Sender: MML Administration Recipient: The Order Overwatch Transmission Origin: Maric Metallurgical Labs, Omicron Mu Subject: MML/ALG Presence in Mu
Guten tag, esteemed leaders of The Order Overwatch,
We at Maric Metallurgical Labs (MML) extend our regards and trust this message reaches you in good standing. Operating under the official banner of ALG Waste Disposal, MML has been fortunate to thrive in Omicron Mu, thanks to the environment shaped by your leadership and the contributions of the Eclipse Vanguard. Though our work aligns with The Order’s objectives, we recognize that we have yet to establish direct communication with the Overwatch—a matter we feel is important to address.
Our presence in Omicron Mu has been built on a foundation of trust and understanding. While this has allowed us to contribute meaningfully to The Order's supply lines and technological advancements, we believe that formalizing this relationship could unlock greater potential for collaboration. As such, we wish to open a dialogue to discuss:
The role of MML within Omicron Mu and how our operations align with your broader goals.
Ways we can contribute further to The Order's initiatives.
Opportunities for expanding our operations to better serve our mutual interests.
We are particularly eager to share our plans regarding Azurite Gas. This resource represents a significant opportunity for advanced research and development. We are aiming to use it for scientific breakthroughs that enhance The Order’s equipment and technological capabilities.
However, we understand the sensitivity surrounding Azurite Gas and the potential risks its handling might pose. In light of this, we formally seek Overwatch approval to:
Safely store the gas on M.M.L.
Conduct research into its properties and applications.
Establish secure protocols for its collection and storage.
We assure you that MML remains steadfast in its commitment to security and discretion:
All data and findings remain confined to MML facilities.
Access to our research is limited to trusted allies within The Order.
Our security measures are stringent, designed to prevent leaks or unauthorized access.
We deeply value the trust The Order has placed in us, and we are eager to expand this partnership. To that end, we invite your feedback on our activities and your guidance on how we might align more closely with your needs. Additionally, we welcome inspections of our facilities at your convenience to provide assurance of our operational integrity and security protocols.
We invite you to review our communication channel with Thaan "Doom" Naxan of the Eclipse Vanguard, to verify the strength of our ongoing collaboration.
By fostering this open communication, we aim to deepen our collaboration and contribute even more to the protection and advancement of The Order's mission.
We await your response and look forward to strengthening this relationship.
Mit den besten Grüßen und im fortwährenden Vertrauen, M.M.L. Administration

Operational Future of Maric Metallurgical Labs in Mu
To whom it may concern,
My name is Eddy Narson Colonel within the Order First Fleet Overwatch. ALG Waste Disposal has proved to be a powerful ally in producing refined materials in system. Stations such as Memphis Industrial Compound has been a boon to our production in system. As of now I might go as far as to say they are our primary means of acquiring such resources from 3ed parties.
Your submitted commination logs between yourself and the Order Second fleet battlegroup known as Eclipse does shed some light on why I have been seeing reports of ALG vessels, approaching normal restricted space, crossing my decks. However, given that the Eclipse failed to make the Overwatch aware of these shipments I shall not cast the breach of protocol on you. Instead I rather look on the brighter side of these logs, as a sign that the ALG (and MML) may have a larger part to play in the Overwatch's plans for the future. A future that may prove vary profitable for the ALG, and related factions, as I'm sure you have noticed some of the new Order heavy assists moving in system.
As such the Overwatch is willing to begin negotiations with MML. As you expressed primary interest in Azurite Gas let us start with this. You are correct in your observation that Azurite Gas is controlled commodity and does not lightly leave Order territory. However, given that you wish to make use of it within Omicron Mu this allows some leeway. As such the Order Overwatch will allow Maric Metallurgical Labs' station within Mu to house and make use of Azurite Gas, provided some addental measures are met to the already listed.
[⧫]Submission to random inspection of laboratories researching Azurite Gas conducted by Overwatch agents. [⧫]Regular screening of scientists (and other personal) exposed to Azurite Gas. [⧫] Understanding that dangerous breakthroughs in the applicational uses of Azurite Gas may result in confiscation of related data and or personal involved in said projects.
I pray that our last point never comes to pass. I understand if such a thing may be... unreasonable but I hope it goes to show just have dangerous these Nomadic materials can be. However, should such a thing be necessary, the Overwatch will be willing to discuses compensation for confiscated data, labs, and or personnel.
Should our talks come to an agreement, I shall put in a request that MML flagged ship be added to the Sliver Level Clearance within Order Controlled systems. Continue to bring in more refined materials to assist the Order and you will find yourself more involved with the Overwatch's logistical operations. Should MML continue on its course as is, you may look forward to involvement in the Overwatch's aforementioned future projects. If there are any other specific points that you wish to address feel free to list them.
Sender: MML Administration Recipient: Colonel Eddy Narson, Order First Fleet Overwatch Transmission Origin: Maric Metallurgical Labs, Omicron Mu Subject: Response Regarding Azurite Gas Negotiations and MML Operations
Grüße, Colonel Narson,
It is with great respect that we acknowledge your message and the opportunity to deepen our collaboration with the esteemed Overwatch.
Maric Metallurgical Labs (M.M.L.) was established and is funded by one of the members of the Eclipse Vanguard, with a singular purpose: to aid the Order in its mission to secure humanity’s future against the Nomad threat. Our station exists to provide a safe, efficient, and reliable supply line under ALG IFF, allowing for safer passage through the vast majority of Sirius Sector systems. Furthermore, M.M.L. focuses on the economical production of vital materials such as MOX and Basic Alloy, as well as the construction of specialized equipment tailored for the Order’s vessels.
We are fully aware of the presence and value of Memphis Industrial Compound within Omicron Mu. However, our station seeks to offer a more controlled and directly influenced addition to the Order's infrastructure. M.M.L. operates under the guidance and influence of Eclipse Vanguard and the Order's decisions, ensuring that our objectives remain aligned with the overarching goals of the organization.
Concerning the controlled access to Azurite Gas, we wholeheartedly accept the conditions outlined in your communication. The safe and responsible handling of this material is of utmost importance, and we are committed to adhering to the following protocols:
Submission to random inspections of laboratories researching Azurite Gas, conducted by Overwatch agents.
Regular screening of all personnel exposed to Azurite Gas, maintaining the highest safety standards.
Acknowledgment of the Overwatch's authority to confiscate related data or personnel in the event of dangerous breakthroughs, with agreed-upon compensation terms.
As for our operational approach, we will initially begin gathering Azurite Gas on a small scale, ensuring that safety protocols are rigorously tested. As M.M.L. grows and new modules are constructed, we will gradually increase the quantity of Azurite handled to support expanding research and production. This cautious strategy reflects our commitment to safety and readiness in all operations.
Furthermore, the potential inclusion of M.M.L.-flagged ships in Silver Level Clearance within Order-controlled systems would greatly enhance our operational capabilities. This would streamline our efforts to support the Order's logistical operations and ensure a consistent supply chain for critical resources.
Lastly, we express our keen interest in contributing to the Overwatch's future projects. Should there be specific plans or initiatives where M.M.L.'s expertise or resources could be of use, we stand ready to assist.
We eagerly await your response and look forward to a prosperous and secure partnership.

