Hermanos

Today while commanding the Imperator Rugido Estruendoso,
we have welcomed an interesting visitor to Omicron Gamma.

A Hathor Class Order gunboat named the CV-Luxor entered the system via the Omicron Kappa jumphole.
It's captain, a señor Xan, declared it's presence and location upon entering.
As I ordered my crew to approach this gunboat, its capitan and myself had a conversation.
Part of this conversation was witnessed by the Praefect Cruiser Cazadora, that passed by our location.
I will add a recording of our conversation to this transmission.

[16.02.2019 15:41:58] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Attention Corsair Empire, this is Commander Xander of the Order. I'm seeking a representative to discuss something with

[16.02.2019 15:42:57] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Commander Xander, this is Capitan Ortigo, transmit your coordinates and prepare for inspection

[16.02.2019 15:44:05] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Understood. I have held position at the Omicron Kappa jump hole to avoid trespassing into your space further than
[16.02.2019 15:44:08] Order|CV-Luxor: needed to contact you

[16.02.2019 15:44:35] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: I repeat, this is Capitan Ortigo of the Corsair Brotherhood, Order vessel, transmit your coordinates

[16.02.2019 15:44:43] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: As a full disclosure, I am currently in a Hathor class Gunboat. The Omicrons aren't the safest, I'm sure you understand
[16.02.2019 15:45:00] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: The coordinates to the jumphole are F2

[16.02.2019 15:45:00] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Understood senor

[16.02.2019 15:47:36] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Hail captain, I appreciate you coming out to meet me.

[16.02.2019 15:48:03] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Welcome to Omicron Gamma senor, what brings you here?


[16.02.2019 15:48:40] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: As you no doubt are aware, the situation in Omicron 49 has turned dire. Bretonia has annexed the system and shows no
[16.02.2019 15:48:43] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Intent of stopping


[16.02.2019 15:49:27] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Si senor, the situation is quite dire indeed

[16.02.2019 15:49:36] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I've been stationed in the system for some while, aiding in the occasional raid against the Armed Forces.

[16.02.2019 15:49:54] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: So why is the Order interested in our protectorate?

[16.02.2019 15:50:41] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: The Order has no love for Bretonia, they have proven themselves untrustworthy and a threat in their desperation.
[16.02.2019 15:51:23] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Not to mention the Zoners are a reliable sort as I'm sure you can agree. The Order requires Sirius to be stable, strong.

[16.02.2019 15:51:30] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Indeed, the Bretonian government has a lot to answer for

[16.02.2019 15:52:17] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Indeed. With Galia nipping at their heels, Bretonia is lashing out in the systems around it. Weakening all parties.

[16.02.2019 15:52:34] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Recent intel shows that the Coalition has reached some sort of an agreement with Bretonia

[16.02.2019 15:53:04] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I've heard rumors, but no confirmation yet from High Command. This does surprise me however
[16.02.2019 15:53:22] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I don't recall the Coalition ever being particularly fond of any of the houses.

[16.02.2019 15:53:43] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: O: Their forces have been fighting side by side, a recent intrusion into Omega 52 has shown a large Order fleet gathering,
[16.02.2019 15:54:07] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: O: They were standing by idle while the Brotherhood attacked the Coalition
[16.02.2019 15:54:59] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: O: Needless to say, the Corsair Brotherhood is uncertain of the Order's motives in this conflict

[16.02.2019 15:55:08] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Hm, I have not heard of any Order fleet in the Omega's yet. Are you aware if they were from the Black Fleet?

[16.02.2019 15:55:49] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: O: If the Order truely wishes to stand at our side in this conflict, they will face Coalition forces fighting alongside the

[16.02.2019 15:55:51] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Bretonias

[16.02.2019 15:56:32] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: If the Coalition has truely sided with Bretonia, that might very well come to pass.

[16.02.2019 15:56:37] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: O: This makes me wonder, what the Order really seeks in Omega-49

[16.02.2019 15:57:18] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: The Orders ambitions are not on Omega 49 itself. But on Bretonia. Now that the planet has fallen, the Order is redirecting
[16.02.2019 15:57:35] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: it's focus to Omega 3, that is not to say all activity will cease in Omega 49 mind you.

[16.02.2019 15:57:40] Cazadora[TBH]: Juarez: Hola companero.

[16.02.2019 15:57:55] Order|CV-Luxor: Greetings Corsair vessel

[16.02.2019 15:58:12] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Hola Capitan, good of you to come here, we are having an interesting conversation

[16.02.2019 15:58:42] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Indeed. As for Omega 3. You may have heard Bretonia's broadcasts. Proclaiming their intention to annex Aland Shipyard.
[16.02.2019 15:59:00] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: This is no doubt to try and regain some production facilities after the Gallic invasion in New London

[16.02.2019 15:59:17] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Senor Xan, are you in a position of giving us guarantees when it comes to your support against Bretonia and its allies?

[16.02.2019 15:59:17] Cazadora[TBH]: Juarez: Si, the tea sippers have been very agressive lately.

[16.02.2019 16:00:00] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Against Bretonia I can guarantee. The situation with the Coalition however is still ambiguous at best. If they truely have

[16.02.2019 16:00:13] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: This information is new to us, if Bretonia wishes to annex Aland Shipyard, it will solidify their position

[16.02.2019 16:00:14] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: sided with the Bretonians, then I can see that happening
[16.02.2019 16:01:04] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Indeed. The Order does not desire this to occur either.

[16.02.2019 16:01:14] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: O: Under these circumstances, does it not seem reasonable for the Order to declare open war on the Coalition?

