I have an urgent update for the High Command and all the fellow Corsairs.
Very recently I was doing a regular patrol in Omicron Xi when I noticed that my nav computer malfunctions: locations of sevaral known anomalies were erased. Quite baffled by the behaviour of the mighty corsair piece of equipment I went to the last known location of the jump hole to Omicron Beta, and... It was gone. Instead, in the vicinity of the old anomaly location there was another one. Guess where it leads, amigos? To Omicron Alpha! The Outcast nest is now two jumps away from our beloved home of Crete. But that's not all. Let me go gradually, though.
Noticing this I decided to make a brief stop at the "Delos". There I met the dreadnought CNS-Exterminador, to whom I shared my discovery of the fact that Omicrons layout went wacko. The captain understood the importance, and asked one of his men, senor Cesar Gutierrez of The Brotherhood to make me a company on investigative mission.
So together we headed on: system by system.
It all went astray, hermanitos.
We soon figured out that Xi is now also directly connected to Delta, a system also full of parties not very friendly to us. In Delta, a new connection appeared to a new system, identified as Omicron Zeta. I don't know why, but this system looked familiar, but also new... Very weird. Apart from Order and Core presence (we have spotted at least two Core battleships), there's also a station of that Zoner faction, Outworlders.
One of the Zoners politely shared a location of anomaly known to him in this system, which was a link to Omicron Minor. Of course, we went further to investigate. And that destination gave us a rather unexpected and insightful interaction. As soon as we emerged on the other side of the jump hole, we were greeted by the captain of the Order OCV-Aleppo.
From the dialogue we had with the captain, I can conclude that this sudden rearrangement came as a surprise for the Order as well. But the most important part is that the captain of the Order vessel treated us if not as allies, but at least as some kind of... partners, at least potential. He disclosed this: according to the Order intel, the Core are cooperating with the Maltese. This is a very alarming fact, if true, especially considering what I will conclude in the end. But let me continue. It will get even more surprising.
The captain of the OCV-Aleppo gave us coordinates of yet another new anomaly in the system, which leads to a previously completely unknown system, Omicron Nu. When we entered it... Well, let these few shots speak more than a thousand words:
But apart from that, near a quite habitable planet there's a graveyard of the Liberty Navy ships. Quite alive Libertonian fighters met us in the system, but they were dealth with accordingly.
The most unsettling part is that there is a jump hole to... Alaska! So now Liberty has a direct access to Omicrons, as if we hadn't have enough adversaries already. Not only that, it appears Liberty found a way to build some kind of... Jump gate to connect such distant parts of space.
Unwilling to see ugly Libertonian tech even more, we went back to finish the investigation of the Omicron Minor. Since the beginning of our mission I kept wondering where is the access to the less-famous Omicron Chi. Well, now it is from the Minor! And the Chi itself... In the beginning I though that the tequila was funny, but no, it wasn't that. For you see, the Omicron Chi is flipped, transposed even! What was left now right, what was up is now down and vice versa. I know it sounds strange, but it is most certainly true.
The moon of planet Vanuatu has a visible artificial structure. I suspect there can be even more artifacts than on Knossos. No wonder there's Order presence now in the system.
But now Chi cannot be called a system close to us. It is connected to Omicron Beta and Omicron Psi - a squid-infested dead system. When we tried to look inside it, we almost could ran with our lives.
Being rather exhausted after a long flight through radiation and empty space with no tequila or tacos we decided to head back through Beta, hoping its connections are not too messed up. Luckily, the old nomad gate brought us to Knossos atmosphere as expected. From there we went back home. On the way I showed the new Alpha connection from Xi to hermano Gutierrez, so he could see it with his own eyes.
After that we returned home to Crete. Hermano Gutierrez swiftly prepared a report on our discoveries for The Brotherhood, and the rest of the Corsairs, I highly recommend reading it for a fuller picture.
I, however, after a brief rest, decided to have a closer look at our once cozy backyard of Omicron Xi. The last discovery is very alarming: not only Xi is now accessible directly from Malta, but also from Omicron Rho, a hotbed of the Core gringos! Now I must reiterate the warning we received from the Order: these two may be cooperating. And now they both are so close to our homes. I believe it is an utmost importance to set up larger defences in Xi. It won't be long till they start roaming around as they please. The Order captain mentioned that there is a possibility that they could cooperate with the Empire, given the circumstances. It is up to the High Command to decide now what to do, but current situation puts the Empire in an uncomfortable position between several major enemies of us. However, a lot of diplomacy must be done to somehow deal with the Order/Coalition and Order/Blood Dragons alliances. However, it's pretty evident with such amount of pests around our glorious empire we need a proper pest control.
