I think we've got another problem. My patrols had finished for today when, taking off with the Draco I spotted an ORG vessel and, togheter a Forlorn Very Heavy Fighter. Just they noticed about my presence they immediately retired on Dabadoru Station, like if they wanted to hide something. In the absence of a backup to query the Forlorn guy and to destroy the ORG vessel I couldn't do nothing else but next time we should keep an eye on the Forlorn members, that ones who bought some APM equipment some months ago.

Ave Sentinel Sogan!
Your recent report about the Forlorn operative seems quite alarming. If indeed the said pilot was flying one of their faction's obtained AP strikecraft, this may be treated as a violation of AP-Line Terms and Conditions - since she was found colaborating with our enemies, it is in fact indication of involvement in a political conflict. Could you please specify the relation you wittnessed between her and the Order terrorist?
Naturally, the Guildmistress will decide wether to revoke the legality of the Forlorn's usage of APM tech, yet I believe we need to gather as much intel on their misconduct as possible to rule out potentially hurtful misunderstandings.
My last report, sadly, is the only proof that I have for that. For this I'd suggest to increase the activity in that place and to keep an eye on that group. A similar thing, furthermore happened time ago, so I think to know what's the real purpose of that presence. If you want I could assign you a task: To spy the suspect and if something happens, like an engageement, destroy it, tractor his escape pod and bring it to me.

Ave Sentinel Sogan!
Aye Sir! I shall report back to you immediatly after I gather further intel on the suspect pilot. I further advise all Core operatives to do so as well.
God Empress Ruby Hydra,
Fellow Brothers and Sisters,
due to important matters I was expecting not to leave Planet Hammersee for a couple more days. However, Dr. Rosenberg whom I left in charge of further testing the new cloaking device on the Sagittarius-3, reported suspicious activities in Omicron Delta. Three Corsair contacts were spotted outside of Freeport 11, together with a Freelancer of likely Kusarian origin whose ship manifested faint traces azurite. I shall not bore you with the decrypted communication, since it is of no value to our intel. After a while though the Murmillo class Battleship along with a single fighter escort set course for Omicron Rho, closely followed by the Sagittarius whitch stayed in the shadows.
In the meantime I scrambled a small welcome party comprised of Core|WV-Numidia commanded by Luminary Alexander Horace and the Empire's Executrix, callsign Core|Nightmare, and took off from Hammersee to intercept the trespassers before they would flee into the Sigmas or hide in Rheinland out of our reach.
I am pleased to report that the ad-hoc intervention resulted in complete termination of the intruding forces, once again ensuring unchallenged superiority of The Core.
While Guildmistress Nova Hawken established a NAP with the Council of Elders during her time in office, it explicitly points to it being inapplicabe in the event of border violations. As for such no mercy is to be expected. The fighter pilot escorting the Battleship turned out to be a bloody rookie - pitty he chose his fate so poorly. His execution may not have been glorious, but it had to be done.
[25.06.2017 22:04:16] Death: "Ghost.Ship"-S.Spiegel was put out of action by Core|Nightmare (Gun).
[25.06.2017 22:08:22] Death: Harmless.Kitten was put out of action by Core|Martin.McKinsey (Missile/Torpedo).

I have a lead on the Forlorn pilot Kiara Garlow - an extensive report on my stay in Liberty has been submitted to the APM Board, you will find the details >here<. However, as long as she remains under the protection of foreign law, there is little we can do to dispose of her - at least for the time being.
I don't wanna to force you to continue the investigations but if you want, you can continue. That could be one of who know how many members are the Forlorn Hope composed and the purchases of APM equipment was the following if you want to check what they bought. If you see again some other suspects feel free to inform me. Meanwhille, you can continue your job normally.

