Introducing Miss Mckenzie

So some of you may know me or have met me in space recently, I am very knew to the Guild and it has been a honour flying with the Guild the past few days. I have met Miss Julia Henderson.I would just like to introduce myself to the members of the Guild and pilots who I have not met yet.

I am Alexandra Mckenzie, I am 22 years of age and I am from Bretonia. I was born on Planet New London, and I have studied various topics while being in university on the universty of New London. I am a single lady, and I have joined the Guild with my dad Ross Mckenzie and baby sisters Sophie and Amy. They are twins and they are the most amazing girls in the world, they are 16 years off age and were both born on Planet New London as well.

Sadly our dad Ross, he is our ownly parent, our mother died while in labor with Sophie and Amy. *starts to get teary eyed" If you would ever like to fly along side me or would like me as your wing man, I will always be there unless something serious has happened. Im sorry I will get back on track.

Combat Report

So were do I start with this Combat Report. Well firstly my first day flying under the IMG Banner, I had my first encoutner with a hostile vessel. That hostile was under the callsign of "Kostas_Theofile". Lucky for me my vessel was kitten out just how I like it and made this petty Outcast scum eat one of my lovely Nuclear Mines. His vessel exploded but luckily for him, he got into his escape pod before his ship went up in flames. After that duel, I headed back to Java for my repairs that I took and called it a night for my patrol.

My second patrol flying under the IMG banner was rather hetic, It started off with getting emergency transmission through from my dad, from the Ironhide transport saying there is high Outcast activity in Tau 37, Freeport 10. That high Outcast activity consisted off 3 Outcast Storta's, 1 Outcast Bomber, 1 Outcast Fighter. I put out an emergency transmission to all nearby IMG support vessels. Then I stupidly engaged all the Outcasts vessels near Freeport 10. I noticed the Bomber was the easiest target for me and engaged it, luckily reinforcements arrived quickly.

The bomber was destroyed moments later , noticing there was a Outcast Storta metres away from my rear. I entered evasive manuvers to escape his fire. Drawing the fire from one of the three Storta's, I continue to assist my fellow pilots. I would like to say a massive thank you for the support and covering fire from the IMG tagged vessel "IMG||GPV-Pioneer's.Fate". If my records and guncam images are correct, the Captain of this vessel managed to destroy two Outcast Storta's within minutes. I believe they deserve a medal or an award off some sort. I know it is not my say, but they sure in hell deserve it.

Convoy Report

I would also like to report one more thing, I am very proud of what i successfully completely yestarday afternoon. That was sucessfully escorting and scouting a convoy of six transporters from Tau 23 all the way through into Rheinland Space, Planet New Berlin. I solo escorted and scouted all six transporters each filled with over 4000k Niobium Ore. I was very proud with my self. But before we set off and headed out, we was under attack just outside of Java, by a lone pirate. His callsign was "Ritt.Fonzo". He was no match for me and the ALG, he was destroyed in moments. Once again my wonderful Nuclear Mine came in handy and made that petty pirate exploded, sadly he managed to escape into his escape pod. Apart from this lone pirate, the escort was very successfull and all movers got to New Berlin safe and secure.

**Taps receiver**, curses then mutters "I hope this thing works"

To the fellows who were traveling from Tau-23 to Omega-5 the other day, I hope you are well and I apologize for failing to meet you there. It was my first time venturing into the omega systems and I was forced into a jumphole after an unidentified freelance pilot fired on my ship in Bretonia.

I am sending this message from a Hessian base in one of the Omega systems, I am quite lost and my hosts are reluctant to trust me with their star charts, it is hard to fault them for that. Between the radiation, the minefield and the corsair attacks, I had to land before my ship fell apart. I am waiting for the corsairs to move on and trying to get this broken thing spaceworthy again. My old ship is beyond repair but I was able to trade the medical supplies I was hauling for a fixerupper:


Unfortunately its navigation computer is woefully outdated and I am hesitant to risk wandering through more mines and radiation to find the jump holes myself. I've already gone through a few only to end up in circles. I need coordinates to follow that will get me from Vernheim base to Omega-5, please guys, don't leave me stranded out here

PS: If you can manage it, try to reply directly to my ship and not the base itself, I doubt my hosts would be too happy about excessive messages flying about

Combat Report

This passed week within the Tau's has been very hectic and had alot of mayhem and havok that has awoken many of our pilots. Many of our pilots and scared of even leaving there cabines on Java due to the massarce that has accured over the passed few days.

My report is simple, many of our ships have gone down to the Junker Maurders and the group with the callsign Y|-.

I have faught along side many strong, fearless pilots these passed few days, we have lost many of our finest pilots. Some of them were my wing men and women, they will be remembered. Onboard my Nyx we had our guncam upgraded so it would shoot images faster, smoother and being able to capture more. Ive been testing it out and I have found out alot of interesting stuff about these ships, there are other things you should look at while your there.

