ARMAMENT: CLASSIFIED
The Prox was the first battleship constructed by the Corsairs, launched from Tripoli in 811 AS. Based on an export schematic that had been reluctantly traded by The Order for resources and armed support, the Prox lacked many of the most sophisticated technologies that defined the original Osiris prototype. Despite this, the vessel was a fearsome combatant, first seeing battle to great effect during the Casablanca campaign against the Red Hessians.
The further proliferation of capital ship and bomber technologies by the late 810s left the Prox outdated and vulnerable, despite numerous expensive refits. The Prox's utility was further called into question by the launch of the Corsair-developed Murmillo class, with other early Osiris' such as the Delos being retrofitted to these new specifications.
While the Prox could not be fully retrofitted due to numerous flaws in its core design, it was substantially up-armored and up-gunned, at the expense of its propulsion systems. The Prox now rarely leaves Omicron Gamma, where it serves as both a last line of defense for Crete, and a training posting for young warriors seeking to crew the Empire's capital ships.

| [835 AS] Bloody Skirmish in Omega-47 |
|
OMEGA-47 -- 835 -- Numerous pilots have reported a significant skirmish in Omega-47 last week. The clash took place north of the system's central star, between the Corsairs and a combined Hessian-Coalition force. The confrontation inflicted heavy losses on all sides, leaving no faction satisfied with the outcome. This marks yet another bloody chapter in the relentless struggle for dominance in the Omegas between the Corsairs and the Red Alliance. Both sides hope controlling Omega-47 will open the flanks of Omega-5, securing a final decisive victory. |
| [835 AS] Core routed from Corsair borders |
|
CIUTADELLA -- Corsair scouts sounded the alarm after a large force of Core ships amassed near Planet Gammu. Ciutadella’s garrison moved to block any attack on Omicron Gamma, however the Core were soon beset by a huge force of AI ships. Seeing a chance to dislodge the Core blight, the Battlecruiser Vis led an attack on their flank. While the Vis suffered heavy damage fighting a Core battlecruiser, the enemy fleet was routed and chased into Omicron Delta. The AI Drones exhibited hostility to our pilots until a withdrawal was ordered. The Elders have been appraised of these resurgent AI, and the abnormal Core battleship leading them. |

PENITENCE -- 835 -- The Battlecruiser Penitence has abandoned its position and fled from Dresden. Facing Red Hessian encirclement, Admiral Escamilla ordered a break-out to Frankfurt. After the battlecruiser took severe damage, Petra Outpost’s garrison was scrambled to provide emergency assistance. Regrettably, this provided a window of opportunity for the Bundschuh and GMG to strike in Sigma-15, destroying the station. While the Penitence was able to escape, the disastrous Dresden campaign has cost the Empire dearly, severely damaging our raiding infrastructure in southern Rhienland. Admiral Escamilla has been summoned to Crete to answer for this failure. |
| [834 AS] Penitence implores Elders for reinforcements |
|
PENITENCE -- 834 -- Commanders seeing to the Dresden theater have issued a public letter to the Elders of Crete, urgently calling for reinforcements or permission to withdraw. The redeployment of the Penitence’s squadrons to bolster the defenses of Freeport 9 have left the battlegroup unable to carry out effective military operations. The Hessians have now committed to a full offensive into the Schwefelnebel to sever the supply lines to Frankfurt. If reinforcements are not dispatched urgently, or the Penitence withdrawn, the situation may rapidly worsen resulting in the loss of many Corsair vessels. Crete insists that the moment of victory approaches, and a final effort is all that is needed to crack the Omega-5 lines. |
| [834 AS] Order strikes Corsair smugglers |
|
BATTLESHIP DELOS -- 834 -- The Order has treacherously struck at Corsair freighters passing through Omicron Delta. Their arrogance knows no bounds. We have survived in this region for centuries longer than their organization has existed, yet they have the hubris to condescend to the Corsairs of the dangers? We bear The Order no ill will so long as they focus their attention where it belongs -- the Nomads. The moment they interfere with Corsair business, they can expect a Corsair blade. With the situation in Omicron Theta now stabilizing, the Elders have retasked the Battleship Delos to Omicron Delta to safeguard Xeno Relic smuggling routes. The Order, Core or anyone else shall interfere at their peril. |
| [833 AS] Outcasts retreat, sealing Corsair victory |
|
FREEPORT 9 -- 833 -- Facing superior Corsair forces, the Outcasts have fled from battle in Omicron Theta, abandoning their Zoner lapdogs. Valiant Corsair fighters cut down their pitiful enemies, putting these upstart Zoners in their place. Despite this, victory has come at the cost of many precious Corsair ships, and ambushes on our freighters continue in the system's nebulae. The Elders recognize that the Zoners are feeble minded and were manipulated by the treacherous Outcasts -- Crete has generously offered peace terms to local Zoner leaders so that they may accept Corsair rule and ensure their survival. |
| [833 AS] Elders dismiss general over failure |
|
CRETE -- 833 -- Outraged at the destruction of the Battlecruiser Kefalonia and damage to Freeport 9, the Elders have summoned General Galvez to answer for his failure to anticipate the scale of the attack. The Home Fleet is now being reorganized under new command, with the Battleship Delos providing immediate cover while the Battlecruiser Vis and squadrons from Rheinland are urgently pulled back from their present campaigns. Elder Garcia commended the Freeport’s defenders for their tenacity, congratulating them on throwing back the Outcast invaders. “We held our ground, at a cost,” she noted. “The Outcast feel they have struck a blow, but the wreckage shows they’ve paid a severe cost in blood they cannot well replace. When they return, we shall be ready.” |
| [832 AS] The gold-paved path to victory |
|
CADIZ -- 832 AS -- The Gallic War left Bretonia a wounded beast, stumbling along in a desperate attempt to prolong the inevitable. This presents us with critical opportunities. Our reavers scourge their Trade Lanes to feeble opposition, each raid securing the plunder and materiel needed to rebuild our mighty fleets. Now, the Mollys have seized Dublin, and its immense Gold wealth along with it. The Mollys are but gnats compared to the mighty Corsairs - the Elders have decreed that the system will be ours. The Battlecruiser Santander has already struck a great victory by eliminating the Battleship Hood. The Mollys fear to meet us in open battle, but soon they will be forced to fight or starve. With the wealth of Dublin secured, no one will be able to oppose us. The path to the Corsairs' great victory in Bretonia and Rheinland is paved in Gold. |
| [828 AS] Reconquista |
|
CRETE -- 828 AS -- Following a lull of successful conquests waged by the Corsairs, the Elders have finally broken their silence and issued an ultimatum. "The standing Navy of the Corsair Empire as well as its irregular raiders must do everything within their means to break existing stalemates or make progress. The enemies of Crete have grown arrogant and take for granted that Corsair offensives have lost their steam, this is an assessment which must be proved woefully wrong." In response to these express instructions, activity across every Corsair installation has intensified to levels that suggest substantial mobilization. |
