While my allegiance is to who provides me with my Orders, My mission to recover Premier Katz...or his remains...continues. To this date, I have found nothing conclusive to point to either his death...or to show he remains alive.
However, I have not given up, and do not intent too, until I find out, one way or another. Unity I agree with...but we all need closure if he is indeed dead. I do not relish the idea that our beloved Ikon is stranded on some world, or in hostile hands, looking at the sky, waiting for us to come rescue him - and while we all content ourselves with "he's dead" and get on with our lives.
At the moment, I have a small scouting force that is combing anti-spinward of center, and pushing out, in a search grid from his last known location. We havent found anything yet...
***BROADCAST ON ALL CHANNELS INSIDE THE COALITION***
Comrades
We
are
whole
again!
The sickness that has plagued us has been cut out! Those that defy the will of Katz have been cast out.
Katz lives Again!
Katz lives Again!
His coming is announced, sung, and due. He comes with the gathering storm, eclipsing those that rose before.
Read the Katz Manifesto to know his will, feel the chorus of a million of our children, comrades and brothers all chanting the same thing.
Katz Lives Again!
Feel it rise into a crescendo of noise.
KATZ LIVES AGAIN!
The Ikon, my Ikon
Long my Katz our Ikon Inspire us!
Shining in Glory for all Comrades to See!
Through the Days Dark and Stormy he leads us!
To strike down the Barbaric hordes!
Ikon of Ikons!
Ikon of the Coalition!

Attention Nuggets.
You may of passed the initial trials on-board the Trotsky, but you're not done yet. As is traditional for every pilot of the Coalition you are to begin your pilgrimage to the wreck of the Hispania in Omicron Alpha where the Coalition can trace its origins. Hidden in one of the derelict cryo-pods is a transponder in which you will record your name and then return.
You'll be going deep into enemy territory so consider this a test of your abilities. Failure means death at the hands of the Outcasts.
Since Comrade Dubovik has already completed this assignment, I hereby award him the Hispania Memorium.
As a side-note Nuggets, ensure you have both an Insurgent and a Revolution Bomber at your disposal.

RE: Horus Bellamy
Hello, Gentlemen,
I don't send messages unless it's important but one of your men, I believe a Horus Bellamy, just landed his ship just outside of the medical center. His ship is in pretty bad shape and our fire crews extinguished that. The ship has been blocked off and is under guard until you arrive to take it and do whatever you may do with it. No one here will touch it.
As to the pilot, he's in pretty bad shape. One punctured lung, the other about to collapse, burns all over him and several broken bones are but a start. Any medical files you may have on him will help but for now, I will be able to handle things. Once I get him stable, I can update you.
As my Insurgent was finally repaired from the last battle with Corsairs, I decided to visit the Hispania and see how the Coalition people arrived at Sirius. I took the quickest way I know, through Omicrons. The trip wasn't bad, everything was fine except for one thing. My vessel got moderately damaged due to the radiation in Omega 41. I successfully arrived at Alpha, visited the Hispania while doing my best not to get detected and safely made my way back to Omegas.

Despite the House plots, the assassination attempts, the savagery and the counter-revolutionary dream.
I live.
This is a lesson that reverberates through every city in the Coalition, every dome, every hall and ever station.
You cannot kill our hope.
So I have returned, never to leave your side again.
The Houses sought to destroy me, to destroy the alliances that have built our great nation, but they have only made us stronger. They have made us an undivided people, a stronger people, the time has come to take what is ours, to ignite the fires of revolution across the houses, and take no quarter.
We do not yield, we do not waiver, we do not dither in the shadows rubbing our hands and cackling like loons.
We are the Coalition, we are the true force of justice in Sirius, and we will not be broken.
When the Volkhan was vanquished, I took his title.
Ikon of Ikons, the true Ikon.
This is my revolution, it is my gift to you, the people of the Coalition. Carry forward the word to every House Capital, and make sure that they know.
Katz has risen, the Ikon of Ikons comes!
For the Revolution!

Attention all pilots of the Fighter Corps!
I am very pleased to announce that production on the XKR Line has begun! After many delays the XKR's are now entering their production phase. Barring any unexpected delays, the first XKR's will reach the Fighter Corps within a day or two. A complete scrapping of the KSD Line will occur when we are sure that the XKR's will not be delayed again. All pilots are instructed to empty our their vessels of personal belongings, "Gentlemen's" Magazines, and so on.
As a side-note, I hereby award Junior Lieutenant Carter with the Hispania Memorium.
That is all Comrades, prepare for Operation: Red Rising

This event is a prime example to where the working class always overcome the greedy government and their pets. In this case, it is against the fascist Rheinland nation.
At approximately 1100 sirius time, I took the Social Credit out for a routine patrol. After heading to Omega-7 and finding all is well I managed to run into a Kruger mining group. After having a little chat with our friends, I was informed by the Kruger pilot that there were no pirates and I left them be. Not shortly after I left I recieved a private comms from the Kruger informing me (under the radar) that an RNC was in system. This tip possibly managed to save my ship and my crew. I later found RNC-Konigsberg looking for trouble, and not long after I found him on my scanners, he moved into battle positions. Naturally, I ordered my crew to battlestations and sent out an SoS to Commandante Rhade, who showed up just in time to help me engaged the RNC cruiser. Using guerilla tactics, we slowly managed to put the RNC in a corner, and finally finished him off as the Sierra Mastra arrived. A small but meaningful victory for the Coalition. I returned to base to repair the Social Credit. That thing's been through hell.

---Communications Opened---
Yes it is true that the New XKR fighters are being delivered to Zvedsney Gorodok as we speak.
These fighters are a complex amalgam of dangerous and potent technologies, and will require extensive cross-training from all fighter pilots to master.
The Bio-Neural Direct Interface system will give you unparalleled control over these agile vessels, and the slender attack profiles will give the SCRA an edge long missed in battle.
Use these weapons well.
Already production is on the way for Field variants of the fighter, and I expect a full shakedown report from all pilots on how their fighters handled.
All Storms are currently updated to EV-0 standards, and the last of the Typhoon class vessels are being retired.
Yes, the CPW-Kurt Eisner and the CPW-Comintern are making their way to Sevastapol depot for final decommissioning, as their replacements will take station, and adopt the names of their predecessors in a generational hand off years in the making.
I would like to thank the Ikon for his hand in these fighters, Colonel Razin for being the first man to fly one. I would like to thank each of the men who bled and sweated and died in the Hybrid Odins to give us the chance to perfect the XKR series. And most of all I would like to thank myself, because, well... I bloody earned it.
For the Revolution, and the True Ikon!
