While the station is being built Commander Borman will give an update on the situation in Albion and tell about a potential refugee crisis wanting to potentially evacuate them to DeVries. To help build relationships with the people of DeVries a joint mining venture is suggested and Nakano agrees. Ren and Yisha express concern that Borman may be trying to hurry an alliance.
Joint Operation (Medium)
- ???
Fly to: Lava Flow
Patrol: Lava Flow
Fly to: Canteran Freighters
Escort: RoC Mercancias (Bulk)
Destroy: Plasma/MA Turret
Defend: Canteran Freighters - Talk to: Pedro Nakano
- Fly to: Jump Gate
There will be some heavy fighting ahead so it is recommended to get the Taranis that was boarded earlier (make sure it is fuelled up) to join the squad of the Albion Skunk. When the Albion Skunk reaches Furnace Chamber, the mining ship jumps in. After some dialog and a mention of the war, the <player> joins the scout party to look ahead. When in Fiendish Moloch a cinematic will play and there will be 7 REI light craft ahead to kill which should be trivial with the number of NPC allies. The convoy will next progress to Lava Flow where 12 REI light craft will be waiting. After killing the ships there will be more dialog and ? more REI light craft will spawn. if the <player> owned Taranis has arrived it will be a slaughter. After a while Nakano will contact the Albion Skunk about unknown ships heading towards the mining convoy. At this point the HoA mining ship will jump out and 3 PMC light craft will spawn and try to attack the Mercancias (Bulk) ships the <player> has to escort. A PMC Light Sul jumps in and Yisha says that the <player> has to distract it. This ship is unable to be boarded and will try to jump away if it takes some damage (so kill the Jump Tunnel Device first). Managing to kill the Light Sul (easy even without the Taranis) will get "Woah! Can't believe we pulled that off!" from Yisha and a cinematic of the ship blowing up.

Place a trade agent on the station and then head back to Glaring Truth where the first module of the Intergrative URV Forge should be finished and waiting for a Manager. Assign the two bulk mining capable ships as subordinates of the Intergrative URV Forge Manager.
Head back to RoC Solar Energetics and talk to Nakano. He will inquire about the survivors before offering HoA asylum in exchange for helping defend DeVries. A cinematic sequence will play explaining that CoT is now at war with PMC. Return to the ship for some nostalgic dialog.
Joint Operation (Medium)
- Fly to: HOA Arawn
Head back towards the Albion Jump Gate. the <player> will now find there are several PMC Taranis ships patrolling the zone by the gate so be careful. On route to Borman consider picking up a spare capital ship crew.
