About the current situation the Order is at - and a new threat
Hello,
maybe some of you know me. I am just a random guy, who joined the Order as he believed in greater goals to archieve in his life. Protecting mankind from the threat is not the worst thing to do, I believe.
So what have I seen thus far? Strange situations. Omicron Minor is under constant attack by the Bounty Hunters, Liberty Navy and Liberty Security Force. I understand the grudges some agents may have against them, but it is just weakening us all, if we keep searching for conflict with them.
It is almost like "Oh breakfast time, who is up for a small New York raid?" - to exaggerate it a bit.
As for me, my only hunting space is the infested space. Last time I went too far into infested space. My ship got damaged and I had to retreat to Freeport 10, as I wouldn't have made it back to Minor. Yesterday I tried to get back through Omicron Alpha and had a Outcast battleship in range of my scanners. I though't it would be the best to ask for permission to travel through, as I couldn't have managed it to travel through undetected anymore.
I have a log available of the conversation which followed with a 101st Outcast Guard: Data download available here
My personal summary:
- Outcasts call Nomads "Spirits"
- They demanded me to drop the Nomad bio materials I had in my cargo, they took them
- They told me not to harm any "Spirit"
- They even tried to kill me, to deter me from killing the "Spirits", I could barely avoid the destruction of my ship by fleeing to Freeport 10
In other words.. they are allied with the K'Hara and they don't even try to keep this secret! This is an outrage!
Was the Order High Command aware of this? I am only a secondary Order agent, but as far as I know, the Outcasts are only to be watched, no action shall be taken against them.
I hereby most humble request the Order High Command to take action as soon as possible.
The following steps sound reasonable to me:
- send an ambassador to negotiate a cease fire with the Liberty Navy and the Liberty Security Force. We don't need to have an enemy in our back
- send an ambassador to inform the Corsairs. I believe it is time to tighten our relationships once again. They must be informed about this. We need an ally to protect our supply routes.
- send an inquiry to the Zoners for emergency supplies, we need to get ourselfes ready for the final step:
- invade Omicron Alpha, the home of the real threat to mankind. The Outcast must not provide shelter for the K'Hara anymore
These are just recommendations of course. I don't dare to tell the Order High Command what is best for the Order.
Sincere regards,
the unnamed secondary agent of the Redemption
OHC has agents everywhere. I'm sure they are aware of the situation.
As for invading Outcast space. I have to agree with this idea. Far too many nomads have entered Sirius through Outcast territory. And there's not much we can do with the outcast fleet in the way.
The tensions between us and the corsairs are becoming more frequent. By declaring hostility towards Outcasts we can boost our relationships with them. Otherwise i fear the corsairs will do the same thing to us.
If you don't believe me , then i have proof too . Roughly every third corsair i meet is hostile.
[End of transmission]
Meh, I have plenty scapegoats actually
If something goes bat-**** insane:
Psymple did it, Davids did it, the Nope did it!
Dawn was out cold from the latest blow from k'hara side!
I win in any case. Don't use slurs like that, man.

Those are no news to us, we are aware that relatively high number of Outcast tolerates nomads and within them there are even extremists worshipping alien menace. Bassicaly they failed to cover it up if they ever tried it. You are overestimating capabilities of our fleet if you think we can handle whole nation of Malta even if we barely handle our own problems here in Minor.
"cease fire with the Liberty Navy and the Liberty Security Force." - Certainly you lack knowledge what caused this conflict in first case. We are defensive here and Liberty government won't negotiate with "terrorists".
"Corsairs. I believe it is time to tighten our relationships once again." - Our relations with them were severed for a reason. On other hand Corsair Elders are willingly to deal with troublemaking elements once occure in let's say Omicron Minor. Not to mention fall of Zoner Alliance when Corsairs attacked Zoners, our main suppliers.
Outcasts were always problem and most of our interactions ended up in fire exchange. I won't miss Outcasts or any other nomad lover if you eliminate them while caught protecting Nomads, it's their funeral. But Omicron Alpha is not an option for overt operations.

