Listen to my story, it might be the last time I can express myself without brain-net to the living of Sirius. The family I had establish six decades ago, the Desari is an entity to remember and yet to respect until these days. Long ago, when there was neither an alliance nor a coalition, we human were divided in hundreds of fragments scattered on a single sphere of a forbidden name. I have named my family in honor of one of a memorable lord guild from which their blood still flows in our veins. The Tsars. Say Desari, De-tsari , from the Tsar in our inter system language.
My son Ian, is a honorable man yet to find his way in the stars of Sirius as someone to remember as I once was. He was born on planet Cambridge on a beautiful isolated village called Serene-Dale.

[font=Georgia] Ian Desari Biography
My name is Ian Desari, son of a father I will never forget: Albert Desari.
The village I am from is the most boring place I have been in my life. I know dad do not like when I insult Serene-Dale but when the most exiting event of the cycle is the giant carrots festival it's fairly obvious. I was born in this few hundreds inhabitants community on the East continent of Cambridge and had a pleasant childhood along the sea shore.
As a juvenile, It is a different story. I did hate the fact that I was forced to go to the grand college of Cambridge. At that time I started to hate my old man. I could not accept to leave my boring, but yet pleasant childhood at the shore. Now I do understand how wrong I was to hate Albert. He did that for me, for my future.
I was now 16 years old. At the college, I had all kind of courses from mathematic to Bretonian history and from engineering to politic. During the 5 legal years, I stared to enjoy learning concept around us. i wanted to leave Cambridge, I had to see what was going on outside of my sphere. I wanted to follow my father's path and make my destiny glorious. I was so ambitious back then...
812 As, The 3rd day of the second quarter. I remember this date as my first time in space. How gorgeous is it! I was only 21 years old, not that old for space life ( at least what i thought back then). My father used to remind me how sick i was soon after landing. He always loved to mocking me about it. Hopefully , I gained full control of my body quickly after just few exit in space.
My first real job, as a maneuver in one of Albert's ship from a local delivery freight service. The local Ship lane was part of gateway distribution service within Bretonia. We transported consumers good, food rations and even in some rare case Luxuries from New-London importation space port. My Father's ships and crews worked in The whole system for years. Life was once again nice, with a good salary and professional possibility.
Unfortunately, there is always a spin off, such is my case. The economical tension between my Bretonia and Kushari which followed a war that still persist today darkened a part of my life. Of course Cambridge was fairly touched by the crisis. That did not change the fact that I lost my job , after my father did bankrupt. All that reminded of the Desari's was a natural food producer on Cambridge and few Stock points on London. We were not poor, but we were not used to be ''normal citizens''. The Family issue occurred and a significant part of the Desari decided to move along on their own one after the other.
815 As, I had decided to flee from Bretonia, even if all my family lived there. But where should I have gone? Kushari angered me for the obvious reasons, so did Rheinland with its corrupted fascist constitution. Liberty then, why not , its an active economical sector. To be honest I had no choice,but even today I kind of regret that I left behind the Queen in Bretonia for my very own success.
My new employer, Deep Space Engineering offered me to be a co-pilot in a small trade vessel at first. During years, I have acquired experience and soon became one of their major pilots within Kushari sector. I used to transport gate lane part in Hokaido for the H-fuel project in kushari. It was simple and efficient: Ageira Technology's produced the part in Colorado and we did the shipping. Minor incident occurred during several travels. One that I do remember well is when one of our main engine has died down in the middle of Galileo. The nearest repair bay was at a light years of travel. I did overcome the issue with my engineers crew who installed a gate accelerator behind the ship to substitute the engine. It was my idea and this innovation has allowed massive liberty vessels to strafe more easily in open space since then.
When my father died in 806 As, i went in a down. The honor that once shined was gone with my old man. At this point, I decided to move along, leaving what I thought to be a free corporation, was in fact a Sirius-wide industry considering their employees as ''resource''.
Eventually, I've started to work as a part time miner for the Independent Mining Guild within the taus. I understood that this was maybe my place. Now with my dear crew mates, I am free to accomplish this Serene-Duty...
