The plan has worked. I have met them. They call themselves "The Defilers". They used ordinaryships that looked like they could have been manufactured by Liberty Rogues or any similar organization. I managed to learn that they call their leader WarlordVentrin. They were reluctant or unable to say where they operate or what is their agenda. It is possible that they genuinely do not know just serving a role of disposable low level henchmen. Redrige openly admitted his pirate origins before being recruited into the Defilers, which seem to be a small terrorist cell with unknown agenda.
As for the less important part of my assignment, I have received the payment. The Defiles wants us to organize a force in Omicrons that could strike the Core. I said that we can organize it as long as the Professorship deems it profitable enough. I promised to reply on the previous comm channel whenever I get any new instructions.
