Subject: Hispania
Greetings Sirs, Madams and Comrades
The time had come for me to view the Hispania. I immediately set off from Zvezdny Gorodok and immediately headed for the Omega 5 jump hole at the center of the Omega 5 debris field from their I head via Omega 47 to Omega 41. I know I could have flown from Omega 5 to Omega 41 but that would have required me to fly in close proximity of Cadiz which would have likely blown the operation. After reaching Omega 41, I flew to omicron theta and from their Omicron Eta and then Omicron Alpha.
Upon Arrival in Alpha I went due south as not to get detected by Malta's sensor networks. I arrived at the site of the wreck to my luck and my surprise there was not an outcast in sight to maintain the element of surprise I quickly entered and looked around it, quickly etched my name, left my voice on the voice recorded and then left the wreck behind.
I did not come into contact with anyone except from two outcasts. Both encounters occurred upon my departure from the Hispania. The first contact was a pilot whose IFF was absent was being mobbed by several Bounty Hunter ships. This would suggest that he had incorrectly configured it however from my scans it did indicate that it did contain outcast weaponry on it.
The second was an outcast dreadnought however it seemed to be preoccupied by something beyond my scanner range as I saw it open fire on something. After that I returned to Zvezdny Gorodok via the aforementioned path.

[color=#FFFF00]I must say your counter-offer is most surprising. Why would I, the Commandant of the Fighter Corps, require you as a Commissar? Do you not think I inspire our men enough? Do you not think that when it comes to putting actions into words, I am unable to do so?
I heard of this little raid you lead the other night. Only you and Major Xu made it back intact. Infact, I hear that Major Xu had to tow what was left of the Stormfall back while we completely lost a TALOS unit! While those are replaceable, I do not like losing assets at this pivotal time in the Dublin campaigns. Especially when you run a fools mission to the Omicrons. Everything is replaceable General, even you. I only require XiaoBei to remove whatever intelligence (or lack thereof) from that metal crate of yours, duplicate it and subjugate it to do my will.
I wonder what you were trying to prove to me General? That you could lead the men? That you are a competent tactician? You failed on both counts. The men were so brick scared of you, that the Outcast's celebrated New Year 6 months early with their very own Insurgent firework show! Mendal was right, my corps is a shambles and you leading the men on the front line does not inspire them to victory.
As such, no matter how much I do not want to, I accept this offer. You are barred from fighter flight, even if you do decide to grace the battlefield - It will be through a proxy only. We have plenty of SCUD wings left, take one of those.
You are a hate figure Blackblood. I will continue to mould you into one. The men shall rejoice when they see me because of you. I am the shield, their protector, the upholder of all the values of the Coalition. You are the doom bringer. I will make your life hell because I require an antagonist, someone who will take all the blame for when things go wrong. Someone who does not mind being despised.
You shall have your wish. You shall be "The Commandant's Hand".
Oh and by the way - The cleaner Eva had this new hypersonic vacuum cleaner. Do you know what happened to it?

[color=#FFFFFF]Fellow Soliders.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]The Commandant's missions are now in progress. The first of which was completed late yesterday. The Premier was safely aboard the CPW-Radek with Captain Forge and I in attendance as escort. The trip to Edinburgh was largely uneventful and the POTC was successfully deployed to Gaia for his annual... break... *cough*
[color=#FFFF00]Captain Lebedewa is currently preparing herself for her Gallic mission. I wish her every success and good hunting. We require that information on the Gallic fighter threat urgently.
Captain Forge is also to undertake a strategic review of the Order's secondary forces. By strategic, I mean counter. By review, I mean insurgency. You didn't hear that from me of course.
That is all for now comrades. I expect updates on this channel regarding your missions.
Further missions will be distrubed over the coming days. We have a busy few months ahead of us as we prepare for this Gallic threat.
The Premier has been safely delivered to Islay Station. The Radek subsequently completed a full Omega patrol, as well as a full sweep of Dublin. We destroyed or drove off everything we encountered.
And we did it without General Hoover's suction based ramblings.
Dobre Deen,
Commander N. Richthofen

Good Evening, Comrades.
Two days ago, Captain Forge lead a detachment of the Glorious Fighter Corps against the Bretonian oppressors in Dublin. Unprepared and undertrained, the Bretonians were scattered in our first assault, finally retaliating with numerous fighters.
Initial Engagement
Captain Forge, seeing our fighters struggling to emerge from the Bretonian horde, drew several enemy vessels to himself, using the radiation of Dublin's sun to disrupt their shields. His manoeuvre bought our forces precious time, allowing the Molly's to scramble their own reinforcements. Regrettably, Comrade-Captain Forge's vessel suffered serious damage and he was forced to eject.
The Bretonian forces continued to flood the gate, forcing our withdrawal. The coward's fighters had positioned themselves around Arranmore Base, presumably to launch an assault on the Molly population. Inaccurate as the enemy fire was; it was dense and my both Insurgent and that of Junior Lieutenant Kolobov, were destroyed. Lieutenant Murray was able to retrieve our escape pods prior to her escape, even as the Molly forces massed for a counterattack.
Regardless, our forces suffered substantial losses. I failed. It will not happen again.

Well. We learned a valuable lesson today. If enough stupid people throw something at you, they'll eventually hit. Stupid people being Corsairs, of course, and "something" being an almost ridiculous amount of missile's.
Regardless, given the odds, everyone did extremely well. Don't feel disheartened, at the end of the day, win or lose, they still can't count to ten. Or spell. Or pronounce "Engaging" properly.
Give it your all, and if you lose, drink it down, learn, and come back to fight another day.

[color=#FFFFFF]Fellow Soliders.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]The Commandant keeps a watchful eye on us all, and tonight proved to be an excellent way of keeping the BAF on their toes.
[color=#FFFF00]Upon leaving the confines of Arranmore base, I was disgusted to meet an Outcast Battleship. After alerting the Mollys, and gathering our own forces - We struck at the battleship. 3 Molly fighters were downed, and the batteship ran to the Newcastle system. General Rhade on the Totenkopf and Captain Forge in his Revolution harassed the battleship, however we were unable to prevent it docking. The battleship claimed the ships of 4 Mollys, a disgusting show of force.
In retaliation for the BAF allowing such a horrible vessel to dock upon their station, we took out our annoyance on a passing Bretonian gunboat. It's cloak could not save it.
Finally getting their attention, a Challenger Bomber, A Templar and a Hussar looked us in the eye. Admiral Broch, leading some sort of Scout troop, arrived onboard the Social Credit and our three gunboats duelled the BAF forces until the Xi'ans guns hit true and the Bomber was destroyed.
Seeing our victory, we withdrew from the battle before we took on too much damage and provoke a massed Dunkirk BAF response.
I also praise Dr XiaoBei for the new Carbon Fibre Shell and Stealth Paint. We glided through Dublin and away from our enemies effortlessly.
Today we've met a flock of Sails in Omega 5. After General Rhade gloriously dueled one of that cannibals, the rest of that cattle herd plunged on us. I was forced to do a tactical retreat back to our system and one of that fools decided to jump too. The weapon's of Eisner along with mine, made him to change his decision as he jumped back. After emergency repairs I returned to cover General Rhade.
