Design date: October 2nd, 822 A.S.
Designer: Michael Glass
Composition: Titanium-Carbon Polymer
Purpose: Front-Line Combat
The A-1 Heavy Battle Armor was designed to be the next step in the MWS (Modular Warfare System). Utilizing a reinforced MWS frame, hermetically sealed G suit, FS optics, standard nano-tech scrubber/air bladder build internally instead of externally, the suit was intended as a superior variant of the C-1 Combat Armor, the base of the MWS. A significantly more powerful exoskeleton, complemented with micro thrusters for added mobility, the suit is significantly larger than its predecessor. The built-in Combat assistant AI (optional) and modified frame required the wearer to receive extensive bodily augmentation and implantation. This process added reinforcement points to the users skeletal structure, as well as direct interface implants for HUD visualization. The first fifteen to undergo this process had nearly all succeeded, barring an incident with one particular subject. Report added below. Unfortunately, as of April fourth, all subjects are deceased. Further work of this variant is on hold.
Armament included the Type-40 Particle Accelerator Rifle, which uses a magnetic rail accelerator to rapidly fire a titanium-gold charged particle projectile at high velocity. The rifle is composed of a carbon alloy to allow for easy mobility and less carrying strain on the user. Standard magazine size of forty (40) rounds with an easy reload design. Easily disassembled for maintenance access. RPM (Rounds per minute) is upwards of fifteen-hundred (1500).
The round is modified with a small particle generator, creating a charged field upon firing, surrounding the projectile with an energy field, generating significant amounts of heat, causing significant burn trauma to the target. The heat of the projectile is also capable of penetrating and melting light cover.
Estimated cost/unit: 650,000 SC
[INCIDENT REPORT NO. 037 - MONTGOMERY, IVAN AGE 29]
"Surgical process undergone at 0600 Hours, November 20th. At 0730, subject awoke post general anesthetic injection and panicked. Attempted removal of automated surgical equipment. Subject was subdued and given second injection of Midazolam. Attempted correction, then removal of augments and implants. Attempts unsuccessful. Predicted implant complications within five days."

The C-1 Combat Armor is the first in a steadily growing line of combat armor variants. The very first suit designed, the C-1 is the foundation for all variants of the Modular Warfare system. Composed of a light titanium polymers, complemented with ballistic ceramic plating, and a Kevlar mesh suit. Flexible, yet durable, the C-1 excels in all aspects of combat and infiltration. Being a modular template, the suit is easy to modify for any field. Three primary head/helmet modifications to suit any and all needs, be it comfort, or effectiveness. Provided with a standard powered exoskeleton, as well as external nano-tech air scrubber/bladder, the C-1 is also amphibious, with an added re-breather unit. Wrist-mounted combat PDA/Console, for armor control and communications. Standard C-1-C Helmet includes IR Cameras, for thermal projection and identification.
Standard armament is the concealed M2 SOPMOD Sub-Machine gun which fires a super-heated tungsten AP round at high velocity via magnetic accelerator within the barrel structure, or Type-31 Particle Rifle, which utilizes a lower caliber than the Type-40. Additionally, concussion grenades are also commonly supplied. One of the more common modifications C-1 users like to add to their armor, is the SP-2 Chameleon Unit. The C-1 is the choice armor for anyone looking to be comfortable, protected, and lethal.
The S-1 is the most recent development on the MWS. Designed specifically to be used by one individual, the S-1 uses the SP-2 Chameleon mod to further compliment it's mobility and light frame. The S-1 exoskeleton was modified to function more efficiently with leg bionics, thus making it one of the ideal suit for its creator. Hermetically sealed G Suit with helmet mounted IR cams, standard nano-tech scrubber/bladder with toxin filters, built off of the standard C-1, thus giving the suit amphibious capabilities with a re-breather unit. The SP-2 paint coating for color modifying, this suit is also complemented with a special kind of cloak, made of a metallic fabric, allowing it to be painted with the SP-2 coating, giving it color changing capabilities with the rest of the suit, allowing it to effectively 'blend' with it's surroundings.
The NTR-2 is a 25mm Long Rifle, with a 12x magnification Thermal sight, Direct uplink Targeting, folding bipod and added carrying handles for easy mobility. A powerful rifle, capable for anti-vehicle purposes, the barrel collapses inwards, to adjust for close quarters. Semi-Automatic with an 8-round Magazine. The rifle is composed of lightweight materials, allowing for easy mobility. It's fired projectile is a twenty-five millimeter (25mm) High Explosive Armor Piercing (HEAP) round. See image below. Cost: Only one S-1 currently exists.
Design date: December 19th, 822 A.S
Designer: MIchael Glass
Composition: NxRA/DERA
Purpose: Support Vehicle
The MBA-2 is the next step up from the now obsolete MBA-1. Specifically created to provide the armored and mobility edge over standard ground forces, the MBA-2 employs an Integrated flight system, with the option of manual, over strict manual flight control of it's predecessor, plus additional thrusters for stability and control in Zero-G environments. The MBA-2 is also able to be entirely automated through AI/VI/Remote control. Armed with utility arms for field repairs of larger vehicles/spacecraft, including flood lights for dark areas and on the field repairs. Armaments include a shoulder-mounted Anti-Material rifle, 1x 20mm/8mm automatic gun pod, 3x RPMS (Rocket Propelled Munitions System). The hull is consisting of a reinforced Titanium-Alloy, supplemented with Non-explosive Reactive Armor, combined with Direct Energy Reactive Plating, dispersing energy projectiles in case of shield failure.
The AMU was designed by a Rheinland engineer, as an improved mobile assault vehicle for the Military. The design, once completed, was intercepted by Augustin Pierce. Built off of the foundation of 90-ARKM-N45 "Wraith" Fighter. Either manned by a two-person crew, or automated by a VI/AI, the AMU is capable of orbital drop deployment in to an active combat zone. Able to isolate targets with dual-mounted particle cannons, and Firestalker/Cannonball pods. Reactive Armor plating on all sides to alleviate explosive damage. A unique vehicle, only four are in existence, as production was halted after the loss of Navarro.
Design date: January 3rd, 823 A.S
Designer: Michael Glass
Composition: Steel/Paramagnetic paint
Purpose: Color modification/blending
The SP-2 uses electroluminescence to send electrical charges through a specific coating of paint, allowing it to effectively change the color of almost any object or material. The device its self is often added internally of the C-1 armor variant, and was the prime motivation for the S-1. Connecting directly with the MWS Console, users control the device via the wrist-mounted PDA, with other suit functions. This device has proven useful for infiltration and concealing users from prying eyes, but does not render the user totally invisible, thus thermal imaging can still identify whomever might be using it. It's predecessor, the SP-1, was given a timer to prevent heat damage to the device. Now, with an added cycled coolant system and heat sync, the SP-2 can remain active for over twenty hours, before the cooling fail safe is triggered. The device is powered by a miniature particle reactor, generating it's own energy, rather than relying on the MWS Power System. This allows the suit to retain full functionality without complications, while retaining full SP-2 chameleon abilities.
HLX-7 was designed by the Legion splinter group known as Task Force Gladius for use on civilians within Liberty, with the intent of causing mass hysteria and genocide. Consisting of a wide combination of Tetrodotoxin (TTX), Chlorotoxin (Cltx), Caramboxin (CBX), and Bloomed Cyanobacteria, HLX-7 is an extremely fatal toxin in a gas or liquid state. Quickly overwhelming the senses with paresthesia, muscle numbing/weakness, nausea, reduced neural communication, subsequent loss of motor and sensory function, paralysis via ion channel disruption, ischemia, peripheral and central nervous system failure, seizure and cardiac arrest. HLX was used on Bretonian war refugees who were used to test its potency, at a hidden facility which was destroyed during the collapse of Gladius. All containers and research were recovered by Alan Stacker. No further testing has been done or is planned. Extreme caution and safety equipment is required before handling HLX-7 Canisters.

