Hola hermanos, me and my band of Corsair brigands, the Eagles, are now moving into the neighborhood, pirating and the like. Today, I went to test the waters in Omicron Alpha... I destroyed 3 Sabres, and made 2 more Sabres and a BD bomber run from my Titan.

The Brotherhood are always glad to see fledgling Corsairs unite under a banner and fight for Crete and the good of our nation. And it seems that already, you are making a name for yourself! Its a real battlefield out there; and we hope to see your squadron grow and prosper against all our enemies.
Eagles, even though you are new, feel free to make use of the facilities that the Brotherhood has to offer, and ask for assistance whenever you need. Im sure any Corsair would be willing, unless already involved in some fighting.
Good hunting and good luck Eagles, I expect we'll be seeing greater things from you and your brigands in the future.

Greetings Brothers,
Today I set my eyes upon an alarming sight: a border worlds fighter, flying Outcast flags, was in an idle, even casual, orbit around Crete! The pilot, ComID: Osaka, quickly explained that he was a fugitive from the Outcasts, disgusted with their "nomad worship." He apparently believes in the "Corsair way of life" and intends to continue a personal crusade against the Bounty Hunter's Guild under our colors.
However unlikely his story, he at least seemed convinced by it.
Osaka proceeded to complete a number of missions with and without Corsair/Order allies, earning IFF identification under The Order last I saw of him. He seems honestly interested in jumping battle-lines, and I applaud any pilot's sincere choice to do so, but I must implore all of you to keep an eye on this man. I do not need to explain the potential consequences should his intentions be less than pure.
It is a glorious day for the Corsair nation! Our long expected counter-attack finally came true.
We were contacted by Harvesters and they gave us some info about O-Alpha defenses. It was all they could acquire from the infested unit before it was too late.
The plan was to quickly strike in to the heart of Outcast homeland, to destroy that infested unit, before it transfers all the information it posses about Harvesters and Corsairs.
Here is the quick report first, it will be more widely explained down bellow.
Outcasts
{SOB}Capt.Unholy1[A] destroyed by El.Matador
Gabrielle.D'Angelo destroyed by El.Matador
{SOB}Grimtooth destroyed by El.Matador
SkoLL destroyed by El.Matador
Tel'aran'rhiod destroyed by El.Matador
{SOB}Watcher destroyed by El.Matador
{SOB}JollyRoger destroyed by Apricot
[101st]Giovanni.Cordova destroyed by Apricot
RoS]Vengeance[X] destroyed by Apricot
{SOB}Sage destroyed by Apricot
Dragon_Face destroyed by Apricot
King_of_Death destroyed by Grimly
{SOB}1CM destroyed by Harvester_17
[RoS]Paulus[X] destroyed by Sephardi.HF[TBH]
Harvester_24 - suicided
[101st]MNS.Alhambra - ran away
Total of - 16
We gathered our small vessels around Gamma, and started our journey towards Omicron Theta, then to Eta and to Alpha.
One vessel was two days before to Taus (Turtle[Tetsudo]) to investigate and to come from that side once we attack.
Two vessels (Grimly-(Titan) and KUROSAKI-{Hollow}) were sent in front of us so we don't get ambushed and to find the infested unit.
It was all quiet in Omicron Eta, and we easily managed to go trough unnoticed. Once we jumped to Alpha, we were accompanied by two Harvester units in Corsair gunboats.
We headed towards Ibizza where we RV-ed with said two vessels, which already located the infested unit.
We quickly engaged, but it was to easy to go that smooth. We were spotted!
Outcasts quickly sent a huge number of fighters and bombers towards us.
We decided to cover for 3 of our men while they are destroying the infested unit.
