The Hand of The Princess

The Hand of The Princess is one of the Wolphax quests in The Long Journey Home.

Description
This quest is given by a Lovestruck Wolphax. As he approaches the player, he states that he has fallen in love with the princess El-Zia Jachrae of the Green, who is of a higher caste and could therefore never marry him, a mere Gallant of the Red. Thus, he asks the player to stage an attack onto the transport ship that is bringing the princess to a sacred world for a pilgrimage, so that he could "defend" her from you and become part of a higher caste.

In a close-by system the player has to intercept a Wolphax Transport Ship and attack it. The ship immediately surrenders and the player has to ask for and accept El-Zia Jachrae. Declining is impossible.

In the next system the Lovestruck Wolphax attacks and the player can surrender right away by hailing him. If El-Zia Jachrae is released, he will fly away with her.

The Lovestruck Wolphax contacts the player soon after and thanks for the help. El-Zia Jachrae was not entirely convinced by the performance, but she is flattered by the effort. The player receives approximately 250-350.

If the player decides to keep El-Zia Jachrae, the Lovestruck Wolphax will fight to death and the Wolphax respect is reduced twice. Destroying the Wolphax Transport Ship will turn the Wolphax hostile. Destroying the Lovestruck Wolphax ends the quest.
