The Mission of the Beinirham Colony Expeditionary Force is to scout
out the planet Beinirham, and to secure a new mining camp, which, for
reasons I'll get to later, has become of interest to the Imperium.
Many of it's members volunteered because they were tired of Catachan's
economy, with men being the only major export. (Although this is the
very thing they had to go through to get away from it, a little
ironic.) They jumped at the chance to take advantage of the rare
economical opportunity Beinirham offers, and that is what I believe
will be of interest the Praetorian Trading Company.
Beinirham, as we were briefed is supposedly a close neighbor to Bork,
a planet heavily populated by Orks, way out on the fringe of the
Ultima Segmentum, near the Ghost Stars. But due to the heavy Tyranid
activity, as well as the noted presence of Tau and occasional drop ins
of Chaos and elder forces (All RPed so far), this is considered a
clerical error, and Beinirham is more likely the neighbor of Alsanta.

The Imperium's mild interest in the planet was sparked by a report
from some civilian prospectors, possibly Rouge Traders have found what
they claimed to be uranium.
If the technology for the fusion cores which are used in Aquila
Lander, among other things, haven't been lost, and considering how it
was used on Macaragge, It would be a valuable resource.
However, it is in a hotbed of enemy activity, inhabited by Orks, in
the path of a couple hive fleets, practically next door to the heart
of the Tau Empire, the wrong move could start a very costly war.
Beinirham is almost a twin of Catachan, with an equally hostile
Jungle, although it does have a few larger landlocked Seas. Also,
officials find the source to be unreliable. This and the fact
knowledge of its riches haven't traveled far, is the reason it isn't
crawling with Servants of The Emperor, or an abundance of Rouge
traders trying to strike it rich. Making it almost a walk in the park
for a good sized group of Catachans to secure it, and take advantage
of it, the force sent was only about half a company. If the Xeno's,
especially the Tau, found out what the small planet hides under its
jungley surface, it would be quite a challenge to hold off an entire army.
So I'm sure that the Praetorian Trading Co, would be willing to
Exchange Uranium, or mining shares for much needed equipment,
personal, and vehicles; Supplies like Food, fuel, ammo, etc; a new
shuttle, The old one was shot down, long story; maybe something to
boost our defenses: or somthing else useful.
Also, could you throw in one of those cool helmets you guys like to wear.
