Sir, I have something important, I had to contact you directly for this.
I was on a standard patrol under Lizard of the 49th, we had decided to take a peek in 44. I had requested to break formation to go to Borneo and use my sensory equipment to try and locate any Colonial beacons...lots of people didn't make it to the transports before the Gallics invaded.
After not getting anything for quite some time, we were about to leave, by luck I had tried again and I actually got a ping. The source originated on the older Colonial Military Emergency D-Band encryption scheme, specifically, the 44th battlegroup, my father's men.
Whatever was broadcasting it, it was on low energy and on an automated loop so the chances of survivors are low..however, there really might be 44th pilots still trapped on Borneo, and perhaps civilians. I have attached the relevant navigational position system on the source of beacon to this transmission, it ranges down to a 10 kilometer square area. I urge you to look at this data and take action before it's too late.
Westridge out.

Westridge reporting in.
A nice diet today, and by diet I mean 3 Valor class Royalist battleships. I got contacted privately by a Council contact of mine, he reported two capital class vessels in 23. I alerted the 49th and made best speed for 23, several 49th members were on duty at the time including Warrant Officer Arisu Chamberlain who intercepted a Valor at 31 while she was making her way to 23, the Valor had jumped to 31 and we were ordered to RV at her position and engage the target. A Council fighter also joined us in the quick battle which ended up with the Valor annihilated.
We then returned to 23 where the Council was engaged with 2 Valors near an EFL station below the horizon. Nothing much to say there, we assisted the Council with our bombers wing and dispatched the two Valors to hell. Our side suffered no losses, perfectly done.
However there were still enemies in the area, I made it to Hades and switched to my Nyx and headed back to 23. A single EFL Lynx had followed us all the way to the 39 hole and we only had one other fighter on our side, I engaged the EFL in a duel. The bastard loved using my mines I gotta say..but in the end I blew him apart.
Report end.

Ladies, Gentlemen,
Long time no see I guess, to whoever takes care of the countless reports, eh? While during the last weeks I could avoid the honourable duty of sending in after action reports it's up to me again to inform you about today's victories against the fellow frog-eaters from the neighbourhood.
So, I already knew that something big was going on when launching from the Hades the third time today, as the emergency channels were full of reports about gallic capital ships in the Taus. It didn't take long for a 49th emergency wing, consisting of Horizon, Hellhound, me as well as the Warrant Officers Westridge and Chamberlain, to launch, and soon we gathered 5 Pythos, an Exile-piloted bomber and several Council assets.
Due to the fact the various gallic ships were spread through several Tau systems, an assault plan was created quickly and our forces split up into two teams. While the Firebirds took care of a capital vessel that could be identified as the RNS-Tonnant, which headed towards the Leeds-system, the Exile pilot and the Council troops kept to other battleships in Tau-23 busy. Needless to say, a strikeforce of six Pythos, piloted by goddamn succesful pilots – no arrogance here, seriously – had an easy game with the Tonnant, which's defensive weaponry was completely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of allied vessels and was crippled after a relatively short fight.
But with the Tonnant disabled, the fight was not over yet, as the Council forces were quite busy pinning the two other battleships down, which seemingly defended a GMS installation in Tau-23. The vessels with designations Julian and Sceptre gave the Council a pretty tough fight. Well, until the cavalry arrived, if you get what I mean.
From the point of our arrival on it was a cakewalk to remove those Gallic buggers from this world. Guncam proof of their destruction is attached to this file.
But, to give this report a personal note, frikkin' best thing of the day was what happened after the destruction of both Valor-class battleships. We did not take note of him first, but there was an EFL| security pilot around who seemed to be quite a bit baffled about how his protectors just went boom! When we already decided to head back to the Hades, he followed us, probably in order to mess with everyone of us. I'm pretty sure that guy went totally nuts.
However, to get rid of that little problem on our tails, we made up a plan: As all of our pilots flew Pythos it could have been difficult to cripple that fighter, so I gladly took the job to distract the EFL| guy until we got fighter support from the Hades. To make this report not any longer, I'll keep a long story short with saying that after Flight Officer Langley and Warrant Officer Westridge picked up their Nyxes and I had some fun with the Frog-eater, we quickly removed this annoyance. What'd be nothing but another kill on today's long list!

