Good evening, just a report from today's patrol after my initiate process being completed.
Starting from Yaren base, there was a small fighter wing and the Laptev moving towards Freeport 11 to start the patrol.
Almost immediately we were hearing weird sounds, so the Laptev fired the cloak disruptor which uncloaked a K'hara Fighter. Almost straight away the Freeport 11 open fired defensive weapons onto the K'hara and Alexandra Rose finished the K'hara off. From this moment forward we knew we needed to patrol the northern sector of Delta so we head towards Omicron Minor jump hole.
I broke from the patrol team and headed further north and started picking up more K'hara aliens close to what seems to have been a Complex. The K'hara did not like my presence and was firing on my Manta within seconds, the Laptev and fighter wing moved in as quickly and swiftly as possible. From that moment onwards there was alot of shooting and fighting going on so my guncam images was not my priority. Survival for myself and the rest of the Core pilots where in the process.
Alexandra Rose was shot down but I tractored her escape pod in and we done all the damage we could, some of them where shot down and some of them escaped. We lost Jack Burns also which was tractored by myself also. They are both safe on Yaren Base and being dealt by the medical team.
While my Manta was in for repair, I took my Moray Bomber on it's first patrol in Omicron Delta, flying along side Ace's of Clubs while seeing the Coalition and PRIME near Omicron Kappa. We sat patiently to see what was going to happen and everything moved to Omicron Kappa and I was the last to move through, when I got to Kappa the Ace's of Clubs was under fire so I moved in and open fired. Was not a good idea being a bomber but I was shot down after some time, and we shot some of them down, from what i've heard we won the fight. But my images will speak for there self.

Good evening, just a report from today's patrol.
The patrol was within Omicron Delta, I was making my way to Freeport 11 from Yaren Base, when I saw Alexandra Rose being engaged by a member of Battlegroup Auxesia. I mostly quickly and swiftly in and support Rose. Both of us engaging the Battlegroup Auxesia pilot. I took a quick scan of his Identification before moving in, after about 5 minutes, a second Battlegroup Auxesia pilot turned up which gave Rose enough time to use the Laptev for cover when she was suppressed. I continued to target there Roc bomber which was identified. Trying to identify the second pilot, this is what we found out. Identification seemed to show us it was an Eagle Fighter. They did not stay in the fight long, decided to retreat, and there was a Nomad Voidrunner around also supporting Battlegroup Auxesia from what I could see. Didn't take scans of that because it was a little obvious and did not explode. Jake Burns moved to support us in the fight and we chased the Auxesia Roc Bomber into Minor and I finished him off with a mini razor shot then landing a nuclear Mine on him, making him explode. Was even kind enough to tractor his escape pod and take him to the Freeport.
Returning to Freeport 11, we spotted a Freelancer Sabre carrying Nomad Fighter Remains which we demanded to be dropped due to them being contraband. The Freelancer was happy to hand them over and I tractored them in. Finishing my patrol at Yaren Base.

Just another report coming in. This is about the convoy which was escorted by myself a SB. We started the convoy from Freeport 11, the convoy consisted off.

Core|SB-1
Core|AV-Schwartzvelt
Core|APM-L-Mercurius
Core|APM-Klendathu
We were informed that the transporters where to take Iridium to New London, Bretonian space and drop it off at a location within the scrap field. This is confirmation on the amount Core|APM-L-Mercurius and Core|APM-Klendathu delivered to our destination at this location.
Before reaching New London, we had a little trouble with two Molly's. Both being the Hyena Bomber Class, this is proof of our first target Gareth Bale who was later Shot down shot down . But before the shooting started I managed to get Identification of Gareth Bale and then Identification of 1 Shot Paddy who was his companion. His companion 1 Shot Paddy ran into a mine which made his ship exploded.
Once both of the Mollys where destroyed we made our way to the location to deliver the iridium. We moved to Planet New London to collect some Gin if im not mistaken where we were stopped by a Armed Forces pilot which was flying a Nyx Fighter just to confirm the Identifications I pulled up a quick scan of the pilot. He was definantly a Armed Forces pilot. The Armed Forces pilot was not happy that we had a Bustard Civilian Carrier within the orbit of Planet New London, so we were ordered and demanded to leave at once with an escort from himself. We moved to Cortez and then made our way to Texas after a little routine scan from the LPI within California.
Once we reached Texas we met up with a Junker Congress member known as Bill who gladly filled our Bustard Civilian Carrier up with Premium Scrap, from here we rendezvous at Planet Houston where a Fugitive pilot was speaking to our Bison Battletransport, offering escorts. So he tagged along, while flying with us I pulled an Identification scan on him for future reference. We all made it back to Omicron Rho safetly.

