Good day this is Kiko Saguma. Today I decided to get out there and put my freighter license to use. I was aboard the OSC|Curacao and noticed the need for luxury food to Liner Macnack. Was a quite trip here is my inquary for today.
Good day Alexander Ortez Reporting in. I am proud to announce that the Luxury liner OSC|Maui made today at 10:00 his virgin flight to Cambride! The ship is runing like a dream! We received a a crew of 50 persons it looks like 30 of them already worked on a liner and they started to teach the rookys. Right now the ship is in high orbit of Cambridge and waits for OSC to give a call for the next destination.

After receiving a report of weapon discharges visible from the surface of Planet Curacao I was scrambled to investigate. What I observed was distressing to say the least. A large number of vessels engaging within close proximity of the planet. and nearby trade lanes. Despite this I can report that no OSC assets were engaged and the OSC|Atlantis managed to transverse the system without incident.
However more worrying in light of the recent incident with Mr S.Swift was the presence of two Nomad craft which approached and seemed to take control of a Freelancer named Jeff Harvey. After the Order agent whom was also present engaged the craft I offered assistance. During the ensuing battle I regret to inform you that the Freelancer vessel was destroyed, fortunately so was one of the Nomad craft. However I cannot inform you of the fate of the other as my ship received such heavy damage I was forced to conduct an emergency re-entry and high altitude bailout. I splashed down 104 nautical miles from OSC resort Calm Sands. I was recovered approximately 3 hours after and would like to thank the crew of vessel OSC|Dovorian whom received my emergency beacon signal.
I am relieved to inform you that I'm recovering at Calm Sands having only received minor injuries, however my ship was a complete loss. Ill await medical clearance and then catch a transfer back to base for debriefing.

Attention All OSC| Personnel
We are issuing a Travel Advisory for the following systems, California, and Magellan. This is due to reports of Gallic Navy vessels openly operating and attacking Liberty Navy assets in the before mentioned systems. All Personnel are advised to avoid travel in the entirety of the Magellan system and the southern half of the California system until further notice.
Regards,
James Blackwood
Director of New Business

Good day Director Saguma!
In light if the recent events that transpired in the Magellan and California systems, and the tightened security around Curacao, I , after consulting with head engineers, have decided to upgrade my vessel to be able to perform operations requeres by the new situation.
As for such, I wish to report that my newly fitted Type-XV "Jackdaw" class heavy fighter has passed final checks and is ready for active service. As this vessel is extremely versatille, it can be refitted with anti-large craft weaponry if needed, as it is flying with an anti-snubcraft weaponry.
I also wish to report that Jason Ryback, security officer of the OSC|Searsport has brought a new generational XB-2 "Havoc" class bomber to Curacao , manufactured by Ageira. It is under review, once cleared, Officer Ryback wishes to use for areal patrol for the area around Curacao and the trade lanes of Cortez while his transport is away helping in the resupplying and cleanup of Luxury Liner Mackinac, as Gallic Royal Navy capital ships and large transport vessels have been spotted in the area on multiple occasions. According to service records, he is fully licensed to operate such a vessel, as is pretty much enjoying it.
With respect: Kira Shino
Security Officer

After the dust has settled, I wish to file a last report regarding the relief of Mackinac. According to officials on Cambridge, 250.000 people were transported within a surprisingly short period of time, as for such, we can call the operation a success. The Mackinac is in pretty bad shape now, however the OSC|Gibraltar and OSC|Searsport are continously transporting all the mandatory equipment and commodities to return its former shape.
The OSC|Cyprus is getting a general cleanup as well on Cabridge, some areas need a more drastic disinfection treatment, but we are to be operational within a few days and will return to regular flight orders.
Uploading an attachment to my report from one of the last flights that took the refugees off the Mackinac towards Bretonia, where the OSC|Cyprus was acompanied by the OSC|Maui:
Best regards:
Captain Hiro Sata

Hello,
As usual not much to report, but thought I would touch base with the other pilots to inform them of a nice officer in Kusari space. He goes by the name of Hideaki Honda and on a food supply run to Hawaii he offered me escort through the systems.
Its good to see the police actively aid us. I gave him a small sum of credits to... you know.. say thanks and maybe keep him sweet!
I hope all the pilots of OSC are well
See you around

Good Day Captains , pilots, all OSC staff members , Mr. Pines ,
As you requested, Captain Colton started his investigation on our Luxury , Passenger and Royal Liner fleets , by now, not so rare mechanical failures. However, after examining multiple vessels, he contacted us at R&D , as the problems seemed to be most dissapointing.
It all started with the mechanical problems of the OSC|Falkland ( decomissioned ) , where the engine reactore parts started leaking due to being aftermarket parts, which seems to wear off faster and lose integrity in a much greater pace than expected. Further more, with the aging of the vessels themselves, connectors, non changeable parts became deformed, making the insertation of said aftermarket spare parts difficult and on some occasion, not proper. However, due to the ongoing demand for our vessels to fly, mechanics had little to no other options, but to insert them any way possible.
This caused further problems, such as inefficient generator performance, engine failures and problems in life support systems on multiple ships.
On top of all these, on some vessels, we've found multiple hull cracks , damages of the outer structure, that were repaired , however these methods seem to be temporary only, and are clearly signs appearing due to the overall age of our vessels.
I hereby request every liner captain flying Enterprise , Oasis and Royal class ships to, before each flight, report to any mechanical facility of Orbital Spa and Criuse for safety evaluation. This may cause delays in our scheduel, but is mandatory to ensure the safety of both our passengers and the ships crews.
If requested, a more detailed report can be submitted on this matter.
Best regards:
Andrew Wells , R&D

Dear OSC command and all staff,
On request of Mr Wells I have conducted a full system and exterior survey on the OSC|Ascension which is the newest Enterprise class vessel in our fleet.
There was a report from our maintenance chief that the energy coupling from the powercore to the forward deflector shield generator would on occasion, during subluminal flight, become unaligned. This under testing causes a phasing of the forward shield allowing small physical objects to pass through the shield. This links to reports from passengers located on the bow of hearing small impacts whilst traversing asteroid fields. Though this issue has not affected the performance of the vessel or put her at any risk of structural failure, it is discomforting to passengers and will increase maintenance cost due to the need to increase the surveys to the exterior and undergoing repairs if necessary.
As I’m sure you are all aware the OSC|Ascension was constructed to replace the ageing OSC|Thunderchild which was sent for decommissioning due to the docking incident with the Shrine station and engine failure issues. The final report of this incident found that some components of the cooling system for the docking dampeners reacted differently to the coolant used in these systems. This caused slight changes in the pH of the coolant and slow corrosion on some of the valves, combined with the inefficient heat dissipation of the damper design it lead to its rapid failure. This occurred on the Ascension during the docking procedure and lead to the impact with the station. This seems to be an inherent design fault to the Enterprise class vessel.
As this issue is most likely to occur during high strain situations such as vessel to vessel docking and vessel to station docking it is my recommendation to all captains to monitor interior corrosion of the cooling system and coolant pH levels. I understand this will add to running costs of the vessel and work load for crews.
Alternatively it might be advisory to retrofit a secondary cooling system, though this could have to be designed and implemented by the R&D department.
Regards
Cpt. Daniel T Simpson