Biography, Written by Archivist Michael Glass:
Author comments: Alan Stacker needs a psych evaluation to be added to his medical file. Suspected of mental difficulties due to depression.
Fleet Captain Alan Stacker was born and raised into a well off family. His father was a very successful independent contractor for the Bounty Hunters Guild, before his untimely death at the hands of the Liberty Rogues, shortly after Alan graduated from college, with a Bachelors in Business. Stacker, frustrated with the pace of the investigation the Liberty Police were conducting, Stacker met with his classmate Desmond Noble, who encouraged and aided Stacker into taking matters into his own hands.
Afterwards, Desmond convinced Alan to join the Hellfire Legion, and as they climbed the ranks, Desmond was given command of a Task Force, in which he named Alan Stacker head of Logistics, and an aid to R&D. This is where it gets interesting. Desmond came to Stacker looking for an edge over Liberty. A means of showing the Republic that they meant business. Desmond Noble, and Sterling Metford, Gladius' head of R&D, came up with a bio weapon, dubbed HLX-7. A neurotoxin that overpowers the nervous system and induces cardiac arrest. In order to test their latest creation, Desmond devised a plan to use War Refugees from Bretonia as live test subjects. As head of Logistics, Alan coordinated the extraction from Leeds.
Weeks into testing, the Uprising happened. A smaller force, under orders of Fleet Commander Harland Voss, attacked the research section of Point Exodus Orbital Colony, killing Desmond Noble, and extracting thousands of refugees. The facility was destroyed, but not before Alan and the Remnants who remained loyal to Noble fled to a backup facility, with several hundred refugees in tow. It was there he met Augustin Pierce, and was recruited in to the Initiative.