God Empress Ruby Hydra,
Fellow Brothers and Sisters,
a glorious victory was achieved today over Order forces in Omicron Delta. Battleship OCV-Executor, whitch haressed our positions for several days, has been torn to shreads outside of Dabadoru Station. My regards to Luminary Horace, commander of the Numidia, for his outstanding performance.
[13.07.2017 13:39:15] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: Salve! This is Luminary Alexander Horace, representing the Senate and the People of the Omicron Empire!
[13.07.2017 13:39:43] Core|Martin.McKinsey: This is Templar McKinsey
[13.07.2017 13:39:43] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: OSV Executor, your vessel is currently in breach of our limes.
[13.07.2017 13:39:52] OCV-Executor: This ship is currently busy fighting nomad threat
[13.07.2017 13:40:08] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: The Nomads are noth a threat now. You are.
[13.07.2017 13:40:11] OCV-Executor: We will leave when nomads are gone
[13.07.2017 13:40:37] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: No, you will not. You will leave in a number of pieces, and then the Nomads will leave in a number of pieces.
[13.07.2017 13:40:51] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: This is the Omicron Empire, captain. And we are serious.
[13.07.2017 13:40:55] Core|Martin.McKinsey: Luminary Horace, we shouldn't waste time talking with this one. Fire upon the Order vessel when ready
[13.07.2017 13:41:06] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: As you say.
[13.07.2017 13:43:32] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: You are going to die anyways. If you didn't try to flee, then you would have died a hero.
[13.07.2017 13:44:34] OCV-Executor: Ambitions, ambitions
[13.07.2017 13:44:42] OCV-Executor: You will never learn
[13.07.2017 13:44:42] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: If you wish to fight by your station, then we will destroy your station, too.
[13.07.2017 13:45:00] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: You speak to us with your back turned. Your speech means nothing to us.
[13.07.2017 13:45:14] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: You are defeated already. All you have left are words.
[13.07.2017 13:51:57] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: Have any words for this one, McKinsey?
[13.07.2017 13:52:02] Death: OCV-Executor has died
[13.07.2017 13:52:25] Core|Martin.McKinsey: Good job Luminary!
[13.07.2017 13:52:49] Core|Martin.McKinsey: One Order bastard less to worry bout
[13.07.2017 13:52:59] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: I am a Luminary. My job is to do a good job. If I didn't, I'd be dead.
[13.07.2017 13:56:18] Core|Martin.McKinsey: A fine day I must say
[13.07.2017 13:56:36] Core|Martin.McKinsey: Luminary, get that Battleship repaird
[13.07.2017 13:56:46] Core|WV-Numidia: Horace: Yes. At once.
God Empress Ruby Hydra,
Fellow Brothers and Sisters,
the APM is currently conducting some weapon performence tests with the Core|AV-Quirinus, an AP-358 "Pleco" class gunboat - in the course of which a patrol/recon flight to the Sigmas and upper Omicrons right up to Beta and back was completed.
Additionally three secondary objectives have been fulfilled:
1. Interception of an Outcast arms shipment to Omicron Beta
2. Delivery of captured Outcast pilots and crew to the Cryer research facility Atka
3. Extermination of a Nomad predator along with accompanying entities
Naturally, the intercepted guns were brought safely to Yaren upon debriefing. That would be all for now.
God Empress Ruby Hydra,
Fellow Brothers and Sisters,
I have just received a disturbing piece of intel from the Core|AV-Quirinus, which had just moments ago intercepted a stolen "Mastodon" class Liberty transport, codename "SV-3694[T]", going about Lachesis Field in Omicron Lost. Despite a most thorough searching of the cargo area nothing has been found aboard apart from the crew. Sadly interrogations did not provide any valuable insight into what its mission was. Upon a failed attempt to flee, the suspect vessel was immediatly put out of action.
What troubles me deeply is why the Order had dispatched a ship like this, without any escort whatsoever, in such close proximity to one of our excavation sites. It might have been an attempt on stealing iridium ore, however if so, then those terrorists lack imagination even more then I thought. I advise to intensify Core patrols in Omicron Lost - whatever SV-3694[T] was up to failed this time and we would want to keep it that way.
