Howdy, friends. Checking in from Omega-11 space, just outside Mineore Research Station, regarding what I've run across so far here.

I spent a few days on Gran Canaria before getting in motion, and the folks there gave me a rundown of the region before setting off. They filled me in on the presence of the literal Eastern Coalition in O-52 just one connection away, like they'd leaped right out of the history books. Well, apparently these guys are the Sirius Coalition and have been here for some time. I heard a little about this on the Net, but I honestly thought the article was about historical re-enactors, not the actual nation. Truth is stranger than fiction, I reckon. I probably should have turned back after plotting the jump, but I did sneak around their system a bit to get a peek at the planetary bodies.

During my swing up to Omega-55, the Junkers on Bornholm gave me some juicy tips about Planet Skagen in-system being covered in alien ruins, but the place is crawling with Core and there's nowhere safe to slip by and land. They also tried to scare the living hell outta me by saying that if I flew into the Ferner Field, nobody'd ever hear from me again. I hate to admit, it worked, but I couldn't not get a close up of that planetary debris inside - it's massive!

It made for a good opportunity to try out the new cloaking system. Kept me nice and safe and didn't explode, a major plus, but I was getting false radar tracks constantly in the field, like I was being jammed. Still plotted a jump hole and, interestingly, clocked some Rheinland ships I couldn't ID. Pirates, or maybe Rheinland Military operating black-flag? They didn't spot me, thank God, and either way it wasn't my business, so I got the heck outta there. Going to have to consider pouring more money into my radar suite.

Dr. Wright - I bet I know the exact bunch of researchers you're talking about. I figured they'd be interested in a little collab when I chatted them up! Will update you soon on Grant status.