[font=Palatino Linotype]<div align="right]Ian Desari 791 - .... As
My crew and I were on the end of our shift, I had to do a duty I cherish : Liberation. Regardless of my Img Job on various duty, I know that it is my role to be the one giving hope. There is no job too easy or without issues.
When a approached planet Leed with a cargo of superconductor (to repair a local docking bay) I was intercepted with both the Bretonian police and army. I had encountered them before in a similar Scenario. I landed on Leed under their big tongues of me been a ''Slaver'', a ''criminal''. I transport poor refugees of Bretonia to new worlds where they will seek glory, somehow I wanted these people to have the chance I had.
I did not want to transport them to Liberty (after what I found in their corporates laws). Instead of dropping them in a corrupted emancipation sector, I used to leave them in the sigma Sector under Samura's hand. Indeed the idea may at first be shocking for the Bretonia's authority ,but despite all the effort I put to explain my deed, they decided to arrest me. Yea Lt.otis.Hall , I will remember how you darkened the truth, how you felt shocked and decided to lie upon Ian Desari.
Meanwhile, on Leed's surface, I planned I wise Stategy. In Kushari, I Have met a talented scientist who proposed me to install a new Illusion Device which would mimic my Train's shape. My inboard Engineer, Marcus Trent (former DSE Employee like me) was the one who gave me the idea to make use of the Device. I did know the it wasnt perfect and that the ''picture'' could look obvious. Hopefully, the space dust around Leed made the illusion looks natural, well natural for those violent authority.
I did learn a lot about Bretonia corrupted Monarchist defender while I was on my real ship and using a basic communication array. The discussion did not lasted long, they were not interested in understanding the fact that I want the good of humanity. I am a pacifist, and moving those people from leed would reduce the casualty in the never ending war. Even If I am a former Bretonian, that I have participated in his economy. I was pushed to a ultimatum: Die or go to Jail. At first, I accepted to go to jail with the hope of explaining further to superior authority. But unfurtunatly, they Destroyed the ''illusion'', In front of civilian in a blast of cruelty. Marcus Believe the Emp cannon of the 3 bombers were the cause of the disruption of the illusion. The device has burned and is now out of use.
I know that I had to go aways from these threat that almost match with the Outcast pirates in the taus.
I hope Some people Understand me, I will share this story to my co-worker, and to all Sirian willing to know the truth about Bretonia's Authority. I strongly Invite citizen of Sirius To be against the Monarchy of Queen Carina.

LOG number 2.
[font=Georgia]Early on my shift, I offered services to a group of miner and hauler in tau 23. They did not need help despite all the ship I own in the Serene line. I found out that their hauler are Kruger employee piloting Rheinland's train transport. Despite my warning and request they kept docking on Java Station. After a deep analysis of the situation I have concluded that these players were new for this duty and decided not to bother further.
Later, after successfully protecting Java's sector against casual pirates from Malta, I intercepted a Pirate train under the name of Kayla near the tau 37 jump hole. With the help of 2 [color=#CC0000][Kr]gun boat, we found out that the pirate was no threat for Img. With no contraband, I let the vessel back to its journey. well thats all, I am now docked at Jakarta in hangar B3 for Ship check and cleaning of radiation.
This is a brief resume of my shift, Tau 23 was fairly active in both pirates and Colonial remnants. Everything was alright, with standard intervention with approaching curious vessels. =CR=CloudEncountered a junker ([color=#CC0000]Blue_Blaze) piloting a pytho bomber, stealing technology. While The Remnant was chasing the robber, a outcast (Moon walker) tried to merge into the fight. So intead of causing wreak havoc , I have pushed him away and he decided to abandon. The chase of the junker was not sucessful but remembered. After that I offered my services to 2 miners (Jack Fender and River.po) and I made sure the area was Secured. The junker was still around when I docked but I left =CR=Contra with a notice. It was time to refuel at Java space station

[font=Georgia]The Serne-Tycoon left of from Java Station in tau 23, A soon as the vessel was in open space, I was Warned by [color=#990000]=CR= Celestral about danger in the area. It was not typical but several HMS ship were drifting in the tau, I did not ask why they were there. One of them ([color=#990000] Hms apocalypse ) just overlooked me with no comments. Anyway I was headed to Dresden with a load of Pure Niobium.