Subject: suspicious individual

I report (another) suspicious person that made its way to omicron Delta,
I have seen the individual in question the day before what I report now, having a reserved attitude towards Core forces, what made me interested and when I saw him at the Freeport I couldnt resist to try find out more.
So I asked him about his past and apparently he is a former soldier of the Rheinwehr although I couldnt find out more about that than that he dont want to go back to house space (probably he is hunted).
But the interesting part is what happend after that. He told me that he was still having a headache from an encounter with four Nomads the day before.
Moments after that he told me he "felt" that one of the Nomads he met before was nearby and he went out to talk to that Nomad.
Nothing too suspicious so far there are always confused people out here but he actually managed to get the Nomad to uncloak and seems to have had a "conversation" with it.
I guess it will not take long till he is either infected or dead, where the second options seems to be the better outcome for all.
I will try to keep an eye on him nevertheless maybe he becomes useful.

Today I report a fight in omicron Gamma the day before,
When I took my Moray out for a fly I got a message that the Klendathu was in omicron Gamma, which was at that time under attack by Outcast forces. Since I was interested and eager to help I made my way through omicron 74 and Theta to Gamma.
I closed in to the Klendathu which was in a far orbit above planet Crete.
There we saw a damaged Corsair battleship heading towards us. In the time we exchanged nice words we got backup by Xenomorph_XX121 ( an Orca gunboat ). Then the Corsair battleship set about to ram the Klendathu while we were about to engage it.
In the following fight both the Klendathu and the Xenomorph were heavily damaged and I wasnt able to overcome the shields of the Battleship.
So I turned towards a Corsair fighter which engaged me and eventually killed it.
After that I was able to leave Gamma and headed back to omicron Delta.

Greetings.
Ezrael Vertiga, Captain of Core Mercenery Battleship "Apahanta" here. This is the report on the yesterday's incursion of the Corsair Battleship CNS-Bahama at Yaren Base.
The Apahanta was just patroling the area Omicron Delta's main star's asteroid belt, when one of Freeport 11's visitors, the pilot of the ship with the designation "Paradox" was talking to someone who was out of our battleship sensor range, noticing it's Corsair Battleship. Adding audio data here.
As soon as I heard that, I gave order to cloak the Apahanta, just right in time, since the Corsair was about to enter sensor range. The battleship was looking for something, cruising around the Freeport, then heading to Dabadoru and in the end travelling to Yaren Base, where it began to open fire with it's long range weaponry. Those two ASF pilots, Atticus.Rockford and Takeo.Kobayashi, we're there, talking to the Corsair and watching him attacking our Battleship Bellona. Our communication officer sent out a distress call, and short time later our good pilots Jack Burns and Byron Hall arrived in their Morey bombers. In the meantime, the Apahanta was still cloaked, scanning the Bahama. Here are the scanner data:

While the Bellona was protected by both it's own as well as Yaren's extended base shields, we managed to form up a response fleet. The Apahanta decloaked, we warned the Bahama to leave Omicron Delta, and it refused, so we opened fire. Byron Hall and Jack Burns did a very good job at keeping the Bahama's shields down, while the Apahanta established a defensive perimeter around Bellona and Yaren, answering the Corsair's fire with our mortars. It tried to lure us away from Yaren and Bellona, but we didn't fall for that. Unluckily, one moment of missed attention, Burns' moray got heavily damaged and he had to eject his escape pod. Takeo Kobayashi managed to retrieve the pod and brought Burns' to Yaren. He's okay.
Later, Captain Jess arrived to assist us. With her help, we were able to win this fight.

