After the success of the spiral, the empire was approached by a jericho tech startup looking to use their “shadow mine” blueprint in their arsenal. The empire was initially doubtful of “Decanus”, however after a classified discussion, the empire agreed so long as they received a large cut of the profits and priority for contracts, to which “Decanus” agreed.
A few years later, “Decanus” resurfaced in a federation court where they asked for permission to test their technology on the patented federation frigate category. To which the federation agreed under classified terms. The most recent interaction regarding “Decanus” was a conversation with the UMC, in which they asked to have their modules equipped on engineers, another classified discussion later the UMC gave “Decanus” permission to run field tests with their mercenaries
Now “Decanus” is requesting mercenaries to test their equipment, and will allow mercenaries to keep the finished technology afterwards.

Players can also participate in a new pve mission “Decanus defense” during which they must defend a facility against pirates for 10 minutes, the enemies fought would be the same as in “ariadne’s thread”, there would also be side missions such as:
-turret testing
a turret spawns at the facility, the players must let the turret kill 10 enemies
-dirty thieves
destroy a pirate frigate using stolen “Triage” technology
-filesave
the players must scavenge files from a destroyed ship
-escort
the players must defend a transport that approaches the station
the 3 earlier mentioned modules are as follows
-multipurpose minelayer (engineer module)
spawns a mine that is very similar to the shadow mines and vigilant mines. rapid use, max 3 mines at a time, mines last indefinitely.
-ammunition printer (engineer module)
a station that gives missiles to allies withing 500m of itself. the station fully replenishes the missiles of an ally, a player cannot receive missiles from ANY station if they have received them within the last 90 seconds. max 1 printer at a time, station lasts indefinitely.
-suppression drone (engineer module)
a drone with a rapid fire laser (360rpm) that has a long range (5km) and low damage (50 thermal damage per shot), enemies have their weapon damage reduced by 25% for 10 seconds upon being hit by this drone. max 1 drone at a time, drone lasts indefinitely.