I have assisted with three kills, that was comfirmed during my flight and patrols, I may have assisted with more but I may have taken heavy damage or was destroyed before I was able to take any photo evidence. Ontop of that I destroyed a lone pirate flying a Sabre earlier this fine day, I also managed to destroy my Nyx but luckily one of the kind ALG pilots tractored my escape pod and took me back to Java Station.

There was a recently battle going on and I witnessed a friendly fire, there is just one image of this as it is a very said topic, luckily for us we tractored our fellow pilots escape pod in and got him back to safetly, before we took any more casualties.


My lastest patrol this evening, and the last one before I hit the bar for a well deserved drink, I found something rather interesting about 10 k from Java Station. It was more of a small fleet of aliens. Yes Aliens I say, there are many images and cargo scans of the vessels, I couldn't get much, but I know I was being threatened for us being at war with the Outcasts. Hmm or it might just be that we are stopping those Outcast Scum from Cardimine Smuggling.

All guncam images taken, and all transponders and ships readings on my scanner have been uploaded, Cargo holds and other information has been uploaded.

**** SENDER: Laura Huntington ****

**** TO: IMG Guildcomms ****

The Taus are on fire. Have been for days now. We were not doing too well in the first fights and I have been shot down twice, but we are turning it around. In the last 24 hours we inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, for the first time larger than we suffered.

Today I claim these kills on our enemies:











That was the first time that we did not only hold out against the flood, but also took out quite a number. Alexandra added a JM| Pelican to the kill-list with a well-aimed snac hit.



Raymon took out some more Outcasts that were trying to assist the Junkers. Our today's combat performance was great, also because an ALG Battle-Annapurna was fending off the Junker Pelicans.

In earlier engagements, I managed a few more kills:

This Marauder Recycler had all his equipment blown off and decided to take a sunbath. Didn't end well.



The Missile Gunboat of the Cardi Girls helped our Defense Wing by this nice shot. I guess this is a free claim for us all.




Together with the Freelancer Renee Thorpe we intercepted a Cardamine smuggler. He did not cooperate, so we scrapped him. I let the Freelancer take the last hits, then I made sure the cargo was destroyed. He will claim the kill later.





This concludes my report.

Little to report in the Omegas. We do our patrol duty and try to keep an eye on the Omegas. The only noteworthy mission encounter was a JM| at Freeport 1 trying to play all nice and dandy "Friendly Junker". Needless to say, I ruined his show.

Combat Report

During my recent patrols I have encounter various ships and pilots, I have come in contact with a Coalition Gunship . Tovarisch Capitan Katyusha. He was the captain of the CPW Pravada. Myself and Tess Mi'Lohk intercepted this vessel close to Java Station. We spoke with the Captain for a little while and asked what his business was here in Tau 23 and he was just on a Coalition Intelligence and Recon Mission. Once he finished his missed which was exploring Tau 23 for anomoly's, jumpgates, stations and anything else he could find. Myself and Tess escorted this fairly kind Coalition Captain to the Kyushu Jump Hole where we left him to be on his way, This Captain did not cause any trouble towards us but for safety we brought the right equipment for the job to deal with him just incase.

There have also been many group fights just outside of Java, we have put up a real good fight towards those Junker Marauders and there allies, hopefully we can keep fighting how we are and once again be able to get our operations done and complete safetly without any casaulties. We have all been flying superb and I am up for any of you to fly with me and be my wingman.

Tau Fast Response

This very evening has been a worry and a scare for many of the IMG pilots. Miss Laura Huntington was attacked, there was a former freindly pilot to the IMG that tried to assasinate her. She was escorting three transports transporting Niobium Ore from Tau 23 through Kusari.

I have an distress call through from Miss Laura Huntington's ship, and it seemed like an emergency, I quickly started up my Nyx and left Java to head straight to her position. She wasin the center of Kusari, In New Tokyo where I found her at Shinagawa Station. When I arrived at this location the distress call came from there where a few Kusari Naval Force Patrols close by and in the distance but on my scanner I picked up a few contacts.

One of the contacts was well known by the IMG and the transponder of this ship was Renee Thorpes. Yes I said it, Renee Thorpes. What a traitor. He will not touch or come close to any of the IMG Installations ever again or close to any of our pilots, I will protect every IMG pilot I can and patrol around the Tau's twice as much as I am now for the protection of our people.

The second contact was unknown to me, the transponder read as Naki Yamo. I believe this was a Blood Dragon Katana Fighter Vessel. They were around 10k from Shinagawa Station when I finally located Miss Laura Huntington. Soon as I had her close by we headed towards New Tokyo and I escorted her out of New Tokyo.

