We have a couple spots of good news, and a dash of bad.
For the good, the Freeport admin is pleased to announce the finalization of tests on the station's new salvage refinery. Captured salvage from escort flights or scrap mining can now be marked for processing at the refinery, positioned on deck 17 near the secondary cargo storage. Please note that the refinery will not accept defined scrap, such as barrels or capacitors, and that we are maintaining a strict restriction on salvage anyone recovers from the orbit of Veracruz.
I'm also happy to say that our Ms. Harat has finally finished her and her crew's trials, and while their ships are still being prepared, expect to see them providing assistance with supply duties.
To a more somber topic, Veracruz Munitions, a prominent figure in the rings of Veracruz, will soon be broken up by a combination of gravitational forces and debris and asteroidal impacts. The administration will be holding a small ceremony in its memory in the Expeditionary Lounge this Tuesday. I know some will state that neither the station nor its owners were very involved with the Society, and they're right. Regardless, some members of the Society do remember the station playing a far more involved role before Tijuana's establishment, and this is the administration's way of offering what condolences are warranted.
We are, at the least, pleased to inform members of the Society that the station is largely abandoned, and thus no civilian casualties are expected. Regardless, supply captains are requested to remain on call for the next 24 hours in the event this turns out to be false.
