Malta Hyperspace Starfleet

Sender: Miguel Perez
Report: Armed Convoy Smuggling Operations
Stardate: 05.05.834

Saludos:

As part of the armed convoy smuggling operations, today, I, Observador Miguel Perez, along with several others, have shipped a grand total of twenty-thousand units of Cardamine to Liberty, over two trips.

The composition of our Convoy for the first trip consisted of:
Two - CTE CT-73 "Stork" Civilian Advanced Trains - HS> Proveedor, HS>Contrabbandiere
One - Canarian ZC-410 "Peregrine" Civilian Frigate - HS>Tagliamento
Myself - a RM-3C "Tridente" Outcast Gunship - HS>Eliminador

Note that our composition remained the same for the second trip, with the exception of HS>Proveedor halting at the end of the first trip to tend to other pressing matter in the home system.

The first trip proceeded smoothly and uneventfully, with smooth transition through the Tau corridor. We had no difficulties reaching our destination of Cochrane Depot in the Ontario system, except for occasional tracking difficulties due to the vile nature of said system.

Enclosed are drone shots of the convoy traversing through the Tau Corridor to Ontario:

Now for the second trip, which in comparison, was quite eventful with several instances to report.

When the convoy reached Tau-37, we encountered a suspicious IMG ship, which went by the callsign 'IMG|Tom:Marsh' which remained strangely quiet other than uttering a single word for the entirety of this encounter. Considering the danger to our convoy, I reacted swiftly by attempting to give them a chance to communicate their intentions. However, after our attempts to calmly ask them to cut their engines were met with unresponsiveness, we engaged them in a firefight, which regretfully ended with them managing to moor at a nearby station.

After this, we continued on our way to Liberty, though this time through Kusari, to gauge the security and activity along this pathway. Until we reached Shikoku, our journey remained uneventful. Although when we were almost through Shikoku, we encountered three ships belonging to the Gen'an Chrysanthemums: 'GC-Yunoki.Misaki', 'GC-Furutani.Izanami', 'GC-Hiasobi', which appeared to be engaged in an investigative dialogue with a Type I Kishiro Barge, 'Ionic|Galaxy'. Contrary to our expectations, even under the pressure exerted by the presence of multiple Maltese ships and the Golden Chrysanthemums, the Kishiro pilot dared to insult us.

Such words coming out of the mouth of a lowly insect we could trample on if we just so felt like, I couldn't let this pass. On the spot, I decided to only let the vermin leave in one piece if they accepted Cardamine from us, thus demonstrating support for the Orange Dream and leaving irrefutable proof of their acceptance and embrace of the Orange substance. The massive ship, which I doubt could even be considered a ship but a mobile station, was full with cargo that would either be used for its maintenance or to supply another installation. After a few moments they accepted my demand, making space promptly to tractor the Cardamine offered by us. Conversely, HS>Tagliamento during this time engaged in a friendly exchange with the Golden Chrysanthemums and even offered them a small portion of the Cardamine we had on store. After this, we proceeded to leave the area, after giving a warning to the Kishiro pilot, not to repeat such offence again. Attached are the audio recordings and cargo scan of the Kishiro Barge with Cardamine as part of it:

However, as we reached the Jump Gate out of Shikoku we stumbled upon a GMG transport, 'Maryam' which was full with Iridium. Our lesser armed ships departed from the location, while I made an attempt to catch and slow down the GMG transport. It didn't follow our ships but tried to dock with a trade lane twice to get away while bluffing that they were going to cooperate, all while I demanded them to stop multiple times. After it failed to use the trade lanes to escape, it launched fire at my ship while trying to slip past, due to this errant behaviour displayed, I launched a counteroffense with the aim of taking it down. The GMG ship, while dueling with me, led me back to the GC and Kishiro Barge, where HS>Tagliamento caught up and assisted me as the GMG ship ultimately ended at our hands. We then exchanged pleasantries with the GC ships and proceeded back to rendezvous with HS>Contrabbandiere. Below is the audio log and guncam shot confirming the kill:

In the end, we managed to reach Ontario and delivered the cargo safely, while we brought back several thousand units of Counterfeit Computerware on our way back to Malta safely.

End of report.
