We have begun cycling new recruits to help training the new wave of Insurgency Navy Pilots. It has been a long time since the Amenhotep has been teeming with life. Ms. Shield seems happy with the new faces as it gives her more to do. My crew get some very much needed time off and we fill the empty spots with new recruits that need the training. They know I mean business and I expect nothing but the best.

After going through my past I came across this old news clipping from when I was serving with the Order Overwatch. It still amazes me that my then enemies (Auxesia) would now be one of my closest allies. How my eyes have been opened.
Important news of the week, brought to you by The Order Protectorate news service. 6th September 823 A.S. marks a day when a group known as ‘Battlegroup Auxesia’ had delivered declaration of war to Admiral Jeremy Hunter of The Order, after committing multiple cases of criminal and hostile acts by Auxesian fleet against The Order and its allies. Initially reluctant to retaliate against remarkably small and inefficient paramilitary, so called “Keeper” Sapphire Raven - more information concerning profile of the individual farther in the article - initiated an ambush in the star system of Coronado, violating yet again difficult no firing zone established by Crayterian government in a desperate attempt to decrease tensions in the region. Freelance gunboat “Redemption” in covert service to the Auxesia initiated combat with The Order vessel O.C.V. Amenhotep in a rouse to frame the captain into an “assault against civilian population of the barrier gate”, deploying its flagship ACV Eidolon Wraith with an alarming respond time to confront The Order. Lying to the local law enforcement agencies of Crayterian Navy, the commanding officer in charge remained rightly unconvinced by Auxesian plot.
After midnight in early hours of 8th September 823 A.S. Sirius Mean Time, The Grand Admiral Golanski greenlighted offensive operation against Auxesia’s Battlegroup in what he described as “Unprecedented false flag operation, revealing the true face and intentions of the traitors to humanity that Auxesians are”. 1st Battlegroup of The Black Fleet was called to deliver the blow against rendezvous point of Auxesian capital vessels found within the Barrier nebula. Deploying O.C.V. Fedayeen and O.C.V. Amenhotep , our fleet has bested A.C.V. Eidolon Wraith and A.C.V. Cincinnati in full fleet combat, driving remainder of hostile battlegroup out of the system. It is expected that enemy presence in Coronado and neighbouring systems will be severely limited as a result, freeing this portion of independent worlds from terrorist reign of the “Battlegroup Axesia” for the time being.
In the home territories, the suspicious silence from the Core is reinforcing The Order’s Intelligence suspicion that Guildmaster Nodtviet was assassinated and replaced, most likely by members his inner circle during later stages of Freeport 11 crisis. While loss of this warlord should ease plight of civilian population in the Omicrons, Core threat remains at large. This shift in geopolitical situation of the star cluster altered the most wanted lists issued by The Order. Short profiles of the dangerous individuals sought by The Fleet will be listed here. The attached pictures are as last seen by The Order.
⧫ Sapphire Raven
Head of a personality cult labelled under the title of Battlegroup Auxesia, Raven is ex-Core Guildmaster tired of living in shadow of Nodtviet. Mentally unstable, dangerous and surrounded by brainwashed fanatics. Raven was sentenced to death by The Order on basis of crimes against humanity committed during Core career and further infringements occuring after defection. Also sought after by Liberty and Crayterian law enforcement alike on basis of criminal and terrorist activity in their respective territories.
⧫ Joshua “Endurance” Hunt
Second in command to Battlegroup Auxesia, also known more under nickname of “Curator Endurance”. Romantically involved with Sapphire Raven, Hunt is believed to be personally responsible for Battlegroup’s day-to-day operations. Sentenced to death in absentia after failing to instigate coup against The Order Overwatch General Assembly. Considered dangerous terrorist by Liberty and Crayterian governments.
⧫ Joseph "Tantalus" Grooms
An ex-Order operative of “HORUS” task force, declared traitor to humanity by belief, action and affiliation. Tantalus disappeared in illogical and conflicting circumstances after his relations to Battlegroup Auxesia were revealed to The Order Overwatch and thus was not added to the List of the Fallen. Sought after to either face a trial for his crimes or ultimately confirm his death.
This is all for today.

We have been patrolling Kansas and Vespucci for months now and I decided it was time to stretch our legs a bit more and see what is out there. We happened upon a DSE construction base building a Jump gate to an unknown destination. I will have a few men look around on the Neural Net and see whats buzzing. Corporate employees are very talkative and love talking about their new endeavors. My only concern is where this leads and who is on the other side. We will maintain a steady position far from DSE's tracking capabilities and monitor the situation for now.

Taking the Coronado Jump Hole in Cortez we found ourselves in a peculier situation. A few Auxesian ships were being harassed by a lone Liberty Assault Battle Cruiser. We immediately lowered our cloak and proceeded to attack the lone vessel without hesitation. After doing substantial damage we were forced to retreat as multiple enemy Capital Warships were on an intercept course. We did what we could for our allies and we had to move out.

