I am pleased to announce that operation GIFT was in fact a success, while the system-wide consequences are still being analyzed - Valhalla shipyard is no more.
Effective immediately, Thuringia is to be locked down from ALL INTRUDERS. The events within the system will soon attract the eyes and ears of various parties throughout Sirius. Personnel without express permission from either myself or the Rheinland government to be present should be redirected. All necessary force is authorized in the event the parties are non-compliant.
The Inspektorat and Kommissarat will provide a full analysis of both Thuringia and Omega-58 in due time. For now, exercise extreme caution when approaching the Suhl anomaly. Its expansion appears to be halted for now, but there's no telling what's to come with the alien presence lurking nearby.
Now, onto a much more exciting note.
My time in weapons development has led to the introduction of two new weapons I think all of you will find quite effective.
The first has been employed by myself for a few years, VENOM heavy weaponry is now available to BDM and MND personnel. The weapon utilizes a unique ion compression concept I designed years ago. This same concept was used with NEUROTOXIN. The specifications of the weapon are classified, and intricacies on how to re-configure the weapon will remain with me until I deem it necessary to share this information. Any non-authorized personnel that attempts to acquire and use the weapons will run into the consequence of incompatibility.
VENOM sacrifices efficiency for raw power, at a two-shot per second rate of fire the weapon trivializes its opponent with damage that dwarfs any others in its category. Powercore management and timing are crucial for effective use of the weapon.
The next weapon was one I developed more recently. BATRACHOTOXIN is a prototype bomber weapon that provides sustained firepower over a longer course of time with considerable damage. Stripped from the intricacies of the MALACHITE and WILD FIRE. I combined both concepts into one, along with the same Ion Compression concept seen in VENOM and this was the result.
With a staggering 10 shots per second the volatility of this weapon and rapid ion compression sacrifices accuracy - but more than makes up for it in sustained damage up close & against capital ships. This weapon is currently restricted to BDM personnel only. As it is still in its early stages of use.
Both the aforementioned weapons can be acquired on Jena Station - good hunting.
