This is Isoroku Hatoyama speaking. For the past three and a hakf years I have been transferred in the Special Operations Division (特殊作戦群) while commanding a captured T-482-T "Kujira" Civilian Transport which allowed me to supply Yurasu Station undetected and in full secrecy. Except those supply runs I have been tasked at times with special cases. In this communication I am reporting the latest one, a Diplomatic Mission to Coalition's Home World.
The operation started in the orbit of Planet Gran Canaria in the remote Omega-49 system where I was intercepted and questioned by SCRA|CPW-Lithuania, a well-armored Coalition Battlecruiser. Presumably because the Coalition regards Omega-49 as part of their territory, they can apply the laws here even though they clearly have no more influence than the Corsairs or the local Zoners. Furthermore, it should be mentioned that I was not aware from the beginning the commanding officer of Lithuania was Premier Mehmet Selim. Even though I was initially treated with suspicion and hostility as I was working for a "House corporation", I managed to persuade them of my good intentions. The Premier wanted the Gold Ore I was carrying and I agreed to exchange it for 20,000,000 SC and a shipment of Vodka. Ten minutes later two Pitbulls came and the exchange was concluded.

After that I tried to persuade them to grant me a tour of their home world, which they call New Moscow. A long shot and the Premier wouldn't agree to it but I was lucky and SCEC|CPRV-Plesetsk arrived at the scene, a Coalition Carrier commanded by Dr. Belov. Then Premier Selim said that I could ask for a permit from SCEC as well, which proved to be a very good development because the SCEC appears to be a much more open-minded and progressive organization than the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army. Dr. Belov agreed and together we headed for Omega-52. [I], [II], [III], [IV], [V], [VI]
After jumping the party was under even more bureaucracy and questioning by the Premier. I also noticed the relationship of SCRA vs SCEC is particularly complicated and there is significant mistrust between the two organizations despite their best efforts to hide it. Anyway we eventually started the tour but we didn't visit the nearby Sevastopol Depot because according to the Coalition, it contained "no commercial value". We first visited Planet Jiangxi and the orbiting Zhukovsky Station. I must say that the infrastructure is lacking while a brief scan on Jiangxi appears to reveal that it suffered a terrible incident, not too long ago. Fortunately SCEC showed me their modern Baku Depot, a modular station which can be used for trade with Samura, unlike any other station which appeared hostile on my scanners. [I], [II], [IV], [V], [VI], [VII], [VIII], [IX], [X]
After a temporary confusion I sensed the opportunity and cruised without orders to Planet Volgograd and took pictures of the nearby Zvezdny Gorodok. The Premier arrived not long after and demanded that I leave. After the tour was over I was escorted back to Omega-49 jump hole. There Dr. Belov gave me as a gift 503 Vogolgrad Ordinance, 50 Xeno Relics, 10 Coalition Proganda leaflets and 100 units of Azurite Gas. He also told me that there is possibility for a secret negotiation and arrangement since Kusari is now enemies with Rheinland. After I thanked everyone for their help, I peacefully departed for Kusari. [I], [II], [III], [IV], [V], [VI], [VII], [VIII], [IX], [X]
