I have a few questions, particularly what you 'envision' the Omicrons to be.
How is your stance with the Corsairs? Do you truly wish to maintain the Neutrality? Are they really that beneficial? What of the Outcasts? Do you have any specific goal for the Omicrons? Would you be interested in subjugating the Omicrons from the Core's and Order's control? Would you find it beneficially mutual to strengthen our relationship in order to reinforce our influence in the deeper Omicrons and Omegas? There are some several Core outposts that we believe, that with our cooperation, we can easily vanquish those within the Omegas. Perhaps, one day, in the future, we can take Omicron Rho will fall under our care, the rightful owners.
And on another note, does the Units of Gammu require any specific resources? We believe we can establish a stable economic connection to your home world, of course, you can offer the compensation as necessary. We have connections, a different philosophy which some people may look down upon, but in the end, I believe we can further ourselves than most people. Most residents of Sirius are... technologically lacking in comparison to both of our organisations. It's only a shame we're limited by our access to resource pools. It's time to find a way to remove this restraint for the betterment of ourselves, hm?

Hello Raven,
I will gladly answer your questions and satisfy your curiosity considering the Omicrons.
Currently our stance with the Corsairs is a neutral one with occasional combat support if necessary. As for maintaining it, as long as we do not need to spend any resources, we would want to keep this status, although they have not been as beneficial as expected from the start. As for the Outcasts, we have not had any direct contact with them so far. We would much appreciate the information about them you can share with us.
For now, our main goal for the Omicrons is preservation and expansion, which both the Core and Order threaten with their actions, both estimated and recorded.
As told, expansion is indeed a goal we pursue, however we must ask what you ask in exchange? Simple combat and construction assistance, or is there more to this? I would appreciate further elaboration on this matter.
We only possess limited information about the Omegas in general, so cooperation in gathering data about them, as well as possibly annexing any already existing constructs seems favorable.
Omicron Rho has been a point of interest for a long time, though it was too heavily guarded up until now. However, if we were to weaken the Core with this cooperation, a siege from all available sides with your assistance might drain the Core to a point where the PRIME could impose its power on Rho. I hope, however, you do not leave out an additional compensation for us other than the Core's end.
Indeed, we are in need of certain resources unavailable to us in the Omicrons. Namingly "Plastic" and "Gold", which we would be grateful if Auxesia could provide for us. If you accept to supply these commodities, please place them in the vicinity of the "Supply Depot FPS 07" in Sector "G 3/4" of Omicron Lost. One average sized transport for each would be enough for our needs.
I agree, Raven. Our organisations have been restrained by oppositions for long enough. It is time to break the shackles and show Sirius the mechanical roar.

Guten Abend
Forgive Auxesia's delayed response, as Keeper Revenant has handed authority of this over to me and the crew presiding aboard the Andraste. We have worked closely with PRIME in this sector, and have been fortunate enough to nest in Omicron Kappa and have mutual relations with PRIME.
Regarding the factions of Hispania... The Corsairs and Outcasts dominate their certain parts of the Omicrons and Sirius overall. The Outcasts have noted domination over the Northern Omicrons and Taus, notable in Omicron Alpha, Omicron Beta, Omicron Phi, Omicron Tau. Feel free to refer to any Tau, as Outcast influence is high in any of those systems, along with a contested presence with the Corsairs in the Sigmas. The Corsairs preside vastly over Southern Sirius in Omicron Gamma, Omicron and Omicron Omega, many Omega systems are also very popular with the Corsairs as well as the previous mention of the rivalry with the Outcasts in the Sigmas. For both group, I'd recommend mostly just staying away from their shinys, as they rather pride themselves on their illegal trade.
Speaking of Expansion, Auxesia is also looking to expand in the Omicrons, notably for research, and we are willing to work closely with PRIME to establish our goals in the Omicrons and work together in accomplishing them. Omicron Rho has been a topic of interest for us for quite a while. Auxesia would be willing to assist PRIME in weakening this system since Core has imposed very strict power across this system for some time, but with the both of us working together we could weaken with our cooperation and resolve. If Auxesia and PRIME were to work together in draining the Core's power from this system, then PRIME would be able to impose its power over the system and force the Core out, however Auxesia would want a share of this too, so we could discuss later how the system can be split, because if we were to work together in capturing this system we will split the territory.
Our only caution in assaulting Rho is that the Order may take the opportunity to come in and wipe out PRIME, Auxesia, and the weakened Core fleet all at once. While its not impossible to deter, we have to remember what we would face if we do exercise out expansion in the region, as it would be met with resistance from our other main hindrance in the region.
However the Order will not be able to stop our cooperation, Auxesia has a logistics fleet willing to provide for our... 'conquest' and we will certainly help PRIME, we will deliver any plastics and gold to Gammu in Omicron Kappa, as we cannot travel to Omicron Lost. It is our best bet to offer resources to PRIME, as we can't safely deliver any resources to Omicron Lost. I personally have been looking forward to our two groups working together since we began our relations a while ago, and in the pursuit of knowledge the Andraste and all of Auxesia would work with PRIME. I work for the advancement of Auxesia's knowledge and our mission in Sirius, and will gladly work with PRIME to further both of our agendas.
It's something I remember, and I hope all of us remember...

