Acknowledged, Charles. Keep up the preparations, as you have mentioned we are desperate requiring more room for colonists, so, if anything would go without problem expect first drop offs in a several days. You are free to use moored homeship Theia as temporary shelter for colonists in time of construction and likewise its cargohold can be stockpiled with incoming materials. It's in your command.

Alec, provide enough of defensive ships to ensure absolute safety of the colony and its habitants. That's your main objective but also, you will need to find spare escort ships up to gungoat size to ensure safety of transportation, as there will be many deliveries, I believe it would be a waste of resources to attach to every transport a significant amount of escort ships, so set steady patrolling from Kadesh to Freeport 9, if you have anything to add, or you have questions feel free to contact me anytime. Act based on the situation, if it would drastically change in worst scenario, you know what to do. You have freedom of action.

Dirk, due to scheduled extension works on the Kadesh, we need full capabilities of the Trade department. Our task number one for now - bring all required commodities as fast as possible, so the colonists wouldn’t be strained in such uncomfortable circumstances for a long time. Contact every tradeship captain and inform them to head to the Kadesh now to receive further orders.

Christian,

I have relayed your instructions along to the fleet. Along with a few secondary vessels from Delta Mining Corp.'s dry dock I am certain we will be able to complete this project expeditiously.

Speaking of Delta Mining Corp., the station has been turning a decent profit as of late. I have arraigned for a sizeable transfer of credits from the mine back to Kadesh Orbital which I am sure will come in handy with our new construction.

We are ready to commence sourcing of materials as soon as the order is given.

Christian,

Each transport have now been assigned a single or double sorties of fighters acting as escorts and scouts. Gunboat "Artemis" with wing of bombers has been added to the patrol roster for Freeport 9 and Kadesh, and Cruiser "Polemos" recalled from Omicron Lost to assist. In addition to reduce the length of trade corridor our patrols require to cover, carrier "Athena" has been repositioned in Omicron Zeta, tasked to keep a vigilant watch over the Delta Jumphole. The ship will deploy in that sector, forming a safety point between ports and acting as a temporary outpost.

Remainder of the Core Fleet is currently on perimeter guard over the colony, and few of the ships within are on full readiness alert for rapid deployment if situation requires.

Excellent work everyone. We shall begin works of Kadesh extensions immediately. You are free to contact our allies to speed up our operations. Dirk or Charles, contact other Zoners, maybe they can spare several transports to help us. If not, well - it is still worth to ask.

[puppytaste]

Christian,

I have sent an open comms out on the Zoner used channels as well as a direct message to Order Logistical Command in regards to our need for construction materials for Kadesh Colony. I have received word back from the Order, who have commenced delivery of materials from Akabat, including the very important Hull Segments which are always a difficult and bulky item to transport. Every available Phoenix ship is involved with deliveries now, even the (\^/)Ganymede has made a few trips to Hudson for filtration equipment and will continue to focus on long range cargo runs for the colony.

I am pleased to report that we have received nearly a third of the total required goods to complete the project.

Currently there is roughly 196000 of 280000 remaining units of various goods. A great start but still quite a way to go yet.

I will keep you posted of our progress and any developments that arise.

Jack to the report.

With news of started works on Kadesh I was quite far from Omicrons, in Tau region. I’ve been working for quite a long time on my Bison, so I thought it would be nice to extend my ship fleet with something else with bigger cargo capacity. Oh and well, that news had bumped me while I was on the way from Liberty to Omicrons through Rheinland space… So, before the best, that's a freshly constructed advanced train Taurica, straight from Aland shipyard!

So my first stop was on the Livadia and then Kadesh, to meet our ship standards in customization but also ship integrity was strengthened by capital armor update VIII and equipped with more reliable engines. Shortly after it had departed for its first shipments for Kadesh.

We’ve been working a lot with my fellow brothers and the Order, their hand in shipping some goods is undoubtful, most of the hull panels were brought by them. So shortly after we’ve switched to reinforced alloy from Freeport 11 and currently we are working on industrial hardware from Bruchsal base in Frankfurt.

