My report today is from the Islay Base in Edingburgh. Yes the Gaian Base just for refueling and heading back to the Gamma.
I patroled in Leeds from Camebridge Hole to the Edingburgh-Planet Lane and found a Destroyer and a Bomber.
The Bomber Pilot was stupid and his aiming sucks. He couldnt hit my Cruiser. But the Destroyer was heavily armored, I tried some fast strike but the Destroyer took not much damage.
But I got the Bomber with Light Mortars. I said he is bad. I could not take out the Destroyer. He was too strong.
Too much armor for my Cruiser.
Just a simple task and simple reminder. If you are looking for death we can help you to die. No need for ropes, pills, guns, just ask or annoy us. This gringo was searching for one between the asteroids of our omega-5 sort of. So how can I refuse such a desperete scream for aid?
Hola. Several minutes ago I encountered a Liberty Police Transport being Escorted by a Zoner Cruiser (Image). I instructed the Zoner to pay me One and a Half Million Credits or I'd destroy the transport. Honestly, I was hoping for the Zoner to reject my offer and to try to attack me, I'd of enjoyed destroying the transport. Luckily for the transport, the Zoner paid (Image). Having successfully acquired the ransom, I proceeded back to Cadiz and wired the 10% to the loot share (Image).
Hola. Myself and Vito* decided to go to Omicron Theta to see if we can scare a Zoner. We found a Zoner Cruiser by the name of The New Torch. It was the one I'd robbed not too long ago. We broke and attacked it until we damaged it's hull quite a bit. We then proceeded to let it go as a warning to other Zoners, never to bring Gringos to Corsair Territory**. We then proceeded to find another Zoner that wanted to be a smart ass. He went by the name of Swordman and kept babbling about getting some Sun-bucks Coffee. Me and Vito got tired of him and decided to charge him to stay in Corsair Territory*. He seemed to be complying when he began to attack me. He had zero luck with me, so he switched targets to Vito. Somehow, the lucky son of a gun managed to land a hit on Vito, downing him. I tractored Vito's pod and proceeded to avenge him*.
Phew Hola.
How I can begin now? Yes first with a Crazy Outcast Dreadnought. We hunted the Dread over the whole Eta Sector. Right, we tried many times to disrupt the ship but nothing is happen. Doesn't matter from which distance.
Finaly we got the Dread after 20 or 30 Minutes and killed this ship with three Bombers and my Cruiser.
Buenos dias my hermanos. That was came to me a while ago, and i need to step back from my position of your Bucaneer, my family on Crete needs my attention and i'll be leaving soon with the first transports to Omicron Gamma. I hope the business on Crete will be solved soon and i'll get back as fast as possible. But now, i hope i don't have to say "Adios", i'll say - see you soon.
Also, Leon is now operating without me, i strongly recommend to send a trustful member of our great brotherhood to keep an eye on things around.
Viva los Corsairs, Viva los Black Sails!

After we finished our work in Dublin we head on our way to Omega 5, where we encountered a SCRA vessel. He was insulted and attacked by our brave warriors. After he got some back up we regrouped and hit them hard. Two of our vessels were damaged, but not destroyed. They managed to come to safety for repairs. The SCRA had to retread in the end cause of our might. For the Empire !
Ellias Fernandes De La Rosa my amigo, say hello to your sister for me *smiles*.
I woke up today knowing I have to get to Yanagi Depot, in the Sigma 13 system. Having been there so many times, the trip itself was not a problem, but what do you think I found just before landing? An outcast !
Si, amigos, a dirty sniffer trying to feed in our hunting grounds. It seems the cardamine also affects memory, because the fool forgot who we are and thought he can play in our space. Of course, his ship was destroyed and I left his pod drifting towards the gas pockets. There is little chance he will make it out alive, but if he does his story will be a warning for the others of his kind - or whoever else finds him
Tired not because of the fight, but the long trip, I headed for Yanagi when I stumbled upon a miner.
When I asked him to pay me 5.000.000 credits he declined and tried to run, but there was no way I could allow him to get away with a cargo bay full of silver ore.
After a chase that took me on the other side of the system I stopped him. As expected I added something for my efforts to the initial demand and eventually he had no choice but to pay me
After that I was finally able to land and enjoy a bottle of Cadiz's finest rum before getting some well deserved sleep. I can't wait to see more of you here because it seems we need to remind the gringos around here this is our feeding ground.
Para el Imperio, hasta la muerte!

I gotta tell you, those junkers really know how to live in style. Their accommodations exceeded my expectations and after a very good sleep I went hunting in the Frankfurt system. It was not long before the first victim of the day came along. A poor, lonely, independent miner with a cargo full of niobium ore
Because he was nice and did not try to run or call the police I only asked him for 4.000.000 credits and he was quick to comply.
Then came a nice pair: a miner and a Colossus Class train, both full of silver. They tried to make a run for it so I had to make a choice. Of course I chose the train and soon after we was transferring me 5.000.000 credits.
After a while an IMG Titanic Class tanker full of silver ore came along.
Although my first intention was to destroy his ship and make some img pastrami out of it's crew 7.500.000 credits convinced me to let them live
Soon after that two hermanos joined me. Ellias Fernandes De La Rosa took his brand new Titan - with the Black Sails transponder not installed yet - on a test run and joined me. Rodrigo Alavera also came in one of the Mamoru Class bombers.
As they were entering the Frankfurt system I found myself face to face with a Space Casino. Si, hermanos, a Casino. Because of the high numbers of so-called VIP's on board the Manager was more than happy to pay 3.000.000 credits and take his ship and costumers out of there
Right after I shared the loot with my brothers we were interrupted by an IMG Hydra Class gunboat and a Rheinland Military officer who came to help him. Unfortunately, their first shots damaged my gun cams. Right before the IMG gunboat was destroyed the RM officer managed to badly damage Alavera's bomber so he was forced to retreat. After the gunboat was no more we were able to concentrate on the rheinlander. That is also about the time when El Desafiante showed up. As expected, we tried to keep the fight honorable and he did not interfere not even when my ship lost a wing, along with 2 guns, forcing me fire my cruise engines and just circle around the battle that Ellias Fernandes turned into a duel. Eventually more RM's came to hunt us so we were forced to finish the job and got out of there.
I made it back to Tripoli safe, but my ship was in need of heavy repairs so I decided not to waste any time and bought a brand new Titan. The old one took good care of me, but the constant fighting left some marks on it. I already did a test run with the new one and it feels great. Once the engineers finish fine-tuning the ship I will head to Cadiz to get the Black Sails transponder installed and get back to work

ID: Rodrigo Alavera Hola, amigos. It's nice to have something intresting to report again. After finding a gold vein called "Frankfurt" I took one of our special bombers Sails.Hambre for credit hunt. So jumped a few systems and placed my guns on one of the tradelanes.
First pigeon. Heh paid 2 500 000 and I left him alone. 1/10 reached the sails bank of course. Now second "Pigeon" was entire boar. A convoy of heavy tanker and conteiner transport acompanied by few escorts including IMG "Hydra".. unfortunatly I haven't managed to take out none of the transports, but it doesn't mean I left them unharmed. I can bite:
The escorts also had a local support of Rheinland Military vessel which was shot down too:
The remaining Nyx continued to fight, actually just dragging time... Soon more of rheinland local forces came. Here I didn't wanted to take the risk and engaged in cruisse speed and whit a smile on my face went back to edge worlds.
