Intercept the Gullfaxi en route from Omicron Delta to Rheinland. Secure the ENTIRE contents of its cargo hold, ensure the ship is destroyed, and leave no witnesses. Interception must be undertaken outside of scanner range (20km) of any bases - or in a radiation field to ensure no distress call can be made. Once the cargo is secure, respond on this channel to arrange for retrieval. The cargo is not to be tampered with.
Payment:
2 Million Sirian Credits on delivery - claimable once
The Gullfaxi may be treated as a combat target, any factions that have valid combat, piracy, or bounty lines on BDM in ANY ZOI may attempt to claim. Failure to follow instructions may result in interesting consequences.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
The Arbeiter is a highly modular very heavy fighter platform built entirely with domestic Rheinland technology.
Publicly, it stands as the cornerstone of the Union’s drive for independence from foreign spacecraft suppliers.
Implicitly, the Arbeiter represents a bold attempt to leapfrog both Hessian and Gas Miners Guild fighter programs.
Drawing from decades of accumulated shipbuilding talent and mechanical improvisation, the Unioners have produced a space superiority platform that reflects their unrelenting pragmatism — combining performance, molecularity, and survivability under hostile conditions.
We'll be taking this one on
Sure, we don't usually tangle with the BDM. Under most conditions - under the light of day, messing with the spooks brings in trouble we can't shake.
But...
...And there's always a but...
...Whoever rigged this whack-and-rake together knew how to cover their threat axis. Plus, it's fair compensation.
We're talking a cool million, delivered on the cheap. No fractures, no breaks, no panels falling off or atmospheric leaks. It'll be a clean, sanitized run. Direct payback for that strike on our convoy back in Omega-11. Check the encoding for the logs from that fiasco.
Now, we can quibble about the 'take no prisoners' request. I'm going to dissolve that clause in the fog of war. Ain't no sense in elevating our heat by turning into the Hesse.
But, what the transmitter doesn't know, can't crawl back to hurt us.
We'll make the intercept in Cologne, with either frigates, armored transports, or other heavy movers in toe to cart away the goods. We'll tug them into the Voelkhoven, and effect unload there. If we screw up our timing, we'll get them in Hamburg, then drag them straight down the throat of the Lair. I know, I don't want to be in there any longer than you do, Arbeiters.
Yeah, and effect preparations to take prisoners. If we don't know who the contract issuer is, we're under no obligation to follow their terms. No witnesses to the scene doesn't mean 'no survivors'. They might work for the state, but most are employees, not officers.
If all goes as planned, we'll get the captive audience reprocessed on Pacifica, then shipped off up the Zurich passage - boxed up and unaware. From there, we'll hand off as necessary.
Remember, if you need a motivational jolt, take a look at those logs. Take a sniff of what they did to the Union in Omega-11. They slapped our inport-export, so we'll slap theirs. Payback - it's equality between all, It's uncommon sense, sensibly applied. Hit 'em when they hit you, between the bloody eyes.
One transport for five ain't a fair calculus, but damn me if it ain't a -start-.
Comrade workers, no matter which dizzy blighter set this one up and toasting, I'd advise gunnin' for this venture.
