Drullkus needs help guarding his freighters as they travel through space from Installation 83TA to an anomalous black hole named Nulla. Normally Wormdrive, slipspace, and warpdrive would make this long journey happen in a matter of seconds, but the supplies the freighters are carrying are sensitive to all methods of FTL travel. This will be a long journey for the convoy. The supplies have to be transported to Nulla to begin the construction of a Zero Forge.
When a Zero Forge is complete, DKI can begin mass production of very advanced metal alloys including Lumium, Manyullyn, and Void Thaumium that are required for highly destructive weapons and powerful battleships. DKI doesn't have any Battleships because the Battleships DKI uses cannot fit through the stargate at 83TA and require metals made at the Zero Forge.
The projected encounters with multiple pirate cultures in deep space would most likely result in multiple conflicts. Assist DKI in defending the precious convoy!
The immediate threat when leaving 83TA appears to be the Space Raptor stragglers. Defeat the stragglers that come too close to the convoy!
The Thaumostatic Black Hole, Nulla, is deep in Chat Territory. They have research stations around it for experimentation.