To whom it may concern,
Very well, the terms are agreed upon and I have already put in a request to add MML to Silver Tier Clearance within Order space with an additional addendum for the Azurite Gas so our agents are aware of your accesses. We look forward to our continued co-operation. Should we deem it necessary we will contact you concerning future opportunities.
Sender: M.M.L. Administration Recipient: The Order Overwatch Transmission Origin: Maric Metallurgical Labs, Omicron Mu Subject: Azurite Gas Delivery and Research Update
Grüße, Order Overwatch,
We are pleased to confirm the successful delivery of 8,600 units of Azurite Gas to Maric Metallurgical Labs (M.M.L.), achieved through the exceptional efforts of the Eclipse Vanguard. In full adherence to protocol, no M.M.L.-flagged vessels entered Omicron Minor during the extraction process.
This mission's success is attributed to the expertise of the Eclipse Vanguard operations team and the exemplary coordination of Logistics Officer Lera Rhunner. Additionally, as of 13.01.835 A.S., the Eclipse Vanguard has granted permission for our mining operations to continue within Omicron Minor to secure material for future needs.
We trust this arrangement aligns with your expectations. We have received the necessary guidelines for handling and transporting the material, and we will be utilizing a Hegemon-class mining vessel for extraction and transport.
For a detailed report from the Eclipse Vanguard, please refer to the following link: MML-EV Comm. Section 19.
The research into the Azurite Gas has officially begun as of 14.01.835 A.S. Current estimates suggest that the stored gas will sustain our research operations for approximately one week. Our chambers are operating at optimal safety standards and efficiency, as detailed in the provided lab log.

Admiral Forsberg,
We have received and acknowledged your transmission outlining the escalating threat posed by Kusari Office of Intelligence and Core forces. M.M.L. Administration fully recognizes the gravity of the situation and the critical role both Fort Carthage and Cairo Station play in The Order’s operations.
Maric Metallurgical Labs stands ready to assist The Order in every way possible. Over the past months, we have outfitted dozens of Order vessels with cutting-edge shield technologies, ensuring our fighter ships are better protected in the face of these threats. We remain committed to providing further support as needed.
To aid in the current crisis, M.M.L. can offer:
Rapid supply of critical resources and equipment for defensive operations or emergency repairs.
Specialized engineering and logistics personnel to reinforce skeleton vanguards or assist with fortifications.
Deployment of our transport fleet to deliver supplies to the required location.
We can deploy a state-of-the-art drone to scout the area near the IKN Hakodate and gather actionable intelligence to support The Order's efforts.
While our resources are dedicated to supporting The Order, our available combat assets are limited. At present, we only have one operational fighter under our control, which is currently occupied with M.M.L.’s internal interests.
Nonetheless, you can rely on us to provide support in these challenging times. Maric Metallurgical Labs stands with The Order, now and always. Please provide instructions on how we can best integrate our resources and personnel into your operational plans.

To whom it may concern,
The Overwatch will accept what ever support MML is willing to give. We suspect much of it will be needed after the fighting has concluded. During the fighting it would be best of the MML stays out of sight so your ships do not become the target of raids after the fighting has ended.
Sender: Kristina M. P. - Maric Metallurgical Labs Recipient: The Order Overwatch Location: Maric Metallurgical Labs, Omicron Mu Subject: Unauthorized Corsair Warship in Omicron Mu
Grüße Overwatch Command,
Following protocol, we have already submitted this matter to Eclipse Vanguard Command and have been instructed to escalate the report to The Order Overwatch for further advisement.
During an Order-assigned reconnaissance mission in the Seth Cloud, I encountered and engaged twelve (12) unidentified hostiles. After neutralizing the threats, my scanners detected an approaching Corsair capital-class warship, likely a Praefect-class Cruiser, under the callsign DTR-CNS>Mors_Centissima.
The Corsair vessel claimed Omicron Mu as their territory, demanded credits, and upon my refusal, opened fire. Despite sustaining previous battle damage, I successfully disengaged and returned to base.
The full mission log and communication transcript are attached for your review. I request guidance on the appropriate response to this clear violation of Order sovereignty and endangerment of MML operations within Omicron space.
