⧫ ENCRYPTION: Order-EC[L] Patrol Report
Hail Overwatch.
During a patrol in the Omega-3 system in preparation for Operation Armageddon I was hailed by a Red Hessian Battleship; the RHB-Dresden. It's captain, Hans von Klaus, requested some assistance with scanning incoming transport ships due to damage to his ships sensor array. As we want to delay any potential progress to Alands as well as the Leviathan I moved to the Freeport as requested and provided assistance.
It was a relatively simple task; three transports came by during our time there and all three were clear from any military materials the Dresden that Hans would have stopped and there were no materials of Nomad origin that would call for Order intervention as well. During the security scans I shared a pleasant and informative conversation with the captain regarding Bretonia, Rheinlands recent civilian turmoil and the related Sigma wars.
It seems our Hessian friend had heard a rumor that the BDM and Kentempei had come to a secret agreement to end the war and let Kusari surrender while maintaining its image.
While it seems unlikely, it might be worth contacting our Blood Dragon allies to see if they know more about any such a deal made by the Kentempei if only to keep ourselves informed.
I have included the audio logs to this transmission for your review.
Audio logs:
[09.04.2019 10:35:54] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Kapitan Hans von Klaus speaking, may Ich ask for you to komm? At der Freeport.
[09.04.2019 10:36:14] Order|Solandros: Xan: This is Agent Solandros. I'm on my way.
[09.04.2019 10:36:14] RHB-Dresden: Hans: We habe a Gateway transport, suspected of supplying Aland with military supplies.
[09.04.2019 10:36:21] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Danke.
[09.04.2019 10:36:31] RHB-Dresden: Hans: It ist currently moored with der Freeport.
[09.04.2019 10:36:41] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Our schlachtschiff is stationed outside.
[09.04.2019 10:37:55] Cloaking device off
[09.04.2019 10:38:17] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Guten Tag, agent.
[09.04.2019 10:38:42] Order|Solandros: Xan: Greetings. Bretonians are already moving military supplies to Aland eh?
[09.04.2019 10:39:03] Order|Solandros: Xan: Shouldn't be surprised I guess. They have little respect for what doesn't belong to them.
[09.04.2019 10:39:41] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ein moment.
[09.04.2019 10:40:02] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ja.
[09.04.2019 10:40:14] RHB-Dresden: Hans: They are just making more and more enemies within this dangerous region.
[09.04.2019 10:40:44] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Making dominant forces your enemies, such as us, die Rote Hessen, isn't exactly advised.
[09.04.2019 10:40:55] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Or, Corsairs.
[09.04.2019 10:41:05] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Even IMG. They just broke into their home.
[09.04.2019 10:41:20] Order|Solandros: Xan: To name but a few, really.
[09.04.2019 10:41:33] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Kinda.
[09.04.2019 10:41:46] Order|Solandros: Xan: Meanwhile Gallia is knocking on the front door.
[09.04.2019 10:41:58] Order|Solandros: Xan: Well, more like kicked it down and barged into their living room.
[09.04.2019 10:41:58] RHB-Dresden: Hans: That's exactly what Ich am trying to say.
[09.04.2019 10:42:20] Order|Solandros: Xan: Yet they rather pick additional fights with other groups in the area.
[09.04.2019 10:42:37] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Indeed.
[09.04.2019 10:42:45] RHB-Dresden: Hans: It ist, just stupid.
[09.04.2019 10:42:57] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Creating additional problems when you already habe enough.
[09.04.2019 10:42:59] Order|Solandros: Xan: I'm aware Hessians and Corsairs hate eachother with a burning passion, but I think even you two could agree Bretonia's
[09.04.2019 10:43:14] Order|Solandros: strategy is far beyond incompetent
[09.04.2019 10:43:18] RHB-Dresden: Hans: The transport!
[09.04.2019 10:43:33] Order|Solandros: Xan: Seems to be carrying Gold according to my scans.
[09.04.2019 10:43:36] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Cut your engines now. And take distance from die Freeport.
[09.04.2019 10:44:16] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Our scanners are a bit affected from recent battles, didn't get a chance for maintenance.