In kyushu, I had a conversation with Marcus Trent, my inboard engineer. We were talking about he illusion device in the ship. He told me it was severely damaged and he did not know whether it would be once again functional or dangerous to use it. Later, in New-Tokyo, we encountered a Naval intervention at Honshu gate, I remember 1 name: Solurin , the officer who talked to me. There was something odd with a ''wild'' in a kushari ship.
Later, In sigma-13, the ship communication array froze, Marcus told me it was because of the Ionized Hydrogen in the Crown nebula. The ione Kept disrupting the channel until mid Frankfurt. At New Berlin Gate I encountered a Hessians ( Bull Dog ). It did not take long that I figured this Hessian was on something or just dumb. He was wisely making money from various trader. But even I, a Img guild employee, I was asked for several millions from the gun boat. He did believe that I had to land to get more money so he let me pass while pirating and shooting defenseless pilots.
In Dresden I called a group of RNC (john Dank) to make the Hessians think twice before pirating old mates (yea I have worked long in the Omegas...), I did not care even if they were fascist. On my way with a load of Diamonds to Denver ( I am bypassing embargo) , I was scanned by LN-James.Robinson and he let me go with no comment, I believe navy aren't as smart as Rheinlanders.
In New-York, I hired an escort (John , freelancer in his Spatial) with fair payments along the way. Superconductor to Kyushu, then Refugees from tau 31. On my way to my ''refugee Deposit Point'' , I decided, with my Escort to use a scenic road in Chugoku... Anyway I got aliens Organisms back to Ames Research Station where I am still refueling at the moment. I might as well take a break with my crew and check my ship ''secret Device'' with ...

[font=Georgia] I took off from Ames Research Station in Kepler and headed to Planet Pitsburg. On my way , In colorado, I encountered XA-Coral who let me pass since my cargo was empty. Soon after this, at New york gate, 3 pirates were waiting for me. 3 gun boats in fact ([color=#990000]The Lucian Alliance , Maverick), the first one asked me 1 million of toll. Okay, its just some credit for money hungry pilot. So I paid. I also saw some LPI turning their thumb (nothing new) ,and get a cargo of Boron. Back on my way to Colorado, I saw a potential escort (Eric Mason), which is an unlawful merc roc pilot.
In Kushari, on my way to Honshu, nothing much except 2 odd things. First I saw [color=#990000]Johny_Walker who seems like a weirdo, and a inboard chat with my crew asking for a snack. I did forgot where was the food in my ship... Marcus and the crew made fun of me.
Now I am on my way with some fancy Items on a request from a far research outpost. I am at Freeport 6 fueling with the no taxed product of zoners.
[font=Georgia]A quick patrol in the tau 23 area was pretty intense on this cycle. In fact i saw Multiple attempt of smugglers which I discouraged , the list of the ones I remember are: Lawrys, Twisted.Git , Nataliel Volker and Hawthorn. Since they weren't direct threat to the miners, I just warned them and in some case made some severe tolls. I did not take any chance because we have some issue with the Junkers in this sector. After some hunting in tau 37, I contacted =CR= Nibbler to warn him about the intense smuggler's activity. We made a blockade at the tau 37 Hump hole. It took a moment before someone went into the trap but when It did we got a bigger fish then we expected. A Slave Liner piloted by Sneaky Dumping .Marcus told me he never saw such an armored transport with so many turrets. Together we finally ended the nightmare of the thousands of slaves inside that evil ship, The massive transport collapsed at about 5K of Freeport 10. We saved around 1500 Humans out of 4000 and all of them from a terrible life awaiting them at Malta
Marcus Reported Minor Hull damage in the combat, the shield generator was fairly intact and Nibbler has made it without a scratch, I am now docked at Java for ship inspection.
