former directeur Antonin de Lusignan is now member of government and I have taken his place as directeur of our agency. My name is Baron Mainfred Quentin Bourreau.
But pleasantries aside, do you have any information on the vessel in question in former superior's message? As it was seen in Gallia doing its... whatever it was trying to do, I would like to know if you can share more information about it.
You can also understand this message as my wish to keep this information channel open.
Director, lack of response from us is unintentional and we will correct this late answer now.
For your information, Amenhotep is your typical example of an Osiris class battleship and is marked for termination by Order forces with extreme prejudice. It is expected to run on Liberty spare parts provided by Liberty Navy and Insurrection. Like any Osiris or derivative, it retains superb performance within asteroid fields. Its weak point is its own commander, should you face it in battle.
Jonathan Kalh, a Liberty national currently expecting to operate under callsign “Asmodeus” , is the commanding officer of Amenhotep. Current information on him is derived from psych analysis and prognosis from his service within The Order. Kalh had not made a public appearance for a long time, choosing sanctuary of Amenhotep’s bridge instead. If some more speculative information is to be believed, Kalh underwent surgery and invasive augmentations that separated him from a human standard. Due to him rarely making appearances, it is impossible to determine how drastic his cyberization truly is.
Before we were able to relieve him off active duty, Kalh had defected to Liberty Navy due to at the time holding ill-advised loyalties to his homeworld that overcame his duty to The Order. Unsurprisingly, his mental condition deteriorated and not long after, Kalh had made an offer to Liberty Insurgency. At some point he began labelling himself as ‘Asmodeus’ and pressed Amenhotep into service on the side of the Liberty rebels. What had pressed him to make such drastic choices is unknown. Insurrection is likely desperate due to their chronic lack of allies, or had found a way to control him at least partially.
He is sought after for mainly mutiny and treason. Jonathan Kalh had been sentenced to death in absentia. Should he be captured, we are looking forward to extraditing him for his information on Liberty underground before ‘decommissioning’ Asmodeus once and for all.

apology accepted and merci for the information provided. This background information of Jonathan Kalh, or his deranged 'Asmodeus' persona, will be useful in any case. Luckily, we have not seen him since then.
There might be a things to discuss with your organization, but these will have to wait until Union government decides whether it would like to see your ships within Gallia or not. Jusque là, Grand Amiral.
