Hola, respected hermanos y hermanas!
It has been a while since I used this channel. I am reporting in with some critical data that will surely interest you.
Today I have been alerted about high anomaly activity in Omicron systems and was asked to investigate it together with senor Rogelio Axiotis of the Black Flag Corsairs.
The anomalies have affected a lot of Omicrons systems, however, I would like to start with most urgent things first. More precisely, Omicron Xi system and how it was affected.
Take a look at the updated Nav Map of this system, por favor!
As you can see, we have managed to discover two concerning things: Omicron Alpha jumphole and Omicron Delta jumphole. Multiple enemies of ours are now closer to our space from two different flanks and while they don't have the power to take us out, I am sure they can leave nasty damage. On the bright side, we have a new shortcut to Omicron Delta system, aswell as a shorter path to pay a visit to our old "amigos", Outcasts. This is a potential double edged sword situation.
I recommend reinforcing our defences in Omicron Xi system immediately, to prevent any casualities while we can do it.
Afterwards, we were able to scan several Omicron systems. Our old Nav Map data has proven to be useless and we had to navigate manually or ask for directions, which most hombres we have encountered were happy to provide. Since full system scans were too demanding for only 2 fighter ships, all the data we have gathered is not final and will need further updating.
Here is the list of the systems and some notes included for each system:
As mentioned earlier, this system can now be accessed via Omicron Xi. We didn't scan the whole system, but we have noticed that installation Lab Reactor HQ has acquired a third extension, which is impressive considering this system is known for high Nomad activity.
Here is where things got interesting. We have discovered a path to a forgotten and yet very familiar system we have not seen for years, which is next on the list...
It is indeed accessible again and its radiation levels are as bad as I remember. In this system we have encountered several capital ships, one being a Zoner Colony ship and the other two ships were Core battleships which had no interest in us. Our eyes have caught an installation called Kadesh Orbital Colony and shortly after reaching it a vessel with a callsign (\^/)Lyra has greeted us and provided us with directions to Omicron Minor system, thus saving us a lot of valuable time.
This system has not changed a single bit, visually at least, but our new Nav Map data has shown some changes. A jump hole to a newly discovered system Omicron Nu and a jumphole leading to Omicron Chi, a system which we can't access from Omicron Xi anymore.
Another big surprise was The Order Primary Fleet vessel that has provided us with a warm welcome and even gave us the coordinates to Omicron Nu jumphole. Possible cooperation against our common enemies was mentioned and capitan of The Order vessel has confirmed one more thing. Outcasts are indeed cooperating with The Core! They claim they have strong evidence too. Regardless, I am wondering why is The Order suddenly acting friendly to us?
I have included some of the logs that will prove to be relevant:
[08.09.2020 20:14:01] Order|CV-Aleppo: RO: This is O.C.V. Aleppo of the Order Overwatch. We're picking up unknown ships. Identify yourselves. Over.
[08.09.2020 20:14:18] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Hola Order craft
[08.09.2020 20:14:22] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: I'm picking up some transmissions here
[08.09.2020 20:14:42] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: It is indeed an Order vessel
[08.09.2020 20:14:46] Order|CV-Aleppo: Corsairs, welcome to the Minor. We're satisfied to see you here.
[08.09.2020 20:14:56] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: We are a patrol from Crete. We're investigating anomalies that changed our maps
[08.09.2020 20:15:09] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: That's an unexpected welcome
[08.09.2020 20:15:15] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Indeed
[08.09.2020 20:15:31] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Well, I'll take it as a good sign
[08.09.2020 20:15:33] Order|CV-Aleppo: It's indeed true. Anomalies have drastically changed and their connections. We need to conduct proper analysis.
[08.09.2020 20:16:00] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Captain, do you already know any anomalies locations in this sector?
[08.09.2020 20:16:10] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Same goes for us. It's critical for our tactical positioning
[08.09.2020 20:16:33] Order|CV-Aleppo: We have knowledge of several, and I can orientate you if necessary.
