Saludos, High Command,
The current defensive operations around Sanctum showed me that vast amounts of resources are needed in order to be combat effective in sustained military operations. My report will be focused on H-fuel, needed for both vessel movements and station shield modules. As you probably know, our Murmillo-class battleship is a retrofitted Osiris-class, originally build by the Liberty Navy. Over the years it suffered many upgrades on all components, but the engines are still fairly the same as those from the first Osiris battleship. They suffered an overhaul on the Osiris-class when the cloaking device was scrapped for increased armor and engine power, but they're still outdated and not fuel efficient.
To this reason, I'll start looking for a third party who runs operations in Liberty, so it has the means to access Liberty tech to find a way to lower the fuel consumption of our Murmillo-class battleship engines and if possible to further enhance its performance. I'll start by moving the Parabellum close to Tripoli Shipyard and wait in the bar, as the station sees alot of traders hauling their Premium Scrap to us.

Saludos Capitan,
This sounds like a brilliant idea, I am always up for improving our ship line. Mitigating the fuel consumption will save us a lot of dinero on the long run.
I recently got a word from our field operatives that they've managed to capture a GMG vessel passing through the Omicrons. We can try to use it to pass through the Sigmas and fetch some H-Fuel in case you'll need some to run experiments.
You should note that the Sanctum's shields run on Thorium MOX, rather than the H-Fuel we're reserving for our fleet.
Regardless, you have my full support. Ravenna Vult!

Esteemed Executor,
The past week has proven Your wisdom, as well as might. All those who dared doubt that have been silenced by explosions of fools whose ships broke upon our fleets.
Valiant defense led by Capitana Sanchez of CNS-Thalassa, and our brave strike craft wings manned by our battle-hardened Hermanos y Hermanas, allowed us to continue reinforcing the Sanctum with minimal interruptions and worker casualties, and just moments ago the work has finished.
All decks are plated with as much titanium plating as the superstructure allows, Thorium MOX reserves allow shield generator to run for 3 days straight if need be and automatic defense platforms are done being calibrated using data from past week's battles. The morale is at an all-time high.

Kalimera!
I would like to submit a report from today's routine patrol. I was just heading back to Skiros from Omega-55 when my scanners picked up a transport, most likely lost, right in the open space of Omega-55, belonging to the Interspace Commerce corporate. The large transport was heading towards the area where Omicron Gamma jumphole is located and carrying a significantly valuable cargo, so naturally, I offered a help and a safe passage through Omicron Gamma. The crew of the transport hesitated at first but I am sure that at the end, they were satisfied with our services for a reasonable price.
I hope we will keep our territory safe and sound for all traders of Sirius like this.
During my patrol in the Omega-55 system, I've noticed our 'associate', Senor Strange, has built an extension to his space Hacienda. As far as I'm aware that wasn't consulted with our Conclave, so I'm sending over visual recordings
I hope that's just accounting problemo and the situation will be resolved... amicably.
During today's patrol, I have found another modular base constructed within Omegas. This time the location was the middle of the mining field within Omega-48.
It appears to be freshly constructed, and broadcasting a Zoner IFF, despite local ZDF having no idea who exactly put it down.
Before I could inquire further, I got ambushed by a Red Hessian snubcraft wing. I managed to destroy two and heavily damage the third, but my armor finally gave in when I hit a stray mine.
Thankfully the ZDF vessel was kind enough to bring my pod over to Casablanca, where I'll lick my wounds for the time being.

Hola a todos!
My esteemed leaders, our convoy that was headed to Kabukicho base in New Tokyo with a special shipment for Hogosha made it to its destination safely. We had an interruption from the Blood Dragons but we managed to win, including claiming victory over one of their ace pilots!
Sadly we lost a ship but his escape pod was tractored in safely aboard the Santisima. With that little delay, myself and my two remaining escorts made it to Kabukicho base without issues and we were able to deliver the relics safely.
Now we're enjoying some of that acclaimed Kusarian Sake before we are scheduled to return to Planet Knossos.
That'll be all from me!
Christopher out!

Why is the Gallia/Maquis Destroyer so damn sexy? Also when are Maquis gonna stop having the ugliest engines in the game?

Hola!
Marco is BACK from a lil'bit too much fiesta at Pacifica with Unioner hermanos! But all that is bueno needs to come to an end, and so I have reported back on Reincarnation to resume my mining duties. It was a pretty big operation, even for us, and we've managed to load up the station with a LOAD of relics, we would actually top it off if it wasn't for a bastardo Outcast that showed up as we were finishing up! I wanted to help out my hermanos in their transports, but our Mainteinance head, Esteban didn't equip my ship with anything but mining turrets! When the Outcast started firing, due to my uselessness in combat I had to run towards the base, and when that ugly cabron flew by my ship, I started getting some mucha weird readings from my cargo hold, and once I landed, I found this funny, glowing relic within my load, take a look how pretty it is!

Saludos, comandantes.
Strike fighter patrols recently detected an increased amount of activity through the Omicrons, particularly in and out of the Omicron Kappa jump hole in Omicron Gamma. Reports indicate that trading vessels and convoys have been operating in that area. The AEGIS was dispatched to investigate. In the Omicron Kappa system, where the automated ships originate from, the Cruiser was intercepted by one of such artificial intelligence ships. Most notable is, such class of ship is not in our databases. Engineering concluded it is a new type of vessel, and judging by the energetic emissions, it is of bomber class. This ship proceeded to threaten our own, but its imposing presence drove it away. The Cimitarra Company stands by for orders and protocolos to deal with such situations. Attached, Images of the encounter and a transcript.

Kalimera Members of the Cimitarra Company,
Your report has been received.
This is a worrying set of circumstances. Up until now, the only AI vessels we have seen have been the drones and the cruiser-class vessels. My own nephew just recently had an encounter with a non-hostile AI cruiser in Omicron Delta.
The engineers at Tripoli shipyard want more information on this new ship class. High-resolution pictures, ship scans and combat data if applicable. We recommend using stealth and extreme caution. Success will be rewarded.
Remember, the AI are usually not our enemy. Deterrence takes a case-by-case stance regarding the AI due to high variance in their neural networks. Don't go rushing in there guns blazing or insulting them as "Tin Cans", test the waters before you go accidentally sparking a war where one isn't needed.
Ravenna Vult!
P.S. Has anyone seen my latest shipment of Tawny Port from Gallia? It was supposed to arrive last week. 1,000,000sc to the first tempeli who "finds" my 10 cases of Port and delivers it to Crete, with a report as to where you found it and what happened to the freighter carrying it. Award will be adjusted for any missing bottles.