[09.04.2019 10:44:24] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Could du please scan it closely?
[09.04.2019 10:44:30] Maersk_Alabama: hello sirs
[09.04.2019 10:44:52] Order|Solandros: Xan: Very well. Hail Gateway vessel. I'm going to run a scan on your ship. Please stay stationary for the moment
[09.04.2019 10:45:28] 2019-04-09 10:45:28 SMT Traffic control alert: Maersk_Alabama has requested to dock
[09.04.2019 10:45:36] RHB-Dresden: Hans: It moored back.
[09.04.2019 10:45:44] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Du are authorized to take it down.
[09.04.2019 10:45:54] Order|Solandros: Xan: It did, but I got a good scan. Only gold, no harm.
[09.04.2019 10:46:04] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Du sure?
[09.04.2019 10:46:35] Order|Solandros: Xan: Aye, fortunately. Doubt gold will be of much use to the Bretonian military.
[09.04.2019 10:46:59] Order|Solandros: Xan: Emptied your hold I see.
[09.04.2019 10:47:02] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Unless they want to make gold ships, literally.
[09.04.2019 10:47:13] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Hm?
[09.04.2019 10:47:30] Order|Solandros: Xan: In either case, a hold full of gold, or completely empty is no problem.
[09.04.2019 10:47:45] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Du are free to go.
[09.04.2019 10:48:07] Order|Solandros: Xan: Please be advised Gateway vessel. We're fairly protective of Aland. As long as you don't deliver military supplies however
[09.04.2019 10:48:10] Order|Solandros: you should be fine.
[09.04.2019 10:48:14] RHB-Dresden: Hans: As long as du don't supply der Bretonian Army or Aland's defense, du are gut to go.
[09.04.2019 10:48:28] Order|Solandros: Xan: We thank you for your cooperation.
[09.04.2019 10:49:25] Order|Solandros: Xan: The Omega-3 system is a busy trade hub. Suppose that's another reason Bretonia wanted to annex it.
[09.04.2019 10:49:46] RHB-Dresden: Hans: For easier Militar supplying?
[09.04.2019 10:50:17] Order|Solandros: Xan: That, and additional income I imagine.
[09.04.2019 10:50:24] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ich guess, well.
[09.04.2019 10:50:36] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Der economy ist going down for them, slowly.
[09.04.2019 10:51:22] Order|Solandros: Xan: True enough, and until they have Aland fixed up and running again, every destroyed ship hurts all that more.
[09.04.2019 10:51:38] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Destroy as many as du can, for short.
[09.04.2019 10:51:54] RHB-Dresden: Hans: To destroy something ist easy, to build it back or something else is hard.
[09.04.2019 10:52:13] RHB-Dresden: Hans: They will just lose more und more money und time.
[09.04.2019 10:52:17] Order|Solandros: Xan: Comes down to that pretty much.
[09.04.2019 10:52:51] Order|Solandros: Xan: Honestly Battlegroup Norfolk in Cambridge is the only thing keeping Bretonia alive right now.
[09.04.2019 10:53:02] Order|Solandros: Xan: Without it their damaged ships couldn't travel to Aland without being ambushed
[09.04.2019 10:53:24] Order|Solandros: Xan: Cambridge has next to no mobile defenses besides it.
[09.04.2019 10:53:45] RHB-Dresden: Hans: If Kassel ist repaired completely and soon enough, maybe it can ambush der Norfolk.
[09.04.2019 10:54:07] Order|Solandros: Xan: I'd advise against that, at least not without backup.
[09.04.2019 10:54:27] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Well, not der Kassel alone. Additional wings or capital schiffe.
[09.04.2019 10:54:40] Order|Solandros: Xan: From what I gather battlegroup Norfolk is particularly large.
[09.04.2019 10:55:35] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Die Rote Hessen Armee can gather sufficient forces if necessary.
[09.04.2019 10:55:41] RHB-Dresden: Hans: IF, necessary.
[09.04.2019 10:56:24] Order|Solandros: Xan: I'm afraid Order support would be limited to a few fighters or capships, no full battlegroup.
