10,000 credits and partial completion of your indenture. |
| Payment | 10,000 credits and partial completion of your indenture. |
| Requirements | Destroy the Black Rhombus, the pirates' Galaxy-class ship. |
| Opponents | The Black Rhombus (a Galaxy piloted by a fanatical pro) and three hostile pirate Talons (fanatical pros), followed by a second wave of four pirate Talons (fanatical pros), all at Nay 1; there will be two unrelated hostile pirates at Nay 3 and three friendly Gladii at Nav 2. |
- This mission is filled with enemies. Destroy the Black Rhombus quickly. If you are low on fire power, then return home after destroying it. If you feel like you want to mess with death, then take a chance and fight the other three pirates and the rest of the pirates at the other nav points. — "Deetchman"
WC:CIC Game Guide
Description
Masterson is being troubled by pirate hackers. They are operating somewhere inside Oxford, but no one knows where exactly.
Objectives
Patrol Oxford system looking for the Black Rhombus. When you find it, destroy it, then return to Oxford.
Scripted Encounters
Black Rhombus somewhere in Oxford
Notes
- The Black Rhombus is defended by up to 7 Talons. The Rhombus itself is a Galaxy class ship.
- You'll also probably face pirate forces at the other Nav points before reaching the Rhombus, so I hope you stocked up on missiles.

Comments : You don't have to kill all the other pirates, you only need to shoot down Rhombus (in the Galaxy). And the cargo? What the h... do you need that for? It's almost no money.

Mission : Masterson
Comments : "What do you need the cargo for?" Hey, a guy's gotta eat. And do you know how much my leather flight jackets go for? Plus that, it's obvious you don't party like I party...booze, broads and trips to Earth don't grow on trees. On top of that, I like collecting pilot slaves. Grab the loot when you can, and leave your kids something to talk about when you kick off.

Comments : Destory all the talons first, and terminate Black Rhombus in the galaxy finally. After finishing him, you can collect the cargo ejected from his ship by the tractor beam.
