# The Ministry of Opportunity's objective chain and its bounty board.
#
# Objectives run in order. Each names one goal, a reward, and optionally a
# letter from the Minister that arrives when the objective begins (the
# signature is added by the game). A brief says {pirate} or {pirates} where
# it names the pirates, so it follows what the pilot knows (native_stars.rs);
# the Minister's letters keep his own word.

#     credits {amount}      credits in the wallet
#     frontier {stage}      how far into the system's edge you've got: surveyed
