Greetings IMG, this is Executor Walter Sobchak. I am transmitting some evidence from our most recent operations inside Tau space. So far everything is going smooth, we're staying on the safe side whenever we can, not overextending our forces, and we're expanding our patrol network everyday. The rocks are starting to feel familiar again. It's good to be home.

This person decided to interrupt my conversation with a Brigand, and engaged me yesterday. He ran into my SNAC.

These people thought they can remove a Thresher when i'm in command, and they ran into an Antimatter Cannon.


And this guy thought he can handle a Razornose.


Amateurs...

Targets: Outcast Sabre Adriano.Celentano; Outcast Sabre [XTF]-Arkantos-; Outcast Falcata Moonwalker; Outcast Falcata Prince_Igor_Ghost; Mercenary Eagle MM~Sebastian.Rodriguez; Mercenary (bomber) MM~Voncloud; Outcast Falcata Roxy;

Greetings, Protector Vityaz Hunt here. Here's the field report for the last few days. Fighting wasn't too intense... but outcasts definetly do not wish to live peacefully.





Answered the Java emergency call, at nigh. Had to wake up the whole crew. Although, when that Ranseur was half-dead, Council battleship came in and finished him off... well, less fuel spent for us.



Targets: Outcast tridente gunships Ravnos , Andres_Perea, "Ranseur" Outcast Dreadnought Omsk

Greetings, Protector Vityaz Hunt here. I'm here to report about latest EDGE operations in Tau 23.
Well, let me begin.


First, a Cardamine smuggling junker vessel. He was a good runner, pursuit was so long, that Executive Walter ended up outside the dense Tau 23 asteroid field... nevertheless, the contraband was intercepted and destroyed.


For this one I have only guncams, and can't provide a more detailed report on the situation... but well, guncams speak for themselves.



This is what happened yesterday. We've answered an emergency call that Outcast dreadnought, callsign Orellion, entered Tau 23 system. Unfortunately, we weren't able to succesfully intercept him, and he escaped to the Alpha cloud... just to come back a little later with Outcast swarm.
We and Colonials organised a defense force. Not many sniffers returned to their homes this time.







Continue.....

Part 2.









Eliminated vessels: Junker salvage Frigate (Cardamine) The_Raven's_D'light, Outcast bomber The_Outcast, Outcast "Tridente" gunships Provokator, Two_Wolves[GB], Outcast "Storta" destroyer Swift.Winds, Outcast Ranseur dreadnoughts Orelion and David_Baker

** CONNECTION ESTABLISHED SUCCESSFULLY **

Greetings, Protector Vityaz Hunt here.
Over the last few days there were multiple reports of an outcast capital-class ship attacking Kusari Naval vessels ( Mostly capital ships) in the Holman outpost area. We were trying to track him down and eliminate, but until today we did not succeed. Our EDG and IMG carrier SeaOfSilence2 answered Holmann emergency call, when that dreadnought appeared on their scanners.
Also, I should mention that this ship apparently had an advanced countermeasure technology, since our cruise disrupters (of Reinforced class) were mostly useless, even from point blank distances. This way he was able to reach Tau 23 system. Nevertheless, we were able to destroy him before he moored to that impenetrable rock of theirs.
I feel obliged to mention that without IMG carrier support, callsign "SeaOfSilence2", this operation would have very slim chances of success.



Vessels eliminated: Outcast "Ranseur" dreadnought MNS-Monty

P.S.: I'm in no position to give any official responses, but I'd like to express my personal gratitude for a high appreciation of our efforts to make Taus a safer place. Vityaz over and out.
