Hello, Deterrence Leadership. My name is Albert McKenzie, lead of the Starfliers.

Reading over older logs, I have been informed of a time when one of your pilots taught us how to strip Baxter Anomalies. We would like to make more frequent trips to that same Anomaly Site for further observation and research. It has been years since you taught us this process and we have since perfected the probing scanner.

In the near future we are going to bring our biggest asset into the system, the Research Liner Sol. Asking ahead to ensure my crew's safety, will you have a problem with the Starfliers residing within the Omega Border Worlds?

McKenzie,

Your name isn’t one I recognize, but I do recall the Starfliers' past dealings with us. I’ve gone over the reports from the last time your people were in Omega-11, and I know Halpert Kennedy was the one who liaised with our forces back then. If you’ve taken up the mantle now, I’ll assume you’re familiar with what your predecessors worked on and the risks involved in operating out here.

Omega-11 is no safe haven. Between the constant radiation storms, unpredictable anomalies, and the ever-present threat of Hessian raiders, even the most well-equipped vessels have met their end here. If you intend to bring the Sol into the system, you’d best ensure it can handle more than just scientific instruments.

Deterrence does not hinder research that does not interfere with our operations, but make no mistake—we do not extend protection freely. If your vessel attracts the wrong kind of attention, it is your responsibility to handle it. That said, should you require additional security to ensure your work proceeds undisturbed, we may be open to negotiating terms—provided, of course, that such an arrangement proves beneficial to us.

Two of our own Corvo-class research vessels, the CRV-Posidonius and the CRV-Niebla-Estellar, are already active in anomaly studies within the region. The Posidonius has been refining its sensor arrays to improve anomaly mapping, while the Niebla-Estellar continues its research into high-energy field interactions. If your research has yielded advancements in probing scanner technology, we would be interested in evaluating its merits. Likewise, if our findings can be of use to you, we may find room for cooperation—so long as it aligns with our objectives.

If you still intend to proceed, ensure your operations remain transparent to us. Any unexpected activity in Omega-11 will be met with scrutiny. We will be watching.

Hello, Jorge.

Understood. If we take that final step and setup the Sol and our equipment within Omega-11, is it up to us to handle any undesirables.

We have charted the system before making our way to Rheinland and have found a suitable position for our research liner. We have relied so long on sending ships out into the far reaches of space for research and exploratory purposes. I believe now we need to start taking calculates risks. Take measures to enable further exploratory prowess.

We are not interested in any other element of Omega-11 outside of the Anomaly Site. This should give you enough confirmation that our activities will not disrupt your own operations.

I do have a request to make, though. Entirely unrelated. If your warships see any vessels or staff identifying as Starlight Research Consortium within the Omicrons, please do spare them. We have a close working relationship and I'd rather not hear about the loss of more Zoners.

McKenzie,

It is not often that outsiders seek to tread the burning ruins of Omega-11, let alone for reasons that do not involve scavenging the dead. I acknowledge your intentions, and I trust that you understand the gravity of the risk you are taking. The system is far from a safe haven—it is a hunting ground, one where the unwary and the unprepared meet swift ends.

If your business remains solely with the Anomaly Site and does not interfere with our interests, then there is no need for friction. However, I will not offer empty assurances. The region is contested, and the Hessians infest it like vermin. No Corsair vessel will risk itself needlessly for a foreign ship that chooses to linger in such a place. Whatever fate befalls you there, you must be prepared to face it.

As for your request regarding the Starlight Research Consortium—so long as they do not step where they should not, we have no reason to concern ourselves with them. But understand this: the Omicrons are not a place of mercy. We guard what is ours, and those who trespass will not find us forgiving. If your allies are wise, they will tread carefully.

May your research be worth the danger you invite upon yourselves.

As our founder has always said, Godspeed. I believe we will need it.