At this point we transmissioned a few more fighter pilots to meet and RV at New Tokyo Jump Gate within Kyushu, that was were we met Deathwatch and Tess Mi'Lohk. We managed to escort Miss Laura Huntington back to Java Station, safetly and secure, Im unsure if she took any kind of damage though, but my guncam images show that her ship was still fly able to Java.

[Frade]

*Incoming Transmission*
*Pilot ID Frade Rand*
*Java Station*

Hello there I hope this transmission arrives to you intact, I would like to introduce my self formally I am one of your new pilots recently recruited in the Omega 7 system, my name is Frade.Walker and I will be flying along side you all for the foreseeable future, I proud my self in my ability to extract high quality ore from various types of asteroids in some of the moist hostile space in Sirius and as of two days ago I received my license to pilot what I now know as a battle transport. I hope that I can prove my self as a valuable asset to the guild and look forward to flying with you all.

Convoy Report
I can report that I have undertaken my first convoy mission although it was plagued with outcasts, transporting ore from TAU 37 down to Denver without any issues. I was then able to deliver around four holds worth of pharmaceuticals to Rochester for wounded men and women aboard the station before continuing on to the primary mission of delivering industrial hardware to a station in Kepler along side my colleagues. In total around four to five holds of Industrial hardware were unloaded although at times this was delayed due to staffing levels on the station. Upon completing my loads I headed back up to TAU 23 which is where I am sending this message from alongside a well deserved coffee. Overall it was a successful first convoy mission for my self with minimal piracy along the route.
I managed to capture the following images from my ships camera system, uploading them now.

Greetings Fellow IMG,

As promised I have returned. Alas, I am sure all of you are interested in knowing me better so I will brief you and my background so everyone knows where I came from and why I am here.

My name is Gavin Briggs. I was born on Java station 26 years ago. Sadly that day was a terrible day for my family. My father was flying to Java station due to it being the closest safe place he could think of. My mother had gone into labor and he needed to get her to a Med Bay ASAP. During his flight he encountered an Outcast patrol that demanded money he did not have. With my father being an experienced pilot he used the asteroid field to his advantage and out maneuvered the Outcasts. The ship got hit by a lucky missile my mother was hurt quite severely. Upon arrival to Java station my mother was immediately rushed to Medical. Sadly my mother did not survive. The doctors had to cut me out of my mother's dead body before it was too late for me. My father only told me of this day once and I will never forget it.

With my father being a single parent he knew he needed a way to make money. The CEO of IMG contacted my father after he heard about what had happened. He understood that a parent has to be able to support his children and offered him a job as a miner for the IMG. My father accepted and began to work for IMG. I remember that when I was 6 my father would let me come with him on his expeditions when he knew it was safe. I always enjoyed going on expeditions with him. When I was 10 He let me operate one of the mining turrets. I had a blast blowing those rocks to smithereens. My father then knew that he needed to prepare me for my future and he had started to go out on private expeditions to begin saving to send me to the Flight Academy. When I turned 16, he started to let me fly his ship and teaching me the ropes. I caught on very quickly. I didn't know at the time but he was preparing me for the Academy. I got accepted into the Academy a year early due to my father being friends with the IMG CEO that was a big supporter for the Academy. During my third year I received an emergency transmission. My father had died. He was on an expedition and a band of Outcasts took out the entire convoy. I was devastated. A few days later I received another transmission from my father. It was a bank account that would be open to me upon completion and graduation from the Academy. At the end of the transmission he gave his signature phrase that he always told me growing up, Fotes Fortuna Adiuvat. Meaning fortune favors the bold. It was his motto he lived by while working for IMG. After I graduated for the Academy I went back to Java to see old friends. As I arrived I was surprised that the CEO was in the landing bay waiting to greet me and welcome me back home. He asked if I would meet him in his office later. I agreed and went on to visit my friends. After reminiscing with friends I told them I needed to go to a meeting. I headed to the CEO's office and was ushered in. The CEO told me the complete story about my father. He told me how he was the best miner he had and how he allowed my father to go on solo private mining expeditions in order to save up money for me. I had already received the credits from my father transmission. So I was not sure what he was talking about because if my father was doing private expeditions to save up for me then the numbers didn't add up. The CEO handed me a HoloPad. It scanned my retina and immediately started to transfer a very significant amount of credits to my account. The CEO told me that my father was his best friend and that he trusted him more than any other person. He then told me that my father came to him before his last expedition and asked that he see that I receive this HoloPad if he were not to return. As I was in complete shock as to the amount of money I had just inherited. The CEO offered me a job. He told me that I did not need to accept right away and that if I should ever want it or need it the job would always be available to me. I had always wanted to follow in my father's footsteps and be part of the IMG. They had always been very good to my family while I grew up. I knew I would accept his offer. This is exactly what I did. Upon hearing this good news the CEO told me that I would be leading a mining expedition in Tau-23 to mine Niobium as it was desperately needed on planet New Berlin. I informed him that I didn't have a ship capable of this task at the moment. He told me to check the HoloPad. As I looked it indicated I was the owner of my own mining ship. I told him I would depart immediately. He stopped me and warned me that the Outcasts have been causing major issues in the mining field and to be safe. I just gave him a smirk and told him Fotes Fortuna Adiuvat. He replied with It does indeed.

