To: Sirius Coalition Communication Center From: Junior Lieutenant Pyotr Nechayev Subject: Sortie Report #1 Priority: HIGH
Dobriy vecher, comrades!
I've just returned from a long mission, and had a chance to get some rest and write the following report.
I was ordered to join our comrades for a raid into enemy territory. No doubt, the High Command feels the Alliance remnants should be reminded that their days are numbered.
After a minor navigation error, I've located the friendly force near Planet Rugen in the New Beijing system. Apparently, they had already dispatched a lone Corsair fighter - in a duel, no less, when I got there.
We set off, our path taking us through worlds nominally controlled by the so-called Corsair Empire. As if pirates could sink any lower - now they have imperialist aspirations, too? Regardless, the pirates made no attempt to interfere as we bypassed their defenses and entered the far Edge Worlds.
Here, we encountered one Bounty Hunter gunship. Its captain was swiftly reminded about the downsides of his distasteful trade - perhaps he can debate the ethics of hunting human beings for credits while putting his ship back together.

[12.02.2023 17:02:59] Kukushka: Zarya-4-2: Cargo hold full of alien materials? Mhm, okay.
[12.02.2023 17:03:00] SCRA|Pyotr.Nechayev: You're past getting paid for taking lives. Engaging bounty hunter vessel!
[12.02.2023 17:03:12] Kukushka: Zarya-4-2: Target locked. Ogon!
[12.02.2023 17:03:32] Gao.Cheng: Ill wait at this side [12.02.2023 17:03:47] Death: Hitman-3[C] was put out of action by Kukushka (Gun).

[12.02.2023 17:03:54] SCRA|CPR-Kasatka: Well done.
[12.02.2023 17:03:59] Liam.Hon-Su: Great work.
[12.02.2023 17:04:07] SCRA|Pyotr.Nechayev: One less mercenary scumbag.
[12.02.2023 17:04:12] Gao.Cheng: Indeed.
After that, we passed through space where the Order organization is known to operate but spotted no sign of either them or their alien foes. We went through Omicron Alpha and diverted to collect some readings from the massive wreck of the Hispania. Some of our ancestors arrived to this miserable place on that ship!
From there, we made our way into the Tau Border Worlds - a contested area between the bickering Houses where we hoped to find something of use to us. At first, it was the same as everywhere else - we scared a few freelancer pilots and collected readings from stellar anomalies.
[12.02.2023 17:32:24] SCRA|Pyotr.Nechayev: Contact on long-range sensors.
[12.02.2023 17:32:25] Kukushka: Zarya-4-2: Huh? Lonely freighter?
[12.02.2023 17:32:57] SCRA|Vladimir,Akimnov: Anyone home?
[12.02.2023 17:33:14] Gao.Cheng: Hello??
[12.02.2023 17:33:34] Kukushka: Zarya-4-2: What are you doing here, freelancer?
[12.02.2023 17:33:49] SCRA|Pyotr.Nechayev: Must be a derelict...
[12.02.2023 17:33:58] Gao.Cheng: That's a suspiscious callsign though.
[12.02.2023 17:34:23] Gao.Cheng: Could be one of those gaul spies.
[12.02.2023 17:34:29] SCRA|CPR-Kasatka: So, what's orders about this one?
[12.02.2023 17:35:04] Kukushka: Zarya-4-2: I guess no one is here. Should we tow this ship to Omegas?
[12.02.2023 17:35:23] Gao.Cheng: Is it worth it, though?
[12.02.2023 17:36:28] SCRA|Pyotr.Nechayev: No signs of intelligent life aboard.
[12.02.2023 17:36:55] Gao.Cheng: Let's keep moving.
[12.02.2023 17:37:14] SCRA|Pyotr.Nechayev: Orders?

[12.02.2023 17:41:07] SCRA|Vladimir,Akimnov: What are you doing here, Freelancer?

[12.02.2023 17:42:21] SCRA|Pyotr.Nechayev: No doubt, profiting from the labors of others?
[12.02.2023 17:42:37] Optimist: yes true but like my name says

[12.02.2023 17:44:10] Kukushka: Zarya-4-2: Lando, seems like nothing to do here for us.
[12.02.2023 17:44:13] SCRA|Pyotr.Nechayev: Love to chat, but orders are orders.
[12.02.2023 17:44:37] Optimist: well rich man get richer
[12.02.2023 17:44:47] Kukushka: Zarya-4-2: Wrong.
Then we encountered a Universal Shipping merchant vessel. Its captain was taken aback at first but proved to be cooperative after we completed the inspection of his cargo hold. I don't think most Sirians realize that, as officers of the Coalition, we are not in the habit of gunning down random civilians without reason. Perhaps we should increase efforts to win over hearts and minds. Anyway, we bought some Liberty Ale from the transport captain - something to help pass the downtime.
[12.02.2023 17:49:11] SCRA|Pyotr.Nechayev: Picking up a contact.
[12.02.2023 17:49:19] Aletheia.VII: Greetings!

[12.02.2023 17:49:50] Aletheia.VII: How may I help today?
[12.02.2023 17:49:56] Kukushka: Zarya-4-2: Please stay still.
[12.02.2023 17:50:01] Aletheia.VII: Sure sure
[12.02.2023 17:50:09] Liam.Hon-Su: Looks like some interesting cargo.

[12.02.2023 17:50:31] Gao.Cheng: Right
[12.02.2023 17:50:32] Liam.Hon-Su: Do you want to share some Ale to coalition soldiers?
[12.02.2023 17:50:51] Evelyn.Taylor: Huh.
[12.02.2023 17:50:51] Aletheia.VII: My employer won't be happy, but staying alive makes me happy
[12.02.2023 17:51:10] Liam.Hon-Su: You have a right.

