Commander Moreton reporting.

Two things to report, first things first, we found a Liberty Carrier named Red.October in the minefield around the Zeta jumphole in Mu. Turns out the ship has gone rouge, it arrived to transfer four Order prisoners the captain had rescued from one of the stations in Alaska, as well as some Nomad remains. He later had information transferred over detailing information on the Kodiak and Fairsbank stations.

I decided not to follow standard protocol in this situation and instead had the carrier escorted out of Mu under the mroise he'd return with more information on LN and LSF movements and stations near our base. We were also horribly out-gunned, I wasn't prepared to risk sacrificing two good Reshephs to destroy a ship that has proved useful.

Now onto even more important matters.

Earlier today we have been running drills and tests on the Menthu testing the capabilities of her new Spyglass scanner, that has been modified and infused with Gallic long distance and deep scanning technology. During one of these tests we picked up an anomaly in an uncharted corner of the Omicron Zeta system. I assigned agent Rodgers and one of our new recruits, Shane Helmsworth to assist the Menthu in scouting the anomaly.

We found a Core station named Cape Town when nearing the anomaly, how they built a station right under our noses is something, but it gets even worse. The anomaly turned out to be a jump-hole leading to a system stellar-cartographers have named Omicron Rho.

It was thought there was no jump-holes connecting Rho to the web of jump-holes used to get around the Omicrons. We were wrong. Rho has clearly been the home of many of the Core for a good while, in fact I'd go as far as to presume that this might just be their primary base of operations, something that we used to believe existed deep with-in the Omegas.

Upon entry we were engaged by a battle group consisting of one Mako and two support craft clearly stationed there to destroy intruders. Rodgers craft was destroy instantly, but thankfully the Menthu was able to tractor his pod. Rodgers is un-injured and fit to return to duty immediately.

The Menthu and Shane were able to evade the battle group and I had the Spyglass warmed up again. It didn't take a second for the modified Spyglass scanner to pick up two planets as well as a satellite orbiting each one. Nether of the planets were anything of note, however the two satellites quickly proved to be Core stations. One was something I have never seen the likes of that I can only assume is their chief command post, the other was obviously a highly advanced shipyard and dry-dock.

The Spyglass was able to detect another jump-hole long before another sensor array could've picked it up. This hole was just as well guarded as the one from Zeta, and it dropped us out about seven point five klicks Dabadoru station.

I reckon the jump-hole from Delta has existed for a while and the Core have been using Rho as a place to secretly move their primary base of operations closer to the center of their ZoI. While I doubt the hole from Zeta into Rho has existed as long as the one in Delta, how the Core managed to build a station over it without us noticing is quite worrying. They must've moved supplies straight from Rho while constructing the station to avoid our patrols throughout Zeta.

we were fortunate enough to run into some convoys of Clydesdales In Rho and Delta carrying supplies for the Core escorted by Mantas. Each convoy was destroyed and supplies seized for the Order, but there just wasn't enough to make a dent on their lines.

While it must be said that the Spyglass the crew of Menthu have dubbed 'Eyeball' has proved to be a great success, that success has been horribly over-shadowed by the discovery of the Cape Town and the Rho system. There are far to many guesses and speculations at the moment when we need hard fact, I strongly recommend Overwatch makes this our top priority, pulling agents from our attempts to regain some of our lost presence around Sirus if necessary,

It has been less than one standard day on Akabat since my team and I have arrived. Having been debriefed, we were dismissed and free to go. After surveying our surroundings and acclimating ourselves to our new home as it were, we are ready to receive orders. Should none be available at this time, we shall conduct training exercises until we are needed. Those who are able are welcome to join, though I must warn you that our exercises are rigorous and unrelenting.

I am sending you just one of the exercises that we conduct on a regular basis, though details will be adjusted per our location. As of right now, the following is up to date and accurate, per our location on Akabat and the easily accessible docking port in orbit.

Should no orders be received by tomorrow morning at 0600, I would like permission to gather 5 able-bodied volunteers to conduct a mini-series of wargames. The games I have planned involve simulated open-space infantry fighting, simulated boarding actions, and simulated convoy protection. Should these be approved, I will forward details of such games for review and adjustment should they be required.

Due to the effects of a rather large Ion storm, our recon mission was cut short unfortunately, and my team and I had to make haste back to order space for needed repairs.

