After incident that involve Core, we continue patrol mission in the Omega 49 systems and catch some corsair artifact smuggler.
In addition to two cruisers, our squad was replenished with a battlecruiser also belonging to the TSB.
After some silent attempts to escape, the captain of the corsair transport ship surrendered and a load of artifacts was destroyed.

Also, this ship was personally met by me after some time, and its captain, in fear of my presence, tried to protect himself by hiding in a zone without fire around a zoner base.

[09.10.2019 23:41:35] Barba_Azul: The wrath of the Zoners will come down on you
I’m not sure what the relationship between the zoners and the Corsairs is, but it looks extremely negative.
This ship was equipped with heavy weapons equal to a gunboat and had good armor, so I had no desire to enter the battle.
But I found a way to teach a little lesson to the enemy of the Coalition.

[10.10.2019 00:00:05] SCRA|Lev.Zabuzko.: When you enter omega 47 you free form me
Of course, this also took my time, but for him, it was a blow to business.

SUBJECT: Hispania Challenge Report
PURPOSE: Visit wreck of Hispania
ITINERARY: I departed Mykolaiv enroute to Omicron Alpha via Dublin, Aquitane and Brittany. Perhaps not the usually chosen route but chosen to avoid jump gates and trade lanes.
I had brief stopover at Freeport 10 to make some running repairs and seems they pay good price for Diamonds and sell Niobium at good price would be good for Semiconductors back at Zhukovsky. May be good trade route if not for needing to navigate 7K of minefields in Dublin.
Journey to Hispania was mostly uneventful, but came across Outcast Battlecruiser in Omicron Tau. It was in battle and had taken a lot of damage. My Partisan was not equipped to interfere so I continued on my mission.
Upon arriving at the Hispania I scouted the surrounding area and found a wreck containing assorted weapons and supplies, of which I would later need. Upon jumping back into Omicron Tau I was ambushed by two Outcast Gunboats. I was not equipped to take these two, and with hold full of recovered weapons I was not ready to let them take. I did not engage and took evasive action managing to escape after depleting all shield batteries and only a few remaining nanobots to get me home.
On return voyage I spotted Gallic Enclave, Gallic Brigands and a Gallic Battlecruiser that seemed to be stationed 10K from route between jumpholes in Aquitane. None of which seemed to show much interest.
Upon return to New Moscow I was met by Field Marshall Lukas Keller and given new directives to secure borders. A incursion into New Moscow had occurred but the perpetrators had taken a hasty retreat.
With the threat gone I finally returned to Mykolaiv for repairs, fitout and ID.
During the Omega 2 patrol, I discovered two stations located in the sector F5 and in the sector 5D.
These two stations are illegal, so I send info about them to TSB asking theirfleet destroy it.
Also, at the end of my patrol, Coalition station Iskra was under attack by Core fighter that was destroyed he was not lucky that 3 Coalition ships was in Omega-2 at the patrol mission.

I'll skip the fake pleasantries.
Consider this a formal resignation of my post as Field Marshal. Procedure dictates that I state the reason for my departure, the gross inefficiency of the Military I've been attempting to lead is sufficient enough reason to dissuade me from trying to preserve a sinking ship. Faced with constant pressure to uphold some semblance of professionalism while also putting up with constant behind-the-back criticism from officers of a distinctly lower caliber has rendered me unwilling to continue to hold this post.
I'll move myself to Darmstadt and spend what's left of my service period with the Militia stationed there. The further away I am from the bloated and inadequate entity that seeks to represent itself as an armed force, the better for my temperament.
I was returning from Omega-54 to New Moscow after a patrol, when SCEC drone in Omega-5 sent me information about confrontation two trade ships who belong to Volgograd Industries and Outcast.
When I arrived at the place, or rather, at the place of ore mining inside the anomaly, the ships already started the battle.

Privyet Comrades,
It is with utmost shock to announce that the Premier has officially abandoned ship. He defected to the Bretonians and is now trying to rally our Comrades against us! While time has passed since we entered the Kremlin, Comrade Guiterrez, the former Minister of Plenty, has agreed to lead our People once more and he will make a speech soon to all of us. This is not a drill, keep your eyes pealed, dark times await us, Comrades. We're through with the Monarchies! Long live the People and the Coalition!
Do Svidan'ya,
Political Commissar,

Zdravya zhelau,
During the ultimatum of Bretonian crown they start arranging their logistic routes into Omega-49. They start building Jump Gate in Omega-49 system. System of lead is currently unknown.
Furthermore The Core are controlling Grand vista orbital. Seems like Bretonia is not the one, with whom we will fight.
