823 A.S. 3rd of May,
Been a rough day so far and I doubt we're done yet but we'll see. Today I was escorting the A/)-LV-Atlas which was piloted by Stacker. We regrouped at Freeport 15 with some Craytarian and IMG vessels both existing out of escorts and fighters. The complete group moved to Delta with the escorts taking point to draw away Nomad forces. Initially it worked out but Core forces engaged the CR and had me occupied with even more trouble as I was piloting a bomber in the mess. The Atlas was caught by Nomads including a MND Gunboat called Nestor. They took down the Atlas which was nearing the Freeport but sadly it didn't make it without receiving critical damage. I am confident Stacker made it to Freeport 11, be it in an ejection pod.
Eager to even out the odds I continued harassing the Nomads as best I could, gaining help from the Core after some time and I managed to take down a pilot named Jared Nomak, a pilot assisting the Nomad forces. He was taken down. Later I hooked up with the IMG and tried to help their units reach the Freeport unharmed. This was done successfully and I took down two nomads in the process with Nestor following suit with the help of the Order. IMG was very pleased with my performance and I earned a total of 6.000.000cr. This might also help with out current situation we have with their Bounty board.
This would be all for now, I will see if I can attach some proof later on to confirm the events.

PRIORITY: MEDIUM
823 A.S. 4th of May,
It was another rough day, I was with the Curator and Malcolm Simmons. The Curator was flying Hussar One and we managed to get a deal to assist in another engagement against the Core. The three of use performed top notch team work and managed to take out several enemies. An earlier encounter in Delta had resulted in a Thresher being shot down however we lost the Basilisk 1.
We regrouped and headed for Theta as a battlegroup of the Hessians and SCRA vessels was setting up a defense against the Core as a large fleet was inbound. Both forces clashed and in the tumult we managed to take two enemy Core bombers and a Gunship.

Priority Announcement
Effective immediately, all assets are to relocate to the Koeln system, Wildspitzefeld Field.
As the situation has mostly cooled down in the Omicrons and our research gatherers have collected as much as they can, it is imperative for us to recover for the time being. Good work out there. Though, unfortunately, we have also discovered a security risk and must take retreat to the system to recover and to lay low.
The Eidolon and the Cincinnati will take rest and be out of action within the field, as our assets will repair in hiding. Base out of the vessels for now. Don't draw attention to ourselves.

We initiated a survey team with two Science Vessels, Artemis and Viator Erro, and conducted an exploration mission around the sector. It is imperative that we find a suitable location to set up home before we... perish. As such, we have gone around and viewed those several locations and took into consideration of the benefits and the drawbacks of the area. With our previous data, I believe we can formulate an operation as our findings were quite bountiful. Discussions shall occur within the Phalanx concerning our next movement.
[[ATTACHING DATA: VIEWABLE TO MID-COMMAND ONLY]]
Survey - Points of Interest
LOCATION: Planet Hallam, Pennsylvania, Liberty
PROS: Resources, Isolation.
CONS: High traffic system, Liberty, distance from possible supply lines.
PROS: Habitable, Potential resources, Isolated. Location is near Bretonia.
CONS: Temperature, distance from possible supply lines, possible security issues (Local populace of Inverness). The proximity to the borders of Liberty, as well as local Crayterian forces could potentially raise unwanted questions.
PROS: Isolated, Out of the way - People won’t notice it instantly.
CONS: Environmental - The planet is cold and basing there will require more resources to maintain through the coldness.
LOCATION: Aniva Nebula, Sigma-59, Sigmas
PROS: Deposits of Nomadic Crystals/or possibly remains of a structure, are detected within the cloud - may provide some research and economical bonuses. Concealed - easy to hide. May be beneficial for transports to sneak through to Zeta anomaly. Well hidden.
CONS: Distance from supply points. Rocks make it hard for any large vessels to transverse through. Local forces may prove an issue - especially with the Sigmas heating up. Order units are detected in Zeta. Alien sources are detected in nearby sectors.
PROS:
Natural formations that may be possibly used as a structure. Ice is present. CONS: Heavy GMG presence is detected within the nebula. Recent patrols have shown signs of Kusari Naval Forces interest within the system.
LOCATION: Mekong Cloud, Sigma-21, Sigmas
PROS: Close connection to Sigma-15, allowing easier access to our allies.
CONS: Alien presence detected within the cloud, the source however, is unknown. Area is not concealed.
LOCATION: Planet Saigon, Sigma-21, Sigmas
PROS: Habitable, Isolated, Potential resources.
CONS: Contested territory, as witnessed during patrols and the initial survey. Core forces patrolling the region, Kusari Naval Forces, The Gas Miners and a Legate under the control of the Farmers Alliance have been noted. Additionally, the distance from colonized space limits supply movement, and can possibly hinder operations planetside.
LOCATION: Kauthara, Sigma-21, Sigmas
PROS: Less focused on, Potential relay point to listen in on the locals. The moon is an ecological point of interest, protecting the planet from the asteroid impacts with the gravity field, as the moon is tidally locked in. Can be used as a last measure to wipe out the colonies below. “If we can’t get it - no one can. “
CONS: Contested territory. No probability of an operative outpost.
For now, focus on the defensive stance. Keep up the good work.
Myself, Keeper Raven, as well as Guardian Rockerfeller and Sentinel Chirino initiated a patrol with the use of the Redeemer gunship. Upon entering Sigma-21, we happened across a rather peculiar sight. A Thresher, accompanied by fighter and bomber escort towards Saigon. A skirmish broke out, in which one Core fighter was destroyed almost immediately. The second was eliminated by a nuclear mine detonation. The Moray had shifted its targeting to the Redeemer, in a vain attempt to assist their Destroyer. It soon joined its comrades in their escape pods. Lastly, with suppression support from Hussar One, the Brimstones on the Redeemer, and Guardian Rockerfeller, the Thresher was eventually eliminated.

