We have been told the Jincilla clan has amassed a large amount of weaponry, but we don't know where because one of their shuttles is equipped with a jamming device. There is a cargo ship at Nav Point #93{CALCRANGE}{93}{RANGE}, that is trying to smuggle supplies to the Jincilla, and he may be heading towards this base. ID this cargo ship, it's supposedly carrying lumber. When you find his destination go there and take out the jamming destroyer. We will be monitoring our scanners and if the base appears we will be straight in with back-up.

It is rumoured that the original courier of the ship was taken over by Jincilla pirates, who are fanatical about the protection of rainforests. They seem to think that if they just let the wood rot away in space, they can stop the production of it. So they capture lumber barges and abandon their cargo.
