Bonjour, Postes au Conseil.
As part of our partnership with IDF Shipping, we've been supporting their transports with our own vessels in order to maximise capacity, ensuring efficient movement of goods too and from Gallia while managing to keep costs at a reasonable level.
We sent out several shipments of Molybdenum ore to both Rheinland and the deep Omicrons - with assistance from the GMS and their mining operations within the Languedoc system. Our first trip took us to the heart of Rheinland, New Berlin, our return trip was facilitated by the Independant Miners Guild and we returned Uncut Diamonds from their operation within the Omega 2 system. The trip was rather uneventful with no notable encounters.
Our second trip with Molybdenum went to the Omicron Theta system. One of the Zoner Freeports seems to pay well for our ore and we met with a Corsair on the station who directed us to an operation they were running within a gas giant, Planet Knossos. They filled our transports with strange artifacts from an alien ruin within the upper atmosphere of the planet. We were accosted by two unknown signals, one appeared to be an alien vessel and the other some strange hybrid gunboat type craft. Our convoy - along with Corsair assistance, made quick work of the gunboat and the smaller vessel made a quick escape.
We transported the artifacts back to Gallia without any further interruption, i'm sure someone will get a kick out of studying them.