[09.04.2019 10:56:39] Order|Solandros: Xan: The vast majority of our forces are stationed in the Omicrons, fighting the Nomads.
[09.04.2019 10:57:19] RHB-Dresden: Hans: We are confronted with Nomads too. Only that in der deep Omegas.
[09.04.2019 10:57:23] RHB-Dresden: Hans: And not as much as du.
[09.04.2019 10:57:53] Order|Solandros: Xan: Pesky critters. Trying to sneak everywhere.
[09.04.2019 10:58:01] Order|Solandros: Xan: Have you heard about the turmoil in Rheinland?
[09.04.2019 10:59:17] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ja, Ich think. Ein moment Ich bin called.
[09.04.2019 10:59:35] Order|Solandros: Xan: Understood.
[09.04.2019 10:59:55] RHB-Dresden: brb in 5 mins//
[09.04.2019 11:00:02] Order|Solandros: //kk
[09.04.2019 11:03:40] Order|Solandros: Xan: Welcome back Gateway vessel
[09.04.2019 11:03:53] Order|Solandros: Xan: You might want to hand over that pilot to my Hessian friend here
[09.04.2019 11:04:03] Order|Solandros: Xan: He might take offense if you don't drop him off.
[09.04.2019 11:04:05] 2019-04-09 11:04:05 SMT Traffic control alert: Maersk_Alabama has requested to dock
[09.04.2019 11:04:57] RHB-Dresden: Hans: We're back.
[09.04.2019 11:05:02] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Anything happened?
[09.04.2019 11:05:05] Order|Solandros: Xan: Ah there you go. Dropping him off on the Freeport should be fine.
[09.04.2019 11:05:13] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Dropping who?
[09.04.2019 11:05:17] Order|Solandros: Xan: Our Gateway friend returned and dropped a Hessian Pilot on the Freeport.
[09.04.2019 11:05:17] Maersk_Alabama: gimme a chance to make money
[09.04.2019 11:05:32] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Du better habe not harmed him.
[09.04.2019 11:05:39] RHB-Dresden: Hans: We'll pick him up soon.
[09.04.2019 11:05:41] Order|Solandros: Xan: He could've dropped him off at Aland if he wanted, I'd say he showed good faith.
[09.04.2019 11:05:51] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ich agree.
[09.04.2019 11:06:01] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Someone with ein bit of dignity.
[09.04.2019 11:06:07] Maersk_Alabama: let me go make 20 mio, i give you a piece
[09.04.2019 11:06:08] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Glad to see someone like that.
[09.04.2019 11:06:16] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ich would appreciate that.
[09.04.2019 11:06:31] RHB-Dresden: Hans: It can go to die Hessen's war effort.
[09.04.2019 11:06:34] Order|Solandros: Xan: You're free to go of course Gateway, diamonds are not military cargo.
[09.04.2019 11:06:46] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Diamonds?
[09.04.2019 11:06:54] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Well, not interested. *A laugh is audible*
[09.04.2019 11:07:29] Order|Solandros: Xan: Safe flight Gateway, careful around Bretonians.
[09.04.2019 11:10:54] Order|Solandros: Xan: But yea, I'm curious how Rheinlands turmoil is going to resolve
[09.04.2019 11:11:02] RHB-Dresden: Hans: What do du mean?
[09.04.2019 11:11:12] RHB-Dresden: Hans: What turmoil? Or which ein of them.
[09.04.2019 11:11:33] Order|Solandros: Xan: The net is full of it, apparently the chief of their military intelligence pulled back its troops from the Kusari war
[09.04.2019 11:11:42] Order|Solandros: Xan: The populace is very divided by this action.
[09.04.2019 11:11:51] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Quite.
[09.04.2019 11:11:59] RHB-Dresden: Hans: This move shocked us too.
[09.04.2019 11:12:28] RHB-Dresden: Hans: As far as Ich habe heard, there are suspicions that der Buro and Kempeitai have negotiated.
[09.04.2019 11:12:37] Order|Solandros: Xan: I can imagine, with the Rheinland troops preoccupied the Hessians have more space to move.
[09.04.2019 11:12:52] RHB-Dresden: Hans: They wouldn't allow that.