Our bomber pilots did a very impressive performance, dodging all those shots. Whenever the Bahama tried to focus on anti-snub manouvers, we gave it a little pressure, getting closer to it, drawing the attention back to us.
That's it. Report ends here.

Ezrael Vertiga, Captain of Core Mercenery Battleship "Apahanta" here. This is the report on the Core Expedition rescue mission and the nomad battle from yesterday.
Right, a Core Expedition Mako. I don't know when this was sent to Omicron Lost, but it reappeared yesterday, heavily damaged, at system grid coordinates C/D-3, within the Omicron Delta main sun's asteroid belt. We just saw explosions from at those coordinates when the Apahanta patroled Delta and the Freeport on the opposite side of the sun's belt, talking to Outcast Eliza Valdez. We moved both our ships to the coordinates to find this Mako, according to the cruise engine signature it has arrived in Delta using the jump hole from Omicron Lost.
![[Image: apm02_by_rhulaner-da07dwp.png]](http://orig11.deviantart.net/d5be/f/2016/115/6/b/apm02_by_rhulaner-da07dwp.png)
The Mako was in a terrible shape, and it's structural integrity was decreasing rapidly. A nomad battleship and some of the smaller units also got awareness of the Mako and intercepted us. We sent a distress signal to all Core ships in Delta and soon got our back-up. When the WV-Scipio arrived, the Apahanta was already done with nomad battleship and getting closer to the Expedition Ship.
Scans of the ship indicated survivors on board, and we also picked up some strange sensor readings from it's cargo bay. I guess as long as the Core doesn't share some information with us, we will never know what those readings had to mean. Anyway, the sensor recordings are attached to this, so have fun. [The Mako had some artifacts and a nomad power cells in it's cargo (according to console chat by Alley, the Mako itself was a "station"). Since Vertiga is not an official Core captain but just a contracted Mercenary, he and his crew don't have specific knowledge about those kind of technology. Even when Alley wanted us to know it.]
So I ordered the Apahanta to moor with the [Disabled Mako], and two of our boarding team went over there to rescue as many survivors as possible. Core mercenary pilot Cody Sires also moored on the other side of the Mako, trying to bring some survivors to his little fighter. While we were moored, another wave of nomads arrive, again with a marduk battleship at the front. The Scipio, the Outcasts and the other pilots who joined this battle gave us cover. In the meantime, our boarding teams progressed deeper into the Mako. Some bigger explosions caused some parts of the ship to break off and we lost contact to one of our teams. There wasn't much time left, and when the other team reached one of the storage bays, they found some strange artifacts there as well as another group of survivors, totally panicking. The team brought those guys back to the Apahanta, but we didn't have enough time to get those artifacts. I ordered to unmoor us from the Mako, and short time later, it broke apart in a big explosion, when the power core lost it's integrity.

36 survivors. 36 survivors on a ship that usually is crewed with about 470 people or more. Some of them were in very critical physical condition, and all of them still are unable to grasp what happened. We first brought them to the Freeport, making sure we can get back to the ground zero as fast as possible, because...

