We have partially sucessfully delivered some exotic materials from the unexplored lands in that weird system we do call "Earhart".
The fleet had to do an emergency jump home since the Rheilanders came for our preciouss materials. They just expended several thousands of credits for nothing, materials are safe, and the materials are already at docks being processed for.
I need heavy lifting, we managed to do a long expedition to Earhart and returned without a single loss. I will need to deliver several tonnes of components.
Some navy fools shown to die, they said they won't turn back, neither surrender. We tried to explain them that we were on our business, and this cabrones started to blast us. So they are dead now, and we are not -shrugs-. I will need some repairs in decks 2 to 4 and a new particle accelerator for the heavy weapon H-3, this kinetics hit hard but they are weak to radiation.
Our docking admin examined all incoming materials and, together with our warehouse admin, logged them and entered them into our logistics system.
All materials are of excellent quality and will help us expand and maintain the station.
The DTR Emperio thanks everyone for their support.
This is an automatic response from our system to incoming deliveries.
Ravenna Vult! Chief Logistics Officer Nicolás Diego
We have deployed a mining operation with multiple vessels in one of the uncharted sectors and brought back 1200 units of cryo organisms. The cryo organisms have been stored into Sanctum for further processing and use. No issues within Earhart, no issues within the Uncharted system. No issues whatsoever on return. Minimal damage to all involved vessels sustained.
Operation Shadowfall -> Heavily encrypted -> DTR eyes only
My most cherished Sairs of Deterrence,
with pleasure I hereby submit my after action report
of the classified Operation Shadowfall, I hope you find
pleasure in our findings.
DATE: 11th of July 835 A.S.
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Operation Shadowfall is designated a qualified and strategic success.
The primary objective of the reconnaissance mission was met: we have confirmed that the Thuringia system serves as an active stronghold for Rheinland forces.
Our fleet was able to successfully enter the system, pinpoint the locations of several strategic installations and previously unknown anomalies,
and confirm a significant military presence. Although direct contact was avoided as per mission parameters, the intelligence gathered on fleet composition and patrol vectors is invaluable.
The data from this operation provides a critical foundation for all future strategic planning concerning this significant threat to the Imperio.
3.1. Ingress:
Following departure from Planet Crete, the expeditionary wing proceeded to the Omicron Theta jump hole,
executing the transition at 20:17 UTC+2. Upon successful transit,
the wing advanced directly along the classified vector provided by the Research Department.
Entry into the Thuringia system was achieved at approximately 20:29 UTC+2. All assets were accounted for,
with no casualties reported upon ingress.
3.2. Reconnaissance Phase:
Initial reconnaissance commenced at approximately 20:40 UTC+2.
The first exploratory vector into the "Suhl Anomaly" was met with extreme hostile conditions that threatened the immediate destruction of the wing.
A tactical withdrawal was executed, with the wing performing an emergency jump back to Freeport 9 for necessary repairs and replenishment of expended resources.
Following re-armament, a second ingress was attempted. Utilizing the advanced Anomaly Scanner aboard the flagship, DTR-PuertoDeEvia, a viable route through the hazardous field was plotted.
The wing then proceeded systematically along this pre-determined path, executing long-range sensor sweeps to map the system without further incident.
The flagship's scanner proved critical in navigating the anomaly and allowing the wing to complete its cartography objectives.
3.3. Hostile Encounters:
Multiple hostile engagements were recorded.
The expeditionary wing encountered significant Rheinland military patrols, particularly in the vicinity of a battleship holding a stationary position within the Suhl Anomaly.
Further hostile contacts were made near key military installations and planetary bodies in the system's upper sector. Scans positively identified these locations as Fort Sommerda and Planet Weimar,
among other installations. In accordance with standing orders to ensure the integrity of the mission and prevent intelligence leaks, all hostile vessels engaged were terminated.
This action was deemed necessary to eliminate any witnesses to our reconnaissance activities. No Corsair losses were sustained during these engagements.