[09.04.2019 11:13:05] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Hail Gateway vessel.
[09.04.2019 11:13:10] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Cut your engines please.
[09.04.2019 11:13:11] Order|Solandros: Xan: Ah? Collusion with the Kempeitai. Can't say I've heard of that one yet.
[09.04.2019 11:13:26] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Xan, mind scanning it?
[09.04.2019 11:13:33] Order|Solandros: Xan: That won't be a problem.
[09.04.2019 11:13:55] Order|Solandros: Xan: Scans indicate crew members and elixers. No problems from what I can tell.
[09.04.2019 11:14:09] RHB-Dresden: Hans: What ist your destination?
[09.04.2019 11:14:12] Pantechnicon: Victoria: Are we brazenly assaulting trade vessels within Zoner No-fire zones now, Hessian?
[09.04.2019 11:14:35] RHB-Dresden: Hans: First answer our question, well more mine. Then we'll explain.
[09.04.2019 11:15:20] Pantechnicon: Victoria: Further into Rheinland. Someone wants to peddle some quack's supposed miracle cure, and I'm not interested in the-
[09.04.2019 11:15:24] Pantechnicon: specifics.
[09.04.2019 11:15:39] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Fair 'nuff then.
[09.04.2019 11:15:51] Order|Solandros: Xan: As long as you're not carrying military equipment to Aland there are no problems whatsoever.
[09.04.2019 11:15:57] RHB-Dresden: Hans: What he said.
[09.04.2019 11:16:35] Pantechnicon: Victoria: Never been much for weapons. Are we done, gentlemen?
[09.04.2019 11:17:05] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ja, du are free to go.
[09.04.2019 11:17:08] Order|Solandros: Xan: As far as I'm concerned. Safe flights Gateway.
[09.04.2019 11:17:22] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Stay frosty out there.
[09.04.2019 11:17:30] Pantechnicon: Victoria: Splendid. And to you as well, gentlemen.
[09.04.2019 11:18:12] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Speaking of that rumour.
[09.04.2019 11:18:20] RHB-Dresden: Hans: It ist just ein rumour after all.
[09.04.2019 11:18:36] Order|Solandros: Xan: As for the Kentempei. I suppose I could ask HQ to contact the Blood Dragons. If anyone would know more it's likely them.
[09.04.2019 11:18:57] Order|Solandros: Xan: At the very least it would be wise to examine such rumors for validity
[09.04.2019 11:19:13] RHB-Dresden: Hans: There's a bit of doubt in this rumour.
[09.04.2019 11:19:19] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Why would they do it?
[09.04.2019 11:19:35] Order|Solandros: Xan: A valid question. Last I heard Kusari was losing.
[09.04.2019 11:19:41] Order|Solandros: Xan: Perhaps they wanted Rheinland off their back?
[09.04.2019 11:19:49] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ja, maybe surrendered in secret.
[09.04.2019 11:19:56] RHB-Dresden: Hans: All things considered.
[09.04.2019 11:21:29] RHB-Dresden: Hans: What was your name again?
[09.04.2019 11:21:38] Order|Solandros: Xan: The real question though, is what would Rheinland get from it.
[09.04.2019 11:21:58] Order|Solandros: Xan: I'm generally known as Agent Solandros. You can call me Xan if you like.
[09.04.2019 11:23:17] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Right.
[09.04.2019 11:23:50] RHB-Dresden: Hans: It ist possible that Kusari gives up all Sigmas.
[09.04.2019 11:23:54] RHB-Dresden: Hans: And surrenders.
[09.04.2019 11:24:16] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Then Rheinland would habe full control over der Sigma region, including die outer one.
[09.04.2019 11:24:50] Order|Solandros: Xan: Hm, doubtful. Such a consession would spell out its surrender. Assuming the rumor is true they want to be subtle about it.
// the server crashed at this point. Conversation continued when we both moved back.
[09.04.2019 11:31:38] Order|Solandros: Xan: Gotta love unexpected ion storms.
[09.04.2019 11:31:57] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Der Dresden held out, was moved a bit tho.
[09.04.2019 11:32:03] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Du were moved way more.