I was planning to do my regular patrol. A soon as I was in open Space, I got contact by an important group of outcasts. After the usual low class insult by them, I asked Marcus if we could try the brand new bomber on a real combat scenario. Hopefully for me ( =CR=Cloud , =CR=Triton and a bit after =Cr=Erinnes ) a hold formed by 1 Carrier, and 1 fighter was on my side of my bomber. The outcast forces was composed of 3 Tridente 2 ''Sabre'' and 1 ''virage'' with the addition of 1 Destroyer incoming from Malta. The Carrier quickly get rid of 1 of the Gunboat ([color=#990000] Killer.2) and I started shooting Torpedoes at the other 2 gunboats. I had several unsuccessful shot , 1 after the other they perished (Slodge , Ol' Bastard)
Meanwhile the 3 fighters decided to flee, The Fighters on my side called me to get the approaching Destroyer ([color=#990000]Valletta_Outpost). I got a dozen of hit on it. It went down like a weak prey. I remember them making fun of Img '' as little miners' but they quickly became the offended. None of us received significant damage, It is a triumph. With Marcus as a co-pilot, we headed back to the dock of Java.

On my personal Nyx, I was still doing some simulation. When I was in open space in tau 23, I encountered freelancer-510. He did not know that he was stealing our gun boat technology. I found out that the pilot was unexperienced and explained him.
Meanwhile, I contacted a local miner , [color=#990000]IMG-Jack.fender[M] (I did saw him earlier) , in order to be sure everything was in order. I have to say that the tau were unusually peaceful. I have decided to do my first recon in tau 37 then in omicron alpha just to have a look. In alpha I quickly turned around, there was a typical hight bandits activity.
Back in tau 23, IMG-Jack.fender[M] asked for an escort, which I accepted. So he called a transport (IMG-Madeison[T])Nothing bad happened on the travel to new-Berlin. I mean nothing interesting or notable. We reached Berlin and I received 10 millions as a payment. My transport had to refuel, and I went back to the tau's at my zone of influence. Oh I did see an important group of [Convoy] transporting refugees in 3 ships, with 2 gun boats as escort. It is a good thing to see that I am not the only one seeking freedom for the humanity.
Early on this cycle, I contacted a zoner transport. Thanks to Streamliner for this fresh oxygen. On host departure to Kushari, he asked me to escort him to the jump hole to kyushu. Everything went well And I earned 500K SC as a reward.
Then another zoner decided to dock at Java ([color=#990000]TAZ-Aes_Sidle). Well only to refuel his massive whale. Meanwhile I had a relaxed discussion with the battleship piloted by IMS-Phalanx. Everything is so quiet in the tau sector these cycles.
I had once again another escort request, this time by Trade-Captain with a haul of robotic, to get cobalt from Durmond station in Orkney. The poor Mastodon pilot feared the sabre of Orkney. SO I escort him on the way back as well. I earned 500K , on 2 payment of 250 K. For some reasons several of his ships felt into an anti-matter pit, loosing an important amount of Sirius Credit.
Meanwhile at Java, miss =CR= Red-2 , was back from duty and planned on helping a recruit. Then I participated in a recon with =CR=Nibler
as far as the dead end of tau 37. On our way back to station, I gave a hand to Knoxville against several sabre. Remember this is not a playground, no one will recover your corpse in such a place!

During The massive Ion Storm I was Stuck on Cold bay depot, in a lost Independent system between Liberty and Rheinland. I had a cargo of pharmaceutical. When The storm was over, I was one of the few vessels still operational. Marcus Say it is because of the Hight level of technology used in the entire ship. In Stuttgart I saw a police officer doing his duty, he had to make sure everyone was alright.The Illusion displayer has never been so much damaged, thats the bad new. I received a private call from Tokyo wealth association, they ordered a cargo of luxury food. Since I was one of the rare vessel operational and since I was near Stuttgart, I accepted.
On my way to Kusari, Altc.Mar.Shipping's was doing ''business within its Pirate transport. Even if he said he was no threat I did not trust any junker. After a notable Serene Ride in the Ionized Sirius, I docked at Java Station.
[font=Georgia]The mining operations in tau 23 were going well, low pirates activity. Even the notable Ion Storm did not damaged our equipment too severely. My mining ship was repaired ans became fully operational. Like all good miners, I hired someone: Erynel with his spatial. He did a good job at making patrols in the sector, and even helping with the ore shipping. I produced an important amount of ore and proceeded with the shipping. The ship is currently at Java station to refuel and equipments check.