Biography, Written by Archivist Michael Glass:
Author comments: Joshua Hunt is a ghost, and has been one for a very, very long time. It took weeks of searching old files, abandoned databases and questioning vagrants from Liberty to Theta, before I managed to get a fraction of the full story, but this is what I found.
Joshua Hunt graduated Denver University with a Masters Degree in Engineering, prior to enlisting with the Liberty Navy. He received Officers training at the West Point Military Academy, under Colonel Douglas Kovic. He graduated at the top of his class, and was in service to the Republic on board the Monument-Class Dreadnought Forward Unto Dawn, an older vessel commanded by Travis Harkavey, who remains in service to this day.
From there, up until over half a decade ago, Commander Joshua Hunt had successfully undergone combat against Rheinland, and fought alongside First Fleet Admiral Jack Malrone, in an Avenger Fighter craft. However, this is where his career ended. When the Dreadnought, called "The Dawn" by surviving crew members, was ordered to Colorado to reinforce Admiral Malrone, it was attacked, by the Hellfire Legion Arbiter-Class Battleship Libertine, in which its commanding officer, Harkavey, was incapacitated, and Commander Hunt took control. Unfortunately the Monument-Class was locked at full speed, due to a catastrophic engine malfunction, and from there, the evacuation was sounded. Commander Hunt, one eighth of the vessels crew, and an unidentified Engineer, did not escape.
From there, it was discovered, Joshua Hunt had survived the blast, and joined the Hellfire Legion, under Lord Commander Dane Kinnaird. During his time he confronted Admiral Jack Malrone for the deaths of his comrades, in which a fight broke out in California. Later in his service, Lieutenant Joshua Hunt was declared Missing in Action, after the Battle of Humboldt. He was never located. His former associates, still believe him to be dead, or, in the case of Engineer Flowers, are too unstable for a clear explanation. However unlikely, Hunt has reappeared many times, until he began this work in Eight-Twenty. Hunt is rumored to have designed one of the most powerful weapons known to the Sirius sector in Eight-Twenty-One, though following his disappearance near the closing of the year, it is unknown if such a thing exists. All records of the project appear to have recently been deleted.

Author comments: Kanade Tachibana boasts a strong distaste for the Maltese and Slave industry.
Tachi was born to a small farmers family on Kyushu, which was suffering from the growth of Synth Foods. Due to that, she lived a majority of her youth in poverty. Her mother had left when she was only three years old, leaving her father as her sole known guardian. At age four, her father sold her in to slavery to pay for a ticket off-world. She spent eleven years of her life as a slave on board a liner, serving drinks and cleaning up after the crew. One night, she escaped the cage, due to the guard falling unconscious from inebriation and neglecting to lock the door. She slipped through the Pilgrim to the hangar, stealing a Sabre, which was registered as a pirate vessel in most houses. She managed to escape to a Junker station in Rheinland, where her papers were cleared. By eighteen, she had made it to Liberty, working part-time after her Sabre was impounded at a local supermarket on Los Angeles.
By twenty, she met Daniel Ganes, an up and coming LPI officer who recommended her to West Point for training, earning a temp-contract in the LPI. Eventually, she was recommended to a full contract by Patricia Lyons. A few months in, Kanade had become unsatisfied with how the Liberty Police handled their jobs. Fed up, yet afraid to violate her contract, Kanade reached out to Joshua Hunt, a friend she had made on her second day. Hunt agreed to help her escape, orchestrating a 'kidnapping' using the freelancer Cody Faulker as jail cover. Kanade joined the Initiative, shortly after the death of Ivan Montgomery.

Author comments: I have nothing nice to say about the Colonel.
Colonel Douglas Kovic is a decorated veteran of the Liberty Navy. Serving from the age of eighteen to the age of seventy-six, Kovic had undergone more operations than most, and lived to tell the tale. A notable fighter pilot during the Rheinland-Liberty war, Douglas also specialized in Marine coordination and ground combat. On top of his many Purple Heart medals, he was a notable strategist for covert operations, often being involved in them himself. A particular mission, in Seven-Ninety-One, where Kovic and a team of five Marines were sent to Omicron Alpha to rescue a specific individual who was forced in to Slavery, Kovic stayed behind to cover his team as they escaped with the person of interest. He said his last words to the four were "I'll bring you back an ear and a couple of teeth". Three months and no contact, Kovic was presumed captured, with the Liberty Navy not willing to divert resources to a rescue operation. Six hours later, a Dromedary crash landed on the outskirts of Houston, where a semi-conscious Colonel Kovic was located, carrying a handful of human teeth, and a severed ear. He collapsed in front of the officers who went to investigate, and was in a hospital bed for three hours, before attempting to get up and move again.
Despite severe physical damage and the wear of age, Douglas remains in peak physical condition, and coordinates the Initiative's ground forces, using his Naval experience, as well as teaching experience, from the West Point Military academy. Colonel Kovic removed his own right ear in front of a set of recruits, and demanded they all listen to his words. He is deemed unstable, but effective. He continues to serve as head of field operations within the Initiative, with no sign of retirement in his future.

Creed Savitz was born on Freeport 9, his father working for station security, Creed followed in his footsteps. In his younger years, Creed had shown quick reflexes and rather clear thinking. He spent almost thirty years of his live working on that station, kicking off Corsairs and the occasional drunk. Level headed, Creed met Joshua Hunt in 821 A.S, when Hunt had left the care of the Corsairs. It was Creed who brought Hunt to a back room card game, where Hunt had won his Oasis-Liner. Never quite becoming friends, Creed was cautious when Hunt had called him about a job offer, while their fleet idled in Theta. Growing ever so sick of the Freeport Security lifestyle, Creed sought adventure, and had found it among the Initiative's fleet.

