Greater Endeavour, +4 Profit Factor (1200 Achievement Points needed to complete)The newly-named world of
Captain's Choice is rich in early Imperial archaeotech and Orkish xenotech. Though the treasures and crude weapons are easily gathered, they must be sorted from the useless or broken junk - not to mention wrested from the xenos horde and strange, ancient technological guardians - before they can be smuggled past overzealous Imperial authorities and traded away.
The bullet points represent suggestions, not a ticklist of required activities per se.

Encounters completed
Each encounter that works toward one or another Objective awards a number of Achievement Points based on its difficulty. In my opinion, these are the relevant ones so far:
- Sucessfully completed Warp transit to the system (Objective 1, Ordinary difficulty, +50 AP)
- Destroyed the Ork fleet in the system (Objective 1, Very Hard difficulty, +300 AP)
- Cleansed the destroyed Ork vessels so they can be looted (Objective 2, Challenging difficulty, +100 AP)
- Sent an Astropathic message to the recently-captured Frigate to begin transit to the system (Objective 3, Easy difficulty, +10 AP)
As such, by this reckoning we have the following progress:
- Objective 1: 350AP
- Objective 2: 100AP
- Objective 3: 10AP
Achievement Points carry over from one objective to another, and excess points at the end of the Endeavour can become extra Profit Factor.
