It appears as if a piece of hull plating from the Hispania was caught in one of the Social Credit's sensor pallates after our departure from the wreck. This piece was one of the plates that survived the explosion that crippled that sleeper ship. It still bears the carbon scoring of the bomb blast that silenced the Hispania's defiance of the Coalition.
I have ordered special decorations be struck out of this hull plate in memory of our Glorious past.
The Hispania Memorium shall be issued to every pilot that completes the Hispania mission. A mark of honour, a piece of our history.
This is a medal of honour, and will be issued upon your word that you have completed this mission.
Let the Outcasts remember the Hispania, remember their failures, and most of all REMEMBER US!
Natalya and I went out on what was to be a sortie into Rheinland to spread the word of the Revolution, but I was quickly waylaid by a member of The Brotherhood Skyelius. I couldn't believe it as I hadn't seen a member of the Brotherhood for months myself. Skyelius cruised up and we engaged in a short conversation, neither of us wishing any bloodshed.
I pause here because I know my superior officers will not look kindly upon this act, but my history with the Revolution does show that I am not quick to fight, but willing to when needed. This time it was not needed, and would not amount to any great victory.
At this time, I was contacted by Gottfried Halse of our Red Baron allies, and as he was coming to my position, Elder Sephardi showed up and started his usual ranting. Gottfried's appearance didn't help matters with Skyelius, and soon it was a full-fledged firefight.
Natalya Didn't fair too well in the fight against the more fleet ships of the Corsairs, and also the re-enforcements that arrived from seeming out of nowhere. Allies of the RHA and RB fleets, as well as Luis Gellantra arrived to fight the horde, but in the end a full retreat was called when the Reapers of Sirius also showed up and started attacking our fleet. Why they keep allying with the Corsairs I just don't know.
Combatants list: Allies: Red Barons Klaus Stortebeker and Godfried Halse, RHA Alfred Wagner, Gunther Hoerst, Markus Klaus, Adolph Hessler, SCRA Luis Gellantra and Alexi Karchov
Yes my comrades, that is eight allied pilots against sixteen enemy pilots. A two versus one ratio. Loses were minimal, and the retreat to Ronneburg was successful.

Retribution and revenge is needed. Today's battle in Omega 5 demands that we strike back at the Corsairs. Their numbers seem to never end, but we can stop their rampage through the Omegas.
I leave it to you my Rheinland comrades to plan an attack on the Corsairs. The Coalition will always be there in support of your call.

Comrades, it has come to my attention that there is some kind of plague of colored lights sweeping sirius. I have decided that this is the perfect opportunity to make it abundantly clear who and what we are.
Thusly, the following colour arangements are authorized. Any others must be cleared through Admiral Karchov, Admiral Striatov, or myself.
Red Squadron: All lights 'small red'
Gold Wing: All lights 'small red' except the bottoms of the fins on all fighters, which shall be 'small orange'
Recon Squadron: All lights small purple
Capital Ships and Gunboats: All lights 'small red'
Personal Exceptions:
Lieutenant Commander Vicenta Gonzalez: As befits a member of the Provost Marshal's Officer, you shall be all 'small red', except for the bottoms of your fins, which shall be flashing red and blue.
CPR-Death's Head: As the flag of recon squadron, Commissar-Captain Totenkopt shall fly all 'small purple'.
All Commodores and above may fly any colours they deem appropriate.

Comrade Admiral, it has come to my attention that the fighter corps appears to be lacking in bombers, and pilots willing to fly them. If you recall the old days, when the bomber was the one true weapon of the coalition, and the great victories won with them, I think you would agree that the current situation is unsatisfactory.
I would like to recommend that the Fighter Corps Command, being you, order all pilots above the rank of Sub-Lt to acquire a bomber ASAP. Since our larger fleet units are currently in drydock, and not looking to be out any time soon, firepower may soon become a consideration. I would rather we were prepared for the hordes of Legates and Tridentes than watch them massacre us.