It is my pleasure to "meet" you, Venator Dryard. Logically, I know of the Andraste's position in Omicron Kappa. You may refer to me as Empathy, or - if need be for a more "human" name - Ethan.
We thank you for your share of information about the Outcasts, especially the information regarding their relation to the Corsairs. Luckily we do not partake in trade, nor do we feel the need to intrude it, so the Hispanics can keep their "shinys".
As for the logistics you can provide, we'd be grateful if you would pass them on to Kappa's sub-orbit. There will be a way for us to collect them to the surface from there. Some visual confirmation would be expendable as well, would it not?
Now, we are willing to cooperate and work with Auxesia, both in research and combat, no matter if the enemy is the Core or the Order. If they stand in our way and greed for our technology, they are a target.
I am sure you have made some scientific progress in subjects we cannot perceive, as much as we have developed in parts you fail to understand yet. So a fair trade regarding this data would prove negotiable. After all, you are correct...

Guten Abend
It is my pleasure to make formalities Empathy, and we have worked on any requests possible to satisfy the PRIME.
The Auxesian logistics fleet has worked on transporting gold and any other materials to Gammu's surface, find guncams and datalogs from the Lacerta transport embedded below Attached - LV-Lacerta
Concerning a fair trade regarding scientific data, Auxesia is also willing to provide any knowledge we have of a topic on PRIME's request. Logically this would go both ways, so we'd expect PRIME to be willing to communicate any inquiries the Inner Phalanx has.
Now, we do have one short inquiry... We are concerned with the AI's feelings on Artifacts and Xeno Relics, as they are popular trinkets with a lot of mystery surrounding them. It would be appreciated to know the Gammuian's stance on this for Auxesia's future look into it.
If that is all, then the Andraste will return to its normal position as a research laboratory in Omicron Kappa, and will serve as a defense platform for PRIME if such a situation arises.

