RE: Upcoming operations.

Recent intel we've acquired has given us a location of a rather important commodity: Iridium. For some time, the Board of Directors and Mr Cromwell have been interested in finding a supply of this vital resource. Now we've discovered a station selling the stuff in bulk, we want to investigate. Shortly, we will be dispatching a convoy to the Omicron Delta system, for a reconnaissance in force. The Clydesdale Brigade will be heavily utilised, alongside the services of a single transport. I'll be coordinating the mission from the cockpit of the BES Aird, one of Services' repair ships.

Our destination is Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta. This is a Zoner installation at the very edge of explored space. We're not sure where the source of their Iridium is; it may be mined from a free-floating asteroid field, or perhaps a nearby planet. That's one of our aims - to discover where the stuff is coming from and how much of it they have. Beyond that, we'll be buying as much refined Iridium as we can hold, then transporting it back to Scarborough Shipyard in Newcastle. From what our agent reported, we can expect heavy resistance from Corsair pirates, should we be discovered. Consequently, we'll be making sure we aren't. I want this to be inconspicuous, not a fire-fight.

Due to the danger of this run, the pathfinder convoy is purely voluntary. Captains and crews who participate will receive a hefty ExSec bonus for their troubles. This operation itself will be happening within the next week.

Best of luck, gentlemen.
~Peterson.