[12.02.2023 17:51:34] Aletheia.VII: Just hauling for an income
[12.02.2023 17:51:42] Liam.Hon-Su: We can buy some.
[12.02.2023 17:51:50] Aletheia.VII: I see, forgive me, Lane Hackers have been on me a lot
[12.02.2023 17:52:07] Aletheia.VII: How many crates do you wish for?
[12.02.2023 17:52:15] SCRA|Vladimir,Akimnov: We are ready to buy 100 boxes of Liberty Ale.

[12.02.2023 17:56:32] Aletheia.VII: Farewell!
Our presence didn't go unnoticed however - a pair of Bretonian fighters arrived to challenge us, backed by a mercenary ship. We set course for Kusari space, not intending to indulge them. But they didn't feel like letting us leave, despite being outnumbered.
A fight ensued, further complicated by the arrival of a Gallic intelligence ship, an Outcast, and some kind of Rheinlander - possibly MND.
In an unexpected move, the Gallic ship engaged the Bretonians alongside us. I somehow landed the final blow on the mercenary, despite spending most of the fight making sure Comrade Akimnov's bomber was not left alone against Keller. My comrades deserve full credit for that one. The Rheinlander hung on my tail for a bit, but gave up quickly and fled. Claimed we were 'not worth the effort', no doubt to soothe his ego. Similarly, the other enemies were driven off one by one until Keller was left alone - and he didn't last long against our righteous wrath.
[12.02.2023 17:57:25] Evelyn.Taylor: Evening boys.

[12.02.2023 17:58:27] BAF|Lt.Lukas.Keller: Don't leave so soon.

Once it was over, we made a quick stop in the Coronado system to rest and set course for Liberty.
Almost immediately after entering New York, a lone Liberty Navy capital ship was spotted. We were ordered to disable it, and I joined the bombers in their attack runs - mostly succeeding in drawing fire away from my comrades. When the target was close to breaking apart, an order was given to cease fire, perhaps to demand formal surrender, but it was too late - the ship was too damaged to respond to hails. We left Liberty Navy to fish up the survivors and retreated.

After that, it was only a matter of going through Bering and into Rheinland to return home. We bypassed Rheinland Military patrols - it seems most of their forces were deployed elsewhere.
I made it safely back to the Ben Warner, ready for continued operations. Long live the Coalition!

안녕하세요. We have successfully launched a surprise attack on the enemy fleet close to our borders. The enemy fleet was completely destroyed, but they managed to seriously damage our cruiser. Inflicting such strikes, we undermine the authority of the corsairs from their allies. We need to keep going like this.

A modular station "Mineore Research Center" was a great opportunity to test out a new set of "Sledgehammers" - a new Mykolaiv R&D Development for Tempest-class ships.
CPRV-Baykonur has arrived successfully with victory in the Omega-11 system. "Sledgehammer" turrets proved their worth in the destruction of modular stations.

Comrades,
I think my time has come to yet make another difficult choice. We have accomplished alot in this short period of time, but my expertise are required with my fellow Comrades in Arms, in the Battlefield, not within bureaucracy. You have all left this man with Honor and dedication to the bright future of the Coalition. For the longevity and prosperity of our People, we've expanded our influence into the depths of Sirius and on that way we've also made alot of friends, aswell as enemies. During my time in the Office, I'm sure we've made alot more enemies for the best or for the worst, but we've stayed true to our Goals and I'm sure with the future leadership, that will not change. I will be taking arms as a General and proceed my old activities in the Commissariat.
Welcome back our Comrade Lev Zabuzko to being the Premier, once again taking his skill and vision into his position of leadership and ensuring a bright future, for our Coalition!
Do Svidan'ya,
Premier,

Guten tag, kameraden!
Junior Lieutenant Martin Lichternberg reporting for after action report of today's sortie.
First of all, during routine patrol of OMEGA-48 system Ich encountered an unknown modular space station "LandStar" in sector 2C. While this station have neutral IFF and does not appear to be hostile, they've refused to provide docking access, as well as any information about themselves. Below you may find visual confirmation of this installation.
After documenting data about this station, Ich continued my patrol. In system OMEGA-5 Ich encountered friendly transport ship "CPS-Tsarist" from Volgograd Industries en route to Dublin system, hauling supplies to our friends - Mollies. Ich provided escort for our transport, and thankfully there were no military or police patrols on our way. However, on our route back to New Moscow wir were ambushed by corsair raider party. Danke to maneuverability of my fighter, I've managed to buy time for a friendly transport to escape. Once I've ensured that transport left the area of engagement, Ich left the area myself as well, since I couldn't deal much damage to Corsair battlecruiser and her gunboats. I've reported their location to Tangier and left the danger zone myself to finish the escort of friendly ship. After finishing the escort Ich returned to my base of operation.

Comrades,
After ending my Premiership some years ago, and spending the following time among the ranks of our Comrades in Rheinland, I have finally returned home to our nation. Should the Commissariat wish to question or penalize me after such a long absence, I understand fully, and will not resist.
I've come home to where I belong, and I stand ready to serve the people, and our glorious Revolutionary Army, in whatever way is required of me.
For the glory of the Coalition,
Colonel Katya G. Vaschenko (ret), signing off.
I am Colonel Orest Sidonis. We may not have met, but from this moment forward, I am your commanding officer. Due to ongoing reforms within the army, your rank has been adjusted to Major. However, this should not be seen as a limitation of your previous permissions—they remain largely unchanged. The rank system's complexity has been a source of difficulty for our clerks, and we must consider their mental well-being; after all, if they were to be institutionalized, who would handle the paperwork? Certainly not us, the commanding officers, as we have far more critical tasks at hand.
Nonetheless, you are to report to Zvyozdny as soon as possible before proceeding to Aralsk to assume command of your warship.
