Basically, the Liberators, including the LT and Slooga, got into a bad deal with some of Slooga's contacts and bounty hunters showed up. The Victory Class star destroyer Lionesse is on the way back into the system on a signal from the hunter and COMPFORCE reinforcements are on their way. A hack team that had to scrub a mission at Ganatoo Spaceport just engaged the bounty hunters on a flank in an attempt to buy the rest of the platoon breathing room so they can try to get the upper hand of that firefight.

The intent is then to pull back to the shuttle and get back to the Intruder.
