As an update, all projects have been updated to reflect current standing:
Operation Singularity(internally XV01-Zero-EDSC) was the first project we initiated. While it originally was in the employ of a Zoner research organization before, it is now under in our stead as a mobile research platform for Deep Space Research and as a Carrier for our smaller ships into dangerous space. The vessel is moored at HQ for operations run from it's halls. Weapons upgrades are currently being developed at this time for the XV01-Zero-EDSC at this time and expected to be completed within the next two months.
Operation Dawnbreak(internally GX33-Zero-DEDSEV) has progressed to it's natural end point. The only thing left is minor tweaks of it's internal sensor array which we are more than capable of doing. Some discussion with the Lane Hackers might be necessary to get us to where we're happy with.
Operation Nuance(internally GX42-Seven-HABA) is a vessel intended to be utilized for escort services of vital and important cargo or persons. The vessel is based out of Ikarus Station in Tau-23 and at HQ. All other times it is used to survey dangerous areas with onboard researchers and engineers.
Project Orion(internally XV05-Four-DSARV) is stationed out of Ikarus Station in Tau-23 alongside our Starflier allies in the area. While there, they are tasked with researching the ongoing instability of the system in relation to what those in [REDACTED] refer to as "Baxter Anomalies". This research is ongoing though not critical for the operational tasks that Bastion is currently undertaking.
Project Keelhaul(internally GX55-Seven-Seven-EHEV) is currently stationed out in Omicron Delta along with XV01-Zero-EDSC. It's purpose is to enter Earhart via the advanced Jump drive discovered onboard the EDSC. There it will enter any open anomaly gates to harvest materials from said systems and return via an exit gate into Sirius space. There, it will rendezvous back with the EDSC to deliver it's materials for further study. Depending on the exit gate, this travel time can be quite extreme. All personnel are authorized expenditures due to the travel time often required.
Project Needle(internally FZ-Eight-SREF) was designed following a need for faster and more nimble escort craft than that of the GX33-Zero-DEDSEV and the GX42-Seven-HABA. Based upon the frame of the Jackdaw Heavy Fighter, the FZ-Eight is designed for one and one thing only, speed.
Engineers are working diligently to ensure that all projects and taskings are completed as necessary to meet our goals.
In another update, progress with our first operational weapon is making progress. Many materials are far from [REDACTED] and as such it is taking time to have our people ferry in materials. As soon as our IFF and Name snafu is fixed, we have plans to reach out to the Core for further aid in exchange for monetary or other means. Until then, we will have to endure with our limited logistics ability.
With that, this log is completed on the 19th of December, 833 A.S. This is Cassius Mordecai signing off.
It's been decided internally that we're going to be leaving [REDACTED] behind. The issues with the IFF and Name, plus the fact that the base is coming apart in places, plus the fact that the weapons manufacturing is taking too much time has lead us to believe that it isn't in our best interests to maintain operations here moving forward.
We will possess the access codes for the time being and I will still have an engineering team continuing to work on the IFF and Name in the meantime. As soon as that is resolved, we will be putting the location on the open market for sale. We've already wiped all of the data off the internal computers related to our organization and backed up all related data to the Singularity which is already preparing to leave the system via Jump Drive.
The [REDACTED] will continue to operate on the outskirts of [REDACTED] until further notice. Repairs there have completed and the skeleton crew will maintain their vigil over it's operations.
It's time we get back on the road, this operation has taken up enough time as it is.
With that, this log is completed on the 20th of December, 833 A.S. This is Cassius Mordecai signing off.
