Commander Moreton reporting.

Two things to report, first things first, we found a Liberty Carrier named Red.October in the minefield around the Zeta jumphole in Mu. Turns out the ship has gone rouge, it arrived to transfer four Order prisoners the captain had rescued from one of the stations in Alaska, as well as some Nomad remains. He later had information transferred over detailing information on the Kodiak and Fairsbank stations.

I decided not to follow standard protocol in this situation and instead had the carrier escorted out of Mu under the mroise he'd return with more information on LN and LSF movements and stations near our base. We were also horribly out-gunned, I wasn't prepared to risk sacrificing two good Reshephs to destroy a ship that has proved useful.

Now onto even more important matters.

Earlier today we have been running drills and tests on the Menthu testing the capabilities of her new Spyglass scanner, that has been modified and infused with Gallic long distance and deep scanning technology. During one of these tests we picked up an anomaly in an uncharted corner of the Omicron Zeta system. I assigned agent Rodgers and one of our new recruits, Shane Helmsworth to assist the Menthu in scouting the anomaly.

We found a Core station named Cape Town when nearing the anomaly, how they built a station right under our noses is something, but it gets even worse. The anomaly turned out to be a jump-hole leading to a system stellar-cartographers have named Omicron Rho.

It was thought there was no jump-holes connecting Rho to the web of jump-holes used to get around the Omicrons. We were wrong. Rho has clearly been the home of many of the Core for a good while, in fact I'd go as far as to presume that this might just be their primary base of operations, something that we used to believe existed deep with-in the Omegas.

Upon entry we were engaged by a battle group consisting of one Mako and two support craft clearly stationed there to destroy intruders. Rodgers craft was destroy instantly, but thankfully the Menthu was able to tractor his pod. Rodgers is un-injured and fit to return to duty immediately.

The Menthu and Shane were able to evade the battle group and I had the Spyglass warmed up again. It didn't take a second for the modified Spyglass scanner to pick up two planets as well as a satellite orbiting each one. Nether of the planets were anything of note, however the two satellites quickly proved to be Core stations. One was something I have never seen the likes of that I can only assume is their chief command post, the other was obviously a highly advanced shipyard and dry-dock.

The Spyglass was able to detect another jump-hole long before another sensor array could've picked it up. This hole was just as well guarded as the one from Zeta, and it dropped us out about seven point five klicks Dabadoru station.

I reckon the jump-hole from Delta has existed for a while and the Core have been using Rho as a place to secretly move their primary base of operations closer to the center of their ZoI. While I doubt the hole from Zeta into Rho has existed as long as the one in Delta, how the Core managed to build a station over it without us noticing is quite worrying. They must've moved supplies straight from Rho while constructing the station to avoid our patrols throughout Zeta.

we were fortunate enough to run into some convoys of Clydesdales In Rho and Delta carrying supplies for the Core escorted by Mantas. Each convoy was destroyed and supplies seized for the Order, but there just wasn't enough to make a dent on their lines.

While it must be said that the Spyglass the crew of Menthu have dubbed 'Eyeball' has proved to be a great success, that success has been horribly over-shadowed by the discovery of the Cape Town and the Rho system. There are far to many guesses and speculations at the moment when we need hard fact, I strongly recommend Overwatch makes this our top priority, pulling agents from our attempts to regain some of our lost presence around Sirus if necessary,
