Hermanas and hermanos,
As hermano Sephardi made it clear to the TT, I've taken care of the independent that was involved in that horrible act.
You see, I bound him to a chair on the landing pad in Crete and aimed my Titan's salamancas on his shivering cohones.
He declared he had made a terrible mistake and begged forgiveness.
I forgave him, but I will never forget his act.
But any Corsair who makes a mistake of those proportions again, I will personally tie him to my Titan in a VAC suit and fly it through a jumphole... His relatives may then wash the blood from my hull.

This is Sven. Commanding officer of the [V] Forces you have seen in and around Gamma and Omegas recently. I am here to extend a hand in friendship, and continued furthering of the proserity of Crete, and Corsairs as a whole.
I have to be frank. I am not born of a family of Crete. I was born far from hee, and many lives it seems has brought me and my men to Srius. Much like the ancestors of your glorious Crete, I have been cast out and left to drift. Sabotaged time after time. Yet I continue, and we forge forward and have become strong. It has been a long journey and struggle against authority that we didn't recognize, and therefore could not respect. I am a man of action. I prefer to let my actions speak for me.
Earlier while doing some weapons testing and eventual changing Gamma was invaded by one Teknikal. A Rogue GB with Outcast tag and ID. My Talarca, Foce Ex; SpaceBandito (hope I got that right), and my comrades Cruiser, a Hessian made vessel; engaged and destroyed this gunboat. his invasion was launched from Omega 41. His escape pod was recovered and scurried off by a lucky bounty hunter. It's said he was sold to the Hesians and was seen in 41 again later.
I understand your brothers don't like to see such eyesores as our cruisers. They are unfortuneately the ones we have for now. We are not rich men, nor poor, either. The aquisision of both Cruisers was planned and executed with precision as to keep risk low. We were under manned and ill equipped. We took what was available. I serves us well each of them. And the Helmsman ofthe Hawq, is a Corsair pilot that has left the planet to make money and send hiome to take care of his faminly. For this reason when his ship is seen it is for family visits between deep space recovery and retrieval contracts. These are quite often dangerous, hence the large ship. But they work out for us and we will upgrade as the funds are available. I have made a deal with Zners in FP11 to keep my bombers there. I have also to show good faith begun the retrofitting and replacement of all bombers to Taiidan bombers. My bomber squad is split. I fly a contracted Zoner ship. My friend flies his Falcatta till he can afford to upgrade as well.
We also work for a weapon dealer out of Freeport 9, Jasper. His wares are exotic and domestic, your choice. Delivered in prime condition. Feel free to cntact myself for such wares. Good day and Prosperity to all your houses.

Brothers,
our wing was doing a patrol in Eta when we spotted a large group of Outcast fighters. We called for backups and engaged. I was happy to see that brothers from the Benitez Familia responded to our distress call and came to help. It was a great and well-balanced fight, each sides lost a few good pilots but we were of course the better ones, that I am sure of.
Luckily for them, an ion-storm came and cut out our comm systems and we all had to retreat into Theta, having to locate the jump hole by heart.
Don Carlos' Titan had both of its wings destroyed and he ejected and got tractored by me with his co-pilot as well. I ensured that the Outcast scum doesn't find anything valuable by destroying the rest of the poor Titan and brought them both safely to Crete.
We should be more careful next time, as these Outcasts had shown us quite good fighting as well as good coordination. If I am not mistaken, they operated in 2 separate groups while we were using the good old 'all-on-one' tactics. Can't really tell which one was better though.
Teresa out.
If I die, I forgive you, father. If I live we shall see.....Teresa Chavez

