To: All Corsairs.
The call to arms by Black Squadron has met with approval from myself, and I assume the rest of the Corsairs. The Black Squadron have assisted us against our targets numerous times at a moments notice, and it would be more than unfair to let them deal with their enemies too.
It has also come to my attention that the Zoners of Freeport 11, which we have worked hard to protect from frequent nomad incursions, are also falling under the guns of the OTF_RU. For no apparent reasons, they seem to be destabilizing the area. Our rear flank is more vulnerable than our already opened and garrisoned frontiers, and this new threat may open up the path to our homeland. This is something that no Corsair can allow.
Hence, I call upon the combined Corsair fleet to shoot the OTF_RU on sight and rid them of this land.
In doing so, you would be serving the greater good of all Corsairs and solidify relations further between the Corsairs, the Zoners and the Order.
I thank you for your undoubtedly positive actions in response to my call.

Greetings, Corsair Elders. My name is Dr. Alexander Zakartist, I am a scientist specializing in Nomad weaponry and vessels, and am currently under the employment of the Order and Black Squadron developing the abilities to adapt to Nomad technology.
After recent discoveries that have been made by myself and my team, we've hit the end of our research abilities from here on Planet Toledo. Our latest project had been creating is what we call an "outer shell", that covers some of the Nomads weaponry, allowing us to use as our own against the horrid species. But we wish to learn more, much more about what other possibilities could happen, but as I said before we've hit the end of what we can do on Toledo, we require to go directly in to the field. In order to do that however, we require a research vessel.
Unfortunetly the Order don't have any vessel that fits what we require. The 015A "Nephthys" is far to small to fit myself and my entire team inside it, and the Osiris Class Battleship is reserved from Order Admirality only, and of course is far bigger then we'd ever need. Though there is one vessel that caught my eye, one that would be perfect for my team, myself, and the equipment we'd be bringing with us. The ship is named the M26 Class Corsair Gunboat, one I believe your shipyards are producing.
So with Fleet Admiral Dustin Hoff's permission to send this transmission, I would like to request one of the M26 Class Corsair Gunboat for our research vessel and will hopefully help us improve our knowledge the Nomads technology. Unfortunetly my team myself doesn't have anything to offer in return other then the information we hold, but if required I could get in contact with Order Admiralty.
I can be contacted over Black Squadron Comm Channels, which I would believe you have access too. I await your reply, thank you fore your time. -Dr. Alexander Zakartist
Team Leader of the Adapting to Nomad Technology Project

To: Dr Zakartist.
Destination: Planet Toledo, Omicron Minor.
I believe we talked on the private channel briefly about this subject, Doctor Zakartist.
Considering the size of vessel you would require for your research to continue, the Brotherhood would be able and willing to provide you with one of our M26 gunboats. As I assume it will be operating almost exclusively deep in hostile space, I assume that you will need the best armaments available. If anything we can supply will be of use to you, then please feel free to purchase it in addition to our gunboat.
With that, I hope your research continues as planned. Those Jellyfish are as much a problem for us as for you, and its incredibly difficult to hold a front which we did not open, as we cannot be proactive against our enemy there. If your research proceeds as planned, then the nomads will have lost at least some of their edge.
That said, I assume the conditions of this agreement have not changed. Once your research has finished, I would appreciate if the blueprints for each type of nomad weaponry you have classed be sent to our databanks on Crete, for reproduction. We already have similar arms in our armouries, but they are under heavy quarantine until further notice.
Assuming that your research does proceed unhindered, only the Brotherhood will have access to these safe versions of the nomad arms. We are well aware that even after your research is completed, the project will still be in its testing phase. A Brotherhood member will be warned every time he requisitions one, that it is potentially hazardous.
We are usually not the ones to stop technology from reaching our brothers, but I am concerned that the distribution of the arms may become too widespread if allowed free usage, and then there may be a fatal flaw, turning Corsair civilisation upside down.
But, that is too far into the future. For now, I wish you well on your endeavors in nomad space, Dr Zakartist. You will find the keys to your new M26 waiting when you reach our shipyards.

Hola brothers and sisters, yesterday was great day for me. I was patroling and exploring secrets of bretonia, and trying to find some traders full of food, and force them to come with me to crete. but i was not succesful. So i decide to move home, to gamma. But when i was in New London near Cambridge jumphole, my scanner show me 2 contacts. Trader escorted with BH gunship. But i was on way home with some new slaves on board, so i decide let them fly. But then my scanner show me another contact, QCR bomber. I was still on way home, but that little bomber pilot was thinking, he can stop me. he open fire on me without word. so i turn my ship back and fire back, then he scream to open chennel something as : Corsair leave. i answer him that now is too late when he first open fire to me. so we was in fight, little bobmer vs corsair gunboat. but he was good, i was able to destroy his shield easy, then i start destroying his hull. but i was still thinking that i only make heavy damage to him, and then i let him alive. But situation change, Bh gunship ask him if he need assistance, he answered yes, so now it was my gunboat vs bh gunship and bomber, not so easy as before but still possible to survive. so i concentrate my fire to gunship, and my guns show that pilot how to destroy shield. but then sn hit destroy my shield so situation was bad. but then i use little trick, bomber pilot was thinking he is safe, because i fireo nly on gunship so he make one big mistake, fly directly to me. so i switch targets and concentate all fire on him, after few seconds his ship explode. Then it was me, little damaged vs that bh gunship. i was thinking he realise that it is impossible destroy me alone, but i was wrong, he stay in fight. so after some turns i stop my ship and i show him what can corsair gb make. he was flying circles around me, hoping he can avoid my fire, but he was wrong. after some minutes he explode. and after this was my way home clean. so i arrive with more slaves as i have before that fight start.

Me, and Crucifix as well as members of Black Squadron ewere alerted today by one Nomad Killer involving Outcasts. 10 Outcasts in Omicron 100. Who knows how they got there or even know abouyt it so We managed to assemble a task force. 1 Neympth, 2 CBombers 9Including Myself, titan and one GB.
Mark.Cane as well as Al got lost. New recruits.
We foudn out Nomad Killer as well as Order Guard (//NPC) got 6 of them. We came in and engaged one sabre near BS Isis. black Squadron joined in with a bomber and Fighter in Delta. Then another came in but we managed to take him down with ease. Thanks to Order Weapon Platforms in Delta. Then Crucifix challenged the Sabre to a one on one. Usign mines Crucifix won the duel.
Well done for reporting all your findings and the events that have been happening of late, Ramirez Gonzales. I must say, most of us including myself are guilty of such forthcomings as writing reports of extraordinary activity in the area.
However, it is with great pleasure that I, along with Elder Yanez and a variety of the centurions promote both Adrian Vasquez and Or Marquez to Centurion status. We've decided this because we have seen a variety of diplomatics from them, as well as their willingness to help out those new to the life of a Corsair. They have also been very dedicated over a long period of time to the Brotherhood and we feel that they are models of what a Corsair should be. They also provide a helping hand with the mounting weight of paperwork... *cough*
Unfortunately, the other elders haven't shown themselves lately so I could not discuss this decision with them. However, I do believe they would agree with us on this decision.
So, objections from any other Elders withstanding, both Adrian Vasquez and Or Marquez are now Centurions of the Brotherhood!