Author comments: Malcolm is not one I am very familiar with, yet I have managed to discern his origins.
Malcolm Simmons is a rather straightforward person, as I understand it. He's dedicated, loyal, cunning and intelligent, not to mention experienced. Simmons originated from a group known as the Neo-Terran Front, which he references several times when stating an opinion or referencing his past. This has lead me to believe that he and Joshua Hunt had met before, during Hunt's time in the Legion. Both have spoken of the times around Kansas and Yukon, and have mentioned a vessel known as the Belisarius. Malcolm's full origins remain a mystery thus far.
For reference, here is what the Neural Net has on the Neo-Terran Front.
"The Neo-Terran Front is a radicalized, unlawful offshoot of the LSF dedicated to building at least one ship (more if possible) capable of escaping Sirius altogether and building a utopian civilization at their destination."

Author comments: Myself. What should I comment?
I was born to an anonymous mother, who saw fit to abandon me to the locals of the Freeport, noticing that upon birth, I had suffered severe bone fractures. It was later discovered that I was born with a genetic condition known as Osteogenisis Imperfecta Type One. Ironically, being without a surname, and my condition rendering my skeletal structure as such, I took the name Glass. I have spent a third of my life in hospital beds, reading and learning, as I was unable to perform physical tasks. I spent that time expanding my mind, and recovering seventy-eight bone breaks. I met Joshua Hunt one day in Omicron Theta, and we became quite good friends. He introduced me to his pet project, which I had at the time, declined to help with. I later accepted the invitation made by one Augustin Pierce, who turned out to be more trouble than he was worth. I have been with the Initiative, and now Auxesia, ever since.

I initiated a patrol from Omega-49 to Omicron Theta with the Eidolon Wraith. Upon arriving in Omicron Theta, I noticed a Samura vessel that had interesting cargo.
[[RESTRICTED FOR HIGH COMMAND]]
Note: I also started to experiment with the mindlink on its cargo, echoing it locally, to test the subject for any type of reaction. Needless to say, it failed, so I continued on with the investigation. [[END NOTE]]
I began to question it and it’s intent with the Artifacts. The pilot claimed that he got the artifacts from a ‘private contractor’ from Freeport-9, mentioning that he wasn’t allowed to speak of the dealer. I queried him as to where it was going to which he mentioned that it was going to Atka Station in Sigma-19. Then I proceeded to ask references from the vessel but he declined to mention any. Thus, I proceeded to force him to drop his cargo, taking some for samples, and then destroyed it.
It may be possible that the Samura are supplying the Corsairs or in some kind of business agreement. Though, that is speculation and further investigation would be required.

