re: Trade report and the 'Exiles'
While at South Shields, I noticed a guild request from Falkland wanting mining supplies. I made the jump to Tau 31. Our esteemed leader, Peter Barrington, was patroling near Java and agreed to escort me. It is not everyday that we transports get protection by a gunboat, so I felt it was a god opportunity to make several runs of mining machinery back to Falkland carrying Niobium back to Holman.
While in T23, we encountered a pair of Albatrosses! They were broadcasting an IFF with the handle Exiles|. We approached and they claim to be a race of humans from the old Sol system that was late getting to Sirius and the IMG in Tau 44 took them in. They claim to be 'protectors' of all the IMG. Mr. Barrington and I spoke with them for a while and they seem serious. I personally don't mind having a few friendly ships parked in the Taus taking out pirates and Outcasts. I just hope they don't start attacking the Bretonian authorities and make our situation worse in this war. We must remain neutral in this conflict.
So be on the watch for 'Exiles'. They claim to be friendly protectors of the Guild.
