comments : If you have a Centurion, make sure you put the gun on one of the inner mounts. There's nothing more irritating than the final showdown with the egg and having to hit it with the far left or far right weapon

Comments : Wedge: Mining base at Tingerhoff? THERE IS NO MINING BASE THERE! The closest one is Macabee in Nexus. BTW, I think I remember I have written this before. Is someone deleting my posts here? That's a shame, I'm just correcting all the wrong things in Wedge's posts (that's a lot to correct, I might add).