In the same cycle I produced further more ore with 3 other miners ([color=#990000]Jack Fender , Clipper, Daniel Plainview), I filled my own cargo of the Serene-Tycoon, as well at Madeira's atlas. It was pretty easy to mine after the triumph against the outcast assault.
[font=Georgia]With the ore just produced by the Serene-Duty, and With my escort (Erynel) I prepared for my trade journey. First, we naturally headed to Planet New-Berlin where The Niobium Market is at its best right now. My escort vessel scouted ahead. Nothing unusual reported, the trading went all well. In Frankfurt, and later in New-Berlin I encountered the Same [color=#990000][Convoy] group I met before. (Meanwhile I had a discussion with Charlie.Mussel, a Img Miner).
Then, it was time for my escort to receive a payment, a very generous one. I had one of those old hegemon with no captain. So I offered him either my old ship or 10 millions. He did obviously take the ship and I gave him the License. Back to the taus, I filled my cargo bay with MoX Crate since our stock were not that hight in our edge worlds outpost. If it wasn't from this source of energy, everyone on board these far station would die of cold. These system have unusual sun, often radioactive but poorly heating the stellar objects. The Serene-Tycoon is already ready for Departure. All systems fully operational.
After the outcast attack, I filled the cargo of the ship with Niobium Ore. With the Other miners (see above in Serene-Duty's log). We also met a group of Council pilot in the Western area, ZED was pessimistic of their presence, while Jack Fender more curious just like I was. Of course the Gillian were somehow arrogant (Labrise|Laflamme , Pimpernel) , they were talking an ancient language I thought was forbidden. Then 2 Kusarian Special Agent intercepted the the 2 Gallians (Tieng.Lung|KPT,Tnaka.Tadashi|KPT) , I don,t know what they were seeking for. Anyway I offered our home made beer at Java for the 2 Gallians, they took it. But nothing serious was talked inside the station.

[font=Georgia]The first time I life off from Java this Cycle, I was called to chase a destroyer with my bomber. We did not found him, after looking for the status of Farkland base (whose comm array have a problem since the Ion Storm). I was with [TDF]Hailstorm and [color=#990000]IMG|Bill.Fender[D]. On our way back to java, we were hit by an unplanned ion Strom. I lost my first companion there, but the second one survived. The Ion hit us so hard, it moved us from a far range.
That was an intense forced shift. The event somehow remind me the past experience I had with the same ship. No less then 5 armored vessels reached Java's range. 1 Destroyer, 3 Tridente, 1 Sabre. We were 4, 2 fighters, 2 bombers. Zed been the other bomber and Bill.Fenderwith =CR=Dutch as fighters. (The 5 outcasts), As you can see there was Nightstar as the derstoyer, Cyrus-The-Vyrus, OL' Bastard and Dramus as gunboats and Mr.Brown as Sabre.. The fight did not took place, But I know that the bomber finally decide to follow the pirates to Kyushu where they were headed to pirate the trade lanes. Unfortunately The Naval forces were ready for the attack and with us Destroyed 1 destroyer and 1 gun boat, the others fleed.
During the fight, Bill.Fenderdied, I feel sorry for you. Back to Java, We saw nothing else then Dramus, the remaining gun boat, with another Destroyer (Valletta-Outpost). We had to destroy them, they killed a hegemon right in front of our cockpit. It was me and ZED. He took down the gunboats , then I personally finished the Destroyer with its help. The End...
Soon after the Neural network comeback, I was proceeding through Kusari with a load of Mox. Half way back to the tau, I was intercepted with 2 Kusarian Soldier (Gendo.Kaze, Seiji.Akimato). At first I was not trusting them , but I progressively earned confidence. For some reasons, The first vessel went down... Marcus is has puzzled as I am.
We reached Domby station where I was about to transport a load of Berylium to Denver,Colorado. The we all slept and let the auto pilot do the work for us ''Engaging long trip cryo-stage''. When I was back... I was in the middle of Kusari, with Optronik. 2 brave sisters ([color=#990000][GC]Chi.Shinizu, Salina.Rodriguez) from the golden crysenteum pirated my vessel. I asked my crew to fetch anything valuable in the ships. The cost were reasonable and then we headed to Java station. Think I made the right choice, its not like if us, the Img own a fully operational ship yard or repair bay.
