To: Omicroners || From: Corona Battlegroup - Sylvie557 - 07-07-2011
Greetings,
I represent the Corona Battlegroup, a Liberty Navy Research and Development Wing, and we wish to be able to send a relatively small amount of military ships through Omicron-74, once to reach Omicron Iota and a second time to return to Liberty Space. The reason for this is we have decided to help a independent researcher in his study of the active Nomad trade lanes present in Omicron Iota. As you can imagine this would prove to be a very dangerous task, as Omicron Iota is a system of very high nomad activity, and we hope you will allow no more then two Liberty Navy capital ships, a carrier and one of our battlecruisers, along with a small force of gunboats, fighters, and bombers to help escort his research vessel. To compensate the Omicroners for allowing us passage we will share with you any knowledge we acquire on the expedition. We are willing to negotiate, so if you would like to add any more terms to this request please feel free to do so. I will also attach the researcher's original proposal.

My name is Jack Denton and I am the Captain of the deep space exploration and research vessel Prometheus
A short time ago I published a report of my research into the Kansas system, if you have not read this report it can be found here: http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=103191
The report documents my associate's incounter with what appears to be a Trade Lane ring constructed in the style of the Daam K'Vosh. The ring was inactive but my associate was able to record the ring emitting small amounts of energy. Using this information I have tuned my scanner to pick up this distinct energy signature.
After searching many systems I have picked up what I believe to be a functioning alien Trade Lane.
This Trade Lane is located within Omicron Iota however, as some of you may know Omicron Iota is home to an extremly large population of "Nomads". In spite of the danger I foolhardly tried to take my ship through the Jump Hole and run the blockade. I lost ten men and women and almost died myself.
I have formulated a simple plan to bypass the blockade around the Jump Hole but I cannot do it alone, I will need the help of other pilots. It will be dangerous and some may die, there is however safety in numbers and I believe that the odds of success are fairly high if all goes to plan.
I cannot afford to pay much as I am not a wealthy man and most of my meagre income over the years has gone into the purchase of the Prometheus. However my benefactor, a man by the name of Zeppy, has offered me 18-million credits to be spent on the expedition. I will therefore pay anyone involved in this expedition 3-million Sirius credits (payment will be before the commencment of the expedition). If anyone is interested in helping please leave a reply on this comm channel containing your name, your affiliation and the model of your ship. If this venture generates sufficent interest I will post the plan on this channel.
The goal of my research is to gather data on the alien Trade Lanes, I have no intention of traveling near any alien space stations or other instalations.
Jack Denton, Captain of the Prometheus.
