X-Wing: Rebel Rescue / Retrieval / Reward

We played another Star Wars: X-Wing game recently using all three factions - their respective briefings are below:

Rebel Rescue
The plans for a co-ordinated Rebel Alliance assault on Lothal were being taken by courier. To bypass the Imperial blockade of Dantooine you hired Jalon Rixx, a renowned smuggler, to transport the courier to Atollon. Unknown to you at the time the Hutts had put a bounty on Rixx and his ship was attacked by Bounty Hunters en route. Rixx ran for his home base in the asteroid belt around Ord Mantell but the damage to his ship was too severe and it broke up in the belt only seconds after the escape pods were jettisoned. You must rescue your courier and safely retrieve the plans before they fall into Imperial hands...

Rebel Retrieval
ISB agents suspect the Rebel Alliance are using couriers to transport plans between cells. A suspect was identified on Dantooine and a blockade initiated; however, Jalon Rixx, a renowned smuggler, bypassed the blockade. Reports have reached you that the Hutts have put a bounty on Rixx and that his home base is in the asteroid belt around Ord Mantell. Accordingly you have sent a small force to intercept him. But as they jumped into the system they saw Rixx’s ship under attack and it breaking up in the belt only seconds after the escape pods were jettisoned. You must locate the courier and any Rebel plans before the Rebels can rescue them...

Rebel Reward
The Hutts put a bounty on Jalon Rixx, a renowned smuggler, and you managed to track his ship after he slipped past the Imperial blockade at Dantooine. You are not alone in trying to win the bounty and a botched attacked by some Bounty Hunters saw Rixx running for his home base in the asteroid belt around Ord Mantell. But the attack badly damaged his ship and it broke up in the belt only seconds after the escape pods were jettisoned. You have noticed that some Imperial ships have just jumped into the system so there must be more to be gained than just the bounty on Rixx. Clearly the first one to seize the escape pods will be in a wonderful bargaining position...

The rebels and imperials nearly got distracted by each other and allowed the scum a head start on the escape pods. But in the end the rebels secured Jalon Rixx and the scum got the courier - so a trade was agreed.  It was a tense negotiation but they avoided opening fire on each other and an exchange was agreed.