The PRIME thanks Auxesia for the especially quick delivery of the requested mineral. The addition of the remaining Plastic will be awaited with patience. We’d be grateful if you were not to forget about it, as it is essential.
Concerning the questions you might ask, there is simply the limitation to not asking unreasonable questions. I’m sure there will be no need to explain further. We deem your intellect sufficient to comprehend what we mean by that. Otherwise, we’ll answer as our database allows.
It is fascinating to us that these “artifacts” seem to be the source of many affairs and troubles. We do not care much for them, as we only see them as trinkets. We would have yet to record any reaction of use for us. Though, maybe Auxesia knows of a way or method to bring a use out of them? We’d ask you to share what you know about these “artifacts” and “xeno relics”, as you call them.
Lastly we’ve grown curious as to what has caused activity to grow in Omicron Delta. The amount of vessels traversing from Omicron Gamma through Omicron Kappa to reach the Freeport, as well as the amount of hostiles in Omicron Delta have grown exponentially. We’ve been able to record an increase of transmissions coming from and reaching for Freeport 11, however we did not feel the need to break their encryption. Does Auxesia know about this? Does it have to do with the alleged “second siege” of the Core, that Harvester Unit “Eta” recorded on its last patrol?
I apologise for the lack of response, as we've been trying to calculate our bearings concerning the Omicron Delta incident, which has lead to a NEMP Bomb being activated on the Freeport due to rising hostilities. To inform you about the on-going situation, I will forward you some read-only communications and describe the scenario briefly.
The first transmitted message was this emergancy tranmission, followed by this. The scenario had started off from two individuals, known as Iona and Lars Dross - captain of the Arcadia - assisting the Order in combat against the Core. We are aware of these two individuals, primarily due to their persistance to be annoying, and Dross's probable infestation with the Nomads.
By demand, these two individuals were to be ejected from the Freeport, to which the individuals declined, and the Zoner Confederation had taken too long to respond. These two Zoners had the mentality of them thinking that they cannot be punished and are able to get away with anything, just because they're a Zoner. This attitude also caused the Core to initiate an attack against the Freeport, a Core individual known as Jess seemed to lead the spearhead of the bomber run against the Freeport, finding her new 'friends' sufficient to take on the forces. These friends were the K'Hara along with a suspicious individual named Kyouko Sasaki, who was seen during the attack and at activation of the bomb. Said person was also noted for sending out a threat to carry out the attacks. As for the Zoners, in retaliation, they were - naturally - angered, only fueling this emotion further when the Core revealed over a public communication that they have captured a very important friend of ours. Finn McCool of IRG, a Research Organisation. Of course, by natural reaction, the Zoners plan to go to war.
Aftermath of the Nuclear Electromagnetic Bomb.
We're unsure what to do, but we know for certain that we must find out the status of Finn, as he does... know some valuable knowledge that is dear to us. I am currently in Omicron Kappa with the Battlegroup along with some assets, currently laying low due to the high Corsair and Core presence, and taking a minor rest from eliminating multiple Order vessels. If I missed any details in my explanation, then I apologise, as I'm fatigued from the recent events.
As for the Plastic shipment, it is currently being handled by an Independant Miners Guild Pilot, though, we have yet to hear from them. Slightly disturbing, but probable that it's hindered by these events.
Concerning Artifacts and Xeno Relics, well, they do serve a purpose to an extent. These 'trinkets' are linked to the Nomads, not only by inherited nature, but also by material to an extent. There are also chances of active Artifacts, which can lead to possible discovery of how telepathy can operate, how they handle energy, or how the material can be put to use, so on. Without Artifacts, reverse-engineering of 'Adapted Nomad Weapons' wouldn't have been possible. All Artifacts vary in shape, type and form, whilst they're not guaranteed great results, they would at least be resourceful for something. Though, for Relics, their purpose has yet to be determined, but great potential is seen within them due to some trace residual energy being detected in the majority of the Relics.
The Corsairs see no value in these items beyond them "looking pretty" and choose to be ignorant, selling them off for profit instead. Typical.
Are you interested in this scenario concerning the Core and the Zoners? I'm curious due to the reason that the Corsairs and the Order may attempt to exploit this situation in order to seize more territory. I really don't want that happening, primarily due to the fact that I have more internal information about the Core than these listed groups. Not to mention, Finn, of course.

Be sure, PRIME will act as to not let the Order nor the Core book any victories. While the Zoners are not much of an interest point for us, we will assist them - if welcome - against the Core. It is strangely... satisfying to see the opportunity of the first siege against the Core open up this soon.
The nomads are still a dominant entity in the Omicrons, and it does not look like this will change in the future. However we have indeed grown curious, as nomadic contact seems to have shown more encounters which do not end in the usual way, this being the destruction of the human vessel. As the nomads are a biological entity without electronical technology, it is only logical they can not understand us. However, the possibility of Auxesia posing as a mediator could prove useful. If willing, we would propose to actively search for nomadic entities willing to communicate rather than engage in hostilities, with the help of Auxesia translating for us and the nomads.
If for this, the addition of artifacts or relics is mandatory, let us know so we can gather the necessary amounts of nomadic trinkets for this experiment.
Considering the individual Finn McCool, we will report any signs of him directly to you, or if possible transfer him to you, if found.
Lastly, contacting the IMG ordered to fulfill the Plastics delivery again might do good. We need this resource.
Due to the situation of the... Freeport and its dilemmas, our main forces have pulled back. Though, there are still some selected few squadrons available up there to assist if need be. The Freeport is fully repaired, and no words of Finn was heard.
Concerning the Nomads, that... may be unlikely nearing impossible. They care very little for anything that isn't theirs. It is their biological imperative to destroy anything that is not theirs, but... one interesting group of Nomads, known as the Vagrants, seem to lack some of these qualities. It is said that they are disconnected from the main Mindshare of the Nomads - their mindhive network - and were the 'lost' ones from the Nomad War. Though, it may be possible to initiate some form of social experiment with them. These Vagrants seem to be more willing to communicate than to destroy - for now. I will not risk my people to die in attempt to communicate with the Main 'Hive' but - we can certainly try something with these Vagrants, but there is no guarantee.
As for the shipments, we're going to give them a nudge about it.