[07.04.2016 12:58:35] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: In my eyes - you don't exist, but your cargo does.
[07.04.2016 12:59:19] Samura|-Kensei: The cargo that does completely nothing, okay.
[07.04.2016 12:59:25] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Does it?
[07.04.2016 12:59:41] Samura|-Kensei: The one that you are constantly trying to make me belive does something.
[07.04.2016 12:59:46] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: You seem to be repeating yourself on that point, trying to assure yourself that it does something.
[07.04.2016 12:59:48] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: // does not *
[07.04.2016 12:59:57] Samura|-Kensei: So do you. Constantly repeating.
[07.04.2016 13:00:02] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: No?
[07.04.2016 13:00:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I just said I noted it's existance.
[07.04.2016 13:00:28] Samura|-Kensei: And told me times over that you can hear something.
[07.04.2016 13:00:42] Samura|-Kensei: This ship isn't made of paper.
[07.04.2016 13:00:45] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Anyway. It's relatively known that the Corsairs are the main suppliers.
[07.04.2016 13:00:48] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Ahaha!
[07.04.2016 13:00:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Oh yes it is!
[07.04.2016 13:00:56] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *ahem*
[07.04.2016 13:01:18] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I'm not seeing any kind of reinforcement or proper defence on your vessel.
[07.04.2016 13:01:23] Samura|-Kensei: Apparently you have sharp ears.
[07.04.2016 13:01:39] Samura|-Kensei: No defenses, yap
[07.04.2016 13:01:55] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: And I think your dealer is a little neighbour of mine that I love to call a Cretin.
[07.04.2016 13:02:02] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Sharp ears?
[07.04.2016 13:02:13] Samura|-Kensei: He seemed more Zoner like if you ask me.
[07.04.2016 13:02:22] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Indeed. Especially when your communicator kept
[07.04.2016 13:02:30] Samura|-Kensei: Yes, sharp ears if you can hear anything behind to sound proof walls of ship.
[07.04.2016 13:02:43] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: *she constantly flicks the communication signal button, turning it on and off* Raven: If *STATIC* it *STATIC* keeps *STATIC*
[07.04.2016 13:02:50] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: doing *STATIC* this *STATIC* constantly.
[07.04.2016 13:03:00] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: *she stops flicking the switch on and off, leaving it on*
[07.04.2016 13:04:06] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Anyway. I think your cargo is extremely dangerous.
[07.04.2016 13:04:29] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I'm not surprised your sensors are unable to pick up the... energy.
[07.04.2016 13:04:46] Samura|-Kensei: Top of the line sensors on this ship.
[07.04.2016 13:05:04] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *holds in a laugh* Pfff-PFFFFSCHH.
[07.04.2016 13:05:09] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Top of the line.
[07.04.2016 13:05:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I'm sorry, but, in comparison to this, it's inferior.
[07.04.2016 13:05:17] Samura|-Kensei: Best money can buy.
[07.04.2016 13:05:37] Samura|-Kensei: Whatever you think...
[07.04.2016 13:05:43] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Whatever I know.
[07.04.2016 13:05:56] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I have experience when it comes to dealing with this kind of cargo.
[07.04.2016 13:06:02] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: So I highly suggest you drop it.
[07.04.2016 13:06:06] Samura|-Kensei: Apparently you are the allknowing person.
[07.04.2016 13:06:31] Samura|-Kensei: Why did I even bother talking with you.
[07.04.2016 13:06:49] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Hey. That's your loss.
[07.04.2016 13:06:50] Samura|-Kensei: If you are so smart, why do Outcasts or Corsairs exist still?
[07.04.2016 13:07:07] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Because the universe needs its chaos and discord.
[07.04.2016 13:07:12] Samura|-Kensei: Why do those beings exist as well? The ones you mentioned earlier.
[07.04.2016 13:07:21] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: They exist to protect.
[07.04.2016 13:07:24] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Why do we exist?
[07.04.2016 13:07:31] Samura|-Kensei: To procreate.
[07.04.2016 13:07:36] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Is that so?
[07.04.2016 13:07:45] Samura|-Kensei: Yes. Continuation of species.
[07.04.2016 13:07:52] Samura|-Kensei: That's our purpose in life.
[07.04.2016 13:07:52] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: That applies to everything. To exist.
[07.04.2016 13:08:02] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: However, you are drifting from the point.
[07.04.2016 13:08:09] Samura|-Kensei: So are you.
[07.04.2016 13:08:20] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Once again, I highly suggest you drop the cargo.
[07.04.2016 13:08:43] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Wonderful.
[07.04.2016 13:08:44] Samura|-Kensei: I'll totaly report you to those Zoners.
[07.04.2016 13:08:47] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Uh-huh.
[07.04.2016 13:08:54] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Too bad we're not in their jurisdiction eh?
[07.04.2016 13:08:55] Samura|-Kensei: You can bet your *** that bounters will be on you.
[07.04.2016 13:09:00] Samura|-Kensei: No matter if you are a bounter.
[07.04.2016 13:09:00] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: *laughs*
[07.04.2016 13:09:08] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: I'm sure of it.
[07.04.2016 13:09:12] Samura|-Kensei: Oh, look now you have them in your hold.
[07.04.2016 13:09:16] A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith: Raven: Yes, yes I do.
[07.04.2016 13:09:26] Samura|-Kensei: I can already *hear* drums coming from your hold.
[07.04.2016 13:09:36] Samura|-Kensei: Must be beasts of war coming to kill you.
[07.04.2016 13:09:45] Samura|-Kensei: I hope it happens.
[07.04.2016 13:10:03] Samura|-Kensei: Rest in endless peaces.
Subject: Cincinnati Refit Following the consolidation of Auxesia's forces with the addition of the Initiative's fleet, The "Monument"-Class Dreadnought Cincinnati is in need of a rearm, refit, and transponder modification. This however, posed a problem, due to a lack of access to such resources and a facility to make the needed modifications. However, upon requesting the necessary equipment, and supplying the Guild with Fifty-Million Credits (50,000,000 SC) we now have temporary access to Singapore Shipyard, to replace the Liberty LDH-24v "Collapser" Primary Battleship Turrets and Liberty LDL-14v "Jackhammer" Secondary Battleship Turrets with IMG-T3b Primary Battleship turrets, and IMG-T3a Secondary Battleship turrets, under the same agreement as the Nanda Devi bomber craft. The process of the refit should take no more than seven (7) solar days.
An escort to the Taus, via the Omegas, Sigmas, and Omicrons, has been plotted, to prevent detection by the Royalist Forces of Gallia, which would pose a threat to not only ourselves, but the Independent Miners Guild. Small escort craft, consisting of two (2) fighters, and two (2) bombers, will rendezvous with the Cincinnati in Omega-49, escorting the vessel to Singapore. At any point in time, if the vessel is detected, escorts are to separate and cause a diversion, until A) It's stealth system is engaged, or B) The threat is eliminated. Upon arrival, escorts will remain present in neighboring systems until the rearm and transponder changes are completed. Added security, and the opportunity to further develop relations with the Miners Guild are the main reasons for remaining.
Subject: Querying the Dragon
I took it upon myself to initiate a patrol in the lower Omegas, where I then came across the vessel "Vibrant.Songs" piloted by Emiko. I inquired about her increasing proximity to the Battlegroup. The logs are as follows:
[11.04.2016 20:59:53] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Hmm? Oh, Ohayo
[11.04.2016 21:00:18] A/)-Lelantos: *A modulated voice is heard, the video feed was disabled* "Hm...:
[11.04.2016 21:00:29] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Hmmm?
[11.04.2016 21:00:41] A/)-Lelantos: "You're Yuki, are you not?"
[11.04.2016 21:00:58] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: I am..who's..asking? *Rubbing her head a bit*
[11.04.2016 21:01:09] A/)-Lelantos: "I am known as Endurance."
[11.04.2016 21:01:29] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: I see, well, hello then Endurance, how may I help you?
[11.04.2016 21:01:51] A/)-Lelantos: "I am curious as to why one so important as yourself is here, in Rheinland, instead of leading her people."
[11.04.2016 21:02:15] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: You DO understand they wanted to kill me and be rid of me, right? That's why I left.
[11.04.2016 21:02:24] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Heck, the Dragons were the ones who shot me down.
[11.04.2016 21:02:29] A/)-Lelantos: "I am unaware of such things."
[11.04.2016 21:02:43] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: My mistake then. *bowing her head as a sorry*
[11.04.2016 21:03:02] A/)-Lelantos: "It is my duty to be informed, hence my inquisitive nature."
[11.04.2016 21:03:16] A/)-Lelantos: "Though, it's odd, that they would've turned on you."
[11.04.2016 21:03:37] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: They though I was working with the nomads...
[11.04.2016 21:03:59] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: But, not in the sense you perhaps know of, I mean more like, information gathering
[11.04.2016 21:03:59] A/)-Lelantos: "Similar occurrences seem to appear all over."
[11.04.2016 21:04:04] Vibrant.Songs: and giving you locations...
[11.04.2016 21:04:15] A/)-Lelantos: "And were you?"
[11.04.2016 21:04:23] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Heck, even the sisters and people like that tried to infect me...and no. Regardless of
[11.04.2016 21:04:38] Vibrant.Songs: how nice the nomads may have acted, I still hold secure information as that, secure
[11.04.2016 21:05:04] A/)-Lelantos: "How quaint."
[11.04.2016 21:05:18] A/)-Lelantos: "I do have a few more inquiries."
[11.04.2016 21:05:27] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Please then, do ask.
[11.04.2016 21:06:00] A/)-Lelantos: "We've noticed you appearing more often than not, in close proximity to us. Some believe it to be a coincidence."
[11.04.2016 21:06:16] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: You would be correct...
[11.04.2016 21:06:18] A/)-Lelantos: "Perhaps you might be willing to elaborate on your intentions."
[11.04.2016 21:06:26] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Sure, one is simple
[11.04.2016 21:06:41] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: People have been trying to go via me to get information on the group, anything and just
[11.04.2016 21:06:59] Vibrant.Songs: about everything, two is the nomads have been trying the same but failing altogether with that...
[11.04.2016 21:07:05] A/)-Lelantos: "Group?"
[11.04.2016 21:07:14] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: I'm not working for them, but I like to..yes, Raven, Hunt..all of them...
[11.04.2016 21:07:19] A/)-Lelantos: "The Battlegroup?"
[11.04.2016 21:07:25] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Several people have tried to ask me to watch them..yes..
[11.04.2016 21:07:37] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Ranging from Freelancers, to military officers, to mercs..
[11.04.2016 21:07:37] A/)-Lelantos: "I see. Would you be able to provide their names?"
[11.04.2016 21:07:48] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Sirlagsalot is one that quickly comes to mind.
[11.04.2016 21:07:55] A/)-Lelantos: "John is irrelevant."
[11.04.2016 21:08:01] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Another bigger party is the Order itself and the Core...
[11.04.2016 21:08:09] A/)-Lelantos: "Golanski and Nodviet."
[11.04.2016 21:08:16] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Even Horus and their minor wings, yes.
[11.04.2016 21:08:27] A/)-Lelantos: "Are there others?"
[11.04.2016 21:08:38] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Not that I recall, I do recall Geoff came to be however...
[11.04.2016 21:08:44] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Well, rather, Zealous did.
[11.04.2016 21:09:04] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: however she seemed drunk and I was unable to tell what she wanted, but she did go
[11.04.2016 21:09:07] A/)-Lelantos: "Epsilon is a much more significant threat than her creator."
[11.04.2016 21:09:09] Vibrant.Songs: off about Hunt and Raven a lot..
[11.04.2016 21:09:16] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Get this..
[11.04.2016 21:09:31] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Enfield asked for my Biometrics..
[11.04.2016 21:09:52] A/)-Lelantos: "Curious. Why?"
[11.04.2016 21:10:11] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: He wants access to dangerous weapons and tools, sums that up.
[11.04.2016 21:10:28] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Including physical weapons, ranged, artifacts..well, whatever he could get his hands on..
[11.04.2016 21:10:31] A/)-Lelantos: "We happen to have access to a lot of those."
[11.04.2016 21:10:54] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: I will say this...some group just an hour ago even mentioned Ravens battlecruiser...
[11.04.2016 21:11:04] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Something about shooting a Core carrier..
[11.04.2016 21:11:09] A/)-Lelantos: "Strange, I expected you to be less... Forthcoming with this information."
[11.04.2016 21:11:14] A/)-Lelantos: "Core Carrier?"
[11.04.2016 21:11:17] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Correct.
[11.04.2016 21:11:22] A/)-Lelantos: "That must've been the Blackguard."
[11.04.2016 21:11:40] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: And honestly..I can either tell you now or it would be a hard way if I didn't...
[11.04.2016 21:11:42] A/)-Lelantos: "Children, playing a dangerous game. A minor inconvenience in our path."
[11.04.2016 21:11:53] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Nope..
[11.04.2016 21:12:01] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: I was a group of pirates from what I saw.
[11.04.2016 21:12:45] Vibrant.Songs: *There is the sound of metal moving in the bridge, as the lights came on, it showed Emiko in some heavy metal powered suit -
[11.04.2016 21:12:53] Vibrant.Songs: looking to be made for lifting heavy cargo*
[11.04.2016 21:13:20] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Beyond that..that's all I can think of..
[11.04.2016 21:13:31] A/)-Lelantos: "Pirates."
[11.04.2016 21:13:48] A/)-Lelantos: "Durant and Pearce, no doubt."
[11.04.2016 21:13:57] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Spot on, yes.
[11.04.2016 21:14:13] A/)-Lelantos: "They were encountered earlier, within Omega-Three."
[11.04.2016 21:14:27] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: That's where I meet them as well.
[11.04.2016 21:14:47] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: As for other parties...the nomads have tried to get me to get information on the group...
[11.04.2016 21:14:49] A/)-Lelantos: "Regardless of what their intentions are, it matters not. I thank you for your cooperation in this matter."
[11.04.2016 21:15:04] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: Its fine, really. *Bowing her head*
[11.04.2016 21:15:26] A/)-Lelantos: "Should anything else come to mind in regards to either the Keeper or her associates, do not hesitate to contact me-
[11.04.2016 21:15:30] A/)-Lelantos: Via the neural net."
[11.04.2016 21:15:37] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: One thing has...
[11.04.2016 21:15:53] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: And I keep hearing it a ton yet push it off over and over again...
[11.04.2016 21:16:14] Vibrant.Songs: Emiko: I keep hearing something about an artifact or something of the sort and the nomads wanting it back...I'm
[11.04.2016 21:16:28] Vibrant.Songs: clueless on that field but...figured you'd want to know
[11.04.2016 21:17:00] A/)-Lelantos: "Interesting."
[11.04.2016 21:17:25] A/)-Lelantos: "Thank you for your time. You will be compensated well."
[11.04.2016 21:17:32] Vibrant.Songs: *One would notice now at full look, for a Stork, it was heavily resistant armoring and painted, it was
[11.04.2016 21:17:47] Vibrant.Songs: Clear that even with all going on, even Emiko was preparing for something in her own mind, nodding
[11.04.2016 21:17:54] Vibrant.Songs: to the man silently* No worries...
[11.04.2016 21:17:57] A/)-Lelantos: "Farewell."
It is my personal opinion that it's within our best interest to avoid divulging any relevant or important information within proximity of this individual. She is obviously a security risk, and it is likely she may provide information to those who would disrupt our efforts. She was unusually... Forthcoming with her background and information. I did not expect such. This is the primary reason why sharing anything may do more harm than good.

