Good Day Ladies and Gents.
After reading the report of Office Banks and Captain McFadden, a convoy was assembled from available vessels, loaded with various food commodities, destined to Planet Creet, Omicron Gamma system as a part of an aid mission for the local civilian population. Regardles of nationality, it is a mission of OSC Humanitarian Aid division to support every system or planet in need. So we did.
Our cargo consisted of :
*Food Rations
*Kyushu Rice
*Synth Paste and Gel
*Tea
The convoy travelledundisturbed untill the edge of Bretonia, where we ran into a Corsair Gunboat, callsign Benediction. At first, they didn't belive our story of running a supply aid convoy to Crete, but as more of us arrived, their minds changed. We were offered to be escorted and guided through the Omegas, all the way to the hearth of the Corsair Empire, Crete. Here I'd like to add that our escort and navigation crew does not have the proper training for routes like these, which should be changed in the near future.
We also got another companion, a freelancer pilot, Hoban Washburn who offered his services, claiming he is also capable of navigating through the Omega systems.
After overtaking multiple obsticles, such as dense asteroid and mine fields, radiation and other difficulties the wilderness had to offer, in more or less one piece, our convoy arrived to Omicron Gamma. It didn't take long untill we got the attention of the locals, members of the organization "The Brotherhood" arrived on site to greet us and make sure our intentions are peaceful. After a bit of diplomatic talks , courtessy of David Chesterton, we were cleared to dock and unload our cargo, which , as Captain McFadden previously described, was welcommed a lot and the locals were kind and friendly beyond my expectations. And their rum is also the best I've ever had!
Once we were done, wehad a little talk with memebrs of "The Brotherhood" and another group called "Corsair Trade Company" , which sounds like a spark of opportunity to be grabbed in the future. Upon returning to Hawaii for our well deserved rest, we took a detour to the nearby Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta, than returned to Sigma-19.
This concludes my retopr, also, I would like to add one more image we took while flying through an absolutely amazing view in the Omegas. It is called a Neutron Star, and despite the incredible amount of radiation it produces, it might serve well for a future resort location, or tour destination.
Best regards:
Captain Matt Ryan

My good Captains and Security Officers,
Allow me to begin by commending you all on your successful mission, it is a rare thing to see an entire convoy disappear beyond Omega 3 and return completely unscathed, even more so when escorted by a single heavy fighter. I had my doubts regarding the Corsairs' plight, my instincts were certain that our convoy would be held to ransom or worse and the entire rumour was nothing more than a trap. I have never been so glad to be proven wrong.
In light of the evidence and the welcoming nature of the Corsair nation I hereby authorise the continuing supply of food to the Planet Crete until such time that it is no longer required. These humanitarian convoys must not be frequent or publicised for the sake of our political safety, in addition all pilots who wish to be part of said convoys must be trained in asteriod field navigation and equip their vessels accordingly to weather the radiation.
Any further suggestions to protect the convoy fleet are welcome.
Again, excellent work.

Good day ladies and Gentlemen!,
Mr. Pines, I would hereby request your permission to undertake an experimental flight with the OSC|Cyprus. During our past flights to Baden Baden and Hawaii, I've talked with some passengers and guests, and it turned out there is an interest for something that can be best described as a "Party Cruise". What I and the crew managers had in mind is to invite DJs and musicians on board the Cyprus and hold multiple parties on multiple decks, with different styles for each, so everyone may find something for their taste. If approved, we would do a few hour long test flight, to see if any difficulties could accure. Our planned route is Cortez - Texas - Colorado - Cortez for now, as it is still in a "safe" area but long enough so that things can evolve. We plan not to use trade lanes, but stay close to them, using regular engines only.
If approved, I would also like to submit the following request for our cargo vessels to aquire the followings:
° 100 units of Rheinbier
° 100 units of Rum
° 100 units of Gin
° 100 untis of Sake
° 100 units of Vodka
° 50 units of Cigars
° 200 units of Luxury Consumer Goods
° 100 units of Tea
° 100 units of Wine
° 100 units of Whisky
Transfer of said cargo must be appointed previously, in order to make things smooth and have everything ready in time.
Thank you for your time
Best regards:
Captain Hiro Sata

To all members of OSC,
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the death of Captain Daniel T. Simpson.
Its indicated from my initial findings that the vessel Ascension suffered a catastrophic reactor failure, forcing Daniel to issue a system wide mayday and proceed with an emergency evacuation. It appears he stayed aboard the Ascension and used the reserve propulsion engines to steer the Ascension into the nearby star rather than allow the reactor to detonate in the systems open space. His actions ensured that the vessels engaged in the recovery of the passenger escape pods were not endangered.
I include in the message my official report:
I was scouting in the Munich system when an automatic distress signal flashed on my HUD, It indicated that the Ascension was experiencing multiple system failures:
---AutoDistressMessage---
Vessel ID: OSC|Ascension
Captain: Daniel T. Simpson
Souls on-board: 144 (134 passengers 10 crew)
Location: Pennsylvania D4
Close proximity vessels: Tyrael (LibertyNavy), Lorleii Darksaint (Unknown)
System Failure: Cruise Engine primary
System Failure: Reactor core containment field
System Failure: Reactor core temperature sensor
System Failure: Weapons management system
System Failure: Shield generator
Syste
The message ended abruptly on my screen so I decided to head for Pennsylvania immediately. As I traveled I contacted the nearby vessels indicated by the automatic message. They reported that they had responded to a mayday call issued by the Ascension and that the passengers and crew had been successfully evacuated to Planet Erie, but the Ascension had been lost.
After arriving in Pennsylvania I confirmed that the passengers were safe and conducted a search of the incident location, all I recovered was a jettisoned data recorder, it was badly damaged but did contain some information 1.2.3..
Sadly there was no sign of Daniel.
I personally thanked Tyrael and Lorleii Darksaint for their bravery during this incident, which ensured the safety of 134 passengers and 9 crew members. I have also managed to contact Daniel's family. An investigation will be required to fully inform them of what caused the incident.