"Langley here,
I may have over-looked some things in regards to who the emergency response team was. So.. hopefully they'll come forwards.
Moving on, at the beginning of the emergency call, I undocked from a stay on Planet Leeds with my Pytho. The opening scene was pretty horrifying as I entered orbit around Leeds in the middle of a firefight between Armed Forces vessels and Molly destroyers. Shortly after, I received a hail from the Mollys stating my immediate destruction... needed elsewhere, I pulled from the fight and went to meet up with our engaged ships at the Tau-31 gate in Leeds.
The RNS-Tonnant had managed to make its way through the gate and into hostile fire taking some damage before the rest of our ERT arrived on location and proceeded to open the tin can. Wasn't long before the Valor was disabled.
Once the Valor was dead in the water, our team in Leeds proceeded directly to Tau-23 and arrived on scene at the Gallic Mining Station where Council capital ships were currently engaged with two more Valors. I flew directly past both of the Valors and made a bee-line towards the station to arm it's shielding to prevent the enemy capitals a way to escape. Thankfully, it seemed to have worked. Within a matter of minutes, both hostile ships were disabled.
As mentioned by Flight Officer Shanda, near the end of the battle, we found ourselves being stalked by a lone EFL ship. Myself and Westridge proceeded to the Hades and jumped in our fighters. Then headed out, eventually the Gaul got into a solo duel with Westridge and was taken down.
Zero ships were lost."

- Warrant Officer "Westridge" - Nyx
- Warrant Officer "Mercer" - Nyx
So, my first report and a successful one at that.
Well, I received a call from Liz and Westridge about a Lanciere problem in Tau-37. Upon reaching the Jump hole from Tau-23 I was told that Westridge's initial engagement had failed. However, following this we found that Outcasts had littered Tau-23 and were going nuts. We ID'd a Storta and stopped its cruise engines. He could exchange smug words and then opened fire, causing all of us to have to make evasive manoeuvres. Despite calling for support, only 2 soldiers with the "=VG=" callsign were able to assist. We did not have enough firepower to stop the Storta and he escaped.
Shortly after, a Gunboat was sighted and Flight Officer "Eagle" was able to undock and assist us. It wasn't long before the Gunboat was destroyed by me, though it was a hell of a group effort. Unfortunely, following this Lizard was taken out by a loadout fault on her ship but the her lightning reactions to the console meant she was able to eject quickly and was safely collected.
From here, Eagle took to sweeping the rest of the system to sniff out any more Hispanics and I hung around dangerously close to Cali to make sure no more of the cowards got away. A Sabre with callsign "Jensen_Royco" was brave enough to undock. He refused to respond to disrupting his cruise engines and instead fired on me. However, this was no challenge. I did not catch the kill on the guncam but the internal target logs on my ship did.
Code:
[16.06.2013 21:22:06] Death: Jensen_Royco was put out of action by CR|-WO.Mercer (Mine)Hmm, seems my system clock was still in sync with Crayter time. Need to get that fixed.
I caught up with Eagle following this as no more Outcasts made themselves known. Cowards. A brief encounter with an AI Vessel came just before we ended the patrol and flew back to Falkland Base.
Mercer, out.

Subject: Escape pod recovery
From: Dante Roberts
To: Colonial Military
To: Colonial Military
This is a simple report that I need to make on the hand over of a Colonial escape pod that was given to me from an Outcast in Tau-37. I was simply flying out there in hopes of finding interesting and special technology on old wrecks in the nearby nebulae. But instead ran into an Outcast by the name of Chenzo who is part of the 101st. He showed no hostility and I flew back to Freeport 10 where we had an interesting little chat in which he mentioned the destruction of a Colonial ship. He told me he had the escape pod of this pilot and returned it to me all intact with the pilot still in good condition (No Cardamine exposure). The pilot Mercer is now in our care and should be up and flying again soon. The Outcast and I had a little banter after the transaction and he left with no hostility. I had no intentions of fighting him either as I was not equipped to handle such a fight at the time.

Westridge here.
Did an excruciatingly long patrol of the entire Taus, unfortunately, it was extremely dull without almost any action. Just a few small Outcast and Gallic patrols here and there, not really a challenge. Although there was one odd event with a peculiar Outcast gunship, I think he was incredibly high and not just on Cardi..well, the best way to explain it would be via my logs, I'm uploading them now.

