Andrew comes to Heroni

Having mustered out on Rhylanor,  Yes Paul, Roland McGintley and Jax Tyvoid were recruited by Baron Carlo Fossi to join an expedition to the more backwater half of the Rhylanor Subsector.   Baron Fossi is on a mission to survey his family’s holdings in the subsector and search for business opportunities, now that the Fifth Frontier War has come to an end and things are settling down.  The Baron has decided to use one of his family’s Far Traders,The Countess Cassandra, for this leg of his trip.  Yes Paul signed on as ship’s engineer, Roland McGintley as the pilot on The Countess Cassandra, and  Jax Tyvoid as a bodyguard for the Baron. 

One  evening in orbit around Belizo, the baron charts a course for a jump to Heroni.  Roland is a bit puzzled, since Heroni is a dead-end, nowheresville of a planet, with no water, no gas giant and a joke of a starport.  The Baron says that he has a deal worked up with a man named Ace Nubunto to collect a package of ancient documents from the starport on Heroni which will allow him to lay legal claim to the planet, ousting the Ling Standard Products fief-hold.