3.4. Egress:
Withdrawal from the Thuringia system was achieved via a previously uncharted anomaly characterized by stabilizing energy rings. Post-transit analysis confirmed the wing's location as the Frankfurt system,
where it immediately encountered heavy hostile resistance. Navigating through enemy patrols, the wing proceeded to a secondary waypoint, mapping another anomaly and an unidentified outpost en route.
A subsequent jump was successfully executed, which was determined to be an intra-system transit. Before dispersing, the wing conducted final sensor sweeps, mapping two separate shipyard facilities.
Following this, the fleet dispersed according to evasion protocols to mitigate pursuit. The flagship, DTR-PuertoDeEvia, successfully executed its planned exfiltration route via Dresden, Omega-5, and Omega-41,
before making its final transit into Omicron Gamma. The flagship arrived safely at the Evia Research Complex, marking the successful conclusion of the operational phase of the mission.
4. INTELLIGENCE GAINED & STRATEGIC ANALYSIS:
4.1. Enemy Disposition & Strength:
The intelligence gathered paints a grim and unequivocal picture: the Thuringia system, along with the charted sectors of Frankfurt,
hosts a significant and deeply entrenched Rheinland military force. This is not a mere border patrol or a collection of disparate garrisons;
our wing encountered a structured, layered, and active military presence. Force concentrations were highest around key strategic assets,
including a capital-class vessel—believed to be a battleship—anchored within the Suhl Anomaly, and heavily fortified installations such as Fort Sommerda and Planet Weimar.
The disposition of these forces suggests a deliberate defensive lattice designed to protect these core assets.
The consistent presence of multiple patrol wings indicates that the Rheinland Military maintains full operational control over the system's primary routes.
Thuringia must be considered a forward operating base and a heavily fortified military sector.
4.2. Key Installations Analysis:
The primary installations identified, Fort Sommerda and Planet Weimar, appear to be central nodes in Rheinland's defensive network.
Both are heavily fortified, surrounded by a constant and robust military presence. During our reconnaissance, a significant degradation of long-range communications was noted in proximity to these sites.
This suggests the presence of active electronic warfare measures, likely communication jammers, designed to isolate the system and prevent intelligence from being broadcast.
This capability indicates a high level of operational security and technological sophistication. Within the Frankfurt system, two shipyard facilities were mapped.
Initial long-range scans suggest they are currently inactive. This assessment is based on the presence of what appeared to be the wreck of a warship within one of the drydocks and a general lack of energy signatures consistent with active construction or repair.
However, this observation remains unconfirmed and should be treated with caution. The facilities could be in a state of standby, capable of being reactivated on short notice.
4.3. Technological Assessment:
Based on the direct combat encounters and sensor data logged by the flagship, it is my firm analysis that the Rheinland military vessels operating within Thuringia are utilizing technology that is demonstrably superior to standard military-grade equipment.
Our pilots reported that hostile craft exhibited maneuverability and acceleration profiles exceeding the known performance ceilings for their chassis types.
Furthermore, their defensive systems displayed an alarming resilience to our standard disruptor and torpedo payloads,
suggesting advanced shielding or armor composition. The energy signatures of their weapon discharges were also inconsistent with conventional Rheinland plasma or laser technology, indicating a potential hybridization.
It is my professional assessment that we are not engaging with conventional Rheinland forces. This presents a grave tactical problem, as our standard combat doctrines may not be effective against this threat.
The enemy is not only well-fortified but technologically unpredictable.
4.4. Overall Strategic Threat:
The implications of our findings are severe. The Rheinland military presence in Thuringia is not a simple garrison;
it is a technologically advanced and fortified fleet capable of projecting significant power. Should these forces decide to launch an offensive into Corsair space,
a standard fighter wing would be insufficient to repel them. The threat they pose cannot be overstated. Therefore, effective immediately, I am classifying the Thuringia system as a restricted zone.
Access is forbidden to all non-essential and non-combat-certified personnel until further notice. This is a necessary precaution to protect our assets and prevent untrained pilots from falling prey to a superior and entrenched enemy.
The enemy in Thuringia is a threat we need to pay the respect they deserve.
5. RECOMMENDATIONS:
In light of the grave threat confirmed by Operation Shadowfall, I submit the following urgent recommendations to the Deterrence High Command for immediate consideration and action.