In an unlikely turn of events, yesterday I was down in Coronado for ship repairs on Sabah, when all available forces were called out to sector B7. Upon arrival, we were met with a disturbing sight.
![[Image: xBBKYYcl.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/xBBKYYcl.jpg)
What was actually going on, I can't be sure. Readings across the board were going haywire. However, the CIS and Order agents present were less than informative. After a few minutes of waiting, still not knowing what to expect, several contacts appeared, seamingly having come from the giant structure. Attached below are the comm records following their arrival.
As you'll notice, an engagement followed. We, unfortunately, lost two Nyx craft, and despite downing twice that of their own, they kept on coming. The final blow was a "Marduk", too large for our small task force to take on, we retreated. Regrouping at sector D6, we finally pulled in capital support in the form of the Euryphaessa and Argo Thanatos cruisers.
Not far behind, the nomads had brought in their own extra firepower. No sign of the Marduk sighted at the gate, but two "Irra" nomads, plus snub support. From here, we were able to stage a proper defence. It wasn't long before the first "Irra" was downed, while our fighters wore down our counterparts. The remaining "Irra" was a sitting duck for two Thanatos, and with their cap support wasted, the remaining snubcraft were easy pickings.
Below are the kill records for the entire operation.

[17.06.2013 17:48:21] CR|-Sage[17th]: Alongside more aliens.
[17.06.2013 17:48:30] CR|-Lizard[49th]: For sure.
[17.06.2013 17:48:48] CR|-WO:Ravis: All ships, power up weapons.
[17.06.2013 17:48:57] CR|-Sentry[17th]: *powering all systems*
[17.06.2013 17:49:07] Wilde.Frevel: You have ventured too far...
[17.06.2013 17:49:13] CR|-Sentry[17th]: Have we now?
[17.06.2013 17:49:15] Order|Finley.: you too
[17.06.2013 17:49:24] CR|-Sage[17th]: Careful of the lighter one.
[17.06.2013 17:49:29] CR|-Lizard[49th]: Well, I guess you don't want to hear we even wanted to go farther
[17.06.2013 17:49:32] Wilde.Hammerschmidt.: Perhaps, what are your intentions here? It's dangerous you know
[17.06.2013 17:49:41] Wilde.Vergeltung: very dangerous
[17.06.2013 17:49:45] CR|-Sicarius[17th]: Dangerous for us... Or you?
[17.06.2013 17:49:46] Wilde.Frevel: Only death awaits those that are too curious.
[17.06.2013 17:49:57] Wilde.Hammerschmidt.: Possibly pain, too.
[17.06.2013 17:50:09] Wilde.Vergeltung: much pain
[17.06.2013 17:50:11] CR|-WO:Ravis: I see six contacts, confirm?
[17.06.2013 17:50:19] CR|-Sentry[17th]: Confirmed.
[17.06.2013 17:50:22] Wilde.Hammerschmidt.: Since, again, quite dangerous in unknown space. Why, you wouldn't believe what I saw over there.
[17.06.2013 17:50:27] CR|-WO:Ravis: Damn.
[17.06.2013 17:50:36] Wilde.Hammerschmidt.: It would turn your hair white. Clearly the best plan is to just give up and go home, ja?
[17.06.2013 17:50:39] CR|-WO:Ravis: Master arm is online, anyone got eyes on enemy?
[17.06.2013 17:50:44] CR|-Sentry[17th]: Because we'd rather see ourselves.
[17.06.2013 17:51:00] Wilde.Frevel: You do not want to.
[17.06.2013 17:51:03] Order|Adriana.D'Angelo: Wilde IFF, Nomad equipment all over the ship. Clearly not Nomad... so when we kill them, Colonials?
[17.06.2013 17:51:16] Wilde.Frevel: You are not to kill, human.
[17.06.2013 17:51:18] Wilde.Hammerschmidt.: Not at all, there are no nomads.
[17.06.2013 17:51:26] Wilde.Hammerschmidt.: It's but a story to scare gullible children.
[17.06.2013 17:51:32] Order|Adriana.D'Angelo: I dont think Nomads understand sarcasm yet then.
[17.06.2013 17:52:17] CR|-Sage[17th]: This is senseless enough.
[17.06.2013 17:52:20] CR|-Sentry[17th]: Colonials - let's get them down. We need no annoyance.
[17.06.2013 17:52:25] Wilde.Frevel: Sarcasm is useless, it serves no purpose.
[17.06.2013 17:52:30] Wilde.Frevel: Just like you.
[17.06.2013 17:52:31] Wilde.Vergeltung: fear on the other hand
[17.06.2013 17:52:33] CR|-Sage[17th]: Frevel.
[17.06.2013 17:52:39] CR|-Lizard[49th]: Oh, don't get rude now.
[17.06.2013 17:52:39] Wilde.Hammerschmidt.: They seem intent on senseless pillage. Best to be prepared.
[17.06.2013 17:52:46] Wilde.Frevel: We are.
[17.06.2013 17:53:25] Wilde.Vergeltung: shall we encourage them to leave?
[17.06.2013 17:53:30] Order|Adriana.D'Angelo: Reap them apart.
[17.06.2013 17:53:34] Wilde.Frevel: They would not understand.
[17.06.2013 17:53:37] K'Hara|Ennugi: ***...(Amusement)... 'Many' clouded minds will -find- "their" extinguishing this ~cycle~...***
[17.06.2013 17:53:40] CR|-Sierra[17th]: Time to rock and roll!
[17.06.2013 17:53:41] Wilde.Frevel: Death awaits.
[17.06.2013 17:53:41] CR|-Eagle[49th]: Here goes.
[17.06.2013 17:53:42] CR|-Sicarius[17th]: Colonials - Engage
[17.06.2013 17:53:45] Order|Finley.: fire at will
[17.06.2013 17:53:48] K'Hara|Nil'iji,: ***'This light' -Dances-...(Joy)***As you'll notice, an engagement followed. We, unfortunately, lost two Nyx craft, and despite downing twice that of their own, they kept on coming. The final blow was a "Marduk", too large for our small task force to take on, we retreated. Regrouping at sector D6, we finally pulled in capital support in the form of the Euryphaessa and Argo Thanatos cruisers.
Not far behind, the nomads had brought in their own extra firepower. No sign of the Marduk sighted at the gate, but two "Irra" nomads, plus snub support. From here, we were able to stage a proper defence. It wasn't long before the first "Irra" was downed, while our fighters wore down our counterparts. The remaining "Irra" was a sitting duck for two Thanatos, and with their cap support wasted, the remaining snubcraft were easy pickings.
Below are the kill records for the entire operation.