Those oracle pilots, whenever they joined this battle, called it the "Ish'tar". A nomad battleship even bigger than a marduk, and it's appearance caused multiple headaches among my crew. Literally. Even I heard the mind screams when this advocat of hell jumped in. Must have been terrible to those outcasts.
The Ish'tar gave us the choice: Leaving the battlefield alive in a retreat or die in vein in this battle. At this point, we were totally outmatched. One nomad battleship and also the Ish'tar with it's incredible long range front cannons. It was able to hit the Scipio from a distance of about seven to eight kilometers, and the hit took down it's shields instantly. While this insane captain on the Scipio was about to engage together with the WV-Numidia, I decided to back off, engaged cloak and forcing our ships to fall back to Yaren by doing so. There was no way we could have made it, with all those nomad bombers and even infected around.
At least, while our forces fell back, we managed to get some footage on the Ish'tar while we were cloaked.
![[Image: apm04_by_rhulaner-da07dvr.png]](http://orig15.deviantart.net/d3b6/f/2016/115/3/0/apm04_by_rhulaner-da07dvr.png)
Some minutes later, our forces had gathered at Yaren and Bellona for a counter attack. My ship engaged the cloak again to scout ahead, checking the situation. The Ish'tar was still around, close to the wreckage of the Expedition Mako, along with the Inanna, the second marduk battleship out there. And lots of little nomads.
Then, our forces engaged. The Scipio, the Numidia, the Danger Zone and the Apahanta focused their firepower onto the Ish'tar and the Inanna. The Scipio was severely damanged and had to retreat, and some escape pods already left the ship, to be catched by the Apahanta and the Numidia. After a short time, the Ish'tar was destroyed, as well as the Apahanta got the final hit on the Inanna.
![[Image: apm05_by_rhulaner-da07dva.png]](http://orig14.deviantart.net/08d3/f/2016/115/b/6/apm05_by_rhulaner-da07dva.png)
Our snub pilots did a great job, taking down one nomad after another. It took them only a few minutes after the destruction of the Ish'tar to bring an end to this.
Sadly, I also have to report the loss of the Core pilot Cody Sires. It's not like he died in his duty as a Core affiliated pilot, but loosing his body to a nomad incubus. In this whole mess we didn't notice what happened to him when he entered the disabled Mako, but somehow, he switched the sides, telling proudly he was now a under nomad control. He killed the survivors he brought to his ship, shooting them in the head, enjoying it like a mad man. Also, he claimed to got his hands on a nomad power cell he scavanged from the Mako. I suppose this cell was the source of the strange energy signatures we read on the Mako. But that's the stuff our scientist at Alabama and Durban have to deal with.
Anyway, we lost track of most of the smaller ships when we got hit by the Ish'tars powerful guns, so I can't give more information on their doings. Maybe some of the other guys can give you a report from their sight.
After the battle, the Apahanta brought all the survivors, both from the Mako and the battlefield, back to Yaren. Then we head back to the freeport, watching the debris of the Mako, checking for more escape pods or equipment to gather, but there wasn't much left.
Also, I payed the Outcast pilot Eliza Valdez a sum of 5.000.000 Credits for her astonishingly fearless support at our side. She did a great job and without her, the first attack wave would have slaughtered us.
That's it. Report ends here.

