I departed from Zhukovsky Station in a Saboteur type heavy fighter. Proceeding to the Omega-49 jump hole went smoothly.

---

---

Upon emerging from the jump hole I was immediately assaulted by bounty hunters, whom I destroyed. While I was engaging the bounty hunters, a Corsair patrol arrived, which I also destroyed. From there I proceeded to the Dublin jump hole.

---

---

Uneventful. Encountered small Corsair presence, but did not engage, allowing the local Mollys to deal with them.

---

---

Similarly uneventful. I encountered some single-fighter Gallic Royal Navy patrols, whom I evaded. I made partial use of the Arran Ice Cloud to elude further patrols.

---

---

I emerged from the jump hole into a firefight between the Gallic Royal Navy and some outcasts. I escaped in the chaos and proceeded to the Tau-23 jump hole.

---

---

When I entered Tau-23, I noted the nearby presence of a Gallic jump gate, and approached to get a closer look and scans for our intelligence database. Connecting the Languedoc jump gate and Indochine Outpost was a series of trade lane rings that were still under construction.


The outpost was unguarded by small craft, and so I seized the opportunity to strike their weapons platforms and their storage depots. I destroyed two weapons platforms and all of their storage tanks, which I believe will disrupt their operations in the area for the immediate future. My fightercraft sustained minor damage.


En route to the Tau-37 jump hole, I encountered the Battleship Guillestre, which I gave a wide berth. My craft was undamaged.

---

---

Uneventful.

---

---

In the Omicron Tau system, I charted much of the system, first taking reconnaissance of Genoa Base and the nearby planets.


Upon approaching Venice Shipyard I noted the presence of a weapons platform, which I struck swiftly and destroyed. I also noted a capital ship stationed nearby--seemingly some sort of prototype light carrier. I took a scan before fleeing the area, as the Outcasts by then had noticed my presence. I fled to the nearby Alcara Shipping Depot, operated by Junkers. They were willing to allow me to dock for repairs and resupply. While in the area I took a survey scan of the nearby Planet Soledad. I docked with Alcara Shipping Depot with a mission elapsed time of 31 minutes and 40 seconds.


Upon repairing the superficial damage to my craft's hull, I launched to space again. I took a scan of the nearby moon, then proceeded to Omicron Alpha.

---

---

I kept a wide berth of Planet Malta and Valetta Shipyard as I approached the wreck of the Hispania, as I didn't want to draw attention to myself. The interior of the wreck was open to space, and large enough that I could pilot my craft inside it.


I chose a spot in the cryogenics section toward the aft of the derelict to leave my mark. I opened the hatch to my cockpit and went on EVA to cut my message into the metal of one of the cryopods. Primary directive was achieved at mission elapsed time 40 minutes and 54 seconds.


By the time I had completed my objective, a patrol had been sent following my ship's signature, and they were circling the Hispania. I started charging cruise engines inside the wreck and by the time I emerged they were almost fully charged. I emerged without collision with the derelict, leaving it unharmed, and from there I fled the Outcasts and proceeded to Omicron Beta, striking and destroying a weapons platform on my way.

---

---

Another weapons platform was present on the other side of the Omicron Alpha jump hole, which I destroyed. As I proceeded through the nebula, my scanners picked up the wreck of a vessel called the Hosho Maru, which I initially intended to investigate, though I ultimately deemed it unnecessary to the mission.


En route to the Sigma-19 jump hole, I found what appeared to be an Outcast research facility, and I approached it, intending to strike at its weapons platforms. I met some resistance in the form of strike craft patrols, but I dispatched them easily. However, the weapons platforms were much more durable than initially anticipated, as even nuclear mines could not penetrate their armor. I decided that it was too risky to continue and withdrew from the engagement.

---

---

I immediately came across an Outcast convoy, which I intended to intercept, but the freighter jumped before I could open fire. I decided to continue without engaging further craft.

---

---

In Sigma-13 I encountered another Outcast convoy. This time, I managed to rout their freighters, and prevented them from escaping, destroying both. En route to the Frankfurt jump hole, I passed by a trade lane, which I struck and disrupted, intending to delay House shipping.


There was a pocket of explosive gas between the lane and the jump hole, and my autopilot was not sufficient to avoid detonating a cluster of it, but once I took manual control there were no further incidents.

---

---

I didn't strike House targets of opportunity in Rheinland, as the threat of House police reprisal was too high. I did some reconnaissance, however, and found security to be very high--a border control cruiser was stationed at one of the nearby stations. Still, I struck one of the trade lanes, before crossing the system to the New Berlin jump hole.

---

---

In New Berlin I encountered a battlecruiser in the course of my journey to the Hamburg jump hole, further proof that security within Rheinland is very high at the moment. I encountered a radioactive zone before the jump hole and gave it a wide berth.

---

---

Encountered some hostile Unioners.

---

---

In the Cologne system I passed very close by a Unioner base, and noted the presence of weapons platforms and supply depots, which I proceeded to strike against and destroy on my way to Weisenberg Research Station.


I took a scan of Planet Steinfurt and its moon Herne on my way to Weisenberg, before proceeding to dock at mission elapsed time 1 hour, 20 minutes and 43 seconds. Once I had acquired the Falchion type very heavy fighter, and activated the Saboteur's self-termination protocols, I proceeded to the Omega-54 jump hole.

---

---

Uneventful. Proceeded to Omega-2 without incident. Small Unioner and Bounty Hunter presence.

---

---

Emerged from the jump hole within the star's protoplanetary disk to find two bounty hunters engaged in a losing battle with our Red Hessian allies. The jump hole was concealed within a pocket of volatile gas, but it posed no obstacle.

---

---

Uneventful. Small Corsair presence. Came across a patrol of our comrades in the field.

---

---

Significant Corsair presence outside the jump hole, though I eluded them and quickly made my way back to New Moscow.

---

---

I safely returned to the Star City at mission elapsed time 1 hour, 40 minutes and 54 seconds, and officially marked the mission complete at 1 hour, 41 minutes and 11 seconds. I returned with six Outcast prisoners and one Bounty Hunter, whom I immediately turned over to the Commissary.

---

---

I completed the primary objective at a rate of 70.52% time efficiency, and in addition to accomplishing the primary directive I have also accomplished the following:

• 2 Bounty Hunter strike craft destroyed, 1 pilot captured
  
• 3 Corsair strike craft destroyed
  
• 4 Outcast strike craft destroyed, all pilots captured
  
• 2 Outcast freighters destroyed, all pilots captured
  
• 2 Gallic Royal Navy weapons platforms destroyed
  
• 5 Gallic Metal Service storage depots destroyed
  
• 3 Outcast weapons platforms destroyed
  
• 1 prototype Outcast carrier scanned
  
• 2 Unioner weapons platforms destroyed
  
• 2 Unioner storage depots destroyed
  
• 6 planetary bodies surveyed
  

I feel that I have accomplished a number of secondary objectives satisfactory to make this mission's time well spent. Doing so in addition to the primary objective was 41.04% more time efficient than conducting another mission to accomplish the same objectives.

Glory to the Coalition. Do svidaniya.
