Once again, we lent a hand to our friendly neighbors.
Under the cover of a routine iridium delivery, we made our way into Bretonia. I struck a deal with a local Gaian: 15,800 units of iridium in exchange for 15,800 units of super alloy, with credits added on top to balance things out.
The transfer itself went smoothly. We loaded the Bulwark in short order, well away from prying eyes in the Galloway Nebula. After that, we went back to using the trade lanes to keep appearances clean.
On our side, we had no trouble at all. For our Order friends, though, it was a different story. They got intercepted by some LSF subgroup — LSS, or something close enough. As far as I know, the Eclipse Vanguard managed to shake them by being economical with the truth. No idea what story they fed them, but it worked. They made it to Holman, then resumed course for Sabah.
That makes two times now that outside forces have tried to interfere with the Order side of the convoy.
Starting to smell fishy.
I’ll make sure the crew is better armed from now on. You never know with the Libertonians.
