Coalition and some Hessians have knocked our doors today. I took my Titan to organize a warm welcome. To be fair I did not pay a lot of attention to the capital fight, even though it was massive. Our fleet have won without taking any relevant casulties. I have managed to take out only two enemy crafts this time.
SCEC|Anatoliy.Grachev, unfortunate pilot of Insurget class very heavy fighter. Red.Sickle, Odin class very heavy fighter. Have successfully covered the retreat of heavily damaged SCRA|Vladislav.Vaska and paid for it.
Words cannot describe how overjoyed I was to finally make it out in space above Crete! The Decurion I was given was very basic, but I quickly got to appreciate its supreme agility. I was more than willing to wander around Omicron Gamma, whose stations and planets I've been seeing in the night sky for all my life! I landed on each and every base, got to know the people that keep things running all over our space.
My leisurely stroll across the system was cut short by an armada of what I can only assume where Red Hessians. I'm not an overconfident brat, I knew that if I engaged them my first day outside Crete would be my last. I made it out of the Malvada cloud, where they had been hiding and explored the rest of the systems our people claim as their own.
Omicron Theta was next, and relatively uneventful. Omicron Omega was beautiful, but thoroughly irradiated! Thank God for nanobots keeping my ship in one piece or my trip would have been shorter than anticipated.
In Omicron Xi I received the scare of my life. While exploring in the South Aegean Nebula, some weapons platforms that were not detected by my scanner cut my engines and proceeded to try to murder me. I'm here now, but only thanks to my trusty Decurion! Omega-41 was a mess. The radiation from the Neutron Star made me use up my full supply of Nanobots, and when I came out of the ship at Leon Base, I started vomiting not two hours into my visit! How can these people survive in this radiation? I understand that Leon Base is a necessary evil, but isn't there something else we can do about these poor workers?
All in all, my travels in recent days were the best days of my life. Corsair space is really dangerous, nothing like the atmospheric flights back in Crete. I can only hope I prove up to the task of navigating it and actually protecting it from intruders, like those damn Hessians. What is certain is that my Maiden Flight is complete.
Yours sincerely,

It appears that we have a reason to visit a planet in the Omicron Xi system. With the Rheinlanders' withdrawal we've had more of an opportunity to look through the eastern part of the system and found some interesting ruins in the upper atmosphere of what used to be YK-087 and is now Planet Knossos.
There hasn't been time to survey the remains properly, however I'm counting on some of you to bring us a detailed report. I would suggest against going alone. Let's hope there's not a Minotaur there.
A new mission has been added to the board.
Yours,