In tau 23, I decided to dock my vessel. The area was safe since it was protected by (Natalia.Steiner, Erynel). There was also a miner (Carsten.Miller) who I am starting to see on a regular basic.
'LOG number 15.
[font=Georgia]Well thats a pretty harsh shift, The damage on this vessel is self explanatory '' a lot of combat ''. Of course we never wished to become warrior, we are an independent society building hope in a quality duty. We had a big time mining in our new ''secret'' area recently discovered by our survey team. while we had a team dispatched in the ore field, We were filling the Pangea, our Barge among the biggest flying object ever build by the humanity.
First we ([color=#990000]ZED ,=CR= Blue-3, Daniel Sheppard, and perhaps a hand to a good traveller) encountered 2 Outcast ''Tridente'' ([color=#990000]WindofHope , Pure insolence), Thanks for the quick reaction from the Security office, these 2 did not last long. Some may think that we used too much firepower, but we are really not kidding with capital ship so close to one of our numerous space station.
But worst was to happen. We had other ''Out-Fart'' Guests, my commander believe it has something to do with the hype and money potential of the ''Pangea'. So we (ZED, TDF.Hailstorm , FL-Firehawk , Erynel ) , a good blend of ships, worked against 1 ''IONIZED''* Sabre (Diego.Guillermo) , and a pirate train (Bigmama) . At first we saw no real threat but when we saw a visitor (firehawk) under attack we decided to lunch an offensive. The transporter did not last long but tried to draw the squad toward Cali Base. Once the ship was destroyed, the fighter did the same. During the combat Erynel's engines went off but he could still engage an escape pod. ZED's ship was so damaged that we decided to abandon the vessel behind. I only picked up the pod.
The fight is now over, all the injured members (mostly security personnel) will be sent to Jakarta Station where we hope they can recover in peace. In my case, I was pretty lucky and only my ships status is forcing a stay in the docking bay.
I must say that I will always remember this day. One word ''PANGAEA''. Hopefully I had the help of ZED for the maneuvers. It took us 1 hour and a half to reach its new location (Kept secret). I mean this is much better then Java since all the threat are ''history'' here. The mobile space station is now drifting in a serene environment free of danger.
What will we do with this starting project in classified within IMG, not even our closest allies know about it. We filled our numerous transports of ore that we stocked on one of our space station.
The only incident worth reporting was about a rescue operation of Salves in a smuggler's wreck.
Unfortunately =CR=Cloud could not remember the ID of the Bandit. I had an empty mining ship close the crash site located near the tau 23 Jump hole in tau 37-barrier sector. The survivor are now kept in a secret place before they are send back to their home... if they ever had one.
[font=Impact]LOG number 17
[font=Georgia]So we kept using the tactical advantage of the Pangaea mobile space station. We kept hauling and mining to raise funds for the new recruits. We were doing great duty in group. There was [color=#990000]Colara.Gold, windstorm. Big.Mama Aka ZED , and Walter. I remember using several and unusual scenic routes. My work mate reported a certain [color=#990000]Hone.Nathan, a privateer raising its own fund ''pirating'' in Kusari major trade lane. That was the reasons we used alternative route on the way back from Rheinland. I remember having a nice time with my mates, Zed never gets old. Then of course there was the director issue that we solved ( I think).
The next space cycle, I was hanging around on a patrol in tau 37 with [color=#990000]Erynel, Solstice, and Walter, the new guys. These new employees had to face a real (and typical) combat situation. An outcase ''Tridente'' was hanging around Farkland. Hailstrom joined the defense squad quickly. We had a sufficient firepower considering the limited experiences of some of my squad Mates. Unfortunately even if the gunboat was destroyed by me ( MNS.Rosario) we had 2 casualty,.. but they just lost their ships, not their life.
After that, I have decided to make some training within our guard system tau 39. We did several kinds of simulation, and it was worth it for everyone. Since I am not a dogfight ace, I was a fair target. I also explained a lot of theory about equipments and combat features. I think that all of them enjoyed this help given by me. At last I docked at Java.
