Comrades, after a rest and resupply following my trip to the Hispania, I went on an anti-piracy patrol through Omega-3 and Omega-7. At Aland Shipyard, I encountered a DSE transport, the Black Phobos, with a rather nervous captain. It appears that Alliance propaganda is still painting us as criminals. He was initially startled at my arrival, but I managed to put him at ease and convince him I wasn't an enemy. Apparently, the Black Phobos had been under fire since entering the system. I assured him that the Coalition was there for his protection and encouraged him to spread the word.

[17.07.2018 18:53:03] Black.Phobos: John: Hello there! [17.07.2018 18:53:04] SCRA|Kim.Ye-Jin: No need to panic. I'd never trouble an honest worker.
[17.07.2018 18:53:23] SCRA|Kim.Ye-Jin: Keeping safe, I hope? [17.07.2018 18:53:25] Black.Phobos: John: Everyone wants to kill me here.
[17.07.2018 18:53:49] Black.Phobos: John: I am just trading, I am not killing anyone here.. [17.07.2018 18:54:00] SCRA|Kim.Ye-Jin: The Omegas are a dangerous place for honest folks. That's why I'm patroling. Hopefully to make it safer for people like yourself. [17.07.2018 18:54:11] Black.Phobos: John: Thanks, I appreciate it! [17.07.2018 18:54:32] SCRA|Kim.Ye-Jin: It's all part of the service. Tell your friends, they've got nothing to fear from the Coalition! [17.07.2018 18:54:42] Black.Phobos: John: I will.
[17.07.2018 18:54:48] Black.Phobos: John: Thanks for that. [17.07.2018 18:54:57] SCRA|Kim.Ye-Jin: You're welcome! [17.07.2018 18:55:11] Black.Phobos: John: Now I will move to the Jump Gate!
[17.07.2018 18:55:48] Black.Phobos: John: Have a nice day! [17.07.2018 18:56:01] SCRA|Kim.Ye-Jin: You too. We'll be continuing our patrol.
I've since completed my assigned patrol, and am resupplying at Freeport 1. From here, the plan is to scout out Gallic positions in Bretonia.
I certify this report complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge,

My Dear Comrades,
as it was a great honour for me to fly my first mission under the red banner, I may greatly report my success on this mission. It was a long trip to Omicron Alpha but it was completely worth it, Outcast patrols are not really that refined with scouting around their sectors. Those blindfolded outcasts were to slow to catch my ship and thought they could catch a Fighter with a Dreadnought. I will send you all needed images to prove my work up there.
As I have entered the Hispania Debris field I investigated several parts of the sleeper ship. Of course the pod section as the primary target.

I've received a call from M.Selim's vessel. The source came from DUblin ed actually the Premier needed assistence. So, I immediately set the route toward O49, the shortest way to Dublin, and I also met Commissar De Grasse, he too en route to the place of the call. Once reached Arranmore Base, we got the radar and eye contact with our comrades. The Premier and the "Rote Baron" were under attack by some Gallic forces. At the sam vessels, the gallic side with e time of our arrival, another MRG officier, a BAF one and a Gallic GB reached the site too. The deployed forces counted about MRG, a militant VHF, and a gunboat, for the gallic side, and one BAF officier, a bretonian pilot, and our team. The battle had just become more intense and dangerous. The Premier and the Field Marshall coordinated the team engaging the objectives, attacking in turn the Gallic forces. The pursuit have been long, but we managed together to destroy the gallic snubs quickly.
Lastly the gunboat. I thought for a moment that it could be a problem, but joining our forces, we've destroyed it easily.
The recent actions had let us thought of the fate of the Bretonian systems under the terrible control of the Gallics. We may have the force and the spirit to set a new horizon for this scenery.

Junior Lieutenant Vasilyev.
Consider this the first of many assignments you'll be undertaking in the name of the Coalition. Once you have equipped yourself, I expect you to undock from Zvezdny and begin your pilgrimage to the Hispania. You may take any route you please to get there and return, just ensure that you do not antagonize the Bretonians in doing so, and of course avoid getting yourself killed.
Once you arrive at the Hispania, interface and access its barely operational ship manifest and add your name among the many others that have fallen in line with our cause. Do this and return, eliminate or evade opposition, that is your choice. I expect a report regarding your pilgrimage soon.
Do not fail.