SUBJECT: Report of the Cincinnati Escort to Tau-44
ENCRYPTION: MEDIUM
PRIORITY: MEDIUM
823 A.S. 16th April,
Hereby the report about the relocation of The Cincinnati towards Tau-44 to undergo repairs and retrofits. Estimated time of dry-dock would be five days. Rendezvous with the Cincinnati happened in the Omega-47 system. Stacker, me and Hasselvander were assigned to the spearhead of the formation and would lead the group towards Omega-41 and from there to Omicron Theta. From here we went towards the Sigma's where we had to be more careful because of GMG patrols. The Cincinnati cloaked while the escorts would continue their way towards the Omicrons as would go to Tau-44 via Alpha. With the cloak enabled we would not attract and attention and the group was have a good pace to evade patrols in the area.
Our arrival at Singapore shipyard went without trouble and the Cincinnati is safely moored there for the upcoming days to receive its retrofits and upgrades.
Involved vessels and escorts:
Maverick (Paladin) 'Cincinnati'
Sapphire Raven (Keeper)
Lelantos (Curator) 'Endurance'
Alan Stacker (Sentinel)
Malcom Simmons (Templar)
Kanade Tachibana (Templar)
Leon Hasselvander (Guardian)
Miri Keating (Initiate)
You can find the complete escort recordings in the attachment below, that would be all.