[font=Georgia]I was patrolling the tau sector after the terrible incident of the Colonial Republic that occurred last cycle. In fact, a massive cloud of dark matter annihilated their entire fleet. I hope they will reappear from the space anomaly soon. I had numbers of mate among the unlucky one. Even some IMG pilot inboard these vessels were hit by the disaster.
There was more then one major combat which took place in the area. The Colonial Republic never use to be that much aggressive. I believe their admiral =CR=Panzer is the one to point the finger to. The most recent new report that the lost fleet is somewhere at about 95.4 light years from the outer edge of Gallia.
Back to the situation in the tau, moreover in our mining fields, I must say we have less trouble then anticipated. Mainly the diplomatic issue are getting arranged by both sides. Especially related to the Council ''Labrise'' deeds in the tau-23 barrier fields. Also, the amount of outcast capital ship activity has decreased progressively. So I lifted off from the Java space dock on the last quarter of the space cycle. I was quickly contacted by [color=#990000]ICMG]Chlorite, a brand new defense gunboat from our communist allie. I give the vessel a hand against a nuisance. A pirate transport under the name of Aehue.Gate were loitering in our mining fields. Procedure were taken and the suspect did an emergency dock on Cali base, away from our operations.
Meanwhile, one of the remnant of the outcast invaders, went close to Java, but turned back (MNS-Basilisk). At the station I met one of our hight defense cruiser class ship : The IMG|Savai's. At first I was wondering since I had never saw this ship before. I have learned that it was commissioned on the Orkney system near Doumby.
Again, I was contacted via coded transmission by the ICMG vessel about a strange radar signal from Farkland station in tau 37. He said ''something big''... It had to be the lonely Zepelin (Sarissa dreadnought outcast) we saw earlier venturing far from his lair. And indeed it was the very same MNS-Basilisk. A long threating communication started while he was near the jump hole to alpha. With the gunboat on my side and JNC.Pickaxe, Yellow Touch (2 other bombers) we watched his movement. No combat ensued, I asked the squad no to send anymore transmission.
I understood that the warship was seeking some action... for whenever reason , the sniffers are somehow weird when it come to warfare (it must be cardamine's side effect). I have scanned the entire ship and discovered multiple weakness. The only strong guns he has is a heavy mortar.... anything else was secondary turret with limited range and damage output. That been said if an attack was to happen, long range heavy weaponry would rip it apart with almost no casualty. I am docked on the Freeport were the face off took place. I want to be sure no dread act like ''reckon''.
I was on a special mining operation during the last cycle. I was ready to go back to the taus with an important load of precious Silver ore. Something happened however, as soon as I lifted of from the mining facility. [color=#990000]RM.Hf.Hans.Putzkammer decided to do a patriotic figure. Like If we depended on them. These fascists are almost as bad as the outcast with such a behavior.''recorded live transmissions''. So I moved both the Serene-Duty and the Serene-Tycoon back to tau 23. On my way I met [color=#990000]Carsten.Miller.
Once at Java outpost, I hired someone offering his ming and security service with its Mafic. Daniel.Plainview was paid 10 millions for 2 full load of ore within the Serene-Duty (Hegemon class miner) for helping in the operation and security. Another friendly miner was in the area : ICMG|Scoria, who tend to be a peaceful worker. Everything was alright, no bandit, just us and the ore field. I hope my co-workers will be glad to hear that the situation has improved in the tau-Barrier.
This will be a resume of my activity this cycle. I must say that I am very glad to see the pirate are lowering their activity in our mining field. We had a very hard time with multiple sources of threat. While ICMG|Humite and ICMG|Chlorite were doing their own business. I planned a convoy where ship crews were dispatched in the tau-37 Niobium field. While the team formed by : [color=#990000]watchmaker,The.Ebon.Hawk and Walter.Sobchak, I hired a Very heavy fighter ( Chalenger ) to make sure the mining team were safe while I was docked at Java. Some civilian visitors like =CR=Histryal were hanging around the station.
The overall operation was very successful, everyone hauled their ore to New Berlin. Even our escort fighter did a great job. He had his generours part of the profit. It seems peace is back for us. We wish these serene times last as long as possible. We build hope, we work for our future.