The Outcast scourge is growing, and it seems that they have finally decided to throw their weight around in a pitched battle in space. Titan versus Sabre, like for like, the victor will be the most skillful, the victor will be the Corsairs!
The duel, the skirmish, the battle, the slaughter and the war; they will all be ours! We will be victorious!
Only one thing stands in the way of our total domination of the Omicrons and the extinction of the Outcasts. That one thing, is our organisational skills. It must be said, we all like the fight much more than the paperwork before hand or afterwards, but it must be done.
Therefore, I ask you hermano's make yourself known in the Brotherhood Rolecall procedure process, if you haven't done so already, to ensure you aren't considered a missing or dead pilot. We need all the hermano's as one entity to defeat our enemies, we need you to confirm you exist, for the good of the Corsair nation, and for the Brotherhood!
Brothers, this day was indeed a victorious one! When I undocked from Freeport 9 Brother Banderas contaced me about him and Elder Montoya going into Sigma-13 for a raid. Well, after we got there we spotted 3 Bounty Hunter capital ships, one commanded by Captain Igot Smellyfeet, one was the Harvester of Sorrow and a third one I can't remember it's name. We engaged the Bounty Hunter Battlecruiser first which was commanded by Smellyfeet. The Harvester of Sorrow tried to protect the Battlecruiser, but the third Battleship disappeared...
Anyway, though we were underarmed (A battlecruiser and a battleship against A Titan, a Praetorian and a Tiger Shark) we were able to damage Smellyfeet's battlecruiser seriously, which was finally destroyed in the Chugoku System. Of course several Blood Dragon ships were spotted in Chugoku. At first we ignored the ships there and jumped back to Sigma-13, where a Red Hessin Cruiser was spotted. We chased it until it jumped to New Berlin. So we turned our attention back into Chugoku where we engaged the Blood Dragon ships. We quickly realized that we were outnumbered so we called in reinforcements. Brother Or and Matei as well as Elder Costello came to help.
At the end we were able to disable most of the Blood Dragon enemies except 3 who fled. Brother Or lost his Titan, but we will give him a new one fresh out of Tripoli.

Greetings
Today in Omicron Delta I spotted 2 Bounty Hunter Battlecruisers names HR=TIGAR=Cro and X=KILLeR=X.
They flew past me and diddnt engage for some odd reason so I went to Minor and managed to contact Sicarii[TBH] on long range frequency who was in Gamma along with his comrades. Also [V]Force_Ex[V] helped who was in Delta already. We managed to scamble a force oif 5 ships. 1 Bomber, 1 fighter,1 gunboat and 2 cruisers. We grouped at Yaren base and engaged. Suprisingly we lost no ships and downed the 2 BCs fairly easily. The corridinated raid is a example of Corsair and Order communication skills as well as power in numbers.
So congrats to all who participated
Elders I apologize that Captian Harpers report has reached you before mine. I should have been a little more puncual with my reports. The 3 Brothers involved in this we myself, brother Bandares, and Brother Ingenioso. Captian Harpers contacted me to ask for assistance, and our coordinated attack resulted in 2 BH Battlecruisers destroyed with no freindly causlties. A good night.
After dismantling the BHG, Banderas and I proceeded to fully incur on Rheinland space with [V] help, placing planet NB under siege. We were wrested by several Rheinland battleships (ooc note: npcs) who prevented us from establishing a more permanent foothold in the area.
A Hessian capital ship flying the name of Varyag was also... neutralized during our stay.
As things were pretty quite tonight in Gamma, Bandaras and I decided to move to Eta.
By the time we got to Eta, the ships we were looking for had left, we countinued to Alpha to look for some trouble:$. Apon arrival we were quickly met by an outcast in a Rheinland Cruiser (I know:rtfm:) . This Solarus.Black was no match for Bandaras and I in our Bombers. I laid cover and provided a target for the Outcast, while Banderas went to town on his armour. He was quickly dispatched.
We then Procced to Malta, where 2 ships with Outcast ID's and Kusari ships, and the tag [TF] were located. The ships were identified as [TF]Clotho and [TF]Lachesis and were both cruiser class ships. We made quick work of the two with Banderas taking out the Lachesis and the Clotho was taken out by myself. (finaly get to mark that first kill on my Bomber)
Brothers this was another fine night for The Brotherhood. Final count for the night, 3 Outcast Cruisers destroyed. No Freindly casulties. The Outcast have definatly be taking the worst of our recent battles.

Good work both of you! You two are the model of teamwork and brotherhood that we all strive for. Also I would like to congratulate you both on using the Praetorian. Not many brothers or sisters are willing to use it and I myself admit to falling back on my Titan most times. If we take out the Outcast's capital ships quickly they will have no choice but to face us in fighter combat.
As you have probably noticed, I'm hold up secretly in a Junker base in Bretonia. My new ship loadout is still in it's testing stages so I've lined up Mollies to shoot at. I'm also inspecting the Centurion patrols in this area, as they have been reported to be lacking as of late. We don't have very many allies in this region, but hopefully things will improve with time.
One more thing. Check in with Pedro in the Boozer's Lounge, he's got some cider straight from Islay that I've secured for the both of you. It's on me.
Juan out.

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
