Nova to report. After visiting Akibat’s capital for signing the contract for the essential supplies for Kadesh I ran into an ALG vessel in orbit of Akabat. There’s nothing special about it, just like in my previous encounter I was wondering about their capabilities at handling Bismarck powerplant drain technologies.
Answer was quite simple ‘yes’. *she laughs* Anyway, I made the request through the Order channels about their stance to them, as I remember she will be repaired and Carthage. And to my surprise, they are rather friendly, so we shouldn’t have problems inviting them onboard of Vega while moored with the Order’s shipyards.
With recent adjustments of gravitational phenomena we have settled down the Mining subdivision of the Trade Department and now Athens Station is ready to receive its first customers after reopen. Thanks to maneuver engines, the station is now allocated in between Freeport 11, mining area and Omicron Zeta jump hole. The refinery was built, commodity dealer is now set:
Iridium Ore: 42 SC per unit
Iridium: 84 SC per unit
Unfortunately, not all went well with the Delta Mining Corp. Athens in the design pattern was seen as a better station that would fulfil all required roles: trade centre, refinery and storage, thus Delta Mining Corp. remained idle.
The orbit went unstable, it became rather elliptical and got attracted by Palau Ice Cloud. Future of the station still uncertain, as Athens solely capable of retaining its original role and refine and storing capabilities. We still remain station supplied. The fate is not yet chosen, we might flood it or bring new purpose. We have time when department heads would pick up its future, but I suggest to check that you don't have anything valuable onboard until it'll be too late.
Yes, I'm speaking to each and every one of you. In these challenging times of division and change, we need to unite as never before. The modus operandi of the various groups is changing, becoming sharper and more ruthless. Alas, under such circumstances, we cannot help but resort to the same methods. Like each of you, I also went through the initiation ceremony and know the deep truths and our ideals, but, this time we will have to deviate from them, but, however, it is not the first time.
In the decades of our group's existence. We've been through the fire and brimstone of coexistence with the Corsairs. Freeport 9 was in constant danger, but we held out. Not without the help of our dear allies and partners, of course. However, as time has shown, nothing changes The Corsairs have again discredited their words of eternal friendship and cooperation with the Zoners.
At this moment, our main forces are on the dark side of the planet Pygar, waiting for the hour of retribution, the hour of reckoning. They have gone too far, enslaving the will of the inhabitants and visitors of Freeport 9, killing all who dared to defend the station. They will pay for this with their blood, for staining the walls of Freeport with fear and suffering. But, we will not be alone in this battle, we have companions who are willing to stand at our side to free the prisoners and revive Freeport 9.
Together with our old friends and the Core we were able to liberate Freeport 9, the main forces of the Corsairs in Omicron Theta have been defeated and the shards of their empire have gone to Omicron Gamma to heal their wounds.
The infiltration process has just begun, but all Zoners previously enslaved aboard the Freeport will no doubt be freed and given all the psychological and medical care they need. The fate of Corsairs although is not I’m worried of, those will be delegated to Core or Outcasts for delightful talk.
This is the day we deserve to celebrate a great victory. The day, when Zoners by all means and methods made an ironclad solution to protect their interests.
Attention have turned to Delta Mining Corp recently, when an rogue asteroid smashed into our mining complex. We don't know if this was a deliberate hostile action masked by the Palau Ice Cloud or just an outlying danger by drifting into the cloud itself; nonetheless our sensors couldn't pick up until too late. Immediate casualty were low with storage hangers hit, but we did lose some cargo during the incident which we will run an audit later.
Military engineers has been urgently deployed from Lividia to help assess and preform emergency repair as of this moment, but initial report does not look good. Foundation cracks are clearly visible around the whole complex and in some sections are slowly venting air. Focus is currently making sure the immediate stability of the entire station, but it is a race against time for our engineers, trying to get the right balance between sealing up the immediate cracks, keeping the station pressurised, yet at the same time making sure more cracks doesn't form this every same air pressure sustaining the facility.
More report to come as I get progress update form the engineers.

I have a situation update from Pygar.
After Rumours and Gossip started to circulate about about a new large discovery the NCC informed my administration that a sizable artifact had been located in an abandoned part of the cave networks named The Doldrums.
Worryingly the Doldrums was host to a Shanty town occupied and run by an as for now unnamed Cult. Their Leadership and the Artifact were housed within a structure called The Amber Citadel.
Squads of the Militia, led by Marshal Blaine managed to take control of the Doldrums and secure the site. My Teams are working on extracting the Artifact where it will be ready for transport.
I am on site and whatever this thing is, is unlike anything I have seen. Once we manage to get this thing out and transported back to Central we need to consider the next move. I personally would rather not have whatever this is remain on the planet now that its been discovered. Im no expert but id rather not wait to find out if this is a Nomad relic when they are knocking on Pygar's door.
Do your best to keep the situation under control. I'm more than sure your find will be of great interest to a large number of people and our main task is to extract the artifact from Pygar without attracting attention, for the safety of the settlers and administration.
I'm sending you several squads of combat troops immediately, use them at your discretion. I will also try to contact our friends at Order, they have tremendous experience with artifacts, they will find a use for it for the good of humanity and help us to stabilize the situation.
Today I am pleased to announce the appointment of a new administrator for Livadia Shipyard - Jeremiah Latif. Jack Anderson, formerly interim, now exclusively manages the Building and Construction Department.
I wish you success in your new career, Mr. Latif. I have heard many good things about your work and I hope your experience will have a positive impact on a critical part of our infrastructure.
Phoenix guards should be arriving soon on Pygar, you can already plan to reinforce security measures. If necessary, impose a curfew. The main thing is to maintain order.
Order has also sent its specialists and a squadron of ships to help extract the artifact from Pygar. They should be arriving shortly as well. All of them are under our command upon arrival at Pygar, dispose of them according to the developing situation.
But I would like to announce that Jeremiah Latif has been appointed as head of the Building and Construction Department, combining his position as administrator of Livadia Shipyard.
Erica Starr has also been appointed administrator of Athens Station, as she has shown herself to be an efficient manager, which is crucial for a station like Athens, with high traffic and processing capacity.
