A ship has become stranded or damaged, and its crew must be rescued by docking with the ship. This contract may or may not come with a time limit. If it does, the engines on the damaged ship explode when the timer ends, killing the remaining crew onboard. | A ship has become stranded or damaged, and its crew must be rescued by docking with the ship.

To dock with a ship, the player must be in [[Tactical]] view and must line up their [[Docking Port|docking port]] with the docking port of the stranded ship. A ship's docking port appears as two diamond-shaped indicators that must overlap the target ship's diamond-shaped indicators. When done correctly, the docking port extends and connects to the target ship. | |||
Once the civilians are onboard, they must be delivered to a starbase or colony, where they will depart the ship via shuttle. Any civilians not reaching the shuttle safely will be deducted from the payment. | |||

Hostile ships are harassing civilian ships in a system and must be taken care of. The threat can be a small group of [[fighter]]s, a fleet of ships with fighters, or a large weapons platform. | Hostile ships are harassing civilian ships in a system and must be taken care of.
