Detailled Operation Report:

- Code Red

IMG Defense and Java Sensors reported a large Outcast warship closing in on Java. The Pathfinder was on patrol duty near the Tau 23 hole in Tau 37 when the call came through. We engaged it after it had jumped into Tau 37, and were able to contribute to its destruction near the sun corona.

The Pathfinder did not take any damage and was hardly fired at. Minor hull damage was caused by intensive heat and radiation.


- Cargo Interdiction

A large transport was intercepted by fighter and bomber wings. It was checked and Mr. Starwind made a "joke" about the ship carrying Cardamine, which almost prompted attacks by the wings. Gladly any mistake could be avoided, but the pilot has been corrected and we are checking whether we file it for disciplinary measures.


- Alien Contact and Intel Gathering

Alien entities seem to have become a lot more common in the Taus. The Pathfinder was doing a routine patrol when snub patrols reported about alien mind waves. We kept the Pathfinder around to give cover to the snub patrols in case of another massive alien attack, however it did not happen.



Contact was established with the alien entity and decryption algorythms worked sufficiently to understand most of what it said. More research and decryption is needed to be sure about the message, however after the invisible gunboat-sized creature uncloaked next to the Pathfinder, it became obvious that it was not hostile during the interaction.



I kept the Pathfinder ready for battle, but with no reason to fire and our chance of gathering intel at ranges of less than 100 m, I decided to not go aggressive but get as much intel as possible. Soon afterwards, we detected an energy spike and the creature became translucent, then vanished. We lost sensor contact soon afterwards.

We are in the process of uploading the data base to Java for decryption and research.

The Pathfinder took only minor damage to radiation and is back in action after rearming and refueling.
