Subj: Mission description

Up until now you've been lead to believe that your mission was to provide support to the Garrison on American Northern Juno. This was a ruse, to keep the real mission secret from Mendelian spies. In actuality you are being deployed to the Epsilon Eridani system, and you will assist with the construction and defense of an isolated command post.

You will remain in the system for six months before you are relieved by reinforcements. The ultimate purpose of this facility is still classified, you must not speculate on it or discuss this information with anyone. I will keep you posted.