[09.04.2019 11:32:11] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Und ja, can't hate them.
[09.04.2019 11:33:22] Order|Solandros: Xan: Either way. I doubt Kusari will give up the Sigma's. Not to mention the GMG is there as well. They'd want to surrender
[09.04.2019 11:33:26] Order|Solandros: without looking like they did
[09.04.2019 11:33:26] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Where were we? Right.
[09.04.2019 11:33:42] RHB-Dresden: Hans: GMG won't surrender Thirteen.
[09.04.2019 11:33:51] Order|Solandros: Xan: It'd have to be something relatively small, like a single system...or something extremely valuable.
[09.04.2019 11:33:57] Order|Solandros: Xan: Here's hoping it's not an artifact.
[09.04.2019 11:34:45] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ich habe came across some weird artifact back in der deep Omegas.
[09.04.2019 11:35:11] Order|Solandros: Xan: Oh?
[09.04.2019 11:35:14] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Among die black mist of der Sterngrabe Ich found ein Hessen wreck carrying an artifact, near die system's neutron star
[09.04.2019 11:35:48] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ich had let it there.
[09.04.2019 11:35:54] RHB-Dresden: Hans: When Ich came again it was gone.
[09.04.2019 11:36:12] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Though der chances of being die GMG are small.
[09.04.2019 11:36:20] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ein moment.
[09.04.2019 11:36:38] RHB-Dresden: *Some movement can be heard. The comms were left open. There was talking for a moment, the only audible words being:
[09.04.2019 11:36:39] Order|Solandros: Xan: Well, there are two other Order Agents operating in the Omega on a temporary basis. Hopefully one of them intercepted it.
[09.04.2019 11:36:43] RHB-Dresden: Wolfsburg*
[09.04.2019 11:36:53] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Right.
[09.04.2019 11:37:03] RHB-Dresden: Hans: We habe bin called for maintenance.
[09.04.2019 11:37:18] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Ich suppose du can handle it without a schlachtschiff too right?
[09.04.2019 11:37:37] Order|Solandros: Xan: Understood. Yea, there should be no problem. I'll continue with my patrol as well.
[09.04.2019 11:37:50] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Gut.
[09.04.2019 11:38:02] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Charging cruise engines...
[09.04.2019 11:38:08] Preparing to cloak...
[09.04.2019 11:38:18] Cloaking device on
[09.04.2019 11:38:20] Order|Solandros: Xan: Let us know if you need assistance. The Order is never far away.
[09.04.2019 11:38:24] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Understood.
[09.04.2019 11:38:29] RHB-Dresden: Hans: Farewell herr Xan.

"What do you do, when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? You must needs become the greater evil." Battlegroup Commander Natsumi Hideyoshi, The Order Overwatch
At 1835 Sirian Standard Time, Corinth Research Station sent out a distress signal indicating it was under attack by Nomads. As I was in Mu at the time, I flew out to meet the Svizra and took command. The battleships Horus, Isis, the venerable Seeker, as well as multiple cruisers of the Reserve Fleets - such as the Vizier, which arrived late and helped guide us home - were part of the provisional battlegroup. Alongside us were multiple Zoners of the Velvet Wing, as well as the Legacy of Orillion Cell's battleships Apollo, Savior, and cruisers Ubats....Ubaotae? Something with a U, and the Sphinx. We headed for Omicron Kappa with all due haste, and we found the Core already heading for the station. I immediately ordered all allied vessels to not engage any humans and focus on the Nomads.
The first few waves were nothing major, but then the Nomads began to retreat. Following them, we discovered and uncharted system and were almost at once set upon by an Ishtar class Warform. The Svizra took a blow to the side, but damage was noncritical. We managed to pull out of range and leave it to the Core as we linked up with the rest of the battlegroup, which was bolstered by a handful of snubcraft and other vessels of varying sizes. We discovered something in the atmosphere of a gas giant and risked entering the planet's gravity well.
Upon arrival, we discovered a Nomad Shrine in a decaying orbit. The Seeker immediately enacted a combat breach of the station and began searching for anything they could find while the fleet - now numbering in the dozen or more, as both Maltese Exiles, Maltese, and Corsairs came together with the Core and began to ward off the Nomads.