::::Subject: LSF::::
Good day Admirals,
I am not sure if it is known that the LSF is passing Minor, escorted, to get to Omicron Delta. Since Admiral Collister, some other pilots from the second fleet and me escorted the very first 'convoy' of the LSF ships to the freeport of Omicron Delta the 'travels' haven't reduced yet. During this flight we talked about, this may sound strange, truce.
However...the second time they were at the freeport of Omicron Delta we had a talk about the same topic again. And again I escorted them back to the Alaska hole. I am not sure what I should believe but all the agents of the LSF I have met yet have told something about less aggressions against the Order and a possible agreement to a truce.
Personally I think this sounds very suspicious because the agents were a bit younger and more sounded like newer agents. Because of my lack of understanding what they really want I bring this information now to you, looking forward to hear from you.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Source: OSD, Mora Station
Greetings, Omicroners. As you may or may not be aware, the Order is in the process of restructuring its ranks and will be doing so over the next several months. The current three-division setup - Combat, Intelligence, and Science, lead by Order High Command - is being split into two more manageable groups: Wedjat (Combat and Intelligence) and the Order Science Division (Logistics and Research).
The Order Science Division is undergoing several changes itself, with our military ties lessened and the creation of a new, less militaristic appearance. These changes are partly out of a desire to present a more amiable face to the nonmilitary corporations and organizations that we deal with, but was first driven by the Combat Division's need to requisition additional military ships to continue the Order's campaign against the Nomads and Bounty Hunter's Guild. To that end, the Science Division has been left with few vessels with which to continue our research and logistics operations, and we are seeking new sources for vessels specifically designed to handle research, transportation, and support roles.
To that end, we would like to establish a closer relationship with our Zoner allies, both to establish new trade routes, exchange research data, and procure vessels with which to continue our tasks. It is our understanding that the Omicroners are the closest zoner organization to our native space, and that our relations with you are already held in high regards.
Down to business... we would like to extend the freedom of access to Omicron 74 and Corinth Research Station which currently covers Order| vessels to include OSD| vessels as well. Doing so will allow our researchers and logistics personnel to both establish new routes of trade between our two organizations, including the exchange of any new technologies or advancements developed by our division.
Additionally, we would like access for our engineers to work with your own on Livadia shipyard in order to produce several new craft for use by the Science Division. All resources necessary for the production of these craft will, of course, be provided by us, we do not wish to put any additional burden on Zoner forces.
We are looking forward to hearing from you, and if there are any questions we may provide answers to, simply let us know. Mora station has recently been reclaimed from the Amadora field for use by our researchers, we will send contact information for the station along with this message.
-Transmission Ends-
We are pleased to see this development of structures within the Order, and we are convinced that our ties might even grow stronger than before, since Omicron 74 cannot support the Order with military forces as much as with our researchers and scientists from Corinth. Although the Omicroners always enjoyed their access rights to Omicron 100, we always felt that Corinth and Evora, and now Mora, should improve the mutual support and thus the generated innovations. Our joint progress has always suffered from the extremely dangerous neighbourhood of Omicron Minor and Omicron 100, which was making journeys for our scientific staff a risky endeavor. Therefor we are glad to see the Primary Fleet and the Research Department requesting this special entrance permission. All vessels tagged with Order| or OSD| are free to approach Sparta and Corinth from now on. Please be aware of the fact that Omicron 74 is meant to be a safe haven in the Omicrons for everybody, which might force you to accept the presence of groups you are not friendly with at all, but rest assured that they are not aware of the passageway.
In addition we would like to suggest joint research patrols in the Omicrons. The Leaonardo which was partly built on Evora is idling in Omicron 74 sinceCorinth had started to evaluate the collected data. Depending on the results from Corinth we would dispatch the Leonardo even to the alien worlds, so the ties of this proposed cooperation would certainly become mandatory.
We are awaiting your reply.
Sincerely,
The Omicroners