Be advised that the presence of Core patrols in the local region pose a serious threat to our operations, and further encounters should be met with the same force as the patrol listed above.
Subject: Logistics report Per an agreement made with the Confederation of Freeports, Logistics has been working to supply Freeport 11 with the necessary materials to make repairs, in exchange for monetary compensation. I took command of the Atlas, and was escorted by Templar Savitz on Hussar One. Relevant visuals attached below.
Subject: Local area patrol Myself, Venator McAllister and Keeper Raven decided to travel to Omicron Delta on a heavy duty patrol. We encountered a few familiar faces, such as the Zoner Destroyer Caliginous, and our old friend Caleb Walker of the Destroyer From This Valley. After a brief discussion, we were ambushed by two Core vessels, which failed in their attempt to destroy the Cincinnati. The Medusa decloaked, immediately opening fire, and the Cincinnati responded with equal forces, destroying the Battlecruiser Olympius in seconds, giving a clear chance to escape the lethal fire of the Mako's Cerberus batteries. Getting out of range, long ranger batteries returned fire, and the Medusa was eradicated.

Subject: Escort of IRG| Curator Endurance, Keeper Raven, The Vengeance, and I escorted IRG ships from Omicron Delta to Omicron Minor, Keeper Raven had noticed some extensive holes in the clouds of Omicron Minor near the location of the old Alien Gate. Once we arrived, it was clear that the power cells in the Alien Gate had cause some kind of interference with our scanner technology and left a nasty irradiated zone. While the scans were taking place we were approached by Kelly, pilot of the Order|CV-T-Atum. He told us something about him commanding the troops in the Order, and let us know we were not very welcome. We were given an unwelcoming conversation, one that was more convoluted than rational, but we stood our ground to complete the survey and scans. Once the IRG had left, we were discussing what would happen next when we were accosted by two Corsair pilots. They were their usual belligerent selves and spoke of fines and levies. Seems the Order has no problem with Corsairs, but they will turn on those who aided them in war. Another fine day in space, and no one was hurt, not even the silly Corsairs.

A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Curator: Even so, several agents within the Primary fleet have decided not to follow such an order. They don't see the point.
IRG|Ingenuus: Finn: Well Brad, seem's we're in the middle of a mess here
Order|CV-T-Atum: Kelly: Heh..I see you found the nuked gate.
A/)-CS-Titania.II: Cromwell: My theory is they caused the gate to effectively self destruct. I suppose.
Order|CV-T-Atum: Kelly: We destroyed it actually..
Order|CV-T-Atum: Kelly: Five megaton nuclear weapons..
A/)-ACV-Cincinnati: Curator: Do you have any proof of such a claim, or are you taking credit for it?
Order|CV-T-Atum: Kelly: The damage is from the nuclear bombing of two Osiris
A/)-CS-Titania.II: Cromwell: I've been to Minor before. This hasn't always been like this.
Order|CV-T-Atum: Kelly: Fun fact, it was Golanski who Ordered its destruction...

SUBJECT: Nomad & Core encounter in Delta
ENCRYPTION: MEDIUM
PRIORITY: MEDIUM
823 A.S. 22nd May,
Several encounters happened around Freeport 11 today. One of which was a nomad trying to sneak up on people who weren't paying attention. Both his passes failed, it being two as he tried one first but ran off into the distance when it figured out the odds weren't in its favour. The second time it tried to do ambush someone it stuck around and got engaged with our forces. Not surprising as moments later a D9 LSF vessel approached and immediately started to open up on us. Of course it had to be one of the 'D9', so there is that. Its transponder showed the name D9|Valiance. It was soon taken care of however as it flew right into one of my antimatter shots. The same happened moments later to the nomad that kept up its efforts to try and take us down.
In another encounter that shortly followed we found a Thresher some ten clicks from the Freeport. He didn't seem very eager on fighting but was taken down anyhow as he couldn't properly explain himself. I'm sure he was just trying to act innocent as he was already aware he wouldn't stand a chance when it would come to firefight. The Redeemer took it down swiftly and I didn't even manage to get more than two antimatter shots out. This vessel went by the name Bin.exe. Perhaps its named related to the vessel class being a Thresher, who knows?
As usual, you'll find the footage in the attachment.
Subject: Rank Adjustments & Standing Orders
The following rank adjustments have been made:
Guardians Miri Keating and Malcolm Simmons have been promoted to the rank of Templar. You have both shown you have the dedication, knowledge and insight we look for to move up within the ranks. Congratulations.
Additionally, all assets are to relocate to Koeln once more and await further instructions. In regards to The Order, you are not to engage them unless attacked. Do not instigate or incite violence. As well, the Coalition have ceased their hostile actions against us, and we are likely going to be conducting an operation within the Omega region. Be ready for future updates.