And this plan worked perfectly, the Outcasts made a big mistake and concentrated on us, instead of defending the infested unit.
It wasn't long before the first Outcast, {SOB}Watcher, fell to El.Matador's Supernova.
Right after that, {SOB}JollyRoger followed, with my Supernova cracking trough his hull.
At this point Harvester_24 engines failed and it crashed into the nearby planet, with great explosion seen even from space.
Our job was already done, but we were doing pretty well in destroying Outcast vessels, so we decided to stay a bit longer, which proved to be the right decision.
Outcast Sabre VHF SkoLL was soon destroyed by El.Matador's Supernova.
Now at this point Outcasts got reinforcements, their ace pilot [101st]Giovanni.Cordova and their dreadnought, [101st]MNS.Alhembra, showed up on our radars.
We were prepared for such a move from Malta defenders, and our bombers were quickly ordered to engage the dreadnought.
After great damage and, most certainly, few system failiures the dreadnought started backing off. We decided to let it go, as we didn't want to go any closer to Malta, so we don't get ambushed.
After that, [RoS]Paulus was destroyed by Sephardi.
[101st]Giovanni.Cordova at first concentrated his fire on me, but as he wasn't doing too much damage, he tried with other targets.
I was on his tail all the time, by the orders of our group leader. At one point, he made a huge mistake, turned around and headed straight towards me.
As my Supernova wasn't charged, the only chance to use his mistake was to hit him with my ship and drop a nuke.
While his shield was down, mine was up. His ship ended destroyed, my Praetorian ended unharmed, except minor shield failure.
Right after this, {SOB}1CM was destroyed by Harvester_17 unit.
At this point everything seemed to be going perfectly, just as we could only dream off. No losses on our side, heavy losses on Outcast side.
But Outcasts weren't ready to give up yet. {SOB}Grimtooth was on my back all the time, which proved to be a mistake, as El.Matador activated the Nuke I dropped with CD and his ship was blown up to dust.
At this point, Outcast started fighting back much harder. They'v got a hell of a reinforcement when [RoS]Vengeance[X] showed up.
In his bomber, he did an excellent job by destroying both of our Harvester allies. But in the process of doing so, he himself was heavily damaged as well.
Nevertheless, he managed to dodge our fire for a long time. Finally, when he was already burning, he tried his last move, he headed straight towards me to try and hit me with his last Supernova.
Before he could even fire the Inferno to lower my shield, he got hit by my Supernova, and his ship was in pieces.
Quickly after that, El.Matador managed to destroy both Tel'aran'rhiod Sabre VHF, and Gabrielle.D'Angelo Sabre VHF, both with Supernova.
{SOB}Capt.Unholy1[A] managed to destroy [OPG]Poison after some time. His rescue pod was picked up by Sephardi.
Now {SOB}Sage and {SOB}Capt.Unholy1[A] decided to take me as their target, and they did minor damages to my systems, but nothing important.
After King_of_Death was killed by Grimly, {SOB}Sage made a mistake and ran into my Supernova. His ship was destroyed.
Right after that, another Sabre VHF, named Dragon_Face, ran into my Supernova.
It was now 7 of us chasing {SOB}Capt.Unholy1[A] around. After some time, he was finally destroyed by El.Matador's Supernova.
We picked up what we could from the wrecks around, and quickly headed towards Eta. We safely managed to get to Crete.
I wish to thank all the fighters that did an extremely well job in covering us (bombers). Without them, this would never be possible.
Great teamwork and organization again proved to be on the Corsair side.
There's a party at Crete's main bar going on just now, so be welcome to drop by!
This is a glorious day!
Viva los Corsairs!