Event description, Hispania Assignment
Privet! It's my pleasure to make my first report as well as to finish my first assigment. I'm writing about the Hispania assignment, the visit of it. I analyzed the Hispania ship and down bellow you should be able to see some infomation and the current look of the ship.
As I said I have finished my first Assigment, Hispania Assignment. I went thru some dangerous sistem as well as some nice looking sistems. It was an interesting journey. Now. First let me show you the picture of the beginning of my journey.
Moving to the destination point.
After some time, I've finally reached my destination point. That was a pretty long journey. Now, here's the picture of the ship in the Debris Field. This is a closer look of that ship. I was kind of lucky that there was no Outcast vessel patrolling. They don't seem to be interested, which wasn't expected.
Analyzing the Hispania ship.
Now when I have finished with analyzing the ship. I decided to move, because you never know when they will show up. I entered the cruise-mode and marked my destination point into my navigation map. I pretty much went the same way I came from. I'm happy you gave me this assignment and I hope that there will be more in the future. After all, I'll do anything for the Coalition.
Here's the picture of me docking in the Zvezdny Gorodok.

Junior Lieutenant Koutolika.
Your first official assignment for the Coalition will be as follows.
You might have come to us with a grand set of merit and praise from your mentor, but in the Revolutionary Army, every pilot that enlists is seen as the same from the start. Your task will be a pilgrimage to the wreck of the Hispania currently located in Omicron Alpha, the route you take to get there and the means by which you choose to accomplish this objective are your own decisions to make, you will be alone in this however. Visit the wreckage and interface with the ship, leave your name among the long list of those that have come before you and return in one piece.
Do not fail, this is only the beginning.

