On 16/02, on board of board of Battleship Daishouri, we've received a distress signal originating from Sigma-21. The distress signal from Sigma-21 could mean only one thing and that would be Rheinlanders. A few of our Guild members boarded their bombers vessels and quickly started scouting Sigma-21.

My predictions appeared to be correct as the hostiles were indeed Rheinlanders. Our Guildmaster was the one calling for aid. His transport got ambushed by a Rheinland Cruiser and three more bomber vessels. Seeing that Guildmaster Namura's transport was already under attack, we quickly rushed towards the enemy cruiser.

After a short battle, our forces were victorious and all of the enemy forces were successfully neutralized. Guildmaster Namura didn't get hurt although his transport suffered some minor damage.

On 18/02 we ran a small Helium-3 extraction operation in Sigma-59. The operation went smoothly considering that in the past few weeks we've been encountering Samura miners trying to extract our Helium-3. Needless to say, they've all been dealt with bu our fighter wings.
The Guild successfully managed to extract more than 50.000 Helium-3 units and ship them to Iejima Station.

The extraction operation began approximately 7 hours ago. At the beginning of the operation I was alone, but soon after an hour or so, I've gotten a customer that required Helium-3. The pilot had to fly to the field since our base was very low on the aforementioned commodity. Not so long after my last customer, an independent miner offered his assistance in Helium extraction which I accepted graciously.

Together, we've extracted about 120.000 units of Helium-3 that were shipped by two transports, one being our guildmember GMG|Akashi.Maru and the other a Freelancer B|-BCV-Fairbanks.

Everything went according to plan. The Helium-3 was safely transported to Iejima Station, although one Samura Kamome pilot tried to weasel into our field, he was quickly scared off by our snub pilot.

The next extraction operation is scheduled for tomorrow.

Yesterday while I was inspecting my ship on Iejima docks I received a message from Bristol Constructions. In their message they stated that they're running a convoy from Liberty to Sigma-59 carrying regular Helium from Pennsylvania. Captain Jaina Wheeler requested Helium-3 from me, that request was made while they were passing through Okinawa. After I made sure that everything is in order with my Garanchou I went in space to meet them.

The Bristol convoy consisted of 6 transport vessels and a few escorts. I lead the way to Okha Nebula where I extracted Helium-3 for them. I'm still in the process of drafting a bill for my services and will send it once it's finished.

Today, another Helium-3 extraction op. took pace. The operation itself went according to plan and no enemy interrupted us. If I'm not mistaken, the total amount of extracted Helium was 120.000 units. The pilots of the following transports took part in today's operation:

GMG|Sanyo.Maru
GMG|Akashi.Maru
B|-BCV-Fairbanks

Our next extraction operation should be scheduled for tomorrow or the day after.

Another Helium-3 extraction operation took place yesterday. Unlike the last few operations, this one wasn't as crowded, at least in the beginning. I began extracting the Helium early in the morning and was joined by a Kishiro pilot named Yen.Lee who was flying a Ryuujin. Together, we managed to fill up Iejima Station with Helium-3, the total number would be somewhere around 185.000 units.

At the very end of the extraction op., we got interrupted by an ex-Military fighter pilot; callsign VFK|Fuchs-4. The pilot was flying a Rheinland Very Heavy Fighter and was equipped with some interesting weapons. Miss Kiyota Sayuri was in the area in her Gunship, protecting the operation. We had a clique conversation with the ex-Military pilot. It is very strange how instead of fighting for their own House, in their own House they invade our territory claiming how we're the aggressors.

The conversation ended when VFK pilot got engaged by a GMG fighter pilot, callsign Kakuzu. The GMG pilot managed to inflict heavy damage to the Rheinlander, but the fight eventually found its way outside the Okha Nebula.

The extraction operation was resumed quickly after and few more thousand units of Helium-3 were transported to Iejima Station.

