I bring to you the most recent news from the warfront, aswell as a few diplomatic updates.
I will begin with the recent success in Cambridge. A Bretonian force, most likely their intelligence service, constructed a small research facility in the orbit of Cambridge. The location was very obvious, and the name was not really a smart choice either. Our scouts quickly located the station. With support of local Enclave forces, we attempted a siege of the newly construct station. The Bretonians brought quite some resistance, but our patience paid out: In a moment of weakness, the Bretonians were seperated and crushed by our forces. The station fell quickly after. We will keep monitoring the area to check if they plan to rebuild it.
Now to the second news. Today in a small patrol behind enemy lines in Rheinland space, Rogelio Axiotis and myself encountered something interesting. We found a large transport vessel, belonging to the Liberty Rogues. Surprisingly, his ship filled with "Blood Diamonds", which most likely were mined by the Hessians in the Omegas. The Rogues and Hessians working together is news to me, so make sure to check all Liberty Rogues who for some reason find their way to Rheinland or the Omegas, and kill those which carry supplies to or from the Hessians.
Finally, I'll report the commercial contact towards Ile de France Shipping. The spokesperson they for some reason decided to send was Dia Augustopolou - a Custodi deserter. But her desertion, and the death-sentence the Council of Elders will put on her shall not be our concern for now.
As with all other contractors, I put them on a trial, a series of tests to prove their usefulness and loyality. Sadly, they failed the first test allready, which was not only embarassing but also very boring. I'm afraid Ile de France Shipping will not be involved in any of the more meaningful projects, if they fail such simple tasks allready. Treat them the same way as before, sell them Artifacts and sorted Xeno Relics, accept whatever they have to offer in return, if it is useful for us.
I'll probably contact Omicron Supply Industries next, to see if they pass the trial. After that maybe Samura. We will keep you updated on that.
