During a memorial flight through the Vespucci system and Veracruz Graveyards, B|-BCV-Powhatan received a weak distress signal from station Veracruz Munitions. On landing, it was found that several damaged Zoner and Independent vessels had taken refuge in the wrecked station, unable to take the various jump holes out of the system to safety. While they had salvaged sections of the station to repair hull breaches, many of these vessels lacked critical materials to be spaceworthy through the Omega-55 jump hole. As such, B|-BCV-Powhatan rendered humanitarian aid with several supply runs in from the Magellan system for foodstuffs and material for ship and station repairs.
I feel that these people deserve our continued support and indeed that Vespucci itself provides for Bristol a strong opportunity for further expansion. The unnumbered warships in system have crews who still remain, not repatriated to their governments or to Planet Veracruz herself, and these warships yet have an opportunity for either salvage or, for some, memorialization to the fallen. To this end, I have contacted CPT Stuart of the transport vessel Eryri to help in proper burial efforts while Veracruz Munitions itself is brought back into operational capacity.
In addition, I advise that combat vessels be dispatched into Vespucci in order to ward off both Technocracy and Gaian vessels who doubtless will disagree with any operations, though understand if this is not practicable due to resources and system location. B|-BCV-Powhatan will, until such time that the station recovers into an operational status, keep in system.
