---

Background

With the war against Gallia over, the Liberty Navy has been constantly pulling out it's assets from Bretonian space back to Liberty. One of the many convoy of ships is a medical convoy heading towards planet Manhattan, the transport ships packed full with the injured heading home. Recently the Hellfire Legion was able to intercept and later decrypt a transmission that made the convoy a tempting target. According to the intelligence reports, several high ranking officers inhabit one of the transports. If the legion can capture them, they could use their knowledge to launch additional attacks on the Navy and hit them where it hurts.
