My Corsair brothers aboard the RACS-Havana are rapidly getting up to speed with the Coalition method during a training session of simulated wargames against the RACS-Karl.Marx. After two engagements, the crew of the Havana began to learn how to operate under our methods.

After being deservedly defeated twice by the experienced crew of the Marx under Commodore Stakhanov, we managed to scrape a very close victory against her, bringing the crew and command structure up to Coalition standard.

Thanks are to be extended to Commodore Stakhanov and his professional crew for being very welcoming of the formerly TBH crew of the Havana, and for providing excellent education for myself and my crew.

Forward the Revolution!

Brothers, Sitting Bear found a trader today, docking on Cape Verde. Warned the trader to leave, and order was obeyed.

This is most disturbing. Why could the trader dock on our homelodge? Infiltrators could have snuck aboard. Sitting Bear will perform check, will rip off dock manager's head if inflitrator found. No fool should allow this to happen again!

Later, a =CR= tagged ship was found in the system. He was allowed to pass, but used strange communications, saying "thanx" and other such words. Has english evolved since I was gone?

Otherwise, trained with big chief Miroslav today...performed miserably, but I did upgrade loadout.

Sitting Bear out!

I'm alive, if that's what you all were wondering. Decided to take the time to train the new recruits on Verde then fly around removing the Corsairs from existence. Things have changed of course, decided the Blood Dragons were getting a little to high up in ships from the reports I've been reading.

While in Chugoku, it was very quiet other then some pilot out in the distance. A civilian of some sort, I left her. Until a GC pilot came in to range, she docked on that worthless Dragon base until she launched 5 minutes later. I opened fire, with the girl from the distance. The Blood Dragon Bomber shields were removed quickly and it's shield regenerators drained within seconds. It's hull was more of a challenge, she kept her distance from us fleeing to her Outcast Destroyer friend. She attempted to fight, and failed miserably fleeing to Tau 63.

My ship was damaged from the damn Destroyer, I retreated back to base, taking only a few friends with me.

Right, I'm adding KoF to our list of allowed vessels passing through Omega-52, but keep an eye on them. The reasons for them being allowed includes their passing of intelligence onto us, amongst other reasons.

Our engineers are currently fitting their vessels with remote scanner-jamming receivers so that we can shut down their scans, or alter what they see as they pass through, in order to prevent the unlikely event of them witnessing anything containing state secrets.

So, don't fire on them, but make sure they move along quickly.

Message Trace: Cape Verde Station - Omega 52

A very busy day comrades, and a lot to report. First, I took Natalia out for a shakedown cruise after the refit. She's got 2 PROMETHEUS and 2 TWILIGHTS I've procured from a recent foray into Wilde space. I did not report this excursion, I did not think it needed. The trip was pretty easy, and I got some nice ordinance for it.

On the shakedown, I noticed on long-range scanners Lt. Bjorn way up in the Taus. I hailed my brother-in-arms and asked his sit-rep. Seemed the BAF were being a bit over-zealous in their treatment of our new comrade. I flew up to New London to escort him to Freeport 1 and then to Cape Verde. The BPA didn't really appreciate us there, but were nice enough to shadow us and pretty much stay away. Lt. Commander Baranova came on and hailed me from Verde, and after a situation report, allowed us to proceed. Natalia and I settled in with Lt. Bjorn for a quiet cruise.

This was not to be, however. Shortly after we arrived at the Omega3 JumpGate in Cambridge, Baranova ordered me back to Omega 52. Apparently Gentle of the OPG decided to engage, in our home system. These people are starting to get a little to brave for my tastes. I made best time to the O5 Jumphole after getting Lt. Bjorn through the O3 Jumpgate, and met the pirate in the Cambridge Ice Cloud. With permission from the Lt. Commander, and much to the chagrin of the BPA, I engaged.

Natalia put up a good fight, but the Titan was tough for her. But the Cardamine-sucking pirate's shields succumbed to a minirazor shot, and a Nuke mine from Natalia combine with a poorly-timed Sunslayer from Gentle lead to his demise.



After that, I'd had enough of the whining from the BPA who had enjoyed the fight while not taking part, I jumped to Omega 5 and made my way back to Cape Verde, where Lt. Commander Baranova was waiting. Just then, Lt. Bjorn made it back, with a fully equipped Tigershark as well.

A KoF Viper MkII came through O52 while Comrade Baranova was outfitting his Bomber from the Warsaw and the Moscow, and I challenged him. He said that he had permission, confirmed by Lt. Commander Baranova, and I let him pass.

Then it was time for some live-fire exercises. Lt. Commander Baranova got me both times, but I feel I am getting more comfortable with Natalia. The del Cids of Miroslav's really did a number on my shields, but I still prefer the damage-dealing over shield damage. This may change. After exercises, we docked for some fuel for the ships and ourselves. Overall a good day.

On a more personal note, I think a planned attack of the Bretonia armed forces and police might be in order. They seem to be a little more arrogant than usual. Maybe it's time to knock those tea-sippin' ninnies down a few pegs.

Lt. Karchov out.

Short report today sirs. Took out the Viper lastnight for a short foray into Dublin system. She needs a name, and I've been spending a lot of time with Natalia to the neglect of my fighter.

I went through Dublin to the Hood, and the race buoys for a little agility training, and was greeted by one Moonswagger. This little guy seemed to be lost, looking for a Gaian base. I told asked if he was a friend of the Revolution, and educated him about our cause. He seemed interested, but not in joining. He did, however, make a donation to the cause, which I've brought here to Canaria.

I've decided to make my report from Canaria. Being on the station gets a little claustrophobic sometimes. Will return soon sirs.

Good work Lieutenant. I've been hearing a lot of good word about you on the grapevine. Keep it up and I imagine you'll hit Lieutenant Commander in no time.

Rock steady out there.

Greetings, comrades. This is my first report for the valiant armies of the Coalition, and a fitting one as an operation deep inside enemy territory has been successfully carried out without danger or threat from the enemy.
Under comrade's Sitting Bear's command we have acquired several intelligence photos of key Alliance bases and locations in Texas.









Right near the end of the patrol two SA fighters shown up in Texas, unfortunately too late to be able to catch us as we made for Barrow with the gathered information. This should help us greatly in picking viable locations to stage assaults on.

Striatov out.

Greetings sirs, I come to you with bad news.

There seems to be a bug in both of my craft, ViperII and Natalia. The Techs cannot figure out whats wrong without a complete teardown and rebuild of both craft. Until then, I am stuck at Barrow sitting on my thumbs.

If there is anything that Command would like me to do, I would appreciate anything to help the Revolution.

If not, I am requesting permission to visit my family on Pittsburgh. I can book passage there and back. If this is not possible, or authorized, I am OK with that, but I would like to see my family.

Awaiting your reply.
Lt. Karchov out.