It was clearly a trap, and we sprung it. Holding the line, the Svizra provided artillery support after a few blows from friendlies, and used the Shrine as cover to bombard the enemy warforms - both Marduk and ishtar classes - with our main artillery mortar. Eventually the Nomads stopped coming, and the Shrine's main hangar bays were breached. We sent in what we could and got what we could, but the Core could not for one day decide to cease being dishonorable curs. I would not even insult the wild dogs by comparing them to the Core. They set upon everyone like ravenous locust, and began to shoot down anything they could. While the Core devolved to their true nature, the Legacy....of Orillion chose this dangerous time, in a system with a rapidly closing jump hole...to worry about a Canaan vessel holding Nomad remains. And thus decided to engage it, right after it assisted us in securing space.
What is it the Libertonians say? "I cannot even?" I believe? There is a time, and a place, and this was neither. With the Shrine decaying orbit and breaking apart, and sensor readings showing the Jump Hole to Kappa was destabilizing within half an hour, we needed to evacuate everyone we could. With Doctor Schultz's fighter being hit by the Core, we had to extract her escape pod on it's escape vector, where the OCV Vizier had arrived to assist. The Svizra held as a rear guard, but the numerous Core contacts forced me to commence an immediate retreat. We barely managed to enter Kappa and engage cruise engines before enemy forces arrived. The Ubatae was disrupted and set upon, and I can only pray Amaterasu guided their escape pods to safety.
Svizra has returned to Omicron Epsilon with multiple Nomad Warform remains and have moved them to the Seshat for storage and quarantine. The crew is going into normal medical checkups, and I will return to the Oathkeeper. In all, many Nomads were slain, including a few of their elder warforms. Even with losses, this was a victory. OSD will be analyzing everything that the Seeker managed to find during it's combat breach and have a report ready next week.
That is all.

While commencing a standard watch over Freeport Eleven as Executive Officer of the Osiris, by leave of "Shieldbreaker", who was doing paperwork on Freeport Eleven, we were accosted by Battlegroup Auxesia. As I was told they were hostile, I remained close to the Freeport and did my best to remain non-aggressive towards them, in respect towards Mel...Administrator Jones and her neutrality. They moved in closer, but I remained passive for the time. I expected them to open fire, but apparently we were close enough that their jump drive could pull us along. Due to a previous Ion Storm, were unfortunately had not gotten all our sensors recalibrated.
Charts showed we were in Inverness, and apparently they scouted regularly - they knew that yo...our battleship, the Atum, had vacated the system. Wonderful.
And so they listed three demands.
First: Unrestricted Access to the Omicron Minor Graveyard. Based on their multitude of snide comments, asking around I deduce they want to try and salvage the unsalvagable Isis, because they only know how to steal. Based on what I know, the Isis was completely destroyed during the battle, gutted and left a twisted, unusable hulk.
Second: This has been redacted by Wedjat.
Third: For us to never again enter Liberty, Bretonia, or the Independent Worlds. They again made plenty of threats to jump us again.
They want peace, yet what I am told they started it...over an autonomous unit defending allies. I do not know what "Leviathan" was playing at, but taking a girl out for a jaunt without offering dinner was quite rude. If Gallia does win the war, I do hope they kill them first.
How...insufferable.
Guncams, scans, and logs of important, pertinent bits of conversation have been added. Now I must requisition a few extra uniforms. If these self-righteous mooncalves would forget how to breathe already, I would be much obliged.

Hail Overwatch.
I was in Omicron Delta, had some Core ships on scaners and I was patroling around looking for them, when good friend of mine Captain Xander contacted me and briefed me about Operation Armageddon. He told me to get in Omega 3 ASAP.
