Catching up my week of businesses, I have temporarily moored the Aegeon in Freeport 11 with a task to map out strategic sectors in Omicron Delta, and establish paramilitary relations with the local habitats. During my rounds, I met a Corsair captain in his deployment to deal with the nomad threat, and as we got to know each other better over the course of time, he revealed a station in the Corsairs homeworld is selling rare Derelict Nomad Artifacts.
With this new information, I dispatched a Democritus class light command vessel stationed in Freeport 9 to make haste down to Omicron Gamma to verify. It turns out the information is correct, but the artifact is also much more expensive than expected. Nonetheless, as the potential research and knowledge gained from this could be immense and it would be a shame to miss out, so I have authorised additional funds to proceed with the transaction, although this will slightly stretches our budgets in the short term.
Furthermore, with recent the situation unfolding on Gran Canaria, I have also asked the command vessel to also make a brief detour to Corfu base on its return. At the moment, the base is currently selling Corsairs and other factions weaponry components destined for Gran Canaria. However, with Bretonia's rapid withdrawal from the planet, I am unsure if the current cooperation with the Corsairs smugglers will continue on. I also fear this new potential power vacuum may cause the Omega system to descend into a hot zone, with different factions including the Corsairs at the wrong end of the stick. In case of this scenario playing out, I have asked the ship to stock in some specialised components in case the need for tactical research and reverse engineering is required to secure strategic advantage.
The light command vessel will now make its way back to Kadesh Colony under stealth. Local reconnaissance patrols will be advised when the cloak ship gets closer to home port.
