Like agreed on by the representative of the Order, this secure N.N.-channel has been created to handle any further negotiations, exchanges and reports between The Order Primary fleet and the Lane Hackers.
The Order is to take the first step and inform us about their exact needs/demands and offers, which (as discussed already) can range from intel services and exchanges to cargo deliveries.
As said and promised, here is our report on star system Oita.
Quote:
Ellesmere: E-F 6
High concetration of LSF patrols, aggresive agaisnt anything that comes nearby this jumphole. Patrols deployed to prevent IND, KNF or other parties from reaching exclusive LSF restricted space.
Illinois: B 7
Known headquarters of LPI being the only access point for IND employees in this system.
Hiroshima: C 3
Presence of KNF guarding jumphole leading into restricted Kusari space.
Wall Street station: D 6-7
Together with unnamed shipyard of Renzu corporation (tasked with production of new Shukensha liner) it is pressumed IND headquarters orbiting planet Nobeoka. Scans indicate no ressources or anomalies worth of interest.
In return, we are interested in reason for increased Liberty forces activity within underdeveloped chain of systems starting from Minnesota to Bremen in Rheinland. We are aware that it has to do something with research facility located there. Whatever it is about, we suspect it may be true reason behind war through there is no solid evidence to confirm importance of it. Nonetheless we are interested in details concerning said outpost which may give some light on Rheinland-Liberty war. Last time we observed it, station had multiple static defences including minefield pressumably deployed to counter Navy skirmishers from neighbouring star system New Hampshire.
There is also yet another new occurence, reports say about new restricted zone located in Texas star system, with fully sized and functional minefield protected by part of Texas fleet. Jumpgate spotted on visual scans is similarly defended like the one in Zone-21. System laying beyond that jump gate may yet again hide something house of Liberty wants to remain hidden from everyone else.
The mentioned Jumpgate and the surrounding mine field are the first line of defense for a 'secret', navy-controlled system called 'Virginia'; I've read through the LH~ Archives and found files, which will match your expectations.
The following extracts of report created by a trusted Lane Hacker will include any information on the system beyond the Jumpgate.
During the first phase of reconnaissance in Virginia, using search pattern Epsilon, two planets, one gas giant (P1) and one possibly habitable planet (P2) surrounded by a minefield, were discovered. Besides the planets, a dense particle cloud in sectors A-D/6-7 containing a jumphole to Kansas system surrounded by a minefield and ice field in sectors A-C/1-3 containing a jumphole to California system, were found. Both jumpholes were heavily guarded by three battle-cruisers in total. No other hostile contacts or installations were encountered.
During the second phase of reconnaissance in Virginia, using search pattern Pi, two additional planets, one barren but possibly habitable planet with a breathable atmosphere (P3) orbited by a military base (B2) and four weapon platforms, and one volcanic world most likely unsuitable for terraforming (P4), were discovered. Besides the planets, a dense dark matter cloud in sectors F-G/1-3 containing an installation built around unidentified electromagnetic anomaly, possibly a research station (B1) was found. Further investigation of the surroundings of the planet discovered in first phase of the mission (P2) allowed to reveal a large military installation orbiting the planet, most likely a shipyard (B3). The only way to the planet and the shipyard leads through a narrow passage in the minefield, which is guarded by ten weapon platforms and four battle-cruisers. Besides these installations, a jumpgate leading to Texas system (JG), guarded by a battleship (B4) and two battle-cruisers, is located at sector E/2-3. These three major installations, the jumpgate (JG), military base (B2) and shipyard (B3) are connected by a fully operational trade lane network.
An operation in order to collect intel on the events within Bremen system, as well as it's current status is already ongoing; expect to hear from me about it soon.
The station currently consists of a Docking port, several closed-off station modules as well as a Biodome, which might indicate research on lifeforms (unconfirmed).
A dense minefield surrounds the installation and currently there is only one known entrance for it (pos in Vis.Files).
Furthermore Munster R.F. orbits the Planet Osnabruck, however, no direct connection to the activities within the station and the Planet seem to exist.
The entrances to the system (from NH side) is guarded by the BS Westphalia, but there is also an unguarded JH to the Hamburg system.
The whole system is swarmed by heavily armed Military fighter patrols, the nebula in the east of the system shows Bundschuh activity, too.
As wrecks in the vicinity of the system indicate, there have been several battles between Rheinland Military, Liberty Navy as well as Bundschuh forces. (The Bundschuh might know more about the Military activities within Bremen).
-----
Also, the offer of logistical exchanges between the Order| and the Lane Hackers, of course, still stands. Additional supplies for the Order can be transported to the Omicrons by the L.H. Smuggling Ring.
Possible exchange point can be the Zoner Base in Omicron Delta or any Order Station.