As such, I thought it fitting to present my preliminary report. Along with Operative Seker and I, a taskforce of SOC units engaged in recon of the Gallic system known as Lyonnais. Our arrival was quick and relatively quiet, and no engagements were garnered from our scouting the system. We were able to observe some traders moving in and out of some of the stations and ports, but nothing of note beyond that. I have attached the drone-cam footage here:

I must apologize, as my initial report was damaged during the subsequent storm, and as such the record of the system can only be delivered partially complete. Once repairs have been completed, my team and I will venture back and get more accurate details.

During our venture into the Lyonnais system, we ventured briefly into the Lorainne system nearby, and during our visit there, we came across a wrecked fighter craft of the Gallic forces. After reviewing the ship's log, we ascertained that the ship was en route to one of the fleets, carrying precious cargo. The pilot and craft met an ill fate, but we were able to recover what cargo this pilot was delivering. The package contained classified documents for some of the nearby systems, and as such I have encrypted them for SOC eyes only.

Of note as well, as our unit has been accepted as operatives of SOC, we have undergone change in squadron name, to better suit the naming conventions of the Order forces. As such, my team and I have chosen the name "Sons of Ra". Future reports, as well as this one, will be sent via SoR encoded transmissions. Attached is the decryption codes.

Sons of Ra squad leader Tanis, reporting in.

Not more than 24 hours ago, we received word of a unknown signature within the derelict system of Omicron Minor. First on the scene, nothing indicated that anything was amiss until scanners picked up a large signature some 30-40 clicks away from the Omicron Zeta jumphole. Approaching with caution, eventually the scanners ascertained the source of the reading. A drifting Libertonian Dreadnought, named the "Colossus". Sensor readings indicated it was without power, but the hull appeared intact. At that time, I held at 5 clicks out until the arrival of the "Osiris", soon to be followed by recon cruiser "Dark Symphony" from the 141st fleet. Attached are the drone images capturing my arrival:

:::Click to download Drone-Cam image:::

Immediately, the Osiris dispatched a boarding party equipped with radiation suits and equipment to ascertain if there was any danger in sending in teams. Fortunately for us, no radiation or toxic signatures were present. At that time, 2 teams were dispatched. Team 1 entered first with 5 men, heading towards the engineering section to see about establishing power. Team 2, with 4 men under my lead, made our way towards the bridge, in hopes of checking ship logs and accessing the ships database once minimal power was restored.

After navigating our way to the bridge in zero-gravity, we positioned ourselves on the bridge deck, grav-boots engaged to the floor while waiting for Team 1 to provide power. Over the comms, we received word that Team 1 had reached the reactor, and were able to activate the secondary cores to provide power such as lights, gravity, and computer systems. Weapons, shields, and engine remained offline, as they were tied to the main reactor core.

When the consoles came active, we immediately began reviewing and transferring ship data over to a secured, partitioned section of the Osiris mainframe. While the transfer was in motion, I started reviewing the last logs of the ship. Some were removed and deleted, but the last intact log indicated that the captain, as strange as this sounds, abandoned ship for reason as simple as "not needing it anymore". It appeared as though with that message, he sent it to Liberty space. At that moment, I comm'ed Osiris, informing them that we may have company shortly.

Finishing the transfer of ship data, we made our way towards the hanger bays, to RV with Team 1, who managed to collect pieces of the ship's experimental cloaking device. Once we arrived, and noticed that the hanger still had a full wing of "Guardian" heavy fighters, members of each team piloted the craft back to the Osiris and Symphony.

Not a moment later, Liberty forces arrived with a mix of LSF fighters and SFC ships. As the last of the team boarded both of our vessels, and myself back in my fighter, Osiris command issued orders to scuttle the Liberty ship. Upon opening up, the Liberty forces engaged all Order ships. Very quickly though, they proved themselves inferior, with the destruction of the SFC ships, and the subsequent fleeing of LSF fighters. Myself and Symphony chased one of the fighters back to the Ellesmere jumphole, but received orders not to follow into the jumphole, but to return back to the fleet. During the fight, my drone was able to capture the subsequent fleeing of the LSF ships after we removed the SFC ships:

All in all, operation "Jackal" was a success. We suffered no losses, and received valuable intel and resources. Hopefully pieces of the cloaking device will assist our own engineering in fine tuning modules of our own.

On a side not, before embarking towards Omicron Minor, my computer received a interesting news bulletin. I should make note, that I have my computer tapped into Sirius wide news channels in order to keep track of anything of importance that may be of interest to us. With that said, news from Bretonian space indicated that a "Blodo the Fatboii" was responsible for a drastic shortage of food on Glasgow station in the Leeds system. perhaps this "Fatboii" should be put on a Order watch list, considering his actions sparked a breaking new headline across Bretonian space. I have attached the new bulletin here for review:
