A reply was finally received from the Phoenix not too long ago. Apparently they have fabricated some sort of hybrid sensor system that gives them enhanced detection for Nomad vessels with even potential of finding infected ships.
I immediately jumped at such a opportunity. This is exactly the sort of thing the Stormhawk needs to better achieve our goals. I they have directed us to proceed to Livadia shipyard for the installation, so I will Order the ship there at once.

A while back we made a successful deal with the Malta Hyperspace Starfleet. In return for some data they wanted for us to get for them, they were happy to pass on a moderate quantity of Thorium MOX for our use. They appear to know their way around many technical things so I look forward to working with them in the future.
No doubt this will hopefully help us to experiment further with pushing our ship to its limits. The engineering team will be very glad to hear about this.

Well, it definitely has been more eventful this past month. After a lot of time back and forth working with other groups, we finally got a hold of a very useful item for ourselves. Taking time negotiating with the Phoenix Zoner group, the Stormhawk acquired a adapted sensor system that should allows us to have much better detection against Nomad-infected vessels. They didn't make any major promises and noted that it is not a perfect system, but we hope to improve on that over time.
The installation went over without any hiccups. A fruitful discussion was made at the same time between the nearby Phoenix ships administering the installation process. Our relationship with the Phoenix has become closer and we look together to working with them again in the future.
