Noble familia,
Intelligence has reached me of a state-of-the-art cruise vessel recently released by Orbital Spa and Cruise, to cater for it's higher class customers. Our patrols spotted the vessel "Orinoco" cruising not far from Planet Gran Canaria. Further investigations were made; not difficult as OSC advertising tends to be an excellent source of information. The technical specifications of this vessel are extremely impressive.
I am not after a holiday, however. Put simply, I want that ship.

Spa and Cruise have, rather uncharacteristically, chosen to keep the routes of their most precious new jewel a secret. While their brochure boasts "the most impressive sights in all of Sirius" the precise route the ship takes has been a closely guarded secret, released to passengers only once they are boarded.

Some effort will have to be made, I think, to track down the vessel, observe it from afar, and determine it's favoured tour locations. We will then be able to plan to ambush and capture it. Keep your distance though. If they notice our interest in the vessel, they may increase security.

The defensive capabilities of this ship are reported to be formidable, yet I do not want it damaged. I would suggest some effort also be made to track down as much intel as we can on the vessel, and find a way to disable it without too much exchange of weapons fire.

I will leave this task, noble familia, to you.
I rarely ask of you, familia. This time, I trust you will not let me down.

Viva los Corsairs. Viva los Benitez.
Don Carlos Benitez

Hey amigos. I thought it was high time Don Carlos stopped messing around in warships and started having a bit of luxury in his old age. Ive confirmed that this ship is suitable for our needs, and will not suffer any ID nerfs, so its a question of getting hold of it.
Im hoping to organise an event with some Spa and Cruise players in which the ship can be captured.
In the meantime, keep your eyes out for OSC Orinoco. If you spot it, follow it at a good distance, and report your findings. I want that ship.

Report Author: Pavlos Bernardo Tomas Antonio Duenos Benitez
Report Title: OSC-Orinoco

Pursuant to your directive, I was alert to the presence of the OSC-Orinoco in Manchester, but due to some trouble with the local law enforcers, I was unable to log the long-range scanner readouts until the Orinoco had reached the Dublin System.

Whereupon the Orinoco moved onto the Omega 49 and 47 systems, where one of the team was able to get within 9km of the Orinoco

I eventually caught up with the Orinoco in Omega 41, as she was entering the Theta Jumphole, where it was noted that she carries a complement of 50 crew, together with 1325 passengers; they may well need to be factored in to any assault. I was also able to complete a scan of her offensive weaponry, such as it is.

I then followed her through Theta and Sigma 17, where i was able to get close enough to scan her ordinance and armament.

Finally, it may be of some interest to note that the ship itself may well be cursed: I refer to the deities the hoi-polloi referentially name as 'The A.D.M.I.N.S.'

Executive Summary:

The route she takes is Manchester> New London> Dublin> Omega 49> Omega 47> Omega 41> Omicron Theta> Sigma 17> Sigma 19. All of these systems are well within our Zone of Operations, and a strike force will be easy to assemble at a moments notice.

Report teminates.