After looking over what our members have done so far, I am pleased to announce that Rogelio Axiotis has been promoted to the rank of Primeiro-tenente. Keep up the good work.
As for everyone else keep working and you will be spotted for a promotion sometime as well.
The time has come to act. The Gas Miners Guild has been causing us many problems recently. They frequently attack our Artifact traderoutes to Gallia and Kusari. Now however, with the return of the battlegroup Barcelona, we have a opportunity to strike the Gas Miners in a strategical important location. I am talking about Planet Kurile, in SIgma-17. A only weakly defended Planet, which however is rich in water, aswell as microorganisms, which, according to Samura, are useful to raise fish.
The planet also will be used as a staging point for raids on the GMG supply lines. Those raids will provide us with H-Fuel and Helium ressources, which are essential to keep our millitary up and running.
I think our mission is clear: We will attack the Gas Miners Guild in full force, defeat the space and ground troops and take control of the planet.
This mission will be lead by our competent Primeiro-tenente Rogelio Axiotis.
Rogelio, this is your trial, so allow me to give you some proper informations: The Gas Miners Guild might know that we're coming, since the Barcelona was present in Sigma-17 for a few weeks. You have the Barcelona and her battlegroup are at your disposition. Be careful though, the Outcasts might interfere with our plans, as they always do. If that happens, seek aid at the local Cryer Outpost, Atka. We could of course handle the Outcasts ourselves, but they should not distract us from our main goal. Everything else is in your hands. The main assault is scheduled to begin in one week. Use this time to prepare a battleplan and gather your forces. Consult my if you need my guidance.
During a small raid within the outer Rheinland systems, we've found two small space stations which are harmful for our operations in the area. First, Ansbach Station in Munich. While Munich is falling into chaos, it is still a useful route into Rheinland, without bothering with the Outcasts and the Gas Miners in the Sigmas. However, it appears there has been an attempt to block off the tradelane network near Raubling Station. Said Ansbach Station has fired on our vessels. It appears to be rather newly contructed, so we better use the opportunity to get rid of it now.
The second installation is named Miningfactory Neuss. It is located in Frankfurt, right next to the valueable Aluminium deposits. This station makes it harder for us to catch miners and haulers off guard, which is bad for our business. So we will get rid of it.
Prepare your battlegroups, we will depart shortly.
So far, our operation in the Sigmas is going well. We have won the first major battles, and pushed the Maltese back. I will however wait for the final conclusions once we know more about the situation there.
Today, I have the honor of announcing the most recent promotions:
Cadete Severino Suárez has been promoted to the rank of Guarda-marinha.
Senhor Suàrez has shown dedication and loyality in his time in our rank. He has passed his trial and is now entitled to command gunboat vessels.
Primeiro-tenente Rogelio Axiotis has been granted command over the Battleship Posidão.
Senhor Axiotis has been a dedicated and loyal soldier for many months now. He has proven his strategical skills in the planning and execution of our recent campaign in Sigma-17. To test his skills even further, we have granted him the exception to command a Murmillo-class vessel. Furthermore, senhor Axiotis has been given the role of líder do esquadrão.
Capitão de Fragata Amparo Cortés has been promoted to the rank of Comodoro.
Senhorita Cortés has been a loyal soldier for a long time now. During her command of the Evora Monte she has lead the crew to countless victories. She has surpassed our highest expectations. Her bravery and skill are highly valued by the militar do império. Comodoro Cortés is hereby entitled to command fleets. She has been given the role of líder do esquadrão.
During my patrolling in Omicron XI, I found a installation in the heart of the system. We have not been informed about the construction of this base yet. Position of this base is stragetically critical.
IFF Responder only shows the base's name, Karamba station.
Navigation coordinates are: 3/4 - C
Lisboan patrol wing from The White Fleet reported that there are ladronas at our doors stealing our precious Xeno Relics. Not only they steal, but report also mentions that there is a instalación built within Knossos storing our goods. I gave order to our squadrons to blockade the planet within inside. These ladronas must be found and executed. Easiest way to dismantle this structure is to bring White Fleet flagship bombarding it to nill.
Joint squadron of The Brotherhood and Black Flag Corsairs came across a wing of elite Rheinland fighters in Munich by the hazardous nebula. As both side were preparing for a dogfight, we took the first step to fight.
When the attack started, one of The Brotherhood fighter was the target of Rheinlander fighters, Which he bought us time to deal with every one of them. As battle ended, we lost the honrado hermano but wiped the threat.
