Hello Christian,

We have finished our talks with the TAZ according to the Hyperion, so here is my little heads up about it.

Since my last transmission, two more locals joined this meeting, namely Mr. Eric Stone and a little bit later Doc Holliday himself. Until the arrival of the latter, I can only describe these talks as hectic. We have run the same circles over and over, they barely wanted to understand our concerns, mainly the geographical stance of Baffin and the closeness of Gallia. Indicating the problems to them, we usually received accusations and “you also don’t have better stance” answers. Plus, we had to listen such nonsenses like we are allying with the Gauls or we exposed the mentioned vessel to the Order.

Anyway, the talks turned into the required tone when Mr. Holliday arrived. He called to order his associates, making a better atmosphere for the rest of the conversation. He proposed another option that they would use the ship for humanitarian purposes, putting it on the ranks of his Med Force fleet, I assume. He stated that with those medical specifications, the ship wouldn’t be seen as a hostile entity. He assured us that the Leviathan would never be used as an aggressor. Also, he believes they have the capability to hide it well. To be honest, I still doubt in this part as my observations are different according to that region.

That is all broadly, for now. Upon my return we can discuss it in a more detailed manner personally.

I will get in touch with you again, when that Zoner assembly is over. Until then, stay safe.

Quiron

Greetings my Brothers and Sisters,

Shade reporting. Today I was taking a short flight in my personal shuttle craft in Omicron 74. Shortly after I had launched my flight, my vessel was experiencing some power fluctuations in its primary drive system. So I had set the navigational computer to take me to the Freeport 11 while I was addressing the problem. The next thing I know the threat computer warning alarm started blaring. I ran back to the controls and what do I see but a foul Nomad vessel and it had started to engage me. I took evasive actions trying to dodge it weapons fire. As I was doing this I saw a Corsair Dreadnaught flying in the general area. It had started to transmit a signal, that I mistook as a message of aid on my behalf. So I flew my vessel towards it but then it became obvious that its message was not to me...it was to the Nomad! Asking if it needed help dealing with me...
The next thing I know the captain of the Sair Dread put out a warning that if I kept flying around the ship it was going to open fire on me. The Corsair message also stated that the Nomad promised immortality and this was the reason that they were working together. My shuttle stood no chance against the Gunboat sized Nomad vessel alone, but with the Dreadnaught there I knew I was in trouble. So I punched my thrusters to the max setting and attempted to flee the area.... The Nomad vessel was well armed and well armored but in terms of speed it had nothing on my shuttle. I was able to make to the Freeport and dock. This is a dangerous situation my brothers and sisters. I have sustained several injuries during my escape, nothing life threatening but I feel like I have been hit with a sledge hammer. We need to keep an eye out and be vigilant in these times. I wish you all safe flights. I will be attempting to fix the communications logs so I can at least show you the comms traffic during this situation. It may be some time but I will provide them as soon as I can.

Shade out...

Update: I was able to get the communications logs downloaded from my vessel. Here they are

Greetings my fellow Phoenix

Today had some interesting events. As I was sitting down to have a drink with Capt. McCool, we received an urgent broadcast indicating that long range sensors picked up Nomad signals. Within minutes, had the Ingenuus prepped and ready for flight. Once we undocked from PSP, we joined with the Defiant, pilot Jonathan'Roberts, and the Phoenix Media ship. There also was a Zoner Alliance home ship, the Alabama, assisting in the defense as well, as shown here. Eventually an Order pilot, call sign "Bombyx" joined as well.

After the Defiant and others patrolled the stations perimeters, a K'Hara scout showed itself. It flew within 8 kilometers of the station, and quickly left. After regrouping, we decided to follow and prevent a larger fleet of nomads that were amassing near the Iota JH from coming to our station. When we reached the asteroid field near the jumphole, scanners picked up no enemy ships, as shown here.

Defiant and pilot Roberts scouted some more, and eventually found the nomad ships amassing near the Delta jumphole. Then started the fight. Among the nomads that engaged us, I was able to pick up individual signals from the Nomads, chiefly K'Hara|K'Lunara and K'Hara|Naaru. We unfortunately had a causality when the Defiant was hit with one of our main guns from the Ingenuus. Luckily, we were able to tractor in his escape pod, so captain Danger is safe and sound. Soon after, we had Repair-Vessel-101 come in and supplied us with much needed nanobots and shieldbots to help us against the bombers attacking us. After a long and rather uneventful battle, the Nomad fighters, outgunned against our home ships, fled back to Iota. Besides the destruction of the Defiant, we have no losses to report. Phoenix Spaceport is safe and sound for now.