[16.02.2019 16:01:42] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: If the rumors of the Coalition alliance are confirmed, than High Command might make such a move yes.
[16.02.2019 16:02:25] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: As for Omega 3. I've been stationed there to gather information on the situation in the system as it develops

[16.02.2019 16:02:34] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Very well senor, then we can reach an understanding

[16.02.2019 16:02:56] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Ideally, we would like to strike a major blow against Bretonia should the chance arrive.
[16.02.2019 16:03:41] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Why I came here, is to measure if the Corsair Empire would be willing to back us up should such an opportunity arise

[16.02.2019 16:04:26] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Si, as far as I can tell, the Empire would be interested to dedicate forces to such a strike

[16.02.2019 16:05:01] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Hmm, the plan is a bit more..nuanced than a basic strike. At least, the ideal opportunity I'm hoping we get.
[16.02.2019 16:05:22] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: How familiar are you with the Omega 2 system?

[16.02.2019 16:05:44] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: As of now, reports flood in that the Red Hessians, the Coalition and Bretonia operate together.
[16.02.2019 16:06:27] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: This is most challenging to our forces, pinning them down in Omega 49, and as such, we have little to spare in Omega 2

[16.02.2019 16:07:21] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: There isn't much of interest in the system. A high amount of radiation around a Red Dwarf star and minerals that can be
[16.02.2019 16:07:23] Order|CV-Luxor: mined around it

[16.02.2019 16:08:06] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: So what about this system capitan Xan? It does not sound of tactical importance?

[16.02.2019 16:08:24] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: There is a jump hole leading to it from Omega 3, stable enough to sustain a capital ship
[16.02.2019 16:09:02] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I trust you are aware of how 'valuable' Order prisoners are considered by Bretonia?

[16.02.2019 16:09:29] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: I can imagine, si....

[16.02.2019 16:10:15] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Keep in mind this is nothing more than a hopeful plan right now.
[16.02.2019 16:10:34] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Ideally, I would like to lure a large capital vessel to the system, chasing little old me
[16.02.2019 16:11:03] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Only for a trap to be sprung by several Order vessels, and some of the empire if you can spare them.
[16.02.2019 16:11:10] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: The goal wouldn't be to destroy the ship however

[16.02.2019 16:11:31] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: You wish to capture it?

[16.02.2019 16:12:01] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Indeed. Not only depriving Bretonia of one of their heavy hitters, but turning it against them.

[16.02.2019 16:12:31] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Sounds like a brave plan capitan....

[16.02.2019 16:12:35] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: It will require some precision on all our parts.
[16.02.2019 16:12:46] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Disabling the shields, letting the radiation take care of most of the crew.
[16.02.2019 16:12:54] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: No doubt back up would arrive as well.

[16.02.2019 16:13:02] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Here is what you should do, contact the Corsair Brotherhood over the neural net
[16.02.2019 16:13:48] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Our elders will need to discuss your plan in dept, and also,
[16.02.2019 16:14:14] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: they should discuss if lending support to the Order is justified, in respect to their relations to the Coalition

[16.02.2019 16:14:54] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Understandable. The diplomatic climate is...turbulent. Still, the Order and the Corsair Empire have worked together
[16.02.2019 16:15:10] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Closely in the past. Hopefully the threat posed by Bretonia might rekindle some of that mutual cooperation

[16.02.2019 16:15:23] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Hopefully

[16.02.2019 16:16:01] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Very well then captain Ortigo. I'll report back to the High Command regarding our discussion. As well as your findings on
[16.02.2019 16:16:04] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: The Coalition

[16.02.2019 16:16:08] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: You can trust that our conversation remains confidential, and if you wish,
[16.02.2019 16:16:32] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Include a recording of it in your transmission to the Brotherhood Elders

[16.02.2019 16:17:12] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I will. Do I have permission to cross your system to Omega 41? It would save quite a lot of time towards Omega 3.
[16.02.2019 16:17:22] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I'll agree to an escort to make sure I behave, naturally

[16.02.2019 16:17:39] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: I am confident that this will be reviewed with interest senor Xan, and if you wish, this can be arranged
[16.02.2019 16:18:06] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: send a transmission to the Brotherhood on the neural net, to solidify this, for now I can escort you through Gamma

[16.02.2019 16:18:23] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Understood, lead the way
[16.02.2019 16:19:07] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: By the way, that's an imperator class vessel correct?

[16.02.2019 16:19:31] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Si Capitan, she is old but reliable

[16.02.2019 16:19:57] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Facinating. I've seen the occasional Corsair vessel in Omicron Delta, usually battleships though.
[16.02.2019 16:20:13] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Honestly the Core have been more annoying than the Nomads lately.

[16.02.2019 16:20:35] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: The Brotherhood sends the occasional sortie into Delta, recently there has been a clash between the Core and our forces

[16.02.2019 16:20:55] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: *laughs* well if there's one thing I can promise with absolute certainty
[16.02.2019 16:21:03] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: It's that the Order will assist in any fight against the Core

[16.02.2019 16:21:42] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Muy bien, I remember the times when our relations were better capitan, mayhaps out of all this turbulence,
[16.02.2019 16:21:49] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: O: Something good can grow again

[16.02.2019 16:22:13] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: I hope so to. Thanks for the escort. Once I arrive in Omega 3 I'll transmit my report to High Command.

[16.02.2019 16:22:14] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: The jumphole is clear capitan, she's all yours
[16.02.2019 16:22:22] Rugido.Estruendoso[TBH]: Ortigo: Muy bien!

[16.02.2019 16:22:26] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Shortly after, you should receive the transmission over the neuronet
[16.02.2019 16:22:34] Order|CV-Luxor: Xan: Until next time!

If our Elders see any merit to to this proposed plan, it might provide an interesting window into further investigating our ties
with our old Order allies.
It is also interesting to take note of Bretonia's intentions in the Omega-3 system.

To serve with honour dignity and pride,

Capitan P. Ortigo
