ALCON,

I’m happy to report Judicator class cruiser Endeavor has achieved partial operational status. We’ve commenced testing of primary drive systems and reliability tests of the primary drum.

The Eryri has completed the last of the send-off of deceased Commonwealth personnel, thanks in part to Powhatan providing personnel to fully recover all personnel. Powhatan is remaining on standby should any engineering problems arise which we can’t repair on station.

My current recommendations are contacting the Rheinland Government for permission to travel through their systems and bringing the vessel in to Bristol Bay Station for study and possible continued repairs. I have strong confidence as the vessel’s damage was not as complete as first appeared, though the decontamination procedures would be extensive.

I will keep the Board apprised of the ongoing situation.

Hey there,

Pulled an aluminum haul out of Sigma-15, bound for Pennsylvania. Ended up running into a ******* LIGHT CARRIER packed FULL of LIBERTY ROGUES in Texas, goes by the name Concussive Contribution.

Lucky for us, no trouble broke out - at least not yet. Seems they’ve got their eyes on some weapons coming out of Akutan. Their captain answers to Katt Williams.

Could we make our transports a bit safer if we will have "friends" like these?


Cheers,

ALCON,

I am pleased to report Endeavor has been brought to the Bering system successfully, following communications with the Rheinland Government and Navy to facilitate its transit through their house systems. I am pleased to further report that work is underway to bring the vessel into full operational capability to support security and mining efforts within Galileo.

The anticipated work to perform this is, however, extensive. Hangar damage has been patched but a large amount of work will be needed before pressurization tests can commence and, following that, the mounting of internal equipment for craft handling will need to be completed. In addition, the vast majority of the fuel tanks aboard have either failed pressurization tests or have had the metal linings broken off due to shock damage, rendering them unsuitable. A full replacement is, at this time, recommended. The majority of interior spaces will need a partial reconstruction due to splinter damage. Lastly, initial reports are that the mounting points for armament on the aft engineering drum section are unsuitable for that use due to combat damage.

I will keep the Board apprised of the ongoing situation.

Hallo, lads—Leopold here.

Ach, these “vacations” are turning out quite fruitful, ja. The run down to the Omegas was… something. Aside from a few Corsair snouts on the scopes, we went through unimpeded in the Phoenix Bulwark.

I should be back in a jiffy, though. Their installations are chewing through platinum just fine after a few tweaks from our engineers. Ours at Arcetri, now those are a proper work of art,process it more efficient by a fair stretch.

About the platinum source: they offered us a Hegemon so the crew could bite into all that ore. It’s a long, dangerous haul to get there; without an escort you’re toast—too many navigational hazards for an old man’s nerves.
But once you arrive… ach, what a sight. I’ve attached some pictures. The ore is venting straight out of a cracked planetary core. Better quality than what we see in Galileo, that’s for sure.
The stuff isn’t tainted by radiation, but it’s mixed with a whole basket of other metals, so the overall yield suffers. Our tests on the vein came back:

Ore composition

• Osmium: 9.1%
  
• Platinum: 20.2%
  
• Gold: 21.3%
  
• Iron: 23.7%
  
• Silver: 25.4%
  

Plenty in there—makes their refinery versatile, but not exactly fine-tuned, you know? Good for local use, ja, but it won’t threaten our operation in Galileo.

I’ll head back as soon as they commission a new Bulwark. Some of the team want to linger, “check a few more things.” Heh. I’d wager they just want to enjoy those twin suns in Omega-55 a little longer.

Can’t blame them—it’s a pretty view. Still, a bit too risky for my taste. I’m itching to crack real rock in the dark again.

Some Picture!

• Omega-55 Entrance. In a radioactive lava-field worse that Galielo can you believe it ?
  
• Omega-43
  
• Omega-2
  
• Omega-97, and I though the omega 55 was the most radioactive one. This nubian field, it's something...
  
• A Nubian field gravitational anomaly. Suck you in as fast as DSE suck our platinum!
  
• The mighty black hole! What a sight.
  
• And finally the mining zone, planet Freyja!
