“We have an old enemy, called BowieKan Zanussi, who has been fighting the Empire for eons. We now hear he’s on a tour in the ConFederation, trying to convince the ConFeds to go to war against us. You must find him and destroy him! He is flying a Kestrel. We would like to kill him ourselves, but to attack him in a ConFed system would do no good to our relations. We need somebody that the ConFeds won’t link to us.”