I've left Omega 52 towards Alpha, to finish my "Hispania mission" today. I didn't know it'll be so easy at first, but I'll get to that point later.
I took the usual route, but I made a stop at Red Hessian shipyards to play with my lights a bit. It was before the order came out - I'll have to go there soon again to change it according to that. Anyway, I've noticed my "old friend" D.Jameson of the 101st in the Taus. I know he's being very protectful of the Hispania and would be very unhappy if he saw me heading there again. So I've tried one sneaky trick.
I had no idea who the EA| are, but I needed a distraction. I still wasn't quite decided if to really pay them if they succeed or not.
I've arrived to Alpha, which was nearly empty. Either I was so lucky, or they were successful. I've headed straight to Hispania, which was not guarded, and took my chance. I've been soon floating right next to it's remains, undisturbed. I've signed my assigned recon wing number onto it's hull. Number Three. Then I've had some fun flying around and taking photos (see the end of the report), still without being detected at all.
I had to shout trough system comms so they could notice me. After mocking those drugged pathetic pilots that were present a bit, I've chosen withdrawing from the system. Horde of pissed off Outcasts isn't something I'd like to try to fight in my Partisan.
After successful escape from the system trough the longer way - Beta and Sigmas - I've been contacted by the EA. Whoever they were, they were helpful in a way, and even bagged a smuggler, so I paid them the money in the end. Oh well, maybe I shouldn't be so kind.

Today, I would like to promote a member of the revolution who has shown dedication above and beyond the call of duty. This man has won victories in space, on the space lanes, and in the hearts and minds of Sirus. He has shown that the Revolution is for the people, and given many new hope. He has given the proletariat cause for celebration, and the Revolution new manpower and equipment. He has, in short, become the epitomy of the revolutionary.
Commissar-Captain Alvin Katz, you are hereby both promoted, and Declared a Hero of the Revolution!
Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Don't slide now.
Jack Handey Wrote:I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
It is a great honour to accept this promotion and to continue to serve the men and women of the Revolution, and most of all, remain a loyal servant to the people.
My resolve will not wane, but the edge of my knife will remain ever sharp and poised to strike at our innumerous enemies that gather in the dark waiting for their inevitable end.
We are the Coalition, we are the Red Dawn!
For the Revolution, and for you Great Leader!

Sirs,
I thank you for the glorious opportunity you have given me, I have acquired a Partisan Light Fighter from the engineers, complete with new lighting scheme. Although it is paper thin armour wise, I can see it's utility in combat, swift and agile, it should serve as an annoyance to most fighter craft.
I have fully reconnoitered Omega 52 and Omega 50, compliant with my orders. Once I return to duty I shall continue with the exploration of Omega 5 3 and 7.
For now I am on my off duty shift. Flight will be resumed as soon as the hour returns.
Sub-Lieutenant Litvenko out.

Saint Del is considered a holy healer of diseases of children, but also as a protector of cattle.
This is Comrade Petrovich, Mykolaiv fighter technician.
With the new regulations for the lights of fighters to represent wings within the glorious Coalition spacefleet, I took it upon myself to create a list of the light's locations for the Insurgent Very Heavy Fighter. I hope to create similar lists for both the Partisan Light Fighter and the Revolutionary Bomber within the next few days.
Insurgent VHF Light Locations:
1: Headlight. Do not change this light. 2: Docking light. Do not change this light. 3: Docking light. Do not change this light. 4: This is the light in the centre, directly above the cockpit. 5: On the leading edge of the left wing. 6: On the leading edge of the right wing. 7: On the tip of the left stabiliser, horizontally jutting from the engine cowling. 8: On the tip of the right stabiliser, horizontally jutting from the engine cowling. 9: Above the engine's exhaust in the rear, on the left. 10: Above the engine's exhaust in the rear, on the right. 11: This light is on the vertical fin.