I was extremely excited that I was about to head my first mining expedition. I briefed my mining team and we headed out to the field. When we arrived at the field we had no signs of Outcasts. But I knew how they like to sneak up on miners. I told my team to make this fast so we could get in and out with out incident. We completed the mining and began to head out to New Berlin. That’s when we got attacked by the Outcasts. I knew that my ship would be the main target and I distracted them and flew off telling the rest of my team to continue with the plan. I began heading back to Java. I got a break from the field and I was able to get away safely. I then got a warning on my scanner that there were two more ships in the direction I was going. I was worried that the Outcasts had finally decided to attack Java so I rushed over. To my surprise I found two IMG ships. I was very relieved. It turned out they were making rounds. They were headed to New Berlin as well. I asked to accompany them. They agreed and here I am now.

Now you guys know my story and reasoning behind joining this Faction. I have deep IMG roots and want to see them grow.

Remember: Fotes Fortuna Adiuvat!

**** SENDER: Julia Morrow, Convoy Leader ****

**** TO: Order, IMG ****

This was crazy shit, I swear. We are lucky to have made it out intact. For some reason our mission route led us via O80, Alpha, Beta, Eta and then Sigmas, then back into the Omicrons, to Delta then to Zeta.

On the way back, we went through the Tohoku, Chugoku, Nagano corridor, which also was very scary, especially Tohoku looked innocent on the maps. It was not. Definitely.

Anyway, we delivered the full cargo. Your Order Agent can prove it, as can the docking master at the Zeta base.

Departure from Tau 37:
We started off at the Freeport in Tau 37. Everything seemed clear and easy. A mistake to think that.




Passing Omicron Alpha:
An interesting sight, we sped through on a high altitude cruise to avoid detection.




Warship Attack in Omicron Eta:
Jumping in, I was greeted by an Outcast Cruiser and Gunboat that roughened up the Cherry Kiss pretty badly. I managed to get out of range, while Cruiser Razors flew past.




Close Escape:
Eta seems to be a bad warzone. We were engaged by Corsair and Outcast warships, gunboats and in the end even a Dreadnought. It was so bad that I thought my transport was doomed. Only skimming the atmosphere of a planet until the "atmosphere warning" came up, saved me. Later Sunny (from the AFC) saved me by guiding me past 6 Corsair gunboats!




Dropoff of the Cargo in Omicron Zeta at Meskhenet Station:
All transports made it intact, the cargo was delivered to the docking master. We vacated the system afterwards, as ordered by the Order Agent.




Wrong Hole Taken to Unknown System:
Not knowing the route, I passed a jumphole, selected it and jumped. We left after the Order commander told us to move out. Sounded serious, so we complied of course immediately.




Horrible Sight of Planet Toledo and the Isis:
Toledo was a horrible sight. The Order Agent told us the story and informed us about the betrayal of the Core against all of humanity. I'll keep that in mind for the future. Seeing the sight of the volcanic desert left showed how bad the dangers are that lurk out there.




Tohoku Rock Formation
This rock formation looked strange. There seems to be something in that split open rock, but we did not investigate and just hurried through, not taking any more risks.

Convoy Report

Hello there, kiddies! The Bandit here. Just a report of the first few convoys I participated.

The first was a month ago already. We gathered at Java and went down to Neu Berlin.

After that we went on low profile mode to supply that base on Kepler, and then went back to the Taus. Here I am flying outside the dark cloud so to avoyd some nosy junkers parked near Ames.

Three days later another convoy was formed. Here we are departing from Java.

At Kyushu we met a JM| ship. He stopped one of our transports, but gave up when the other ships came to assist.

After we got to Neu Berlin, we went to Omega 7 for some mining. We filled up our transports and formed up again near Freistad.

This time we had no incidents all the way up to Narita and back to Java.

A few days later it was time to put my new Nanga Parbat medium transport to the test. It's a nimble craft indeed. Could be a nice scout for convoys, while being able to haul some cargo at the same time. Here I am, topping up the fuel at Java right before departing.

The ship handled jumpholes, asteroid fields and tradelanes pretty well, and we proceeded with no hostile encounters all the way down to Rheinland.

I have to say it was a nice start. I like flying with you guys.

Bandit out.