Me, Venator McAllister and Curator Endurance initiated a survey study towards Liberty with the Science Vessels Artemis and Viator Erro, along with the Eidolon Wraith to scan out for any resourceful debris or locations within Liberty. Here is a small gatherings that we took some information from the scans along with the Neural Net database and combined into a report.
[[ATTACHING DATA: VIEWABLE TO MID-COMMAND ONLY]]
Survey - Resources and Derelicts
LOCATION: Colorado, Silverton Asteroid Field, D6
OBJECT: Abandoned Ageira Manufacturing Station
DETAILS:
Silverton Asteroid Field
Once the major source of Silver for all of Liberty, the Silverton Field has been mined to rubble and dust. Within the field is the former site of an Ageira Technologies manufacturing facility, abandoned over a century ago in favor of Pueblo Station, it now houses a large contingent of Xenos. Trace amounts of Silver Ore remain.
Detailed scanning detects that the station was abandoned in favour of Pueblo Station down the lane, most of the internal building remaining intact whilst the exterior shows signs of deprecation. Parts onboard may be scrapped and reused for other functions.
LOCATION: Colorado, Copperton Asteroid Field, B5
OBJECT: Station Wreck
DETAILS:
Copperton Asteroid Field
Like most of the resources in Colorado, the famed Copperton Field has long since been exhausted. Trace amounts of Copper Ore remain. Xenos are active within the field.
Wreckage of a seemingly destroyed station. Most likely a mining stationed that was once exploiting the resources of the asteroid field, decommissioned upon depletion. Parts of it can recycled.
LOCATION: Cassini, 3D
OBJECT: Foster Base - abandoned
DETAILS:
An abandoned DSE deep space research facility. The base has been scuttled, and isn't likely to contain anything of value anymore. Occasionally, Junkers are seen salvaging parts of the station. A small docking bay with a primitive automated docking control provides access.
This abandoned DSE research facility is positioned at the northern regions of Cassini, residing inside a scrap field of itself, below the station is a gravitational anomaly - most likely present due to a failed experiment. Modules upon the facility are damaged, but partially remain. Station can be re-used and rebuilt, or towed away from the anomaly if proved dangerous.
LOCATION: Texas, Grande Negra, C6
OBJECT: Dallas Research Complex Wreck
DETAILS:
>>>WARNING: NAVIGATIONAL HAZARD<<<
A large region of dark matter and radiation left behind after the Texas Incident of 500 AS decimated the system. Unlike the northern Pequena Negra, the Grande Negra is centred around the fatal Jump Gate's destructive epicentre; as a result, the Grande Negra is far larger than its sibling, although the two clouds' compositions are identical. Much of the Dallas Research Complex was forever swallowed by the Jump Gate's detonation; therefore, whatever resources and technology the Liberty government of over three centuries ago stored there might still remain, shielded from dark matter by storage containers. Archaeologists speculate that were the Grande Negra to be lifted, a perfect tableau of lifeprior to the Incident would be found; Police patrols going about their business, supply transports, and personnel carriers, frozen doing what they had been when the Incident happened.Other than treasure-hunters and suicidal explorers, however, no ships are ever seen entering this zone; even the truly desperate aren't mad enough.
Hazardous remains of the Texas Incident, parts of the Dallas Research Complex remain intact, particularly the storage containers, and may contain useful information. Parts of the station can be reused, especially the damaged generators and modules. Advised caution due to heavy radiation.
Other segments and remains of the station can be discovered in the West and South Dallas Debris Field, where machinery is left visible in space.
This concludes the report file. Of course, we’re still going to need to keep exploring and checking out locations across Sirius.

