Greetings Coalition,

Now that the first phase of our plan is complete, we can speak more openly. Our priority was to minimize Corsair interference.

We’ve extended our reach into the Omegas, Zoners have operated there for centuries, of course, but omega-55 is a new undertaking for us. We’re aware it is a war zone; frankly, that risk profile is not far from daily life in the deep Omicrons.

The Erie crisis drove many Zoners to flee; a portion of them joined Phoenix. That new blood allowed some of our seasoned personnel to pursue a long-deferred aim: exploring the farthest reaches of the Omegas. Early reports identified opportunities that justified the risk, hence the establishment of our installation.

We are already opening channels with the Red Hessians; I won’t elaborate further until an agreement is in hand. Given our existing cooperation with the Coalition’s Ministry of Plenty on iridium commerce and counter-Corsair efforts. I’m confident we can structure additional mutual benefits.

On that note, we were granted Red Visas and would like to renew/extend them to keep our trade flowing. Our new station is hungry for basic industrial materials, and our trade fleet stands ready to haul what you require in return.

Jonathan Cayran, out.