This is Sokolowski, commanding officer of Phobos, newly constructed Thanatos-class.
At beggining, some tactical data. Warship was equipped according to my prefferences as it was supposed to be my command after being re-introduced to ranks of our military. It houses 4 cerberus turrets and 8 solaris AA which as later proved is lethal even against hostile gunboats. Further extensions will include a docking bay for fighters - unique feature I personally requested to be implemented. While some of its secondary subsystems are not operational - including the hangar bay - performance in combat is at 100%
I have brought this vessel to wartorn system of Tau 23 sneakily from Saba shipyards. This... return to rocky wasteland brought back some memories as I have fought both new and old enemies. I have to report that I engaged and destroyed all enemy targets that I have encountered on first voyage flight of my cruiser.
From beggining, sensors picked up some contacts nearby Tau 31 jumpgate. Upon my arrival, those contacts were confirmed as Gallic trader with an escort of a GRP bomber. Knowing fully I was incapable of actually harming this trader vessel, I demanded it to drop all ore he was carrying anyway. As transport made its way to safety, I removed threat of Gallic corrupted police bomber as it was in my reach.
Second sortie happened with IMG requesting assistance against Outcasts ships of "all sizes". I do not think miners needed my assistance at all so I started to actively seek for any target of opportunity in Tau 37 which resulted in 3 confirmed ships sunk. Single Storta-class and two Tridente-class gunships were exterminated with extreme prejudice, giving real test to my weapons.
After area was declared all clear, Java defense wing called us in to destroy an... Corsair warship? While reasons for its presence is unknown, I have made sure it will pose no more threat to our operations in area. Data matched with Praefect-class cruisers employed mostly in Omega cluster.

