Recently, a group of Auxesian ships have made their way into the Omicrons in order to find the cause that rendered one of our recon drones inoperable. The group consisted of following ships/pilots: Specter, SV-Artemis, Jari Aalto, Serpentis, Phantom (dropped out early), ACV-Redshift (joined later)
The mission started at Barrier, from which we headed through the Omegas to eventually reach Gamma. From there, Delta wasn't far and we made our way into the cloud to investigate where the missing drone had disappeared to. What we found was quite... astounding, to say the least. It seems like the Nomads have begun constructing a massive object, Seemingly carved from giant asteroids... or in this case planetoids. It looked like an excavation side of sorts at the first couple of glances, but after finding out what was inside, it is logical to assume that it was built quite recently. We also found out that several others pieces of planetoids were scattered around the rest of the cloud, making additional constructs possible in the future. We also found deposits of Azurite gas flying around in the center of the main structure. Samples which the Artemis has now in possession.
After we returned to the Freeport for repairs, the ACV-Redshift, Jari Aalto and me made our way into Omicron Lost for a rather routine patrol to investigate possible changes in the environment. We found an intact station called Outer Rim University. While I've heard of this name before, not many people seem to be visiting anymore at all, as the structure appeared to be abandoned. After that, the sweep of the sector continued and we found yet another planetoid to the north-east of the sector. Initial scans revealed that it contained Iridium. Scans of the asteroid field around it indicated the same and we were able to fetch some samples which were eventually also transferred to the Artemis.
After our return from Lost, we headed back to the large Nomad structure to find out two scientists, namely Thallia Thorn and Hans von Goeben were investigating the structure. Unfortunately our presence had also alerted the Nomads at this point and soon we had to pull away in order to prevent loss of life. Which we successfully did. And so did the Scientists. Concluding our operations in the Omicrons, we then headed back to Coronado via Rheinland and Liberty.
All in all, quite eventful with revelations of potential new Nomad technology or even some sort of outpost. Time will tell what we're dealing with and I hope this report is helping with that. The rest of the attachments are found below.

Listen up,
Cincinnati's just been escorted from Kansas to Sabah in Coronado, as the Crayterians so kindly allowed us the use of a drydock and temporary access to the Sabah production facilities. Heard some Outcast got blasted along the way. Good riddance.
So here's the deal. While we've got them, we're going to make good use of those facilities and manufacture a set of four AR-101 “Arclight” Battleship Primary Turrets and another four AR-102 “Lastlight Mk II” Battleship Secondary Turrets. In addition, we're swapping out the Tachyon cannons for some C-18's, bought from the Colonials. The manifest for the needed resources will be attached below, so get to work on this. Bring it all to Sabah, and we'll start putting them to good use.

Lastly, leave the record of your deliveries on the uplink, and make sure your ship is cleared to approach. We don't need more repairs on our hands.
The Logistics Vessels Atlas and Eridanus have completed the needed shipments of Gold, Nanotubes and Optical Chips. Evidence and updated shipping manifest below.
I went on a patrol with Keeper Raven. She is a great leader, leading most operations herself, not like the Guild Keepers of The Core who choose to stay in safety and do not care about their solider’s lives. The patrol plan took us across the borders of Republic of Liberty. The Patrol had no interesting or shocking event for our organisation except meeting a freelancer unknown to me, she was using nickname "Em" and her ship name "Vibrant.Songs". That person was referring to some code related to Blood Dragons and the Nomads. Keeper Raven seemed pretty interested in that. "Em" told her that the complete code had "5" parts, and she was hiding said parts all over Sirius. One of the part of code she gave to Keeper Raven. I am really curious about what this code is meant for; why she gave it to us.

Attached is the promised update on the weaponisation of quark-gluon plasma projectors. Unfortunately I may not be available for the pre-planned meeting with the Keeper and Curator, so this should keep for the interim.
The development of the prototypes have been relatively painless considering the enormous number of engineering challenges compact singularity core production and exotic plasma fusion necessarily creates. Since the technology scales well, provided we can preserve the exceptional cross-unit build quality control requirements that multi-PeV microsupercolliders require, we should be able to produce a series of part-interchangeable modular infantry armament solutions from the stock hand-cannon model - everything from micro-explosives to anti material rifles with a horizon limited range. The basic physics are as follows:
A miniaturised version of our singularity reactors are inserted into stock of the cannon. Since the singularity itself is ostensibly tiny (black hole nuclei are not known for their size), and dynamo commutators are not exactly revolutionary, the core elements of the architecture are simple enough. The primary sticking issues are the minimal size of the exotic graviton generators required to keep the singularity stable, but again, antigravity has had a maximal technological readiness level for centuries. More difficult is the production of tiny supercolliders to produce ton to kiloton quantities of gluon plasma on demand and the projection of a magnetic delivery bottle of significant integrity to withstand beam jamming and compact shield meshes. The ultimate pain in the ass is good old thermodynamics - how to stop the weapon from suffering instantaneous overheat events every time you turn the dam thing on, mostly by ensuring most of the energy gets ducted into the plasma ball instead of into the hand of the user, but there’s a hard limit. Extremely hard firing of the weapon may result in a loss of field stability, especially in the presence of extremely powerful electromagnets or in the low orbit of suns. Like I said, not perfect yet, but good enough for field work.
I had Tacitus shoot a few sims. From the gathered ballistics data, I’ve been able to illustrate what happens to the gluon bloom when it impacts armour or shields. The results are devastating. If there was physical flesh behind that lattice, it’d instantaneously explode from the energy release. Just imagine what it’d do to infantry armour.
I’ve monikered the system theModular Assault System Solution, or MASS, to accompany our MWS units. Be advised if you’re not going to use it with the MWS armour, I’d advise a retinal implant upgrade if you have one if you want to be able to actually aim the gun. I’d prefer not putting iron sights on these if I really can avoid it, or just generally to give reasons not to stick the prototypes against your face. If the field fails, they’ll be hotter than the core of a supernova. Once the initial bugs are worked through, I hope to replace all of our current firearms with these homegrown replacements. Not only do we get a sorely needed measure of hardware independence, these infantry weapons should be decades ahead of anything the Order or Core have at their disposal, let alone the Houses. You can thank me by giving most of ordinance research a week's paid leave, preferably Curacao. They're at the wire right now and need the R'n'R.

Curator, me, Guardian Khan and Noah Xonnel initiated the exchange with the
defected Outcast pilot, Captain Kadego Sudrossa, also known as Cpt. K. In this exchange, Khan programmed him a jammer for his vessel - making him appear as a transport on scanner - in exchange for a sample of an Outcast Destroyer Turret. We arrived at the designated location and the transaction was successful. The Redeemer contained the piece of technology, safely hauling it back to the Vault, securing it there.
Reports from the engineering indicates that the turret is genuine and not a hoax. Of course, this'll give us an interesting opportunity on the field of development.

Production of the AR-101's and AR-102's should be completed within the next several days. Following the refit, the Cincinnati will return to active duty. In addition to returning to duty, the Cincinnati will become known as the Arktos. The legacy of the vessel will be remembered and documented, and its total transition into the fleet will have then been completed.