While I’ve been flying on way back from Bruchsal, some pirate has tried to chase me, so, prior he noticed me, we’ve changed course. Thanks for Junsuriki scanner. Also, look, what we have found - an abandoned station right in middle of Frankfurt system! Shall we pay a visit to it? Perhaps it could contain some valuable equipment. Other than that, its a good spot to wait till I’ve lost the chase.

More reports to come.

Attention to corefleet within Zeta,

Kadesh Orbital Colony is under attack, I order immediate assistance. We’ve been pushing back Nomads so far, but it's unknown for how long we would be able to stand. We require any vessel capable of fighting as it has been a hell and probably it's not over.

Currently Hyperion has to moor with the Kadesh to fulfill minor repairs after a fight, but we already are picking multiple signals from Pohnphei nebula and two of the signals have a major signature, probably its marduk size vessels. I’d like to thank my brother and sisters for their aid in the battle, but It's time to prove yet again that we could defend our new home that we have searched so long against alien threats.

[puppytaste]

Christian,

Seems you have had a harrowing day to say the least. It seems that my thanks to the Order fleet was well deserved, the Omicrons are as dangerous of a region as they have always been.

In regards to that, I am pleased to report that all required commodities and materials needed for the expansion of Kadesh have been delivered, with the Order logistical fleet delivering the last loads of goods just minutes ago. I have gone ahead and passed along our thanks to our allies for their aid in this matter.

Moving along to planning the next phase, I have authorized Mr.Regan at Delta Mining Corp. to begin purchasing Scientific Data to assist our engineers in the planning and development of the final additions onto the colony. Our science vessels are directed to use DMC as a base of operations to launch missions into Omicron Lost, where the scattered energy anomalies found there will provide us with invaluable data in building up Kadesh to withstand anything Omicron Zeta can throw at her, be it another energy storm or alien attack.

Ahoy lads,

Its been some time. Had to wait till we dock on Kadesh, as something went wrong with Apamea’s communications array so I wasn't able to send even a SOS signal in a case… Oh, finest Liberty's technologies…

Anyway, shortly after last shipments I’ve been worked with my fellas on Plastfoam conduits. But before go to Omega-41 and head straight to Freeport 5, we headed to the 11 instead. As I well aware how these Corsair fellas sometimes behave, we loaded our ships with food rations in a first place and flew away to the Crete.

Flight was seem to be nominal, we’ve caught some minor activity in Omicron Kappa, but its not a big business for such ships as Bison. We fought them back and flew away, that was some nice fireworks.

So after our little humanitarian mission, I had hope that Corsairs would be able to return us a favor and let us to tress page Gamma several times, as we needed to make several convoys until we stockpiled everything that Kadesh needed.

Flight to the Freeport 5 was nominal, no piracy or any other activity that would able to threat our operation.

As we moored our beasts on the 5, we decide to take a sleep over there, as its been quite long trip. On next day our Bison were already filled with platform conducts and we headed back to Kadesh. After that we’ve been repeating several runs to the 5 and Arranmore Base but no more problems occur along our path.

To all,

In our latest security review, we have identified Kadesh defences are becoming inadequate, and have been given a priority status for immediate upgrades. The rapid development of the Colony has significantly outgrew the current defence grid is able to handle; originally designed to protect the basic parts of the core station. In our simulations, the exterior weapons mounted on the station are incapable of responding significant threats in a prolonged siege.

To rectify this shortfall, we are planning to deploy additional standalone weaponry platform dedicated to repel any hostile forces. The construction materials required for the upgrade has been passed on to the trade department to procure. Once the platforms has been completed, it would also enable our defence fleet to go on patrol instead of tied up to the docks defending the colony.

On a separate note, I have also received an intelligence notification from our envoy in Ames. A station belonging to our splinter group has left it in disrepair for a significant amount of time, and the closure of Jump Gates from both Liberty and Kusari as also no doubt exacerbated the situation. The site had been known to manufacture hybrid nomad tech and now is showing early signs of imminent termination. I have dispatch a reconnaissance vessel to investigate further.
