Good day, lackeys employees.
I am posting this to inaugurate the re-development of our new Memo Database. For clerical purposes, employees should provide a rough picture of all convoys of 2 or more craft, major gains and losses, and any notable pirate activity.
Be sure to provide names and addresses of any potential troublemakers, and alert us to any new deals in the making.

That being said, we have a few corporate objectives to be fulfilled in order to get back on schedule. Shipping & Handling Department should immediately get to work moving goods and finding worthwhile trade routes to empty any surplus we have in our depots. We're doing some major inventory downsizing to try and recoup losses on the Harris and Ayr projects.
Offer free samples if you must. Demonstrate the products. Advertise. Explain how Terraforming Technology benefits the consumer at home every day.

The current state on all outstanding projects is as follows:
PLANET ATKA:Behind schedule.
The Rheinland-Liberty war caused a bit of a hiccup, but the situation has stabilized. Cold bay is now open for business. Phase-1 terraforming is still in it's' earliest stages. The main tasks for shipping & handling are exporting Xenobiotics.
PLANET HARRIS:Significantly Behind Schedule
The Tau Wars have very effectively messed up all of our timetables for Harris. It's a money sink that we are obligated to supply. Fortunately, it is in Phase-3 habitability and is in no danger of an environmental relapse.
Harris is dangerous territory, and our main tasks are to supply the remaining outposts and do what we can to keep the Gallics at bay. They have made no aggressive moves on Harris and we belive they will bypass the planet. It serves no logistical purpose to them.
There have however been issues with unpredicted rapid breeding of certain species of Gaian Wildlife. It is imperative that they be gotten off world before they set up their own ecosystem and mess up the situation even further.
PLANET CALIFORNIA MINOR:On Schedule
California Minor is a major hub of operations. Maintaining supply runs and exporting FloraGro should be kept up.
PLANET AYR:Completely Screwed
The occupation of Edinburgh has made the Ayr Project completely untenable. Trust me, we've tried. Our main goal now is salvaging whatever we can from Perth station and trying to destroy any corporate logs that may remain.
Secondary goals in the Edinburgh system will be Hit and Fade strikes by Security Department against the resident Gaians. They've had it too easy for too long. The limey Muppets.
PLANET MIURA:Negotiations Pending
Normalization of relations with Kusari and the GMG following the War are still ongoing, but so far it looks like there will be no problem. If we can secure a contract with the Guild, we might be able to profit off of importing Plutonium and H-fuel for the war effort in return for Stipends from the government and assisting the GMG with terraforming.
And if you find any of those limey turncoats who betrayed us during the war, give 'em a good slap.
PLANET FORRES:Underway
Negotiations are still in progress with the Junkers' Congress, but we're getting the groundwork laid to assist them in making their planet in the Inverness system more habitable. We are to provide both technical and engineering expertise as well as supplies and specialized equipment.
There are a few challenges to be addressed as we get started. Forres is a Hothouse with a significant greenhouse atmosphere. Extensive use of anti-greenhouse mechanisms, air filtration, and cryogenics will be needed.
The second issue is security. Inverness is a known hangout for pirates of all stripes. The Junkers have made some assurances to secure the area, but keep on guard and ensure security division is prepared for this one. Just in case.
OCEANIA SHIPPING PLATFORM:In Progress
Not a major obligation, but maintaining good relations with our partners in Gateway shipping is a priority. Lend them a hand and provide them with supplies if they need it.
SILVER ORE TRANSPORT:In Progress
Be on lookout for additional opportunities to acquire Silver Ore from IMG, Kruger, or DSE. If you run across any co-operative miners, aside from the ones already on our payroll, report them to us.
Make sure you quote prices so we can find the cheapest sources. Also make sure the individuals are trustworthy or affiliated with a larger entity if possible. Maintaining our security apparatus, especially in the Border Worlds, is key.

Today me and and an agent, with the ship name of PFI)Vistula, did an early and fast convoy route of FloraGro-Alien Organisms. Starting off from Cali Minor as usual we managed to reach the Colorado gate... soon as we jumped we encounter ourselves with a xeno... I advice everyone caution when you see the name of such person... Alex.______. it was Alex something, I don't remember.. pretty much easy to encounter, hes always at Colorado gate... or in Colorado side of the gate...
Other than that... it went smoothly. I must say the captain of the 'Vistula' is a fun person to be with. Looking forward on making more convoys with you there Captain.
The shipment was delivered well and I think we both lost like 1 piece of the Alien organisms for the little delay we had.

I got Important news for the Company, Today I managed not only to provide the bank with few credits, but also provide the company with another "Shetland".
With that, we will be able to speed up the restoration projects going on, and suplying our partners too. Our company is finally flourishing, and I hope to see it grow, higher and stronger.
The "Shetland" will be used wisely and with two in our hands, our situation will improve quickly... I hope to see more, and I pray, we may have huges convoys and with them, a few "Shetlands" that will be beatiful.
Also bothered to take a screen, the scenery was really amazing I couldn't stand it. Long live Planetform.
Just doing God's work.

Gentlemen. I'm sending you on Vacation.
Not the kind of vacation where you can slack off and do nothing, but a vacation where you have to work!
With the Harris and Ayr projects completely cocked up behind schedule, we need to start looking for places to hide offshore bank accounts at alternative investments in science and planetary development, in areas out of easy reach of Tax Collectors Gallia.
To that end, I'm sending you on a grand tour of the Omegas, Omicrons, and North Sirius. You will assemble a small convoy of survey craft and proceed tothe following destinations and tasks.
Investigate cometary activity in the Greater Omega-3 region.
Check for investigate the low Omegas and Caymen region for bank account hideouts
Go to the high omicrons and conduct a wide range planetary survey.
Return mineral samples and interesting discoveries.
See if anyone in these regions has money.
Make it back to Bretonia safely
To this end, we have a very specific convoy required, in order to ensure the success of this long range operation. You will construct a convoy consisting of the following ships:
X-11 Shuttle (we already have one)
"Spatial" deep space escort/explorer
"Clydesdale" Bretonia Freighter.
Additional escort fighters.
Repair Ship if possible.
The expedition is tentatively scheduled to begin this weekend, assuming sufficient ships and their crews are ready. I want a report back with available assets in place and their disposition.
