A small outer rim planet called Dratoano was under the control of a Pirate organization. NR diplomats sent there never returned trying to negotiate terms of planetary control. NR leaders and commanders got together to talk about the situation and figured out the best way to deal with this was to send in a small task force armed with whatever to be dropped off near the Pirates fortress and infiltrate and assassinate
the leader and gain control of the situation before larger NR forces would arrive also the task force would have to take out the AA-guns before the 2nd and 3rd task forces arrived. It was a tricky situation but peacefully negotiating planetary control has only got more NR diplomats killed.