This is Commander Thomas. In the past two days we have had intruders, one of them a Corvo who was escorted to Delta.
The second was a Thresher, the Prodigal_Sun who was in Omicron Major. I was astounded he got past our defensive lines. I had taken command of the Hieroglyph and went to Major upon hearing of this. After a lenghty discussion, of him wanting Nomads to sell for money to gamble and get laid, I finally ordered my gunners to open fire. He had poor armor and no mortar or battle razors, just turrets and a pair of Solarises. Suffice to say, the Hieroglyph tore it apart.
Hey! We were doing our usual patrol of Liberty when we detected someone on System comms with alot of gunfire in the background. We immeidetly zeroed in and headed towards the location, finding a Bactrian. Corporal Solomon Keyes and the Destiny's Marines immedietly baorded, finding a Ferrari interior with a Volkswagon Beetle exterior. After searching, and having to deal with lazor grids and lockdowns, they breached the bridge to find the captain and crew infected by nomads. It was then that the Captain started a little "game" with Solomon, who blew the bridge glass and exited to the Embrace, where we then opened fire and destroyed the Bactrian. The captain escaped though, so any assistance would be nice. We're at Beumont currently.
We had no casualties, just me getting an adrenaline rush from it all...heh...
Oh! And there's this Marine guy...Jack Johnson...I think....He's willing to help us out and all...so yeah...he said he knew my brother, Jeremy....By the way, has anyone seen Jeremy recently? I can't find him...

Greetings pilots,
Ah, it's so good to be back in my ship after getting a break in my planetside duties. Those duties aren't done yet, but nevertheless, I did manage to find some time today to fly back into space.
Anyway, after I took off, I immediately noticed a Guild Core Hunter named BHG|Core-Chalybs|P' attacking a few of our ships. I moved closer to investigate, but I didn't engage since I didn't want to make things too chaotic. When a Bullhead Battlecruiser, whose name escapes me, arrived, I switched to my bomber and began attacking it along with the fighters and gunboats that showed up. As a result, the Battlecruiser went down quickly.
After a third ship named BHG|Core-Nullus-2|P showed up, I switched to my fighter to repel the Hunters. After a while, the Nullus retreated, but then came back with BHG|Core-Scorpio|GK. However, the Scorpio was taken down easily thanks to a well-placed Supernova shot from one of the freelancers authorized to be in Omicron Minor. The Chalybs and the Nullus continued to hold their ground though.
After this, a bomber and a Destroyer, named [BH]-Pepe and sasa_ob2 respectively, showed up. We quickly disposed of them however thanks to our efficient combat leadership and organization. Around this time, a freelancer named Untreue. arrived in a Sabre as well and opened fire on us. However, we continued our assault, forcing the Untreue., Chalybs, and Nullus to flee.
Afterwards, we returned back to the orbit of Planet Toledo. The battle was a complete victory on our side with three kills and no losses.
I've been reading some of the older reports and one of them mentioned a possible truce with Liberty? Is this true? I sincerely hope so. The last thing we need is the LSF and the LN shooting us while we're dealing with the BHGC and the Nomads.
Sincerely,
Captain Eric McCormick

today on my daily rounds through Omicron Minor Ensign Philipsen, some other agents and me located an unidentified vessel called the "termometr". As a Corsair pilot he was obviously not understanding in what he ran into. We tried to explain that he have to leave through the Delta jumphole.
Well...it didn't seem like he really understood or he just didn't want to listen but then he jumped through the Omicron 100 jumphole to Omicron 100. We immediately tried to intercept him...finally few clicks from the Apophis away I managed to hit his ship with my Supernova Antimatter cannon. I barely think he survived...unfortunately. We didn't find an eject pod or something like this yet.
But if he is still alive I would suggest to add him on the black list...

I was doing my rounds of Delta onboard the Eternal Flames when an OSI security wing accosted me. It seems the IMG wish to speak with some of our higher ups. What about, they didn't know.
Otherwise, quieter than a sleeping mouse. Thankfully.
NOTE: Due to confidentiality, no guncams were taken.
That's all from here. Hopefully Seth and Ayaki will have some better luck down in the Omegas.