There wasn't much time left, and when the other team reached one of the storage bays, they found some strange artifacts there as well as another group of survivors, totally panicking. The team brought those guys back to the Apahanta, but we didn't have enough time to get those artifacts. I ordered to unmoor us from the Mako, and short time later, it broke apart in a big explosion, when the power core lost it's integrity.
36 survivors. 36 survivors on a ship that usually is crewed with about 470 people or more. Some of them were in very critical physical condition, and all of them still are unable to grasp what happened. We first brought them to the Freeport, making sure we can get back to the ground zero as fast as possible, because...
This arrived...
Those oracle pilots, whenever they joined this battle, called it the "Ish'tar". A nomad battleship even bigger than a marduk, and it's appearance caused multiple headaches among my crew. Literally. Even I heard the mind screams when this advocat of hell jumped in. Must have been terrible to those outcasts.
The Ish'tar gave us the choice: Leaving the battlefield alive in a retreat or die in vein in this battle. At this point, we were totally outmatched. One nomad battleship and also the Ish'tar with it's incredible long range front cannons. It was able to hit the Scipio from a distance of about seven to eight kilometers, and the hit took down it's shields instantly. While this insane captain on the Scipio was about to engage together with the WV-Numidia, I decided to back off, engaged cloak and forcing our ships to fall back to Yaren by doing so. There was no way we could have made it, with all those nomad bombers and even infected around.
At least, while our forces fell back, we managed to get some footage on the Ish'tar while we were cloaked.
Some minutes later, our forces had gathered at Yaren and Bellona for a counter attack. My ship engaged the cloak again to scout ahead, checking the situation. The Ish'tar was still around, close to the wreckage of the Expedition Mako, along with the Inanna, the second marduk battleship out there. And lots of little nomads.
Then, our forces engaged. The Scipio, the Numidia, the Danger Zone and the Apahanta focused their firepower onto the Ish'tar and the Inanna. The Scipio was severely damanged and had to retreat, and some escape pods already left the ship, to be catched by the Apahanta and the Numidia. After a short time, the Ish'tar was destroyed, as well as the Apahanta got the final hit on the Inanna.
Our snub pilots did a great job, taking down one nomad after another. It took them only a few minutes after the destruction of the Ish'tar to bring an end to this.
Sadly, I also have to report the loss of the Core pilot Cody Sires. It's not like he died in his duty as a Core affiliated pilot, but loosing his body to a nomad incubus. In this whole mess we didn't notice what happened to him when he entered the disabled Mako, but somehow, he switched the sides, telling proudly he was now a under nomad control. He killed the survivors he brought to his ship, shooting them in the head, enjoying it like a mad man. Also, he claimed to got his hands on a nomad power cell he scavanged from the Mako. I suppose this cell was the source of the strange energy signatures we read on the Mako. But that's the stuff our scientist at Alabama and Durban have to deal with.
Anyway, we lost track of most of the smaller ships when we got hit by the Ish'tars powerful guns, so I can't give more information on their doings. Maybe some of the other guys can give you a report from their sight.
After the battle, the Apahanta brought all the survivors, both from the Mako and the battlefield, back to Yaren. Then we head back to the freeport, watching the debris of the Mako, checking for more escape pods or equipment to gather, but there wasn't much left.
Also, I payed the Outcast pilot Eliza Valdez a sum of 5.000.000 Credits for her astonishingly fearless support at our side. She did a great job and without her, the first attack wave would have slaughtered us.
That's it. Report ends here.

Subject: Meeting between SCRA, Blood Dragons and Order, possibly more factions involved
ENCRYPTION: CORE STANDARD
Ezrael Vertiga, Captain of Core Mercenery Battleship "Apahanta" here. This is the report on the sight of a fleet of the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army, the Order and the Blood Dragons as well as other possibly involved parties.
The Apahanta was just observing a small battle group consisting of the Corsair Murmillo Battleship "Majorca", AI harvester cruiser PRIME|Delta-35 and the Apokatastasis harvester cruiser. These ships were patroling the Kiribati Asteroid Field and the central space of Omicron Delta, encountering several nomad forces. While the Apahantas wasn't close enough to the harvester drones, we managed to get a deep scan of the Majorca, aquiring awareness about their cloaking device. Well, it's not the first time we've encountered the Majorca in Delta. Looks like this Corsair Battleship and those AI cruisers frequently patrol Delta to collect nomadic material for research.
We went back to Yaren to refill our cloaking batteries, as SCRA signatures appeared on the radar, showing a fleet of multiple battleship- and carrier-sized ships leaving the nebula area and heading for the freeport. We maintained our distance and stayed cloaked - those guys would have grilled us within a minute. While cloaked, we scanned their ships. Data will be attached to this report.
Our comm. officer also recorded the whole conversation they did. Unluckily, it lacks in relevant information. Anyway, here the logs:
Unluckily, the Numidia appeared at this moment right at the freeport. Still cloaked, we joined the Numidia on it's way to Yaren, where our forces gathered for another stupid raid on the Omicron Kappa system. The combined fleet of the SCRA, Blood Dragons and Order were already leaving Omicron Delta using the jump hole to Omicron Minor. I decided to pursue them. Their fleet set course to the Omicron Mu system, using the Omicron Zeta jump hole in Minor and the jump hole to Mu in Zeta.
Here's the logs we got from Omicron Mu:
Looks like their sensor arrays in Omicron Mu are a little challenging for us, even in cloak mode. Too bad, the Apahanta ran out of cloaking batteries again, since we had to slow down while pursuing them to Mu. Sadly, that's all the footage we got. Their fleet was gathering at the Taba Border Station, then they seemed to get awareness of our presence in Mu.

Anyway, better this report than no report.
