Hello there fellas, Starr here.

After what seemed to me a long wait, my new Nanda Devi bomber was ready to pick up.

I took a zoner transport from Gran Canaria all the way up to Freeport 6, and from there to Java Station, in Tau-23. I talked to an IMG representative there, and he got me on the next freighter from Java to Timor Mining Station, in the Tau-39 system, where the final assembly of the Devi is made.


I soon as I got off the freighter I saw her parked at the launch bay. Looks heavy, but at the same time nimble. It appears to be a powerful ship, and its double torpedo mounts show it.


After signing all the transfer papers, I launched and engaged the cruise engines. The first impressions were good. The ship looks to be a little more agile than my old Waran, it was easy to dodge the asteroids on my way through the system.


I took the quicker route, that being via Tau 23 and 31 to Leeds and then Dublin. All was strangely quiet as I passed through Leeds. The only remembrance of the war was the gallic battleship parked in orbit of Planet Leeds.


The flight proceeded without incidents all the way to Omega 49. The mechanics at Nichols are giving the ship a 'check-up' and it should be available for active duty within the hour.


And just now, as I entered my office here at Nichols, I received a message from Livadia Shipyards telling me that the engineers have finished the retrofitting of the Sabana with new armor and computer systems. The old gunboat, in service of OSI for many years, and that was designated to me after I became a Director, looks brand new now, according to what the chief engineer say on the message. I can barely wait to see her!



Starr out.

Hello again, my friends, it's David reporting...

So, this last week, while I was flying some supplies for our Equipment Factory at Nichols, I was checking the logs at the Shooting Starr, and when I look at the ship's clock, it was just about to hit the 250 space hours mark. That means I am due to a scheduled maintenance routine at Livadia.


Before I reached the 275 hours mark (the 10% overtime limit for the maintenance) I decided to make the classic Deuterium run to Freeport XV, and from there to Livadia for the procedure. So here we are docked at Fifteen dumping the Deuterium into the freeport's tanks.


After finishing unloading, I set course for Livadia, and contacted them while in the way there. I was assigned a dry dock, and after some maneuvering, the ship was safely moored in place for the engineers and technicians to start their magic.


Just by looking at it the chief engineer already said they would need to replace the thruster. Too much time taking all that radiation and also some blaster hits. He said they can refurbish an used Corvo cruiser thruster, that can take much more damage from weapons fire and is also much more resilient against radiation. I wonder if I should ask them to put a heavier armor plating when they start to repair the hull... Hmmm, I need to talk to that guy again.



Anyway, that's it for now, 'cause next I am going to the docking bays to take a look on how the Sabana got after it's overhaul and retrofit. Starr out.
