Believe me, I've done some googling.

This mission wasn't a major one necessary to progress in the game, so it 
wasn't mentioned - and actually there seems to be quite a bit of detail 
missing. I did the Joint Forces mission, where you lead an assault on a 
marauder base protected by a Gunstar, and the guide tells you how to do 
destroy the base, but omits that if you then destroy the Gunstar there's 
a pile of valuable cargo you can then get Jafs to collect. It also 
doesn'`t mention what your reward from the Stepsons, is which is 
apparently an assault cannon and some ammo - but I can't find that in my 
inventory despite being told I'd been given it.  :-/


The actual mission I was having trouble with I've now done, I just 
needed to wait until I had some more firepower, but at the time you are 
encouraged to undertake the mission, there's no way (at least at my 
skill level) you can beat the 3 cruisers protecting the fuel hauler. 
Which seems a slightly dodgy regarding the game's design.  

Still, I'm having a lot of fun with it though.
