Comandantes,

One of our forward observer automated drones uploaded new footage from Omicron Alpha. There seems to be new developments around the system.

a new station was spotted with construction advancing at a rapid pace.

Station with unknown purpose. Structure at above 50% integrity

The drone also uploaded images of a suspicious zoner transport carrying materials used for station construction.

Cargo scan reveals containers loaded with base construction materials

The drone stopped responding shortly after. Ping calls were not answered. Mostly likely, self-destructed to preserve its memory banks from any patrols.

While the zoner ship could only be passing by, its attitude is suspicious, to say the least. Just give the word and we will send our assassins to deliver a message.

I'll be sure to report any further discoveries to the conclave, as usual. I'll be available for any questions in my office at the Sanctum, if that is necessary.

Vida longa,
Tavros

Hola Senors y Senoritas Praetors!

The other day I had El Honor to fly our mighty Leviathan into yet another mighty profitable run of Relicos! But wouldn't you know it, trouble was on the horizon. A very weird nomad approached us at the ruins in Knossos atmosphere, and it was glowing like crazy, crazier than what typical blue squid! See for yourself!

It didn't seem to be outright hostile, but we called for some exterminados nonetheless, you can never trust a squid! And we were right! Sort of...! When our forces tried to destroy the intruder, none of our weapons seemed to have any notable effect, and all of a sudden, actual attack forms started showing out out of nowhere! A massive battle has broken out, with Leviathan and our miners right in the middle of it! What is worse, what was initially just a few fighter-size nomads, turned to small fleets of Cruisers and above!

Our brave Hermanos and Hermanas, as well as some Order ships we managed to call out rallied to our defence and kept the blasted blue calamar at bay while we proceeded with the resourcing operation, Santa Muerte bless their bravery! I prayed for the battle as soon as possible from under the pilot's desk, and just as the Leviathan was about to be fully loaded, the damned aliens turned their ...eyes? Recip... Recepti... THEY STARTED FOCUSING FIRE ON MY HUMBLE DEFENCELESS SELF!

Leviathan taking a glancing shot from beam weaponry

I BARELY managed to make my way out, thankfully them turning their backs on our El Armada proved to be lethal, and from what I've heard over the comms, the aliens were eventually routed, and the mysterious vessel dissapeared without a trace. Most importantly, The Relics were safely brought into Reincarnation, for the glory of the Executor! On that note, I'd like to request extra rations as 'combat bonus', por favor.

Ah shucks, just my luck....

┝┅{Subject: Urgent meeting

We need to speak urgently.

I will be expecting you in Sanctum in 2 standard hours. The matter is sensitive and needs to be conducted in person. Let me give you the preliminary.

As you recall, some months ago, the Roman Praetorian Prefecture of Sirius departed from Corsair space in a surprising and mysterious turn of events. Salazar Caesar and his people left on a ship without a trace. We weren't able to decipher any information until last night when some of my engineers made a breakthrough aboard Ravenna Invicta. They uncovered the cargo, manifest, and personnel on the ship that left. I immediately deleted the files from the base and kept the only copy for myself. It seems our friend Salazar was more informed than I anticipated - enough to take something of great value from me. Enough for me to take a personal interest in his location.

Despite repeated attempts and various methods employed, our men are unable to break the encryption on the data we managed to restore and glean additional information. On a hunch, I asked the team to check if there's any similarity between any of the codes we've encountered in the past from Kusari Naval Intelligence and there was a possible match. You know how he was obessessed with foreign culture. It's not much but it's a lead and I want the ship found - at any cost. Based on preliminary info, it looks like I'll need to use some finesse if I am to get any of the data unlocked. The task is of great importance to me and in such matters - there's only one way to be sure. This is something that I will have to do personally. Before you protest and claim this is a wild chase with no substance - leave the debate for when we meet in my quarters and you have the full picture. I've made up my mind, don't try to change it.

I plan to depart tomorrow. I've acquired a HFX-F1A "Falchion" Border Worlds Fighter in good condition that will do the job. You are one of the few people that know my history prior to Deterrence. I'll use some of my old contacts to improve its capabilities before beginning my search. After that I plan to reach out to some more unorthodox parties. I've already obtained some forged documents under the name of ''Rayne Dassan''. The current ship transponder code will match with the registry as ''Gehenna''. My friend assured me, that it's completely scrubbed. I plan to take extra measures, once my contact in Bretonia is done with it, it will match our databanks as ''Persephone''. I'll stay off the grid and away from our networks at that point. If I do end up in some real trouble though, I'll send a message on open Corsair frequencies with a contact ID of ''Pale Exuberance''. Do keep an eye out.

