Welcome to Samson, Commander. Orion forces will be here any minute now, but we are ready – two battleships are patrolling at long-range, ready to attack from behind, and our vanguard–

Orion vessels entering the system! No time to explain – just ensure that the colonists are safe!

Ah, the pesky critters are here, just as expected. I see you’ve dragged in someone new into your silly little enterprise. Which one of you is it now? Sakit? Th’orek? Dalen?

Didn’t expect the Maikuz to show up here. Makes it easier for us – with the Commander on our side, we will end you and your slave trade. Finally, the people of this sector will sleep soundly.

Or, what will happen is I order my people to crack your ships open like slanikian oysters, put you on a tight leash, and send you off to the pergium mines. Yes, I quite like this idea. See you soon, Dalen.

Not just a fellow Independent, but the famed Commander! Glad to meet you. What brings you to this far system?

Have we not met before, Mara Dalen? The Commander helped you fight Maikuz, the leader of the slaver ring, and his Borg Sphere just today.

I would’ve remembered fighting for the good cause alongside you, Commander, but I fear it’s the first time we cross paths.

The Maverick Faction always needs a helping hand, and with you on our side, we can protect many people and drive away pirates or scavengers. Each good deed will be well-rewarded, of course.

With the Borg invading this sector, we’re as busy as ever, and your help will be much appreciated. See those Borg Spheres? They’ve felled some of our ships, but now we know how to hurt them…

They must be attacked by three ship types simultaneously. Explorers will examine its hull, interceptors will interrupt the attacks, and battleships will barrage it with torpedoes.

So you know! Then you will surely manage to thin them out. Make sure to update your research on them with our Maverick scientists, though – we must adapt as quickly as the Borg do.

Feel free to join the fight or take some time and rest, Commander. I will make sure to stop by your place soon – we have much to discuss. Farewell!

It has been a very unusual incident. We should stay alert and wait for Mara Dalen to show up at our Station. Perhaps by then we will learn more about this temporal anomaly.

There is a match. Maverick Faction does indeed exist, and the description aligns with what Mara Dalen told us: they aim to protect defenceless colonies from predatory forces.

The latest activity was registered in the Alma system. Perhaps, we will find them there. Laying in a course.

Commander, our scanners have detected a chroniton surge. Something is happening… Every ship in this system has simply disappeared. Mara Dalen, come in.

No response. The Mavericks are nowhere to be found in this system or any of the nearby ones. We should return to your Station and continue our search from there.

Can’t remember the last time I tried a cocktail half as delicious as the ones they serve at your place, Commander. And the 21st-century Earth aesthetics? An unusual, yet impressive choice. Lucky me!

But, I digress. I’m Mara Dalen, flying with the Maverick Faction. Galai Kaax, your bartender, told me of you and your generosity, and I thought it was an excellent reason to stop by.

Dialogue
Our purpose as a faction is not to fight the grandiose battles, but to help the colonies caught in the middle. That’s something we have in common, Commander – a desire to make this world a better place.

Galai Kaax has indeed told us about the Mavericks, and your purpose is noble. How can the Commander assist you?

Mara Dalen
Dialogue
We’re fighting a ring of Orion slavers, preying on the weakened colonies of the deep-space systems. One of the Mavericks has intercepted their plans to attack and seize the colony in Samson.

We need your help stopping them, Commander. Do what you’re known for – fighting for the right cause. And to make it worth your while, we have put up a hefty reward.

If the colony in Samson requires our help, we will not stand aside.

I’m happy to hear this, Commander. My fellows and I will be waiting for you at these coordinates. See you soon.

Maikuz is moving into your position, Commander! It’s our chance – with him down, his whole ring will fall apart. Local colonies can finally live in peace.

You think I’d come without a multi-key up my sleeve? How naive, like all Mavericks are. Don’t worry, my friends will end your pitiful existence.

Commander, a massive vessel is entering the system… A Borg Sphere, like the ones that have been appearing in the Hilltara sector. How did Maikuz manage to summon it here?
Objective ID

No time to think about this – if the Sphere approaches the colony, their fate will be worse than death.

Scanning for vulnerabilities… Commander, our ship cannot deal with this Sphere – its defences are too complicated for just one vessel.

Character
Mara Dalen

We fought one like it in Alma – it must be attacked by three ship types simultaneously. Explorers will examine its hull, interceptors will interrupt the attacks, and battleships will barrage it with torpedoes.

Our forces will cover this – join them and stop the Sphere! And I will deal with Maikuz myself.
