INCOMING TRANSMISSION
COMM ID: Commissar-Commander Alvin Katz SCRA
LOCATION: Omega-52 Zvezdny Gorodok Звёздный городок
TARGET ID: SCRA High Command/ all assets
I would start this report by making two diplomatic announcements.
The first is the solidification of ties to the Order. We are moving towards a full alliance, treat the order with respect, if they are in trouble, aid them. Together we are a thin line standing against the alien menace, and the menace of Cardamine, dont forget your duty to stopping that vile poison.
Secondly, I have to announce a trade agreement has been reached with the TAZ.
Their vessels will begin requesting trade visas with Omega-52, to ship in wine and Tobacco. This means that they will be applying for Visas with their transport/freighter class vessels ONLY.
Standard visa applications apply, and the only Zoner trading vessels granted visas will be TAZ affiliated.
This is their restrictions:
-Transport ships ONLY!! NO fighter type ships or cap ships. If you are under escort, you're escort will have to wait outside their system. If you are caught with a fighter or cap ship in their space, you will be arrested and subject to their law. I have heard a Coalition Gulag is not a fun place to be.
-If you use it as a trade route, don't explore, just fly through. If ordered to stop, do so. Again, their laws apply.
-If you are trading, conduct your business and go.
-Respect their guests in there.
In exchange we have the following permissions:
-If you see a Coalition member in Baffin, they are allowed to be there but are subject to our laws as well and have been granted docking at Shasta.
That means no shooting in Baffin, you are guests there. I dont care what happens in Baffin. You open fire with your guns, and I will shoot you myself when you return to Starbase!
Alternatively if you see any Zoner breaking the above rules in our system terminate them, bring them aboard Starbase where they will stand trial for espionage/counter revolutionary behaviour.
The Revolution has gained not one, but two allies here today.
Also it should be noted that for two independent operations today, Captain Luis Gallentra and Lt. Stenka Razin are both awarded the Halo of Valour for exceptional flying in the face of difficulties.
Lt. Razin for engaging Four Benitez Corsairs after the Social Credit encountered ion interference. Agreeing and engaging in honourable combat with Rodrigo Benitez, a feat witnessed by both myself and Lt. Petrov.
Captian Gallentra for his outstanding operations aboard one of our Destroyers, he successfully shot down a gunboat and two bombers, as well as causing an Corsair dreadnought to tuck tail and run.
For the Revolution, and for Grand Admiral MacIntosh!
