Our new installation has been occupying most of my time. When we aren't coordinating transports vessels we have begun launching raids, progressively securing a large area as the operations expand. With 600 crew and roughly 400 plant workers and facility employees purifying helium, processing ores and sorting scrap metal, Oyster Creek has far outgrown its initial purposes as a simple hideout and is now one of the largest Xeno installations in Liberty.
The next step is to secure our diplomacy with the few groups that favour us, namely the Corsairs and the remnants of the Hellfire Legion. The Corsairs have access to many materials that we don't, and if we continue to supply them with a steady stream of sorted scrap parts we can source the appropriate materials to continue the ongoing construction and expansion of the installation. The Hellfire Legion, while having little to trade of their own, provide a prime location from which to launch mining activities in Humboldt system. We can then ship the ore to our processing facility at Oyster Creek where we can prepare it for its final destination at Ouray.
The personal being employed here presently will be used to train miners and heavy equipment drivers for preparation of the Death Valley mineral extraction project, which I understand has long been a goal of the Xeno Alliance but has had many obstacles in its path. The Oyster Creek project will help to overcome two of those hurdles - raw materials and trained labor. Additionally the pending acquisition of the Serpentis Maximus will allow us to move larger amounts of goods than ever before, accelerating the process.
Finally, some success against our bitter enemies the Junkers. I managed to rip apart two large Salvager ships that came into range of our patrols. May this just be the beginning. Milford are refuelling and rearming my Waran, then I will return to oversee the completion these two projects.