Captain Banks,
The loss of Captain Simpson is a heavy blow to the company and to us all, he was a fine captain who embodied the highest standards of OSC until the very end. He was a brave man who sacrificed all that he was to save the lives of others, his loss diminishes us.
I will personally see to it that his name is immortalised along side the other honoured souls who gave their lives in the line of duty.
Our thoughts go to out to his family.

Director Saguma reporting in. After a very exciting...and very radiated mission yesterday Jorge and I decided to begin our return trip back to Bretonian house space. Everything went well but we saw an amazing site, a massive graveyard of Corsair and Hessian fighter's. At first I just planned on passing through but something urged me to check out those crash sites. After inspecting one vessel we discovered some Corsair weaponry. We both arrived to Bretonia safely, the real reson behind this report is if the R&D are interested in this weaponry for research purposes. I will hold on to the weaponry until instructed on what to do with them.
Signed,
Kiko Saguma

Director Saguma,
Moving Corsair weaponry through Bretonia space is an extremely risky business and one that could sour relations with the Crown should the weapons be discovered. If you feel that Jorge and yourself can return to Curacao without alerting the authorities then you have my permission however the ultimate decision will rest with Mr Wells.
I would advise a visit to a decon clinic as soon as possible.

The return trip to Bretonia Space from Omega-41 went smoothly until we reached Planet New London! Where an incident occurred which nearly cost me my life, my report of the event is as follows:
Building on Director Saguma’s repost I would like to add that we detected two Coalition vessels which were busy engaging a Corsair vessel, however they posed no threat as we passed at maximum short range scanner range. As Director Saguma mentioned we found a graveyard of Corsair and Hessian fighter's and I managed to collect a Corsair weapon from the site which I was stored in my cargo hold. All was well until we entered orbit around Planet New London, at this point my vessels internal sensors detected a strange energy signal being emitted from the weapon. Suddenly a large blast shuddered my ship, my HUD suddenly flashed with multiple system failures and there was the distinct sound of air rushing out of my pressurized cockpit. I was forced to conduct an emergency landing due to a rapidly over heating engine.
I landed safely and have since had time to investigate the damage, it appears the weapon had been charging during transit and had reached discharge level when we arrived in orbit, hence my internal sensors had not detected the issue earlier. Once this energy level had been achieved the weapon fired, rupturing a number of systems including the engine cooling system. I have organized the ship to be repaired at Southampton shipyard and it will be ready shortly.
I would therefore like to inform the rest of OSC of the dangers of these weapons and that they should be handled with extreme caution.
Signed,
Jorge Raymond

Good Day Mr. Pines , Captains , Pilots!
After the previous report made by our humanitarian aid convoy to Crete , and after consulting with Mr. Pines, R&D department decided it is possible and necessary to conduct a survey of the astonishing Omega-41 system. The survey team consisted of the Wandering Elegance and fighterclass escort vessels, piloted by David Chesterton, Jorge Raymond, Karen Banks, and Robert Gale.
Later on, Security Director Saguma also joined the mission. Our flight took us through Bretonia and the mapped Omega systems. From Omega 3 , we relied on the information give by Cambridge Research Institute. Following those, we managed to steer around in the deep Omegas all the way to our destination. Here I must add, in case Orbital Spa and Cruise wishes to deploy an operation, careful planning must be made regarding flight paths, as the area is vastly covered by asteroid fields which make flying difficult, while minefields deployedby both Hessian and Corsair forces in the area make things dangerous.
Upon arriving to Omega-41, he first thing that alerted us was the outrageous amount of radiation. Later on it became clear that its source is the so called Neutron Star, a sun that instead of turning into asupernova, collapsed into itself, causeing pulsing radiation waves to enrupt on a continuous basis. If that wasn't enough, the deadly mixture of mines planted inside asteroid fields os also a common thing. We have managed to deploy sensors at two locations, where neither mines or asteroids are a source of danger.
* Area #1 : Secort C 5 - 6
The area is on the edge of a possibly Corsair planted mine field, also Leon Base is located nearby. This brings up security related issues, even though our current relation is positive with the Corsair nation, however, it is beter safe than sorry.
* Area #2 : Sector D 2 - 3 , E 2 -3
On the oposite side of the Neutron Star, close to a Zonner built station, Freeport 5. The station is small, carved into a huge planetiod. That is most probably he only effective way of sustaining a station in such radiation. Another Corsair minefield is cuting this area off from further examining, while also cuts possible exits from the system. As of now, we only know one way of going in and out from this area, through the jumphole leading to Omega-5 warzones.
As a conclusion, I am certain that in case we desire to maintain a stationary liner in the area, the issue of radiation must be dealt with, in order to make it possible for longer than a month or two at best, without having to constantly supply said liner with repair equipment, which could turn the entire venture into a money sink, holding no profitability.
Once we concluded our flight, we moved further into the Edge Worlds, however, since we found ourselves in Corsair territory and didn't ask for premission previously for any operations in their systems, we decided to call our flight off and return home... ehm .. without any further difficulties.
Best regards:
Andrew Wells
Head of R&D
