Tech-lease

I do not want to make the same mistakes as Hellfire Legion and others who had aided you in the past. The Order Overwatch prefers to keep its soldiers and allies alike informed on the bigger picture even if the finer detail is classified never to see the light of day to keep the organization running. The Order is not on the Liberty’s side. It is therefore in our best interests that you know our agenda.

The Order Overwatch upon its formation decided to pursue a goal of restoring balance within Sirius Sector. This goal has been swept under the rug previously by conformists seeing Nomads as the only legitimate threat to humankind. Truth is that while the alien kind is single most disrupting force to universal order in this part of the galaxy, there is no shortage of overly ambitious mad men, especially in the Omicrons as evidenced by the Core. Even the Legion supports one of the faces of the corruption, named Auxesia.

Balance in our context refers to delicate state of internal and external affairs where human-to-human conflict is contained to government agencies and its respective unlawful element, never escalating to full on total war as we witnessed in history of Sirius for the first time in year of 800 A.S. - so called Nomad War. It is by no means an ideal configuration but it keeps our species as a whole expanding, feeding on our intrinsic territorialism. For 800 years we have endured peace between all Sirian Houses and were it not for Nomads ability to infiltrate and mimic us, we would had been ready to xenocide them once and for all that fateful year. The alternative? There had been not a single day of peace in Sirius since 814. Our intentions for Liberty are quite clear. We desire Liberty to be competitive and to scale with its neighbours while remaining sufficiently powerful to never fall into dominion or influence of other parties.

We had been ironing out some details on our side. The Order Intelligence selected Barrow, Hudson star system as intended rendezvous. Overwatch will divert a Geb-class carrier from Rheinland with a mission to deliver initial fighter force to your special forces. Initially we will deliver 12 O15A Nephthys class assault fighters to Barrow, with subsequent repeat deliveries intending to increase number towards 30+ fully functional, readily available birds for your disposal. I trust that Xenos can provide escort within their AO until our carrier can withdraw towards allied protection closer to the Sigma cluster. This is paramount because our own screen will consist of ‘your own’ ships and long range patrols far away from base.

O15A “Nephthys” is heavily armored, three engined heavy fighter with most powerful powercore in its class and seven forward oriented gun systems to take advantage of its energy reserves. The cockpit layout, HUD and software will be familiar to those of your kind that used to fly Liberty Navy craft - which may cause some acclimatization issues when switching over from Dagger-configuration Prosecutor fighters. Once your hand-picked pilots will be accustomed to these vessels, we can additionally offer to fill some other gaps within your shipline. However keep in mind that any of these warships are far more taxing in terms of maintenance to simple and robust Sabres.

Therefore I advise caution and conservative management of these gifts, they are not easily replaceable with their production lines safely in the deep Edge Worlds. I recommend that at least until adequate numbers are received by your selected squadrons, take advantage of our fronts and allies to revise and upgrade some of your older stock of equipment. We have capacity to repair or build untraceable civilian and border world blueprints on site or just past Liberty borders. We also have up to date construction lines of any modern Liberty weapon (within reason).

The Order will sanction unrestricted usage of Order hardware on your part to dislodge Separatists from their current fortifications within Independent Worlds. I see them as nothing more but disgraced warlords who thought themselves to emulate The Order, mocking our ideals. What they lack is purpose, with their accusations falling short lacking any sort of evidence to back any of their delusions. They had also taken custody over remaining core of LSF who are sought after for their unwarranted aggressions against The Order and people we seek to defend. Furthermore, this rebel offshoot of the Navy prohibits our supply runs of Kemwer though their territory, unaware of context and basic thought.

The Order itself cannot send any of its regular fighting force to the Independent Worlds at current time, with our current priority being securing a safe corridor between Order controlled worlds and Rheinland where we have a deep understanding with local underground movements. As security level and logistical output increases in the area, we will be able to ramp up interference in the Independent Worlds and secure greater control over the region. However this battle is ours to fight as I cannot in good mental health ask you to even consider spilling some blood for a home not yours.

The whiteboxes are also welcome, our carrier will receive these gifts and take them into further study to proper Order facility in due time. The sophisticated and continually upgraded nature of the measures put in place to protect Ageira’s intellectual property continues to fascinate our researchers even if our original R&D had its roots within the very same corporation. The Order needs to keeps its edge. The carrier will relieve you of the cargo.

Finally… The Order would like to keep the exchange two-way. Nephthyses do not come cheap and we understand Xenos do not produce any starships unique only to your organization. Therefore our request is minimal, simple and within realms of possibility for you. We ask for access to Xeno weaponry to use with The Order’s combat evaluation unit pending possible further acquisition after period of trials to determine whether our arsenal benefits from addition of your assets. The data we already have on effectiveness of your systems indicate near crippling reliance on devastating firepower… a trait that may work alongside among other things: Nephthys class fighters.
