Into the Abyss

[9th.Legion]

This is cpt. Erwin Smith of Battlecruiser [IN]-Excommunicado speaking!

We have successfully arrived in Omicron Minor from Omicron Nu’s jump hole and we are continuing our passage alongside our fellow Corsair friend DTR-CNS>Cimitarra and his comrades to their Home world with full speed, heading towards the unknown for the sake of our people, in desperate need of protection and shelter, until then, we cannot afford to stop even for a minute ! Remembering the beauty of Omicron Minor, the home world of The Orders and comparing its conditions now, it should motivate us all to unite as one, a force fighting against Evil.

These memories of Planet Toledo and its perfect condition, the times when my little brother sgt. Andrew Smith was still alive and kicking, that tricky brain brings back memories, filled with a lot of joy in seeing his smile, hearing his voice and the way he laughs with his crew members, but since the Nomads invasion of Minor, my brother was declared M.I.A. and from that moment, everything turned into high radiating clouds, shipwrecks, dust and somewhere in-between, Andrew’s ship and crew lays lifeless and undiscovered… He was still too young to die, may he at least suffered a painless death, with all these hopes, once we meet in Valhalla, we will bask in good and fine ale while sharing our life stories – either sad or happy. There is possibility, that he might be alive, that I’ll have another chance in seeing his smile, that I’ll hear his warm voice, but after all, it’s just my lonely hopes in something almost impossible to happen.

Anyways, there it is, traveling through old memories, with a ship carrying a huge load of innocent civilians seeking shelter and protection, through a very old and destroyed system, there was this scary and eerie feeling of unsettling anger. Even only passing through the current state of Planet Toledo, seemed horrific and devastating at the same time, the planet probably has zero chance of rebuilding any type of life form, with these high levels of radiation, obviously uninhabitable for humans. That devastated orbital space, called “Toledo Graveyard”, filled with The Core and The Order shipwrecks, among all of them, one in particular got my attention. The ship wreck of Battleship Isis, Andrew and his crew were serving the captain of the Isis, following all commands during their last stand at Planet Toledo, buying time for the retreating Order forces, my brother probably gave these aliens hell of a fight. But there was something else in this eerie place, right behind Toledo, an unidentifiable vessel, surrounded in clouds, dust and rock formations, it was like a “Ghost ship”, but still operating at its full power, whatever that vessel was, now it’s far behind the engines.
As an Ex-Insurgency soldier, still remembering the duties, in such hard times - we have to help each other to survive, the hospitality of Deterrence is quite generous towards us, we don’t know them and they don’t know us, but still they decided to give us a hand, so we can survive, so we can feel safe and feel at HOME. Many have labeled Deterrence as a very arrogant and mean organization, but Deterrence seemed to be otherwise of what others have said, may the Gods keep it that way. For now the main purpose, is to bring all these people to safety, to let them have a brighter future and more reasons to never give up. Looking at it in a different way, Deterrence represents itself to be a big and helpful organization with many opportunities for all of us, let’s just hope that we will get the chance to prove our loyalty and show them our best !
