Into the Abyss - vladimir26 - 11-29-2022


INCOMING TRANSMISSION


Identification: Ernest Miles
Location: Omicron Nu


Desperate times call for desperate measures



That's how you could sum up the life of an Insurgency captain. Being hunted relentlessly by the Liberty Navy with the sole purpose of wiping us entirely, both military and civilian population, because we dared to stand up for our beliefs in justice and democracy. The history is written by the winner, so each and every one of us must be silenced forever, so Liberty can say we were indeed terrorists, fanatics, and no one can say otherwise. We could have fought to the end, to the last man standing, but the truth would had been lost with us.



For this reason, we took a gamble and agreed to meet the Corsairs to discuss their offer of asylum. Shortly after the 1st| Armada's attempt to destroy us was thwarted, a Deterrence vessel appeared, the DTR-CNS>Cimitarra, escorted by a pilot that goes by the name Gonzales. Myself and my fellow captains, Spire, Armstrong and Smith, engaged in tratatives, voicing our concerns of not being used as a mercenary force by the Corsairs, or worse. It's obvious that their offer doesn't comes for free and out of good will. We can take advantage of the situation, pursue our own goals of finding a safe haven for ourselves and the civilians we managed to evacuate and start anew, far away from the corrupted houses. I'm aware this isn't the optimal place for this, but our choices are very limited.

After a brief round of tratatives and handout of medical supplies for the injured we departed for our final destination with the Cimitarra taking point and Gonzales in tow. The only comforting thought is that we aren't helpless. Even damaged, our fleet can still deliver a devastating blow to any aggressor. The 1st|Armada can confirm, as they sent instead one of their drones to follow us from a safe distance. Liberty surely is interested about our whereabouts, and will do everything to silence us.

RE: Into the Abyss - 9th.Legion - 12-03-2022

This is cpt. Erwin Smith of Battlecruiser [IN]-Excommunicado speaking!

We have successfully arrived in Omicron Minor from Omicron Nu’s jump hole and we are continuing our passage alongside our fellow Corsair friend DTR-CNS>Cimitarra and his comrades to their Home world with full speed, heading towards the unknown for the sake of our people, in desperate need of protection and shelter, until then, we cannot afford to stop even for a minute ! Remembering the beauty of Omicron Minor, the home world of The Orders and comparing its conditions now, it should motivate us all to unite as one, a force fighting against Evil.

These memories of Planet Toledo and its perfect condition, the times when my little brother sgt. Andrew Smith was still alive and kicking, that tricky brain brings back memories, filled with a lot of joy in seeing his smile, hearing his voice and the way he laughs with his crew members, but since the Nomads invasion of Minor, my brother was declared M.I.A. and from that moment, everything turned into high radiating clouds, shipwrecks, dust and somewhere in-between, Andrew’s ship and crew lays lifeless and undiscovered… He was still too young to die, may he at least suffered a painless death, with all these hopes, once we meet in Valhalla, we will bask in good and fine ale while sharing our life stories – either sad or happy. There is possibility, that he might be alive, that I’ll have another chance in seeing his smile, that I’ll hear his warm voice, but after all, it’s just my lonely hopes in something almost impossible to happen.

Anyways, there it is, traveling through old memories, with a ship carrying a huge load of innocent civilians seeking shelter and protection, through a very old and destroyed system, there was this scary and eerie feeling of unsettling anger. Even only passing through the current state of Planet Toledo, seemed horrific and devastating at the same time, the planet probably has zero chance of rebuilding any type of life form, with these high levels of radiation, obviously uninhabitable for humans. That devastated orbital space, called “Toledo Graveyard”, filled with The Core and The Order shipwrecks, among all of them, one in particular got my attention. The ship wreck of Battleship Isis, Andrew and his crew were serving the captain of the Isis, following all commands during their last stand at Planet Toledo, buying time for the retreating Order forces, my brother probably gave these aliens hell of a fight. But there was something else in this eerie place, right behind Toledo, an unidentifiable vessel, surrounded in clouds, dust and rock formations, it was like a “Ghost ship”, but still operating at its full power, whatever that vessel was, now it’s far behind the engines.
As an Ex-Insurgency soldier, still remembering the duties, in such hard times - we have to help each other to survive, the hospitality of Deterrence is quite generous towards us, we don’t know them and they don’t know us, but still they decided to give us a hand, so we can survive, so we can feel safe and feel at HOME. Many have labeled Deterrence as a very arrogant and mean organization, but Deterrence seemed to be otherwise of what others have said, may the Gods keep it that way. For now the main purpose, is to bring all these people to safety, to let them have a brighter future and more reasons to never give up. Looking at it in a different way, Deterrence represents itself to be a big and helpful organization with many opportunities for all of us, let’s just hope that we will get the chance to prove our loyalty and show them our best !