I went there through Alaska where I had some problems with LSF ships and Nomads. I met two patroles of LSF wing both made of three fighers "Guardians". Commander of patrol was Sally Jackson. I was forced to neutralize them. When I was approaching to Juneau Shipyard I activated my cloaking device but soon after that it shut down. It had some issues, and I could not use it anymore. I was heading to Liberty Rogues base Buffalo Base to try to fix that. Space was clear while I was heading there. Engineeres on Buffalo could not help me with my cloaking device. It's dead absolutely. The rest of the way I was forced to avoid all lawful bases and trade lanes. Near Navy base "West Point Academy" a couple of Hacker capitals were attacking Libery Dreadnought "LNS-Texas". I helped them to destory the dreadnought by shooting few Nova Torpedos. When that was over I went through California, Magellan, Manchester and other systems. It took me a too much time and I really got tired when I managed to get in Omega 3. Captain Xander told me that he will wait me on Freeport 1. When I got there, he wasn't on the station. I went to bar to get some drinks and the barman told me that Cpt. Xander left a message for me. The message was that to head to Graham Ice Cloud and that I'll get further instructions. When I got there, there was just ice rocks and some Gaian patroles. I was waiting there for about 20 minutes when suddenly Cpt. Xander de-cloaked near me. We head to Gaian base "Cruiser Greifswald". When we both landed he briefed me with all details about the ongoing operation Armageddon. After that we went patroling and make stuff ready. While we patroling in sector 5F, we have scaned some Core ships but unsuccessfully cought.
Things are still getting ready for ongoing operation, and Im waiting for next instructions.

An alert was raised by Freeport Eleven, and the Svizra responded immediately. Heading out, the Svizra met up with Battlecruiser Seb and immediately assisted Velvet security forces in repelling Nomad Forces considering of the well known RNC-Albtraum, a Commune cruiser, the Nighthawk, and a Sarissa that assisted them. We immediately moved to assist them, opening fire on both Albtraum and Nighthawk as we attempted to keep the enemy Sarissa, MNS-Razor, at a distance. Thanks to the help of Velvet and the Seb, both were taken down...with annoying assistance from both Auxesian forces and Core, of which the Core managed to get a lucky shot in on the Nighthawk while Velvet kept the Albtraum off of our flank while we focused on the Nighthawk.
The last thing we saw of Razor was the Auxesian's Arbiter-Class battleship Achlys firing. Sensors detected an explosion below the galactic plane - we can assume the Razor was taken out by Auxesian and Core forces. I told the Seb to retreat to avoid a conflict with superior numbers. Minimal damage to both the Osiris

Hail Overwatch.
Today, I was in patrold duty in Omega 3, near Aland Shipyard, where I met a Armed Forces Battlecruiser called "BIS-Saber". I staneded back a little further from Aland because base and Core destroyers, that are guarding Aland, were shooting at me. Battlecruiser was right in front of Aland. After a little talk with that scum, he entered into the Trade Lane and managed to escape in direction of Freeport 1. While I docked into the Trade Lane and tried to follow him, a Bounty Hunter vessel has showed up behind my back. He had a Cloaking Device so I couldn't see him before. When we entered in Freeport No Fire Zone, I was stopped by two enemy ships, Armed Forces Bomber "B-3000 Challenger"
and Bounty Hunter Very Heavy Fighter "Manta" that had some coded weapons called "MEDUSA". When they stopped me, BIS-Saber has managed to escape in direction of Cambridge Jump Gate. These two guys took me out of NFZ to try to kill me and slow down our Operation, but they were wrong. First, I managed to destroy a Bounty Hunter which is significant damaged my ship with that unknown guns, but the whole time on my back was a Bretonian with Bomber Scatterguns, wtih no damage on his ship. There was no other way to kill him than shooting NOVA Torpedos into him and destorying and my and his ship at the same time to avoid risking Order technology falling in the hands of the Armed Forces and their allies. But on time I lunched myself in space in Escape Pod what he did same. After that somebody from Freeport camed and destroyed his Escape Pod, and took my Escape Pod into his cargo hold. I didnt know the affiliation of ship, but I know the was flying Borded Worlds light fighter "Scimitar". The guy wore a mask so I didn't saw his face. He just left me in Medical Center and he dissappeared. Nothing of classifed data has falled in unwanted hands. Im all Ok, I got myself a new ship and ready for next orders !

