The convoy has made it, Mr. Schulze.

Utilising the data provided by the Starfliers, both freighters made a successful jump translation to Omega-48 through the unstable corridor and arrived for a rendezvous with your people. Unfortunately, they didn't escape notice by the Corsairs, and the resulting altercation caused some casualties among our escort ships, and as I am told, among the Guild's forces as well.

Apart from that, the mission was a complete success. Both freighters survived the engagement and have now returned to Arranmore with requisite supplies. Their reports are being studied and additional convoys are already being outfitted.

Unsurprisingly, the Cretan raiders pose an ever-present complication, but the hurdle of surviving passage through an unstable jump hole has been cleared. We cannot give up now.

Godspeed,
Matthew Jamie Burns
