Tonight while returning from patrol in Omicron Epsilon, we received a distress signal from a Legacy of Orillion Vessel, the Ubaste, which had been escorting two AI ships out of the system when they turned on it and opened fire. The Leontopolis was rerouted to the scene of the engagement at the Omicron Minor jump point, and aided the Ubaste in destroying one of the AI vessels - cruiser class. The second vessel, a drone, fled and managed to escape after its companion was elimintated.

Today the Leontopolis was called to aid a Legacy of Orillion vessel, the Khonsu, in Omega-49. A Bretonian Armed Forces Battleship, the HMS Thunderer, along with a snub craft were involved in aggressive actions towards the locals.
Upon arrival, the Khonsu was presenting an ultimatum to the Bretonian forces to leave the system and cease hostilities. After destroying a freelancer, the Bretonian ships engaged in pursuit and attack of both the Khonsu and the Leontopolis, and shortly thereafter a second battleship - the HMS Conclusive - joined them in the battle. Unfortunately, this was a defeat for us, as two battleships were able to overpower our vessels and both the Khonsu and Leontopolis suffered heavy damage.

It amazes me how many forces Bretonia is willing to deploy into a neutral system when an invading fleet is already beyond their doorstep. I suggest moving additional assets to Omega-49 to aid the Zoners in repelling this tasteless and desperate invasion.

After considerable time spent guarding the gathered materials from my patrols, as well as the derelict nomad artifacts, arrangements were finally complete to facilitate a guarded escort to Fort Catharge from the Thebes. The mission was a success. The extensive arsenal and artifacts have been turned in for further examination, potentially for future field use.
To speak frankly, the men on the Thebes were getting uneasy knowing Nomad artifacts were in the cargo hold, hopefully they'll be able to find some useful information or at the very least be able to dispose of them without causing any problems.
Now that the items have been transfered I'll be taking up some missions at the Thebes to help out the crew as a thank you for their patience. Those Nomads aren't going to kill themselves. Heh, if only one of those artifacts could make that happen huh?

Hail Overwatch.
I am reporting in after succesfully arriving on Lanzarote Station in the Omega 49 system undetected in my Nephthys.
The Zoners situation is precarious at best, some desire to fight while others want to maintain their neutrality even in the light of recent developments.
The Bretonian presence so far seems limited to a battleship in the north western quadrant of the system, it would stand to reason that any assault from their side will be launched from this vessel. The relatively close location of the Dublin and Poole jump holes further strengthen this theory, giving Bretonia easy access to further reinforce their frontline.
During my stay here I will do what I can to enforce the Zoner independence where needed and reach out to our local allies to facilitate further assistance.
Perhaps I'll even be able to discover what could have possibly posessed Bretonia to launch an assault on their independant neighbors while their Galic enemies are right at their doorstep, though I remain doubtful I'll find any valid strategic sense.
Attached is an initial run by the planet while cloaked to assess the current situation.
Rank:Commander Security level:Low Report topic:Destruction of a Core light fighter; Possible infection of WKB-Midgard Description of events:
Lieutenant Riemann reporting from Dabadoru Station, Omicron Delta. After having trespassed the Omicron Rho system, I encountered a Core Wahoo which seemed to be heading the very same way. We more or less greeted each other without further hostile intentions.
Shortly after, two Commune vessels entered the system, the Core pilot offered joint forces to defeat the vessels before him and I would probably open fire at each other.
[17.01.2019 19:21:39] Core|Archer: Order pilot. look, lets be honest at some point you and I are going to tear each other apart.
[17.01.2019 19:21:49] Core|Archer: But how about we deal with these two jokers first?
The Commune ships split up and the Core pilot tried to chase a certain Cortana Clark, who fled into the Palau Ice Cloud. He considered the situation dealt with and we ended up in a fight which I quickly ended in my favor.
[17.01.2019 19:29:52] Death: Core|Archer was put out of action by Order|Rote.Zora (Mine).
After this incident, I encountered a "Heimdall"-class Hessian gunboat. I asked about its origins, since its story seemed to be suspicious. It turns out that the pilot considers herself the Generalmajor of the Bundschuh who was backstabbed by her own people.
[17.01.2019 19:56:01] WKB-Midgard: Falke: Calling the Generaloberst of the Bundschuh an infectee is dangerous, scumbag.
Before this vague statement was made, she had numerous other stories of the ship's origins.
[17.01.2019 19:36:17] WKB-Midgard: Falke: Just a former Hessian who goes its own way now.
[17.01.2019 19:38:10] WKB-Midgard: Falke: It's a ship of your allies. Bundschuh, you know?
[17.01.2019 19:37:58] WKB-Midgard: Falke: As an Agent of the order you should know this ship. It was docked at Taba for a long time to refit its engines, friend.
[17.01.2019 19:38:56] WKB-Midgard: Falke: (...) It's a former Hessian ship. I just... removed some non-important parts and altered them.
[17.01.2019 19:41:13] WKB-Midgard: Falke: (...) Getting backstabbed by your own people isn't funny, you know?
Later, a Vagrant showed up and started to attack me, I fled to Dabadoru but returned. Surprisingly, the Hessian gunboat didn't get attacked by the Vagrant, which is a reason to assume the ship and its captain are under Nomad influence.
[17.01.2019 19:45:51] WKB-Midgard: Falke: Great. You made it angry.
[17.01.2019 19:46:05] Order|Rote.Zora: Doesn't seem to be very angry about your presence.
[17.01.2019 19:46:16] WKB-Midgard: Falke: Maybe because I said nothing.
[17.01.2019 19:54:59] Order|Rote.Zora: You have to talk! You're the only one in range of the Vagrant and it's not attacking you.
[17.01.2019 19:55:12] WKB-Midgard: Falke: Maybe ask the Vagrant, not me.
The reason behind the "Unknown" transponder was also delivered in a very doubtful way.
[17.01.2019 19:40:20] WKB-Midgard: Falke: Is the transponder broken again? I'm sorry.
[17.01.2019 19:40:31] Order|Rote.Zora: Oh, yeah, it's broken.
[17.01.2019 19:56:16] Order|Rote.Zora: You're not the Generaloberst of the Bundschuh.
[17.01.2019 19:56:42] Order|Rote.Zora: Because if you were.
[17.01.2019 19:56:50] Order|Rote.Zora: You wouldn't need to scramble your transponders.
[17.01.2019 19:57:01] Order|Rote.Zora: And you know why? Because the Bundschuh are our guests and allies.
[17.01.2019 19:57:07] WKB-Midgard: Falke: Maybe the transponder broke during the last battle. Who knows.
I cannot confirm that this vessel is indeed under Nomad control, but the signs set a rather clear path, I recommend to avoid or destroy this vessel if possible.