I had some buissniess back in Delta, so I left Omega 3 and went back in Omicron Delta, with cpt. Xander permission. On my way back I just met a small patrol of Armed Forces in New London of to light fighters and one bomber. In Alaska system, near Juneau Shipyard there was a Libery cruiser and two gunboats. Luckly I activated my Cloaking device and they were unable to shot my down. When I reached Freeport 11, I switched my ships from my bomber into Nephthys. Soon after that, on my way back to Freeport 11, an Order vessel from Secondary Fleet contacted me in order to help him in New York. He was chased by Navy 5th fleet. I had no idea how he get there, but I went down help him. I found him in the Badlands, north-west from Battleship Missouri, He asked me, where we can take the hide, and I remembered a Junker Rochester base, so we went down there to land and fix our ships and other things, but on our way there, the Trade Lane was distrupted because of fight between Navy versus Xeno and Harmony. When we realised what is going on and that we can't avoid the battle, we assissted Harmony cruiser and two or three Xeno ships. Navy had one gunboat and two VHFs. And there was a guy from Special Operatives called "Amenhotep" in our Battleship Osiris, armed with Liberty battleship guns. He was on our side. He killed that gunboat. I was on tail of Navy ship that piloted guy called Marcus Robinson. I almost got him, but we were close to Planet Manhattan, so I let him go, because I didn't wanted to risk getting killed, and all Order equipment and data falls in Liberty hands. In my cargo hold was that that guy that I camed in New York. His ship was called Eye of Ra. He got destroyed by that Navy gunboat but I was close to him and I took everything from ship including his Escape pod. The Navy falled back and I went back in Omicron Mu to give this guy to Order base and to give immediately report to you Overwatch. I gave it to the medical centre, because he had a small concussion.

Today, I was in Omicron Mu patroling around Omicron Minor Minefield, watching on Omicron Minor jump hole, will somebody come there or not, because our patrol wing from Omicron Minor have reported that they saw a Navy ship from 5th fleet flying aroundWhen patrol was done, on my way back to Battleship Thebes, one Freelancer has left a "Taba Starbase" flying our VHF "Nephthys" armed with Libery guns "Garand VIII and IX". I asked him what is he doing so far here, and he told that he is exploring Universe and he also said that he likes to killing Nomads. I asked him why he don't join The Order, what he replied that he wasn't in space for a nine years. He asked a couple of things about The Order and I said that some of answers on his questions are classified. And also he wanted to see our base Akabat and he said that the the Docking Ring did not let him pass, and I let him land there. He liked it, and he wanted to join to The Order. After he asked little around, the joining in Secondary Fleet is a little procedure, and he decided to countinue his life as a Freelancer, but when we left the Planet a Core vessel has showed up, and he was threating us. That Freelancer attacked him with no mercy, so did I. He was flying "Spa and Cruise" shuttle armed with Debilitators and Mini Razor. But luckly, two Order squadrons showed up, made of one gunboat and two VHF-s. He started to run in direction of Omicron Minor jump hole, and we decided to let him go, his ship was truly faster than ours. When we landed on Akabat, pictures, audio logs and other things I gave to Order barracks, and they decided to invite that Freelancer in Order corps. He accepted the invite, and giving me a huge thanks for helping his dreams come true, and that is flying for The Order.

Hail Overwatch.
Today, I was doing some job on Thebes, when our friend from Primary Fleet asked for immediately help in Omicron Epsilon. As fastar as I can, I went to my ship and left Thebes and went to Epsilon to help him. When I got there, he was under attack by 3 Military ships, one gunboat and two fighters. The place was mess, I tried to attack fighters but gunboat was always on my tail, somehow we escaped from gunboat and took down those fighters. While chasing fighter, our two Battlecruisers have showed up, OCV-Seb, and CV-Erikson, and one fighter from Legacy of Orillion, Beta 3 has showed up too. And yeah, one Al cruiser was there to, supporting Rheinland Military against Order. After we neutralized Military wings a Gunboat was tried to run. We were on him, while Battlecruisers eliminated Al cruiser. When Battlecruisers killed Al, and comed to help with gunboat, he was going towards Sun, trying to kill himself. He committed suicide. Luckly, Order had no losses, and all Rheinland Military ships were neutralized.
Long live for Order.