Hereby the report about a small encounter in Omega-47 with the Corsairs. Both the Keeper on the Eidolon Wraith and Curator on the Basilisk 2 were present and I was assisting them in the effort of taking down the Corsair Legate and Imperator. After some exchange of words and some aggressive maneuvers the Corsairs decided engage our forces. With some handy teamwork me and the Curator managed to take down the hostile gunboat. After that the Legate was engaged and forced into a retreat.

Initiating standard patrol around the area of Cayman and Omega-49, we ran into a small Coalition convoy that was in transit to Omega-52, and the most notable thing was their cargo. Remains. Azurite.
Said materials were inbound to be used as research materials in their ''fight against the Nomads'' - as we naturally know, this is a clear deception.
Either way, the materials were contained and captured by the Atlas and kept in secure fleet storage. Who knows what could have happened had they obtained some of that Azurite.
Speaking of good news...
Initiate Miri, you have passed your trial and are now fully accepted into the fleet. Welcome to the fleet, Guardian Miri.

Time for some good news - after a patrol out in Omicron Delta flying escort for the Cincinatti, we've managed to get our hands on some more Nomad Battleship remains. Should be a nice little boon to go with the exotic cargo we captured last week. The Core battleship Aphanta also showed up during the patrol and provided us with some supporting fire.
On another note, I spotted an Oracle at Gran Canaria. Long-range scans indicated a Sutinga-class fighter. No doubt news of our actions has attracted Nomad-aligned agents trying to gather information on us, so I think we can expect to see more of them in the future.

823 A.S. 29th April,
Today I have been escorting the Eidolon Wraith and The Cincinnati in Omicron Delta, supporting them in fending of groups of Nomads. We also found the Core there after having successfully downed several Nomads, however from these encounters we had been been able to scavenge anything. Luckily for us the Core was willing to shoot some bigger fish for us and I took the remains, although perhaps I should have asked first? They seemed to be frowning at me for doing this for some reason. Anyway, the 2 remains have been secured and returned to Skye as per new agreement with the BMF, you can find the report here.
Subject: The Delta Crisis and Ish'tar The skirmish in Delta, which had been initiated due to the Order sending a Battle Fleet to kill Keeper Raven and myself, seems to have prompted the Core to assault Freeport 11. The station took severe damage, and while many attempted to pin the blame on us for partaking in the attack, their claims and accusations were proven false. At this time, logistics vessels under the command of Venator Stacker are currently aiding in the relief efforts of the Freeport. Each vessel should be escorted, due to the high traffic of hostiles in the area, as well as Nomads. Do not under any circumstances open fire unless the convoy is in danger.
Meanwhile, whilst relocating to keep a keen eye on the developing situation, I aboard the Cincinnati encountered Ish'tar. The rather unique alien kept a distance from the Freeport, and we had revealed ourselves, keeping our weaponry ready to fire should it move, which it did to toy with us. After several minutes of sharking about the Freeport, it left, and we followed it to the Omicron Kappa jumphole, where the Core, Coalition, and Order, had engaged a steadily growing fleet of hostiles. As the Core charged Ish'tar, we brought our artillery online and opened fire on the behemoth. You'll find deck-camera views of such attached below.
