If the Terran Commander starting scenario it might be advisable to get the Argon Neutral neutral just to avoid all the RR Minotaurs from making life difficult.   Fastest way to get Argon neutral is to kill the Xenon in Getsu Fune by the North Gate.   Until the player is -3 Argon Race Rank  there will be problems with RR ships jumping in to spoil the party so kill whatever Xenon ships possible and try later when the RR ships have left (always have spare jump fuel brought in the Boron sectors).   Since Elena's Fortune has a military base, a lot of military patrols will come from it heading to other sectors including the mission Pirate Base right in the middle of the trade lanes of Brennan's Triumph!   This means having a Docking Computer will and Boost Extension will be very useful to avoid getting killed by the constant heavy missile barrages the station is constantly under (if it was not invincible it would have died numerous times before docking).   On entering Brennan's Triumph the player will see the blue plot mission icon over the Pirate Base.   Comm the station and the player will be asked to dock after some dialog.

It is advisable to either use a TM/M7C/TL/M2 to carry the ship to Terran space or to give it a Jump Drive (can be brought nearby if not hostile to the Argon).   The X-perimental Shuttle is like an Aamon Prototype in many ways so is no loss when it is handed over to the Saturn Research Station.   If the ship is destroyed Admiral Chianna Giorno admonishes the player but the plot continues.   After more dialog the player is tasked with contacting the Terran agent in Great Trench.

Once aboard the M3 the player is tasked with meeting up with Mahi Ma's escort in LooManckStrat's Legacy.   Mahi Ma is in an Angel (TP) and is guarded by 2-3 Barracudas (M3) and 2-3 Skates (M3+).   Comm the Skate with the plot mission icon and join the escort.   If starting the mission was timed right there should be no or minimal hostile ships making it a task of just following Mahi Ma within 15km.   Along the route to MooKye's Revenge there is some dialog (the Boron even offer to give the player some cake when they arrive at their final destination just to make the player feel guilty about the upcoming betrayal) however fall back near the gate to MooKye's Revenge as the Boron will turn hostile as soon as the sector is entered and going through the gate too close behind the TP will result in the escort fighters appearing behind the player ship giving them a clean shot for heavy shield damage.   Failing this part of the mission gets another berating from Admiral Chianna Giorno but has no impact on progression.

In MooKye's Revenge the player will have the Boron set to enemy and the escort ships will attack the player ship.   Lt. Heywood comes to help the player in an invincible Aamon Prototype however 5-10 more Boron M3+-M5 ships spawn 5km away from the player ship.   To progress all escort ships need to be killed which is an easy task using a combination of PBGs (as fighting starts right near the gate most hostile ships already start in range and are clustered) and Thunderbolt Missiles (1-2 hit kill any M3 or lower ships).   Once all escort ships are dead Ensign Val Jorwan uses a Transporter Device to get aboard the TP and gain control of it.   The TP then heads to an extraction point in Desecrated Skies.   Again if timed correctly there should be no Argon or Boron military ships to offer resistance.   The TP is invincible so the player does not have to worry about it being killed.   In Desecrated Skies the TP will head towards a Kyoto parked in the northeast of the sector which will jump out as soon as the TP is docked.   The player is informed that Ensign Val Jorwan has received a promotion and is tasked with helping the player retrieve the Multifunctional Ship Equipment and the Boron have declared war on the Terrans (wonder why...).   If Boron Race Rank was high enough at the start of the mission the Boron will still be friendly to the player despite having declared war.   It is advisable to do missions to regain Boron Race Rank.   Boron Megalodons and Threshers start appearing in war sectors more frequently but do not seem to participate in the fighting.
