Subject: First mining assignment

Dear Sirs,
First of all, I apologize for any omissions in this report, for I am still learning to properly use IMG logging features.

After going to Jakarta Orbital Colony for my first assignment, I was assigned a temporary mining position in Tau-23 northwest niobium fields. I met with the ship 'Porcupine' and the ship 'FlyingBroke' at Java Station space. We then proceeded to the Tau-23 northwest niobium fields without any incidents.

During the mining and loading operation, occasional Outcast Sabre, Gallic Royal Navy and IMG patrols met us and sometimes GRN and Outcasts attacked us, but their light equipment was no match for our shields and defensive weaponry.

Upon filling the ships 'Porcupine' and 'FlyingBroke', both went back, while I attempted to fill our own cargo hold.

Unfortunately I only took the shot when both ships were a bit far from my position.
First run

After this first run, I went back to Java Station to meet two more ships for another mining and transport run on the same fields, namely the 'OreCrusher' and the 'Really.Broke'.

During the second mining and loading operation, again, occasional Outcast Sabre, Gallic Royal Navy patrols met us and sometimes engaged us, but were destroyed or just ignored, since their firepower was no match to our shields.

After the loading operations concluded, both ships were fully loaded.
'OreCrusher' load of 1180 ore units
'Really.Broke' load of 3960 ore units

We then proceeded to Java Station.
Upon reaching Java Station, an Outcast Gunboat that was about 9k from Java, was having a threatening speech regarding our convoy's shipment.
Several ships were then dispatched to engage this gunboat, while I stayed docked at Java Station.
Upon engagement, the Gunboat went further than 15k from Java and I lost all scanner contact with the Outcast Gunboat as well as allied ships engaged on the same fight.

Later, returning allied ships confirmed the enemy gunboat's demise.

Shortly after allies returning to Java, our convoy comprised of 'Lithovore', 'Porcupine' and '[IMG]SpaceBlade' (unable to confirm this call-sign), transported the ore to Liberty via Kusari Space. During flight, the fighter named '[IMG]SpaceBlade' provided escort. Upon reaching Liberty Space and concluding business there, our escort was compensated for its service.

Austin out.