Commander, Director,
A fine day to fly,
Fleet Officer Jacob Edwards
Reporting in from Sabah after a short repair and 'parade' of sorts. This one is for yourselves and the CIS you've assigned to me (or the other way around as they like to think). Attached is Sage's report after he came aboard.
Forming up with the Argo and some snubcraft support, the equal Nomad force soon came into range.
Although the battle was covered well with the Spyglass array, I must commend young Westridge on his disruption and scouting efforts. Seems he has picked up some strategic talent from his father.
Splitting their cruisers apart, they were shattered one after the other. The remaining ships were picked off by Jackson extremely well, given he was using a smaller razor.
In an unrelated report, while combat-testing the cruiser's weapons in the past, one of the Lance fell to our Razors. Along with how long these Irras lasted, it does appear to pack quite the punch.
Quote:Extracts from intelligence reports by Agent Sage
Some of the 'regular military' in the area will be able to report on the combat itself, but this report shall contain further details for those with access to it.
Alongside the Order, several of our pilots began analysis on the alien structure to the south of the Barrier cloud in Coronado. The earlier military operation involving the gate, albeit with much of the data lost along with the ships involved, does seem to have been correct concerning the activation and power of the gate. Linking to the Euryphaessa, I began a full scan of the gate which was almost interrupted by a Nomad and infected Rheinlander 'patrol' of sorts. One in particular seemed rather determined that I was on the wrong side, but I'd rather keep the incubi out of my mouth.

[17.06.2013 18:50:00] CR|-Sage[17th]: *centering himself, Sage remembers some of the techniques recommended*

[17.06.2013 18:50:45] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{A soft, angel like voice echoes in your mind. "But what are they laughing at?"}***
[17.06.2013 18:50:59] CR|-Sage[17th]: *grunts* That is quite the noise you are making.
[17.06.2013 18:51:27] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{When you turn your head to the side, you could see that they originate from your comrades.}***
[17.06.2013 18:51:42] CR|-Sage[17th]: Not that one doesn't get used to loud music with the 15th.
[17.06.2013 18:51:51] CR|-Sage[17th]: Unfortunately... it's the quiet ones with me...
[17.06.2013 18:52:26] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{You see their heads turning back and forth, their fingers pointing at you. "Seems like you don't know them at all."}***
[17.06.2013 18:52:49] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{You hear one of your comrades say "Just some cannon fodder", bringing another laugh from your wingmen.}***
[17.06.2013 18:53:45] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"Why are they laughing at you? Don't they have faith in you? What a pity .. "}***
[17.06.2013 18:53:56] CR|-Sage[17th]: Yes, everyone loves an agent.
[17.06.2013 18:54:07] CR|-Sage[17th]: A thick skin and a strong mind, they work well enough.
[17.06.2013 18:54:44] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"How thick will your skin be for that?", you see a bolt of energy suddenly launching towards you.}***
[17.06.2013 18:54:58] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{If you look towards its source, there's just one of your wingmen grinning and waving at you.}***
[17.06.2013 18:55:09] CR|-Sage[17th]: Tricks of the light eh? What of your "lights", your comrades?
[17.06.2013 18:55:29] CR|-Sage[17th]: How friendly is the mindshare after it was torn assunder?
[17.06.2013 18:56:20] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"You don't need them. Just as they don't need you. Tell me about your wishes, dear."}***
[17.06.2013 18:56:52] CR|-Sage[17th]: I wish to shut... you... out...
[17.06.2013 18:57:04] CR|-Sage[17th]: Jumping in

[17.06.2013 18:58:34] CR|-Sage[17th]: You think we have not learned in our time?
[17.06.2013 18:59:02] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{The pressure tightens, almost giving you headaches already.}***
[17.06.2013 18:59:28] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"Come to the light. To power. To the fulfillment of your dreams."}***
[17.06.2013 18:59:44] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"Existence without those fools stopping you."}***
[17.06.2013 18:59:58] CR|-Sage[17th]: I have lived in many sectors with them.
[17.06.2013 19:00:07] CR|-Sage[17th]: I would have turned long ago if I wished.
[17.06.2013 19:00:29] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{You once again hear the voices laughing at you, it's density becoming almost unbearable.}***
[17.06.2013 19:02:16] K'Hara|Tiamat': ***{"You will never achieve anything. Embrace the light and fight your comrades, those who make you weak."}***
[17.06.2013 19:06:09] CR|-Sage[17th]: Hmmm, target Tiamat.
Fortunately the techniques we were told by the Core and Order seem to work, although this Nomad appeared to be rather weak.
After the scan was complete, I returned to the Euryphaessa alongside Sentry and Prudence to keep track of the battle to come.
Agent Sage, ending report.