Our response must be decisive and multifaceted, combining military fortification with accelerated scientific advancement.
Strategic Reinforcement of the Omicron Frontier:
The defense of our core territories must be prioritized. I recommend commencing the immediate reinforcement and rebuilding of Freeport 9 to serve as a hardened forward operating base.
Concurrently, the Battleship Delos should be rerouted from its current station in Omicron Delta to Freeport 9 or similar measures should be applied.
This presence will project Corsair power and serve as a bulwark against any potential incursions from Thuringia, Outcast or the Phoenix Zoners side.
Containment of the Thuringia Anomaly: We cannot permit the enemy an unguarded gateway into our territory. I propose the immediate redeployment of a capital-class vessel,
preferably a battlecruiser, to the anomaly connecting Omicron Theta to Thuringia. This vessel will establish a permanent blockade, securing this critical entrance and providing an early warning against any hostile fleet movements.
Acceleration of Research & Development:
The enemy's technological superiority presents our most significant challenge. To counter this, we must expedite our own research programs.
I request an executive order to increase the allocation of Xeno Relics, Azurite Gas, and other critical materials to the Evia Research Complex.
This influx of resources is vital to speed up our department's research into new weapons, defensive systems, and countermeasures to neutralize any threat.
The swift implementation of these measures is essential for the continued security and sovereignty of the Corsair Empire.
Welcome back fleet commander A. S. Lopez, I am Commander Ricardo Sanchez of the corsair naval Fleet. I am currently authorized and stationed in Deterrence Sanctum by the orders of our executor as the Commanding Administration and in charge of the base upgrades and enginnering.
Firstly many many congratulations on the successful execution of Operation Shadowfall and your safe returns. Our Elders will be pleased by your actions and reports. Now that the formalities are done let me come to the point. As you are aware after the fall of Reincarnation in Delta, our elders have already taken actions in protecting all our remaining assets all around our borders, which is one of the reasons for me to be here.
I have been autorized to initiate Operation "Fortress Rising". The main agenda of this operation is to upgrade the Sanctum's stations and Defenses with the help of Reincarnation engineers. Good News is all the engineers are succesfully transported from Delos to sanctum which was the easy part. However building the upgrades require a lot of time and the materials, this is where we want you. We want you to coordinate with the Logistics commander and use any means necessary to gather all the required materials for the upgrades of the base.
Beware that even though the details of the operation are classified our enemies are not gonna let our ships move freely with such valuable materials, that is why i am assigning you with great faith in your skills and charms.
NOTE: The details of the required materials will be provided by the Logistics officer in the Admin Wing, while you are at it help yourself and your crew with our sanctum's finest Rum on me as a reward for your success.
It is wonderful to be back. The silence of deep space has its own sort of charm,
but nothing compares to the familiar hum of a friendly station.
I must confess, my travel ledger is looking rather sparse. Matters of... discretion, you understand.
Once our work at Evia, Ravenna Invicta and Sanctum is concluded, I imagine I shall be making myself scarce once more.
But not before I see to it that certain vital supplies reach their destination.
One hundred crates of the finest Cretan cigars, and five hundred of our best rum, should help to keep spirits high.
I’ve also managed to convince some of my brightest minds to lend their expertise to our current endeavor.
While I was making my way through the Deterrence Sanctum, I couldn't help but notice a disused wing of the complex.
It seems a shame to let such space go to waste. I was hoping I might prevail upon you to allow me the use of two small rooms for the storage of some... sensitive materials.
Information that I would only entrust to a fellow Deterrence officer. Naturally, I would require the highest level of security. If you could spare a few of your most trusted guards,
men the Executor himself would trust with his life, it would be most appreciated.
If not, I can, of course, provide my own.
What we are doing here is of the utmost importance. We are rebuilding what was lost, and in these uncertain times,
it is more critical than ever to keep our secrets close. I count the Executor - by nature dictates - as one of our inner circle.
Might I count you among them as well?
On a more practical note, I was unable to locate the Logistics commander.
If you should see him, please tell him to contact me at his earliest convenience.
As you know, this operation is a top priority for the Imperio, and we cannot afford any delays.
