I have just completed my Maiden Voyage across Omicron Gamma, Omicron Xi, Omicron Theta, Omicron Omega and Omega-41 and have mapped all the points of interest that I could find. Alongside that I had the pleasure to fly besides Dia Augustopolou as she showed me the Omicron Delta and afterwards the Bretonian systems of Cambridge, New London and Dublin.
In New London we were intercepted by the Bretonian Armed Forces operating ships of various sizes - from behemoths the size of the Legates protecting Crete to ships as small as a snubcraft. I personally managed to take down one of them, a bomber craft, as we got engaged by what looked like a cruiser sized vessel accompanied by said bomber. Furthermore our joint effort and the destructive power of our Salamanca Blasters managed to put down a gunboat sized vessel as well. Sadly I could only acquire the destruction shot, but not a scan of the vessel.
Forcing the enemy into retreat we used the moment to move out of the New London system and back into the Omegas. In one particular system - Omega-3 we caught another Bretonian war ship that looked like something between a cruiser and a gunboat, Augustopolou called it a "siege cruiser", I believe. Thankfully the vessel was damaged already as we approached it which gave us the chance to dispatch it before it could retreat to safety.
The destruction of the last two war vessels mentioned were a joint effort between me and Augustopolou so I believe any fame and rewards for them should be split evenly as I could never take all the credit for them.
I would like to congratulate you on your achievements, you are proving that the decision to accept you into the space initiative of the Custodi was not a bad idea. I also hope my daughter was not much of a bother during your assignments.

I've just returned from my first expedition into Rheinland space with some good and some bad news. I began my journey from Crete and into Xi and then into the dense green cloud containing the Munich Jump Hole that I discovered during my Maiden Voyage. On the other side I found myself in an unfamiliar system, but Evangelia Kaya gave me the coordinates to the Jump Gate leading to the so called Frankfurt system.
After flying there and jumping into the next system I found Kaya surrounded by two foreign to me vessels belonging to the "Bunshoe" and the "Hessians". The Hessian vessel was cruiser sized and the Bunshoe was inside a fighter, a Sabre I believe. It was fairly obvious what was about to happen next so the fighter began retreating into a nearby asteroid cloud. We powered up our weapons and engaged him as he tried to evade us into the covering fire of the cruiser vessel.
Soon after another Hessian showed up on our scanners and was quickly ordered by the cruiser captain to open fire on us. Identifying his vessel as heavier and slower I focused my efforts on him and signaled Kaya to do so as well. Our combined effort quickly and efficiently eliminated him. In fact it all happened so quickly that his disintegrated wreck dropped nanobots and shield batteries that he had no chance to use and the Bunshoe picked them up, but they were still not enough to save him.
Being left with only the cruiser on the field against us we thankfully received backup in the form of General Augustopolous. With the combined power of our Loberas we had the potential to disable the ship's shielding and begin rupturing the hull bit by bit. When the cruiser began taking more and more damage another hostile snubcraft approached us, at first hesitant to engage, but soon after the plead of the cruiser opened fire upon us and was removed by me and Augustopolous while Kaya was keeping the cruiser vessel from escaping.
With nobody else left to defend the cruiser we slowly burned through it's hull and caused it's reactor to detonate from the damage and waste the whole ship in a big explosion. While this was happening a Rheinland Military ship was observing from the distance, reluctant to engage us. By the time we caught up to it the captain had managed to get close enough to the defenses of the nearby planet so we pulled away with the General heading for the Sigmas. There was another Bunshoe vessel that me and Kaya caught, but we decided we do not have sufficient firepower to deal with it and left it be. Strangely it had a ship of similar design to the Rheinland Military warship that we met prior.
Seeing we're in a situation in which fighting would not be preferable, Kaya and I made our way to a depot base right next to the system's sun that was maintained by the Dorians. I extracted some video footage from my ship's systems during maintenance which I'll attach below for evaluation.
I would also like that any bounty and fame from this endeavor to be split evenly between me and Kaya as this was a joint effort and something I would not be able to do on my own.
Today I made my way back to our home at Gamma through the same path via which I came the day before. Upon jumping back to Xi I was greeted by a Rheinland Military big warship on the other side of the jump hole and inside the green cloud. This encounter was nearly the end of me as I was caught by surprise due to the diminished visibility and sensor efficiency. I luckily evaded the incoming fire and made my way outside of the cloud and towards Gamma.
Congratulations on your and Kaya's achievements. Each of your accounts was credited with $6'000'000.
The movements of Rheinlanders into the Omicron systems is exceedingly worrying and we might find ourselves between a rock and a hard place if we continue to allow for this. i will get in touch with the Council of Elders so as to get information what they are planning to do about this.
Several events today worth reporting. The first was my fly through of the Omicron Delta system. I had decided to scout the system after hearing about all the activity going on there by the Dorians, Order and Core. While the system itself lay silent when I arrived, there was a member of the Bretonian Armed Forces near the Freeport. I lured him outside the NFZ and made sure he wouldn't be reporting on any events in the system.
Next, I had returned to Gamma, where I encountered one of our Dorian brothers running artifacts to Puerto Rico. He claimed he would be fine alone, and that he could outrun any trouble that might find him. As such, I progressed to continue with my scouting, and moving through the Omega's I encountered a neutral installation by the name of Star Space Port in Omega 9. For now, I have only recorded its location, as my destination still lay a ways off from it and I didn't wish to delay in scouting the Bretonian systems for any similar installations.
Sure enough, my search paid off before long. Anglesey Abbey in Cambridge is an installation that reads as hostile to us. The neutral station Ilfracombe Base, near the Leeds jumphole is one of the most advanced I have seen as yet. That is, until I encountered the Goldern Coin hostile installation in Dublin. The other modular installations in New London that lie on or near the trade lanes are, Isle of Sky, Crosshabour Station, and Canary Wharf Station near Planet New London. Ironside Industries is located just behind South Hampton Shipyard. Finally, the Installation Fortitudine, near the Cambridge jumpgate reads as hostile to us as well.
Missions completed, Pest Control and Gold Dust
I've returned to the Fez, which has relocated to Cambridge, as I await further tasking.
Without much to do on the Fez, I took yet another recon flight through Bretonia. While there was not much worth investigating, or even happening, there was a single encounter with a transport, who wisely decided to pay his dues rather than meet an untimely end. Aside from this single event, nothing to report.

[19.11.2017 09:51:42] C::Argus,Nikitas: Fantastic. Fly safe now you hear.
Cambridge is quite a welcoming place. Unfortunately an Ion Storm cut my stay short. Perhaps it is time we take a more active approach in infiltrating Bretonia. The Fes itself is in an excellent place to raid from, and there has been minimal opposition to my flights through the Bretonian systems.
After being away for so long, I decided it was time to dust off my fighter by taking a short trip to Bretonia together with Argus. I can safely say it was a satisfying journey.