Fighting in Sigma-21 continues, however, recent confrontations with the Rheinland Military have suddenly abated. It is public knowledge that the supposed former Federal Republic of Rheinland has turned in on itself in civil war and this is confirmed by ALG in their correspondence to The Guild on neural net page 178633. Perhaps this is the reason for reduced Rheinland activity in the Sigma Systems - they face larger problems at home.

This presents an opportunity to further solidify The Guild's grip on the system, and Mekong Station, constructed in orbit of Planet Saigon, is undergoing its next stage of fortification. Our established and valued allies Kishiro Technologies and Interspace Commerce have assisted with the delivery of the required materials, accelerating the upgrade effort. In addition to this, contact was made by a previously unencountered group identifying themselves as Bristol Constructions. Their services were engaged, however due to the sensitivity of the Mekong project and lack of prior dealings with this organisation, they were contracted under the guise of a project on Iejima Station. The heat sinks they delivered from Bretonia were subsequently transferred from Iejima Station, Sigma-59, to Mekong Station, Sigma-21. The speed, efficiency and professionalism displayed by Bristol Constructions was most impressive and, should they prove trustworthy, they may serve as a worthy ally in the future. Despite instruction to deliver directly to iejima, a number of units of heat sinks were also delivered to Mekong Station, which is not ideal and could possibly be viewed as a lack of discipline, but on the other hand could also be taken as individual transport captains being able to take the initiative. The logs of the transfer of heat sinks are listed below.

Heat sinks - 4,640 units
Heat sinks - 4,640 units - 9,280 units
Heat sinks - 4,640 units - 13,920 units
Heat sinks - 4,640 units - 18,560 units
Heat sinks - 4,640 units - 23,200 units
Heat sinks - 4,640 units - 27,840 units
Heat sinks - 4,640 units - 32,480 units

Further to the above, a number of illegal installations infringing on GMG sovereignty in the Sigma-21 system have been removed. Most notable was Tsingtao Station, an apparent joint project between the Restored Empire of Kusari and Federal Republic of Rheinland, which was subsequently destroyed with the assistance of the Blood Dragons.

Tsingtao Station - Destroyed
Horus Research Complex - Destroyed
Lucifer - Destroyed

Any further offending bases will be forcibly deconstructed, and in the interim Mekong Station will continue to act as the main Guild base of operations in the system. The Rheinland MIlitary will eventually withdraw, whether it be by choice or force.

Subject: Mekong Station, Gen'an Chrysanthemums

The Rheinland Military has successfully been repelled from Sigma-21, and the Kolleda battlegroup has departed the Sigma Systems. This is a substantial success on the part of The Guild paramilitary and has further solidified our hold on the system. We now have further breathing room to develop the system as rightful GMG space, and further to this goal, Mekong Station is undergoing yet another expansion project.

Our friends in Kishiro Technologies have supplied components for an ongoing upgrade of the station's electronic systems, and its life support systems are also in the process of being expanded with the requisite materials being sourced and delivered directly.

Nanomembrane filters - 4,650 units
Nanomembrane filters - 4,650 units - 9,300 units
Nanomembrane filters - 4,650 units - 13,950 units
Nanomembrane filters - 4,650 units - 18,600 units
Nanomembrane filters - 1,400 units - 20,000 units

Though not all is well. The Gen'an cell, our former allies of the Golden Chrysanthemums, have of late decided they are anything but. On more than one occasion were they detected supplying an Outcast invasion into Sigma-17, and even on occasion outright assisting them in battle. When confronted, the Gen'an have been entirely unapologetic.

More recently, today two Gen'an ships were observed in discussions with a legitimate trader in the Sigma-19 system. These ships wasted no time in vacating the area in violation of Guild directives. The law-abiding trader confirmed he had been the victim of extortion.

Communications Log

It is unclear as to how deeply this rot has set into the wider Chrysanthemum movement, but it is clear that the Gen'an cell in particular is no longer a friend of The Guild. It is most likely the corruption of the Outcasts and their cardamine has stolen the Gen'an from us irrevocably.