Diary of Captain Spire of the Amphion vessel
Location:Omicron Rho
Our combined fleet of Corsairs and Insurgency vessels reached Omicron Rho. There was a big ancient structure on our way in, not sure how long has it been here. I guess aliens present is lurking somewhere in the corners. As I understood from the Corsairs captains, this system is occupied mostly of Core vessels. Have not heard much of them, only rumors that they have used the The Order versus Nomads battle in the lost of Toledo to make a win situation over The Order and that the Nomads posses advanced technology never seen before. This crew always loved the challenge, so we may face them some day in a glorious battle as the The Order, defenders of humanity did. There was a long way to our next point that was Omicron XI and it is Corsair Empire territory. We moved together the whole time as one, with Detterence captains taking the lead. The system seemed very dead while we were passing.



It was a good trip through that system without any emergencies, we always prepare for the worst, we have seen it already in many battles. We passed the Core shipyard called Alabama near planet Rio and we reached the Omicron XI jump hole. Our jorney continued in Omicron XI system.
Fire and Fury,

Spire out

OMICRON GAMMA, ORBIT OF PLANET CRETE


RECORD START


Tavros' log. Append. The escort of the insurgent ships was a success. No major incidents along the planned route. Everyone seems to be accounted for, and the medical staff is already treating the injured. The engineering crews are assessing damage and planning for the start of repairs. All according as planned.

On the first encounter, back in Omicron Nu, They seemed cooperative as expected. The captains didn't have much of a choice. It's either join under the shadow of the empire, or be killed like cornered animals back in Liberty. Glad to confirm they're as smart as I thought.

Their fleet consists of several capital ships, worn out by combat and lack of repair. Their crew is mixed with civilians and military personnel. Most of them too unfit to serve the empire because of their injuries or psychological effects. This is where our capable medical staff comes in. Our contacts around the border worlds and the houses should provide the necessary medical equipment and medicine. I am not particularly worried about their health. The people of planet Veracruz has endured for long, and I expect them to endure this transition, too.

I, personally, am eager to see what those insurgents have to offer. Lead technical engineer of the company, Cisseus, shares my eagerness to reverse engineer operating liberty technology and integrate to our own. Any advantages to our combat fleets is welcome.

I watch closely their actions within their empire. The successful assimilation is crucial for the success of this operation. I intend for this process to be as smooth as possible, with the help of the Executor, if necessary.

RECORD END



RE: Into the Abyss - Arcana - 07-28-2023

This is captain Spire of battlecruiser vessel Amphion.

We would like to thank you for letting us stay in your home system and planet Crete.

Our crew is happy for the help provided from he Deterrence fleet. As we are warriors like you, me and my crew would like to continue our cooperation and have a meeting at Deterrence Sanctrum to get to know each other better and exchange knowledge. Our battlecruiser needs further repairs to continue operating.

We would like to offer our help to defend your people against any threat that arise. Our crew has had many battles and we are always eager to fight for a good cause. All we ask for is for further repairs and possible new equipment and food. Then we can start operating in your systems and protect them from enemy incursions. As far as we know you have many enemies and the main ones are Outcasts, Core, Nomads and Hessians. Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life. Only in death does duty end.

Let justice and fury be our voice.

Spire out.
