Watching idiots getting their own ass handed to them by a smaller but more dedicated outfit brings a smile to my face. For administrative purposes, I had been informed that transfer and transaction had been successful and I consider this matter closed. At bare minimum I owe you to announce that The Order declared war on Insurgency. I was happy shooting Nomads, but they asked for it.

Good hunting, admiral. We've been at odds with the Legion and its successors for a while now. If anything, this just expedites our efforts to cauterize the tumor that is their continued existence.

Admiral.
For whatever reason, the OCV-Shezmu was ensnared in New York today in the Jersey Field by a mixture of Naval, Police and assorted mercenaries. The officer leading the forces holding it at gunpoint ordered for it to be destroyed, and given my limited ability to sink warships in an Eagle, I improvised.
I would like to state explicitly that what I had to do wasn't pleasant. But I put myself between the Shezmu and the salvos of plasma coming after it. My radically vocal IFF signature along with generous countermeasure dumps sufficiently scrambled the targeting solutions of the warship trying to kill your people. This was reliable enough that the pursuing force abandoned pursuit, along with the continued hindrance of the Jersey field acting as a barrier. At any given point, a stray beam many times the size of my ship could have hit me dead center. But since that didn't happen despite the morbidly high probability, the ship, its crew and even myself can live to tell the tale.
I was in the area this time, I might not always be. It would be a better use of resources if your men were more cautious and delegated localized operations to my people instead.

Whoever this concerns.
The Alliance has recently had a spree of good fortunes, enough to generate an adequate amount of fortune to upgrade the roster of ships currently in service. Something we're looking to phase out ASAP is one Pilgrim-class liner serving as our long distance transport vessel, it makes a regular trip between Akabat and our HQ.
Being as old as it is the ship's capabilities for a cause like ours are quite limited, and I would honestly prefer replacing it with something that offers more tactical flexibility. I'm told the Overwatch is capable of producing Bison class transport ships, and if you are willing to set one aside for the Alliance, we will pay for the production of said ship.

Re: A World Of Iron Oxide
Good morning, Cobra. Perhaps, it's our first contact with each other but I've met your people during our operations in the Liberty and borders. I am Starfire, Commodore in the Order Overwatch, responsible for war theater in Omicron space against Nomads and the Core.
Your request to get one of our "Bison" transports has been approved and your men can pick it up in the coming days from Cairo Station in Omicron Zeta. Serial numbers and manuals are protected with one-time password that must be changed once you get access to the vessel.
With regards,
Agent Starfire