Zdravstvujtye, Command.
I have completed my mission as assigned. I decided to plot a route that took me in a circular route throughout Sirius, so as to cover as much ground as possible for the purposes of gathering intelligence. I also intended to acquire a Falchion type very heavy fighter on my way back. The following is a summary of the mission's events.
New Moscow - MET 0:00:00
I departed from Zhukovsky Station in a Saboteur type heavy fighter. Proceeding to the Omega-49 jump hole went smoothly.
Omega-49 - MET 0:02:28
Upon emerging from the jump hole I was immediately assaulted by bounty hunters, whom I destroyed. While I was engaging the bounty hunters, a Corsair patrol arrived, which I also destroyed. From there I proceeded to the Dublin jump hole.
Dublin - MET 0:07:21
Uneventful. Encountered small Corsair presence, but did not engage, allowing the local Mollys to deal with them.
Edinburgh - MET 0:09:56
Similarly uneventful. I encountered some single-fighter Gallic Royal Navy patrols, whom I evaded. I made partial use of the Arran Ice Cloud to elude further patrols.
Orkney - MET 0:12:58
I emerged from the jump hole into a firefight between the Gallic Royal Navy and some outcasts. I escaped in the chaos and proceeded to the Tau-23 jump hole.
Tau-23 - MET 0:16:32
When I entered Tau-23, I noted the nearby presence of a Gallic jump gate, and approached to get a closer look and scans for our intelligence database. Connecting the Languedoc jump gate and Indochine Outpost was a series of trade lane rings that were still under construction.
The outpost was unguarded by small craft, and so I seized the opportunity to strike their weapons platforms and their storage depots. I destroyed two weapons platforms and all of their storage tanks, which I believe will disrupt their operations in the area for the immediate future. My fightercraft sustained minor damage.
En route to the Tau-37 jump hole, I encountered the Battleship Guillestre, which I gave a wide berth. My craft was undamaged.
Tau-37 - MET 0:24:26
Uneventful.
Omicron Tau - MET 0:27:01
In the Omicron Tau system, I charted much of the system, first taking reconnaissance of Genoa Base and the nearby planets.
Upon approaching Venice Shipyard I noted the presence of a weapons platform, which I struck swiftly and destroyed. I also noted a capital ship stationed nearby--seemingly some sort of prototype light carrier. I took a scan before fleeing the area, as the Outcasts by then had noticed my presence. I fled to the nearby Alcara Shipping Depot, operated by Junkers. They were willing to allow me to dock for repairs and resupply. While in the area I took a survey scan of the nearby Planet Soledad. I docked with Alcara Shipping Depot with a mission elapsed time of 31 minutes and 40 seconds.
Upon repairing the superficial damage to my craft's hull, I launched to space again. I took a scan of the nearby moon, then proceeded to Omicron Alpha.
Omicron Alpha - MET 0:34:03
I kept a wide berth of Planet Malta and Valetta Shipyard as I approached the wreck of the Hispania, as I didn't want to draw attention to myself. The interior of the wreck was open to space, and large enough that I could pilot my craft inside it.
I chose a spot in the cryogenics section toward the aft of the derelict to leave my mark. I opened the hatch to my cockpit and went on EVA to cut my message into the metal of one of the cryopods. Primary directive was achieved at mission elapsed time 40 minutes and 54 seconds.
By the time I had completed my objective, a patrol had been sent following my ship's signature, and they were circling the Hispania. I started charging cruise engines inside the wreck and by the time I emerged they were almost fully charged. I emerged without collision with the derelict, leaving it unharmed, and from there I fled the Outcasts and proceeded to Omicron Beta, striking and destroying a weapons platform on my way.
Omicron Beta - MET 0:43:48
Another weapons platform was present on the other side of the Omicron Alpha jump hole, which I destroyed. As I proceeded through the nebula, my scanners picked up the wreck of a vessel called the Hosho Maru, which I initially intended to investigate, though I ultimately deemed it unnecessary to the mission.
En route to the Sigma-19 jump hole, I found what appeared to be an Outcast research facility, and I approached it, intending to strike at its weapons platforms. I met some resistance in the form of strike craft patrols, but I dispatched them easily. However, the weapons platforms were much more durable than initially anticipated, as even nuclear mines could not penetrate their armor. I decided that it was too risky to continue and withdrew from the engagement.
Sigma-19 - MET 0:50:20
I immediately came across an Outcast convoy, which I intended to intercept, but the freighter jumped before I could open fire. I decided to continue without engaging further craft.
Sigma-13 - MET 0:54:29
In Sigma-13 I encountered another Outcast convoy. This time, I managed to rout their freighters, and prevented them from escaping, destroying both. En route to the Frankfurt jump hole, I passed by a trade lane, which I struck and disrupted, intending to delay House shipping.
There was a pocket of explosive gas between the lane and the jump hole, and my autopilot was not sufficient to avoid detonating a cluster of it, but once I took manual control there were no further incidents.
Frankfurt - MET 0:59:46
I didn't strike House targets of opportunity in Rheinland, as the threat of House police reprisal was too high. I did some reconnaissance, however, and found security to be very high--a border control cruiser was stationed at one of the nearby stations. Still, I struck one of the trade lanes, before crossing the system to the New Berlin jump hole.
New Berlin - MET 1:07:40
In New Berlin I encountered a battlecruiser in the course of my journey to the Hamburg jump hole, further proof that security within Rheinland is very high at the moment. I encountered a radioactive zone before the jump hole and gave it a wide berth.
Hamburg - MET 1:13:01
Encountered some hostile Unioners.
Cologne - MET 1:15:20
In the Cologne system I passed very close by a Unioner base, and noted the presence of weapons platforms and supply depots, which I proceeded to strike against and destroy on my way to Weisenberg Research Station.
I took a scan of Planet Steinfurt and its moon Herne on my way to Weisenberg, before proceeding to dock at mission elapsed time 1 hour, 20 minutes and 43 seconds. Once I had acquired the Falchion type very heavy fighter, and activated the Saboteur's self-termination protocols, I proceeded to the Omega-54 jump hole.
Omega-54 - MET 1:23:43
Uneventful. Proceeded to Omega-2 without incident. Small Unioner and Bounty Hunter presence.
Omega-2 - MET 1:27:11
Emerged from the jump hole within the star's protoplanetary disk to find two bounty hunters engaged in a losing battle with our Red Hessian allies. The jump hole was concealed within a pocket of volatile gas, but it posed no obstacle.
Omega-47 - MET 1:30:08
Uneventful. Small Corsair presence. Came across a patrol of our comrades in the field.
Omega-49 - MET 1:34:31
Significant Corsair presence outside the jump hole, though I eluded them and quickly made my way back to New Moscow.
New Moscow - MET 1:38:18
I safely returned to the Star City at mission elapsed time 1 hour, 40 minutes and 54 seconds, and officially marked the mission complete at 1 hour, 41 minutes and 11 seconds. I returned with six Outcast prisoners and one Bounty Hunter, whom I immediately turned over to the Commissary.
Mission Summary
I completed the primary objective at a rate of 70.52% time efficiency, and in addition to accomplishing the primary directive I have also accomplished the following:
2 Bounty Hunter strike craft destroyed, 1 pilot captured
3 Corsair strike craft destroyed
4 Outcast strike craft destroyed, all pilots captured
2 Outcast freighters destroyed, all pilots captured
2 Gallic Royal Navy weapons platforms destroyed
5 Gallic Metal Service storage depots destroyed
3 Outcast weapons platforms destroyed
1 prototype Outcast carrier scanned
2 Unioner weapons platforms destroyed
2 Unioner storage depots destroyed
6 planetary bodies surveyed
I feel that I have accomplished a number of secondary objectives satisfactory to make this mission's time well spent. Doing so in addition to the primary objective was 41.04% more time efficient than conducting another mission to accomplish the same objectives.
