It's been bugged a while and I want to say posted before but its still there so...

The itani advancement log text upon taking the border patrol reads...

"You are to enter the Deneb system and engage any Itani pilots you encounter. Do not disgrace yourself by killing a rookie - a warrior's worth is proven only in defeating a superior foe."

I'm fairly sure this is the Serco text of the mission, I do not know what the Itani text should be as it's been a very long while since I've seen it.

Yeah, noticed this too for a while, just couldn't be bothered to report it because it's not too major.

yes telling ones army to kill themselves is not major at all