Hey there fellas

Cierra Hernshaw here. Wanted to pop in and say hi before I headed out for another route for Capt. McCool. That man... always needs something, or is always drunk. *Chuckles* I don't mind though. I like the adventure!

Anyway, I saw something that took me back today while bringing ore to Livadia Palace. I managed to send out a probe from my ship and snapped this picture:

Probe Cam 1

If I'm not mistaken or completely losing, that's a Corsair cruiser, right? In Omicron 74?! I thought they weren't allowed to bring their heavy ships into Zoner systems, especially 74? I hope I'm wrong and just being paranoid. I don't mind people and their business, but seeing a warship like that on our doorstep is... freakin' me out.

Please let me know if I am mistaken, so I can rest easy at night! Otherwise, a little nerve racking to see, wouldn't you say? *Shudders*

My fellow Phoenix's

I am very pleased to report that after several convoys and as many life threatening trips into Gaul controlled space, we have obtained the last of the Cryocubes necessary to complete Core level Two on Livadia Palace.

As I said it was really a team effort, requiring many convoys through many dangerous systems.



The bulk of the work was done by (\^/)Grey.Eminence and her 2nd Officer Vincent Chase who deserves most of kudos for the effort. The (\^/)Royal.Flush was present for the majority of the voyages as well as a number of other Phoenix Whales and other transports and escort vessels. All who were involved should be commended for their efforts in this venture.

We were able to the Cryos primarily from Bourbon Base, a Unione Course station in Burgundy and Lodeve Space Port in Languedoc, a Gallic Junkers facility. We are lucky that both groups did not mind helping out a few Zoners from Sirius.





I would also like to point out that we did not suffer a single casualty during the endeavor. There were however, several close calls, highlighted in the final run for the last few hundred needed to complete the project.



The Commanders of the (\^/)Equilibrium and (\^/)Demeter acted most professional, even after being ambushed by several Gallic Capital vessels on the return trip, reminding us all in the heavy risk in acquiring this commodity.

Once all the required materials had been assembled, our engineering teams at Livadia Palace a triple shift. The upgrade was complete in short order, coming online in record time.



This is but the end of our first stage in our progress in Omicron-74. We now look ahead to the beginning of development of Core 3. I hope the next step in our construction will run as smoothly as the last, with no loss of ship or life as well as with a speedy supply chain.

Greetings my Brothers and Sisters, Shade reporting.

Today a very distressing situation occurred in Omicron-74. Upon the launch of my vessel, long range scans indicated some major disturbances near the jump hole to Omicron Kappa. I proceeded with cation, as I was uncertain of what was going on. Once I came closer an AI vessel warned me that there was a hostile vessel that had been attacking Zoner vessels in Omicron Kappa. Suddenly an Order battleship called: [Order]-Saitos jumped into the system. Once it was cleared the jump holes event horizon, it immediately opened fire on my vessel. I altered course and fell back as I was not seeking any problems and honestly did not know how to react.

I contacted several Order vessels that were in Omicron Delta about the event. Admiral Golanski himself showed up, with another Order vessel to provide aid for me. Shorty before his arrival though, two Corsair vessels that had been in the area surprisingly came to my aid as well. The Corsair vessel were named: Black_Jackk and Black_Starr, the Order vessel kept firing random shots at these Corsair vessels and both Captain's held back from out right destroying the vessel. Once the Admiral got there things quickly escalated and the rogue Order vessel was destroyed.

Then pilots of the Zoner Alliance showed up and had a serious problem with the Sair vessels. The ZA had accused them of attacking several ZA vessels shortly before they had come to my aid. The ZA vessels and the Sair ships almost exchanged fire and I tried to convince the ZA pilots to seek a peaceful solution to their claim. The Sairs ended up leaving without incident, but I assure you it was far to close to a battle. I sent messages to the Corsairs and thanked them for their help. I also tried to warn the pilots of the ZA about the dark times of the past when the Sairs were at war with us Omicroners. Again they do not listen to a lesson we all hard to learn the hard way. Quiron and Roberts were both present during our exchange with the ZA shortly after the destruction of the rouge Order ship. Several insults were sent our way by the ZA during the exchange. This matters very little to me as they are acting like adolescent children, and as such they seem to think they are immortal. They cannot accept the fact that they are walking down the same path the Omicroners did and they do not understand the horror and suffering of that time. I hope for all of our sakes they do not start a war that they cannot win, under the guise of their so called "Justice" or revenge as I see it... I will provide communication logs from the encounter with the rouge Order ship in this transmission. I hope the best for all of you and safe flying my friends!

**Sigh**

Every time I have an encounter with this so called 'Zoner Alliance' the question of if they even know what a Zoner is becomes more and more prevalent in my mind..