[08.09.2020 20:16:45] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: That would be immensely helpful
[08.09.2020 20:16:51] Order|CV-Aleppo: Do bare in mind our knowledge is limited, we're also fairly surprised.
[08.09.2020 20:17:11] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: *noting in his notebook: Order wants to help*
[08.09.2020 20:17:38] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: So far, we were able to discover a jumphole connecting Omicron Xi and Omicron Delta. That makes our space closer to deep
[08.09.2020 20:17:40] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Omicrons
[08.09.2020 20:17:43] Order|CV-Aleppo: Have you detected any sights of Nomads in the area?
[08.09.2020 20:17:59] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Only a low threat ones like these here
[08.09.2020 20:18:29] Order|CV-Aleppo: You're closer to the Delta sector now... Interesting. That could open up more opportunities.
...
[08.09.2020 20:19:44] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: But your command should communicate with our command in case you think that... cooperation... is possible
...
[08.09.2020 20:20:43] Order|CV-Aleppo: Cooperation... We slightly assisted in the battles your people have previously had in Kappa.
...
[08.09.2020 20:21:33] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: The Brotherhood was not involved in Omicron Kappa system lately
...
[08.09.2020 20:22:34] Order|CV-Aleppo: Corsairs, we'll send everything through a more-secured channel.
[08.09.2020 20:22:45] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: That would be very helpful, capitan
[08.09.2020 20:22:58] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Awaiting transmission
[08.09.2020 20:23:25] Order|CV-Aleppo: We should experience no problems here.
[08.09.2020 20:23:46] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Si
[08.09.2020 20:23:48] Order|CV-Aleppo: As for the Jump Hole locations. Where are you headed towards?
[08.09.2020 20:23:51] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Capitan, about the cooperation, I will have to leave that decision to Senor Ladron and our Elders
[08.09.2020 20:24:20] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: About cooperation with BFC, I would leave that to our command as well
[08.09.2020 20:24:21] Order|CV-Aleppo: Affirmitive pilot.
[08.09.2020 20:24:55] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: I can however share my oppinion. Making it easier to weaken a common foe is not a bad idea
[08.09.2020 20:24:57] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: We want all the coordinates you have here
[08.09.2020 20:25:11] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Just sectors
[08.09.2020 20:25:24] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: because my map is pretty bare
[08.09.2020 20:25:34] Order|CV-Aleppo: It appears we have some common enemies.
[08.09.2020 20:25:56] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Also, capitan. We have spotted two Core battleships in Omicron Zeta system. You might want to stay away from them
[08.09.2020 20:25:59] Order|CV-Aleppo: I can reveal you some sensitive information regarding the Core, if you didn't know. Up to you.
[08.09.2020 20:26:17] Order|CV-Aleppo: Before resuming to the Jump Holes.
[08.09.2020 20:26:25] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Si, enemies. Talk to Lucia Jaquez about tactical and strategical questions
[08.09.2020 20:26:29] Order|CV-Aleppo: We appreciate the insight.
[08.09.2020 20:26:33] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: But any info on core is welcome
[08.09.2020 20:26:36] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: All ears
[08.09.2020 20:26:51] Order|CV-Aleppo: We've seen the Core cooperate with the Maltese, we have proper evidence.
[08.09.2020 20:27:12] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Whoa! no wonder. Scum is attracted to scum
[08.09.2020 20:27:22] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Mierda! So it is true? I thought my eyes were decieving me few months ago in Omicron Delta!
[08.09.2020 20:27:27] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: But that changes things
[08.09.2020 20:27:31] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Changes mucho
[08.09.2020 20:27:36] Order|CV-Aleppo: You can expect anything...
[08.09.2020 20:27:48] Order|CV-Aleppo: Aleppo needs to move now, unfortunately.
[08.09.2020 20:28:03] Order|CV-Aleppo: We can send youcoordinates for O-Nu and Zeta.