Guten Tag, fellow pilots. Personal circumstances have caused me to make a heavy decision for myself, from this day on I will no longer be a member of the Order. You are not at fault for this and I had a wonderful time with you. It's a personal issue I'm dealing with. I wish you all the best, feel free to contact me if you feel like something hasn't been said.

The Leontopolis, along with the Order|CV-Kerimov, OCV-Seb, and a reserve fleet Resheph with the title Double.Decomposition engaged a group of Nomad vessels invading Omicron Mu. First sightings included a single Ish'tar-class dreadnaught, accompanied by a Nomad fighter and Nomad bomber. As our trio of resheph-class destroyers and the OCV-Seb, a geb assault carrier - gave chance, the Nomad force retreated to Omicron Minor, where they were shortly joined by a second Ish'tar dreadnaught and a wild pilot in a Roc-Class bomber.
Combat in the Omicron Minor nebula has never been easy, and this was no exception, the nomad vessels easily slipped into the thicker portions of the cloud, disappearing from view and circling back on us. Despite this, we were able to destroy the first Ish'tar and heavily damage the second, using hit and run / swarm tactics between our three destroyers while the OCV-Seb drew as much attention as possible and kept range. Additionally, the Nomad Bomber was destroyed by Double.Decomposition, and inbetween assaults on the dreadnaughts the Leontopolis destroyed the Nomad Fighter. Unfortunately all order vessels present suffered heavy damage and were forced out of Minor and back to Mu for repairs. Ultimately, though, we fended off their intent to attack and dealt a noteworthy blow to their forces.

Resignation and installment
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,
After long hours of deliberation and consulting with my personal staff, I decided that I am handing in my resignation papers as an Admiral. The negativity surrounding my persona on the Sirian neuralnet was putting our organization in a somewhat bad light after events the past year. As such I decided that a change of face and as such modus operandi for all those serving under me would be the best course of action for the Order Primary Fleet as a whole.
With these things noted, I am installing my close confidant and probably most loyal major, Lena Holt, who has been serving under my command for a few years as my replacement. Any further questions concerning HC issues can be relayed to her through internal channels.
I will be guiding her from the background to ensure that she fits in her new station properly and without many noticeable ripples and hiccups in the routine for you all.
May whatever deity you hold dear guide you through the ever-ongoing conflict against our enemies, and may your aim be true,

Ladies and gentlemen,
Earlier today during an engagement in the Omicrons, two human vessels showed their true colors as belonging to the greatest enemy known to man; the Nomads.
From now on, the vessels RV-Pennybrooke and Boogeyman|Aoi are to be shot on sight and their pilots and crew executed. That would be all.

Hail Overwatch.
I am reporting in after several skirmishes against the Bretonian Armed Forces in the system.
Unfortunately even though the skirmishes went well I am sad to report that Gran Canaria has fallen to Bretonia.
The Zoners have concluded what appears to have been the largest bulk of their evacuation these last few days, going so far as to load up migrants in cargo pods out of desperation to get to safety. Needless to say the large amount of traffic also provided an opportunity for smugglers to bring in their goods which resulted in several factions including the Coalition, the Hessians and Bretonia to crack down. As many ships were slowed by these cargo inspections the evacuation was incomplete and many Zoner Migrants still remain planet side in the hope to be evacuated.
Meanwhile, more and more Bretonian battleships have been entering the system. While I'm confident I can stand my ground against other fighter pilots and the occasional gunboat, I'm afraid these ships are simply beyond the capabilities of my current ship to take on.
Chatter on the system radio speaks of Bretonia moving out to annex Aland Shipyard in the Omega 3 system next, no doubt to try and regain some ship production capabilities now Galia is at their doorstep. I'll set course to the Omega 3 system and investigate the current situation there to see if there are any opportunities to strike a major blow against the crown.
Once I have assessed the situation in the system I'll submit my next report.
