This is Junior Lieutenant Kliment Averyanov reporting on my mission to Omicron Alpha. I was despatched from New Beijing to the Hispania Debris Field in Omicron Alpha. Under the circumstances, I elected to take the Omicron Gamma route as it was the shortest. However, I soon discovered it was far from being the safest. I flew through the Edge nebula in Omicron Gamma unnoticed - the nebula helped conceal my presence in Corsair territory - and safely crossed to Omicron Theta. I took the chance to stop at Freeport 9 to repair and refuel for the coming excursion, and it was as I was leaving the station that I was attacked by bounty hunter strike craft. Though I suffered some damage, I'm happy to say the bounty hunter ships suffered significantly more, and I took the pilots in, depositing them in the brig.
My route lay through the Sigma systems next, and as chance would have it, I passed by the Freeport 7 debris field while in Sigma-17. The Sigmas were largely uneventful aside from several enemy ships I passed by, which elected not to engage. But finally in Sigma-19 it was time to enter enemy territory proper, moving through Omicron Beta to Omicron Alpha. While in Omicron Beta I decided to fly by the shadow side of Elysium to avoid engagement by Ruiz and patrolling forces. The jump hole to Omicron Alpha was closely guarded by Outcast weapons platforms, but my ship was more than manoeuvrable enough to avoid their turrets and pass through safely.
The situation on the other side of the jump hole was similar, with more platforms stationed near the exit. I promptly moved away from the jump hole and plotted my route through the system. Since Outcast installations were dotted throughout the system, I decided to fly under the ecliptic to try and avoid detection while in open space. I successfully got to Hispania and did my duty as was asked of me, after which I began backtracking out of the system. The Outcast scanners must have picked up my drive wake however, as my sensors registered an Outcast pilot on the search for me. I managed to stay out of contact range all the way to the Omicron Beta jump hole - where my sensors picked up a friendly Zoner craft. Deciding not to tempt fate, I promptly jumped out of the system.
My arrival to Omicron Beta had been expected, and I was met with a group of Outcast strike craft in the nebula. After baiting them away from the cover of weapons platforms, I successfully destroyed them. I was also lucky to have come across an Outcast convoy carrying engine components. I quickly destroyed the transports and appropriated what I could, after which I left the sector to avoid being overwhelmed. My flight back to New Moscow was uneventful, aside from a malfunction of my navigational computer that accidentally took me through Omega-41.
In conclusion, in addition to successfully completing the mission itself I also managed to capture seven enemy pilots for internment and possible reeducation, as well as a batch of engine components for manufacture and reverse engineering. After analysing intercepted Corsair and Outcast communications, I also intend to test a different route to Outcast space through the system referred to by the factions as Omicron Xi. Mission report ends. Averyanov out.
