Olá and kalhmera fellow Corsairs,

Last day was very fruitful for new - and worrying - information. Heading out from Crete I have met two pilots from The Brotherhood, Alberto Rodriguez and Cesar Gutierrez, who were discussing the question of Gran Canaria with a Tuareg liner captain. Word by word, we came to the topic of Omega-55 as a system that lies just next door to our home, but is mostly neglected by us and is in partial control of our adversaries. Quickly a decision was formed to pay that system a visit. The Brotherhood pilots kindly accepted my offer to fly along, which I offered because I feel it's important to watch that system more closely, and maybe my observations could provide useful data for the BFC.
We didn't face any serious opposition on entering the system. Generally, the situation was pretty calm, with that angry Core looking at us from afar of their hideout near Skagen (which should be our planet), but they didn't send anyone to intercept.
Probably every Corsair who ever traversed through the Omega-55 have seen some huge rocks in the asteroid field beyond the Planet Rugen. There are some rumors circulating that this area looks much calmer than it is, but mostly nobody pays attention to it, as it's been known that there's noting useful there. However, we headed directly into the asteroid field to scan these formations closely. When we approached sufficiently to the first rock, the revelation came as a bit of surprise: it's not just a rock, it's a base quite alike Cadiz, but filled with the Infected. Yes, Corsairs are used to encounter the glowing alien creatures in the far corners of Malvada and in Omicron Kappa, but infected people?.. They have sent not just several lighter crafts to intercept, as it would happen if it was some minor outpost, but a whole wind with a Scorpion Gunboat. We were lucky that The Brotherhood pilot was flying a bomber.
Of course, if the Infected managed to put such an installation in this system, they must have had an easy access to it from somewhere, and there are no known major Nomad or Infected presence in our adjacent systems or in Hessian-controlled Dresden.
So it wasn't that surprising to find an anomaly right in the opening in the second huge rock nearby. I'm even wondering if that anomaly happened there just by itself, such unusual is its location. Me and our TBH hermanos felt a dark and oppressive feeling when we came closer. However, we felt it was our duty to check what's going on in there. One Brother, who felt more loco than usual (that tequila from last year harvest was funny, I was telling everyone), entered the system and we followed when we received a clearance.
What can I say. This system is the darkest place I've seen across Sirius and Gallia. My sensors went haywire, and navigation unit refused to work even after intensive stomping on it. Only closer objects were shown on the radar. Not long after we entered, the Infected appeared. We managed to defeat several unusually resilient crafts, but they were just coming and coming, bringing more fighters and gunboats. We had to retreat. Luckily we weren't followed.
After we caught our breath, we realized we captured several Infected in our cargo holds. Unwilling to risk the safety of our home, we quickly decided to get rid of them. Annihilation cannon has put an end to their terrifying existence.
Soon after one more TBH pilot arrived, who was señor Pepe. While others were discussing our discovery, I realized that being surprised by what I saw and all the equipment funniness, I didn't record the system data. I quickly went into the jump hole again, telling everyone to not follow me. I have recorded the data (already sent to the research unit in the BFC High Command) and jumped back as soon as the jump systems recharged. The enemies were waiting there, but I was quick enough to evade before jumping out.
My conclusion is, this is the rumored "Omega-58" system, about which you can hear from drunk stories on the Freeport 9. If so, this is alarming. We are having a major Infected installation right in our backyard, with a direct link to the source of reinforcements for them. As if Core and Coalition was not enough for that system!
I cannot stress enough how important it is for the security of the Empire to regain control in Omega-55 (not to mention that Skagen could be a much more promising solution to our expansion problem than dying Gran Canaria). I hope our glorious BFC command, as well as TBH, other clans and the Council of Elders will resolve to appropriate measures.

Tchau
