Detailed Walkthrough[]
Upon landing and approaching him. Lopez will threaten you; make him see reason and he will ask why you want to help. Answer him any way you like, and he'll ask you to repair the satellites which the families use to communicate with each other, starting with his satellite. Spacers will be patrolling around the satellites; the Wens won't be responding and Lemaire will ask that you meet on her ship. In the ship things get tense as Alban hasn't been the friendliest neighbor so far. He proposes a mutual defense pact and asks that you convince the Bandas and the Lemaires to join. Chada will agree without effort, but Jaquelyn will require a persuasion check or 10,000 credits. Whether she joins or not, your next stop is killing more spacers in the system. There are two groups, and you should accept Alban's help to deal with them.
Once you have rid the space of those spacers, you are to return to the Lopez farm and speak to Alban; he has found the spacer base; which means ships and men to destroy. Jump to the base and get ready for a tussle. When all ships are done, board the station. You'll have to clear the two floors of spacers then take the elevator for two more floors of enemies. When done return to the lift and, on the way, you'll see Alban, Chanda and Jaquelyn. Speak to Alban for your payment.