In light of recent events surrounding this group, I have ordered the ships under my command to increase patrols in areas where these 'ZA' frequent, and increase cargo scans on all vessels that are believed to be related to this group.

The cruiser (\^/)Vagabond was in the Delta system preforming said duty, assisted by Security Chief Necroth Shade in a Light Fighter. What we observed was not exactly what we were looking for but in my opinion fits exactly with the complete and total disregard for what we true Zoners stand for in the Omicrons, that is to say peace, civility and non-aggression towards other humans.

<ZA>Alabama, noted as being one of this groups flag vessels, a Nephilim class colony ship was engaged with a Bounty Hunter Battle group close to the Kappa Jumphole. Allthough the battle was nearly over when we arrived I was able to get a image of the destrcton.



When I hailed the <ZA>Alabama and inquired what had led to this firefight, He responded quote, 'Helping out a Friend'. When I protested his actions, reminding him that starting conflicts with Bounty Hunters is not only very Un-Zoner like but as well extremely dangerous for the colonists on board his ship, he departed quickly from the area. We observed him then landing at nearby Yaren Base, a Corsair facility. It should also be noted that he had tractored in all the survivors from his unprovoked attack against the Hunters, and It is well known that the Corsair Empire pays a high price for captured Bounty Hunters. I can only assume that he sold the survivors off there like cattle, condemning them to a life of slavery or even worse fates.

As the primary Zoner group, we need to condemn the actions of these '<'ZA>' and their affiliated vessels. The Nephilim was never intended for use as a battleship in its original configuration, and are mostly staffed by civilian personnel and colonists looking to create a better life for themselves away from house space. Furthermore, the sheer fact that they were engaged with Bounty Hunter Guild ships can only go to further strain our relations with that group which as a whole has been frosty at best.

Brother and Sisters,

It seems the situation has become grim indeed. The [ZA] have finally gone over the edge and my greatest fear has been realized. As head of security for our assets, I ask that all available vessels report to Omicron-74. We need to start evacuation protocols on all non-combatants from our stations. Also I suggest we institute a level 6 security screening protocol on all docking vessels to insure our security. This will only apply to all newer guests and not our trusted allies seeking refuge. This reminds me of the dark times we once faced before the great Omicroner exodus. This time it is not from an enemy in a neighboring system this time it is from within Omicron-74. I ask that we also start regular patrols of the system to escort any vessel seeking passage that may be at risk. I implore you brothers and sisters to not let these young fools boil your blood...remain calm. Do not fire unless your vessel is under direct attack and if this happens contact any vessel that may provide aid for you and your crews. Be safe out there, stick together and we will prevail.

Shade out...

Greetings my brothers and sisters, Shade reporting...

Things in Omicron-74 as still in a state of disarray due to the hostile actions of the so called "Zoner Alliance". Our previous evacuation of all non-essential personal from Livadia Palace paid off. There were still many casualties but several hundred people were saved due to this action. Our level 6 security protocol is still in complete effect on Livadia shipyard and I don't see a reduction in this for a while due to the current "circumstance".

I have also put in orders from the work crews to establish several additional levels of security for the station as sad as it is. Things are progressing ahead of schedule as our people are working diligently on these upgrades. I will not go into great detail on the upgrades in this transmission as most of it is rather boring. Though I long for those "boring" days of working on stations, ship drive systems and communications arrays. Now most of my work seems to be on weapon systems and battle damage but I digress.

As head of security I have several duties, this includes setting up training sessions for our pilots. I have neglected this duty for some time as I guess I was complacent in my duties. I never really thought we would actively need combat training again as it was needed in the past. But things seem to becoming worse every day, so now it is time to make some changes. My position dictates this and I will not let you down my brothers and sisters.

Hence forth, all Phoenix pilots are requested to attend training. Times and locations of the training shall be kept secret until the event and provided via the S.K.Y.P.E. protocol. This will keep our tactics a secret from those who would dare to harm us. It will be split into several types of training due to the nature of thing in Omicron-74.

The training will will do is as follows:
1. Single combat training (Fighters and bombers)
2. Multiple combatant training (Fighters and Bombers)
3. Gunboat training (Will cover all types of vessels)
4. Capital ship and fleet tactics training for all home vessels and their fighter escorts.

Also we need to increase our patrols in the following systems. Omicron Theta, Omicron-74, Omicron Kappa, Omicron Delta and Omicron Zeta. There have been many independent vessels coming to the aid of this so called "Zoner Alliance". These increased patrols will help to identify hostile vessels and also increase our overall presence in these area. You will need to keep on your toes out there people, as it is difficult to know who may open fire on you at any given point so keep vigilant. We have lot several ships in the last few day due to these hostile vessels.

I bid you all the best, keep your wits about you out there. Shade out...