They have unfortunately unveiled themselves as a threat to the security of the Sigma Systems and are no longer welcome in Guild space.

It seems that a new source of trouble breeds across the Sigmas. This time, a Junker vessel flying a Pilgrim Liner, under the name of CVS-Cristobal, tried to pirate the Karaji Maru as it was mining in the Helium-3 field in Sigma-59. However, thanks to my quick reflexes, the Junker was unable to catch the vessel and I managed to dock at Iejima Station just as a cruise disruptor was about to hit the vessel's engines.

Ship Log

Despite this setback, a few hours later, the Karaji Maru continued its usual business of filling Iejima Station with 30,000 units of Helium-3, ready to be shipped to other destinations as per usual Guild protocol to enterprising traders.

While the Gas Miners Guild seeks to defend the rightful Sigma Systems from factions such as the Corsairs, Outcasts, Hogosha, Farmers Alliance, Rheinland Military (and the BDM), and even the infectees known as the "Wild", it would be unusual to see a Junker actively threatening Guild interests. Even so, they must be regarded as a possible new threat to our operations.

Let this be known that the Guild is always aware of any new threat, expected or unexpected.

Following its earlier attack the same day, the CVS-Cristobal has attempted to accost the Namura Maru in the Sigma-21 system, but on observing its armament, wisely decided against further hostile action. It was unwisely, however, carrying a load of cardamine and continually refused to come to a stop as directed. Following a short engagement, during which it fled to the Sigma-17 system, the ship was destroyed.

CVS-Cristobal Communications Log

Further to the transmission received from the Starlight Research Consortium in reference to the illegal Yaese Research Station, today a neutral ship the NSE|=Numenor was observed docking with the station, and subsequently reemerging having delivered its cargo. This delivery would appear to contravene the previous directive given to SLRC that the illegal station be abandoned. They have been contacted again for further comment, and the captain of the Numenor informed on scene of the situation, being advised not to deliver any further goods.

Numenor Communications Log

A message has also been sent over the neural net, so they might not forget.

It has been two years since the unthinkable happened. During the Pulse, Iejima Station almost suffered a destabilization in its reactor core. Luckily, I was onboard the station when it happened, and I managed to stabilize it with the help of other crew posted within the station, preventing a more severe consequence that may have set us back considerably. Unfortunately, this meant that the station wasn't usable for years to come, made complicated by the increased presence of both Corsair and Outcast raiders and the depletion of Helium-3 reserves within the Sigma-59 gas clouds.

During this two-year period, we reached out to our most trusted partner, Kishiro Technologies, to assist in the relocation and repair of Iejima Station, after the discovery of vast, untapped reserves of Helium-3 within the far reaches of the Sigma-13 system, formerly concealed by explosive gas pockets. After completing the relocation several months ago, the station's repair work went smoothly, aside from few minor incidents where hostile forces, repelled by our paramilitary, tried to attack us. The biggest achievement is, however, the construction of an additional refinery module, which allows Iejima Station to convert processed Helium-3 into H-Fuel. This has allowed the Gas Miners Guild to reap huge profits, thanks to the surge in buyers from all across Sirius.

As a result of increased demand, the Karaji Maru has been formally redeployed to provide a continuous stream of Helium-3 to Iejima Station, in the hopes that the supply can match the demand from other buyers. But not all is well though, due to constant hostile activity that our paramilitary has had to repel a countless amount of times. Still, the Gas Miners Guild continues to prosper in times of adversity, and we hope this is the case for years to come.

Today is a glorious day to all guildmembers and our Guildmaster, Keiji Namura. Our paramilitary wing was notified of a possible Corsair intrusion in the Sigma-59 system. We counted a few battleships, several battlecruisers, gunboats, and snubcraft. With the aid of alongside a helpful Freelancer called Nyctimene, we managed to snatch a decisive victory for the Guild. Unfortunately, the Oobama Maru suffered severe damage, but we towed it safely to Niigata Star Yards.

Let it be known that the Guild paramilitary is not to be underestimated.