[08.09.2020 20:28:10] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: We have Zeta
[08.09.2020 20:28:13] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: I knew they were lowly bastardos. But they keep digging that hole even beyond
[08.09.2020 20:28:16] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Nu would be useful
[08.09.2020 20:28:25] Order|CV-Aleppo: Nu -- Damietta-6 (D-6).
[08.09.2020 20:28:47] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Rogelio, I am also interested in Nu. That appears to be a newly discovered system
[08.09.2020 20:28:48] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Mucho gracias
[08.09.2020 20:28:53] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Si
[08.09.2020 20:28:58] Order|CV-Aleppo: It is, be careful.
[08.09.2020 20:29:01] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: We'll go there immediately
[08.09.2020 20:29:13] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: It was a fortunate encounter
[08.09.2020 20:29:19] Order|CV-Aleppo: That systems needs to be investigated further.
[08.09.2020 20:29:39] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: *nods* This has been most helpful
[08.09.2020 20:29:40] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Follow me, Cesar
[08.09.2020 20:29:59] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Capitan, allow me to send you coordinates to Omicron Xi jumphole in Omicron Delta
[08.09.2020 20:30:06] Order|CV-Aleppo: Good luck Corsairs, hope to see you soon. Aleppo signing out.
[08.09.2020 20:30:13] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: Oh yeah, where are my manners
[08.09.2020 20:30:17] BFC|Rogelio.Axiotis: We should share
[08.09.2020 20:30:17] Cesar.Gutierrez[TBH]: Sector B4 in Omicron Delta
[08.09.2020 20:30:38] Order|CV-Aleppo: That's greatly appreciated! God speed.
There are multiple things that have caught our attention in this system:
First, we have spotted an unknown Nomad structure, which we have approached from closer range. It was emiting elevated levels of energy, but at the same time, it didn't react to us. We couldn't figure out its purpose.
Another surprise in this system was the presence Liberty Navy, Deep Space Engineering and Lane Hackers. Both me and senor Rogelio were surprised seeing them all the way in Omicrons and we knew there had to be a way they have reached Omicrons. To our shock, we have discovered two ways they have reached this system. A jumphole leading to Alaska system and some kind of an experimental jump gate that I have never seen before, aswell as a DSE vessel stationed next to it. Since this system is way too far from our space, I didn't consider this a top priority intel, however, it is worth noting that the Republic of Liberty has started showing their influence in Omicrons.
We have also spotted about a dozen Liberty Navy capital ships which were either inactive or disabled, and it really made us wonder what is going on there.
Oh, si, one more last thing. We met an Auxesian ship in the vicinity of Alaska jump hole and they still haven't fixed their anger issues.
According to senor Rogelio, this system was affected in a strange way. It was "mirrored", so, a lot of installactions and objects have supposedly switched sides between east and west sides from the Nav Map perspective.
I have several things to note about this system: Lisbon Starbase, an installation belonging to The Order, stationed near two planets, one of them being a moon named Malekula, which has unusual patterns on its surface. They look artificially made and senor Rogelio and I suspect there could be undiscovered artifacts and also a reason why The Order has that installation there.
Rostok Research Station, which has been showing hostile IFF readings and we believe it belongs to The Coalition. It has heavy defences aswell as a cargo extension at its disposal.
Near Rostok we found a jumphole leading to Omicron Beta, but before that, we have decided to scan the system a bit more and Rogelio has discovered a jump hole to a system called Omicron Psi.
WARNING!: This is a Nomad infested system! Avoid it at all costs!
All we could do is take a few camshots before we were overhelmed by Los Calamaros and forced to flee. No significant data was gathered about this system.

So far, everything looks the same, except the jump hole to Omicron Xi is gone. We made our way to the Alien Jump Gate and used it to access Planet Knossoss atmosphere making our way back home to share el rum in the bar!
This concludes the report! I hope all the information we have gathered will be of great use to our Empire.