I'll use the old data from the Ravenna Invicta to gain some favors. It's useless to our enemies, we'll already modified and made complete structural changes, improved its defenses, and swapped all encryptions since Salazar's last used it. It might open some doors for me at no risk to our assets or Corsair interests.

Given the fact that this mission's time-frame is impossible to estimate - that naturally leads me to my next order. Massimo, you have full tactical command. That's right, you are the next Executor. With Lucas, as your second in command to keep you out of trouble. I'm sure the rest of the Conclave will also have your back. I know it's unexpected but I have full faith in you given the recent operational successes. Our smuggling ring and exports are at peak efficiency, our fleet is strong, our faith unshakeable. I am sure both of you will do me proud and lead the Deterrence with success until my return. Or carry on my legacy if I get killed. I wish we had time to celebrate the occasion but things never pan out the way you expect them, si?

I'll be expecting you for the full authorization, data, and all tactical files in my quarters. I need to give you a complete operation debrief before I leave. We'll have some surprises for our amigos mutuos.

Nos vemos en breve,
Ravenna Nagash

Estimados comandantes,

During daily patrols, I intercepted a titan transport with broadcast name "Jormungandr" on sistema Frankfurt. After scanning the enorme cargo hold, I only spotted standard grade materiales de construcción, probably bound to a estación. Nothing worth our time and a ship that size would be troublesome to take down, so I opted to approach in a more amicable way.

a brief exchange later, enough to decode his neuralnet address, I sent him un mensaje. This was señor Jamison's response, apparently to be in charge of the transport.

I hope with this information the señores can reach a much lucrative deal... and that I am properly rewarded, si?

Forever,

Kalimera, commanders.

After private calls with the high command, I'd like to deliver an update regarding the interception of the titan transport.

señor David Jameson agreed to a monthly payment. The payment has been received and is confirmed to be legitimate.

For active raiding parties, our part of the deal forbids us from issuing any further demands to the ship "JGDco.US-Jormungandr" and Redline company ships. Other JGDco ships are fair game. However, show some restraint. Too much pressure breaks the vase.

Deterrence!

Amigos, I bring news,

Our recent raid into Frankfurt uncovered something very unexpected, Kruger Minerals promotes defiance. A titan-class transport disobeyed Estripador's requests. Perhaps the best joke in a while.

I propose we put the fear of death back in them. A few examples should be enough to bring them back to their place. As of such, Kruger Minerals vessels are considered high valued targets until further notice.

Requisitions & Manufacturing

Esteemed artisans of the Imperio,

I write this message to requisition new equipment for our warships. In specific, I request 5 units of Gatling Laser Turrets to be reactivated from our salvage depots in orbit and planet-side, if applicable. The Company shall provide the blueprints and reverse-engineered pieces for the manufacturing of the equipment.

After several battle reports and review, I come to conclusion that the biggest threat to a warship is not the warships of equal or bigger size. It is the smaller ships that have been giving our patrols and liberators much trouble. I vehemently ask that the reactivation of such equipment is done with agility and haste. The sooner we properly defend our warships, the more lives of our hermanos we can save.

I await the project's progress. Any queries shall be forwarded to my personal office in the Sanctum, top spire.

With utmost attention,
Captain Tavros

Conclave

Buenas tardes, members of the Conclave.

Earlier today, I received a report from one of the dockmasters of Ravenna Invicta. A Rheinland corporate transport was interested in buying our relics! I took that with humor. I am not sure if the captain is naive, courageous or just insulting us. But the way he approached the dockmaster seemed serious. So, under this opportunity, I dispatched a gunboat loaded with a twenty-man boarding party to give our new guest a warm welcome.

Our gunboat approached the transport, the Duhandzic, a civilian-made Stork, and ordered the transport to drop its shields. So it did, and the boarding action began:

Trireme Recordings

The captain and his crew are in the brig. His ship is moored and secured.

That concludes my report. I have no interest on the captain and crew, the ship will be a nice trophy. The members of the Conclave can do whatever they see fit with these Rheinlanders.

With Attention,
Tavros

Senors, here's the latest developments,

Our patrols encountered a Hessian and Coalition strike force attempting to destroy a neutral Freelancer science outpost, Mineore Research Center.

While this is not our fight, we shall increase the patrols in the area, with the aim to thin Hessian and Coalition numbers as much as possible. We shall use this situation to our advantage.

Therefore, all fleets have green light to engage enemy forces within the O-11 system. Give no quarter, but keep our losses to a minumum. A full scale response to this situation is not authorized.

Happy hunting.
