This is Supreme Navarch Hachette reporting to Primary database. I was to oversee the Cepheus' refitting and weaponry calibration tests at the Citadel before moving to forward field command and real time combat testing of the vessel, namely in the deep Omicrons. My own handling of this crude vessel was also put to the test, it lacks grace and subtlety, it is more of a wedge than a scalpel, still, I managed.

I partook in multiple operations in the heart of Omicron conflict, the star system known as Zeta, and a couple minor excursions into neighboring Delta. The majority of said operations were spearheaded by Navarch Valentine's assault group until I was finished familiarizing myself with the Cepheus. Our first excursion landed us in Zeta, where we made contact with the zoner group known as Phoenix, who were engaged in conflict with vessels likely commanded by infested individuals who fought alongside minor nomad combat morphs. We were forced to dispatch a few Core stragglers prior to further communication. Achlys actual saw an opportunity to remove dangerous materials from the hands of Phoenix before they could be handed over to the misguided and tyrannical Core, or worse, Zoner researchers who have no loyalty and no goal. The spark of conflict was quick to ignite an execution after Phoenix jettisoned the material and proceeded to burn it before our eyes to taunt us. However I am no stranger to putting down dogs beset by mange masquerading as humans, so I quickly entered the fray ahead of the Achlys who lay down heavy supporting fire from afar while I used the Cepheus' close range weaponry to riddle pockets in the hull of the Phoenix capital vessels. I was tasked once again with repurposing the Cepheus' large weaponry on disgusting, insignificant roaches pretending to fit the role of bombers. Unfortunately, one must make do when manpower is lacking.

The result of the conflict was several destroyed Phoenix and Core vessels with the Phoenix flag ship marooned on the Core station, thus reaffirming that the motley band of peasant scum is indeed in bed with the Core. There were brief skirmishes with the Core in the northern region of Zeta, and the central region of Delta shortly thereafter, nothing else of note took place.