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
I'll explain our presence in Omicron Alpha !
First, the outcasts were not our target but the 24th harvester unit to collect his bounty !
We were a little wing to search and destroy this target. An invasion wasn't planned !
So we were Hlane.Larkin, KUROSAKI and I hunting this corrupted unit.
I'm actually uploading the data about this "harvest"...
Then we saw we got a great backup and we finally continue to destroy the outcast fighter wings.
About the fighter I destroyed. Some of our hermanos were asking themselves how I did that from the other side of the fight ... I simply disrupted a nuclear mine he just launched. (//CDs are powerful guns;)//)

Today, I met up with a couple of... freaky hombres, si? In Rheinland Military ships, with the Nomad junk wired in. Met 'em in Cambridge, and they called me 'desecrater' for my guns (2 Excaliburs) and then shot at me. I beat 'em down, them freaky hombres, so it's all cool, but we need like the Order or somethin' out that ways...

After a quiet few days, it seems figurative exrement has hit the fan. A number of incidents have taken place, that all Corsairs need to be notified about.
On defence duty of the Cretian docking ring, we detected a Zoner transport "Arctic Bolt" headed in to land. He hailed and requested docking permission. We requested he stop for scans, to then discover he was carrying thousands of passengers.
We blocked the mooring platform, but he headed for Tripoli. We attempted to prevent him docking there, when he doubled back and landed without permission on Planet Crete. I can only assume he offloaded the passengers who may be usurping the food supplies as we speak. The captain of the ship was informed of the consiquences of these actions, and was asked to undock immediately with all the passengers. He did not do so. ((//and then logged off))
Possibly equally as worrying as that, was that this captain claimed to be doing these runs under the instruction of a Brotherhood member, and believed he was bringing "new recruits" to Crete for the Brotherhood.
I would hope that this was not the case, and that the Brotherhood are not betraying their own people by supporting the transport of Libertonian Tourists to Crete. Furthermore, I would hope that the Brotherhood had enough respect for their own blood to recognise that men are born Corsairs, and are not "recruited".
Even those who are adopted into our nation where born with Corsair hearts. We have no use for Libertonian scum.
The second incident took place disturblingly soon after. A number of Jupiter Guild vessels entered Gamma and demanded that a Corsair Vessel; Teal'c, stop and explain himself. The Corsair Gunboat Teal'c ran to Crete with a number of Jupiter Guild gunboats on his tail.
The Jupiter Guild captains where informed that the matter was now under Corsair jurisdiction, and complied with our demands.
It was learned that the Teal'c had been actively hunting Zoners in Omicron Theta, and had destroyed a number of Zoner vessels in surprise attacks within the Freeport-9 safe zone. This included one vulnerable Jupiter Guild vessel.
The captain did not defend himself from the allegations, and did not make any attempt to explain himself. He did, however, shout "HELP" repeatedly.
It became clear to a number of corsairs in Crete's orbit that Teal'c must have been guilty of the aforementioned crimes, who assisted the Jupiter Guild in destroying the vessel after it undocked from Crete and began firing on the Jupiter Guild ships.
After the vessel was destroyed, the Jupiter Guild Gunboats where asked to leave so as not to incite panic on Crete's surface. They complied.
If the captain's escape pod reached the surface safely and the captain is still alive, I would recommend that he be found, and exiled from Corsair space for numerous counts of murder, endangerment of our diplomatic status with the Zoners, and endangerment of the supply of food to our people.
This is my reccomendation, though I expect the matter will be discussed thoroughly.

Regarding the first incident, there have been no authorisations for passengers to be transported to Crete under any name, and there will never be such authorisation. Rest assured that the pilot of that transport was lieing through his teeth. Though one of the notable members of the Brotherhood was indeed Libertonian by birth, he was a Corsair by heart; but thats an entirely different story.
Teal'c is most likely one of the many young hotheaded captains that take to the skies from Crete in something a little larger than their station allows. While I do support punishment in some form, I am against exile, as people can learn from their mistakes... well, most of the time. If that proves futile, then I will support exile, of course. Perhaps, exile directly to the Jupiter Guild might be appropriate if such a need arises.

I wont lecture to you all with a speech of all the things I've seen, done or experienced. Ill simply say this.
Miguel Sephardi is to be made an Elder in my place, and I shall retire from my Elder position. I am confident that Miguel will lead the Brotherhood to glory once again, with the memories of the past, but also the visions of what he wants the future to be, which I now lack.
A new hand is needed, and Miguel has been faithful, honourable and reliable. He deserves this position more than anyone else, in my eyes.
I will still be a part of the Brotherhood, but I will live out the rest of my days as a much simpler soldier, and perhaps a consultant if times become hard again for the Corsairs.
I am honoured to have served the Corsairs and the Brotherhood as an Elder, but my time is up.

Hola Gentlemen
I have two new Nomads for your database. Both class 2'
It seems these two were in Gamma scouting. But it seems they were here just to annoy us as they flew circles around Gamma's red bright sun.
But who knows, they are Nomads to my eyes and my comrades.
Name: **Interceptor**
Ship: Nomad Light Fighter
Weapons:
3 Kakren Type 2
1 Wrasp CD
Notes: Odd combo for a Nomad. Prehaps a human/nomad hybrid
Location: Last seen 14k below Crete moving to Kappa Jump Hole. Disengaged after he jumped.
