You've all seen them, missions to deply satellites, deliver cargo or passengers, or dump waste, but have you considered where they come from? Kyla Storm is one of the terminal operators who enter the actual missions into the system for freelance pilots to pickup and complete.Kyla, who has been doing this task for more than 15 years, says the missions come from many places. "There are the obvious source, the megacorporations like InfinitiCorp or Getco, but many missions come from independent sources. Waste comes from stations and colonies, and satellites might be from science experiements and research institutes. Passengers can be employees on their way to a new job or just on a vacation."
Regardless of the origin, the missions are vital to a healthy economy. Important work gets completed and freelance pilots get paid. More importantly, it provides the independent pilots a way to become known by various factions and build a reputation so that they can be called upon for higher profile, more lucrative missions. Everybody wins!
So the next time you are checking the missions terminal at your favorite station, remember Kyla Storm and the other terminal operatiors who sort, catalog, and enter those missions that help you on your way to fame and fortune.