Captain's Log: Edinburgh, A meeting with the Fleur Royale MdG/-
After an extensive search we were able to find the remnants of the Gallic Royal Navy they now go by Maréchal du Roi. Small in numbers and desperate, they remember who Harmony is and I was able to convince them that Insurgency wishes to rebuild its relationship they we had when we were recognized as Harmony. They are short on supplies and I was able to get in contact with Bristol in the hopes to have them deliver the supplies needed. This would help foster a steady relationship and dependency on one another. In return they are offering Gallic Royal Military Scrap. We can burn this down and reuse them to make more ships or repair our damaged ones. We shall see what the future holds for us.
[25.04.2021 18:09:14] MdG/-Jade.Paris.: Hmm....
[25.04.2021 18:09:49] IN|INS-Amenhotep: I am Rear Admiral Asmodeus, I have come to meet with Eveline Laroux, Do you mind informing them that I am here.
[25.04.2021 18:10:51] MdG/-Jade.Paris.: Oui , i do.
[25.04.2021 18:12:46] MdG/-Jade.Paris.: Well , Rear Admiral Asmodeus. I will escort to Gaia.
[25.04.2021 18:12:51] MdG/-Jade.Paris.: Please follow me.
[25.04.2021 18:12:58] IN|INS-Amenhotep: Lead the way.
[25.04.2021 18:14:56] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Ahh bonjour.
[25.04.2021 18:15:22] IN|INS-Amenhotep: Good evening.
[25.04.2021 18:15:43] IN|INS-Amenhotep: I am Asmodeus, Rear Admiral of the Insurgency Navy. My XO to my right is Lilly Shield.
[25.04.2021 18:15:45] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Made quite the journey to come visit us.
[25.04.2021 18:16:27] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Well, we have been this way before many times. But yes it was quite the trip from Vespucci.
[25.04.2021 18:16:38] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: I am Lieutenant D'Aboville, nice to meet you Admiral.
[25.04.2021 18:16:59] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: I would prefer to meet face to face but precautions have to be taken.
[25.04.2021 18:17:04] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: I am honestly suprised to meet with you all here, The Armed Forces no doubt like to patrol this area.
[25.04.2021 18:17:42] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Not as much as you would think. They like to overextend themselves.
[25.04.2021 18:17:42] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Caution is always needed when meeting someone you never met before so its understandable.
[25.04.2021 18:18:02] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Their forces are spread thin.
[25.04.2021 18:18:08] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Ah, well you would know more than I as I dont tend to linger in and around Bretonia to often.
[25.04.2021 18:18:40] Maroon.Whale: Hi
[25.04.2021 18:19:00] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Anyways, I am glad you all have come. I will just get to the point as im sure your time is precious.
[25.04.2021 18:19:12] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Cavalier Paris, make sure that transport keeps moving away.
[25.04.2021 18:19:23] MdG/-Jade.Paris.: Roger.
[25.04.2021 18:19:36] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Of course, do go on.
[25.04.2021 18:19:57] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: The Insurgency is in a similar situation you Royalist are not doubt in. I am not aware the extent of your infastructure but
[25.04.2021 18:20:18] IN|INS-Amenhotep: we are willing to lend aid as the Gallic Royal Navy has done for us. During the time we were known as Harmony.
[25.04.2021 18:20:52] IN|INS-Amenhotep: With the Gallic Union now standing where you once stood we still hold Royalist above them.
[25.04.2021 18:21:05] IN|INS-Amenhotep: in terms of our loyalty.
[25.04.2021 18:21:45] IN|INS-Amenhotep: The Insurgency is looking for allies, distance is not a factor. We would be delighted to play host to you on Marshal Station in
[25.04.2021 18:21:53] IN|INS-Amenhotep: Vespucci to meet Fleet Admiral Knight.
[25.04.2021 18:22:11] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: It is good to see that sirius has people that value our previous efforts.
[25.04.2021 18:23:15] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: We are curious to know what your situation is within Gallia.
[25.04.2021 18:23:35] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Our situation is not ideal. We have been reduced to a small number of scattered fleets that act as mobile bases of operation
[25.04.2021 18:24:53] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Are you in no position to move your assets into a more consolidated fleet and secure a proper base of operations?
[25.04.2021 18:25:23] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: To do so would draw too much attention.
[25.04.2021 18:26:04] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: We cannot risk another assault of the scale we saw here.
[25.04.2021 18:26:17] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: MNS-San.Giancarlo
[25.04.2021 18:27:01] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: I understand, as a show of good faith I can put together supplies that can be sent to the destination of your choosing.
[25.04.2021 18:27:41] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: If there is anything I can do that can help you set up a proper base of operations we are here and willing to help.
[25.04.2021 18:27:49] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Much like you we are in need of external collaboration, we seek to foster a mutual supply network with foreign allies.
[25.04.2021 18:28:01] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Your suggestion would be a good first step in that direction.
[25.04.2021 18:28:26] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Do you have anything that you can offer in terms of trade that I can relay back to The Fleet Admiral?
[25.04.2021 18:29:28] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: We can't offer ships or weapons, they are too precious. However there are many goods we aquire from our raids...
[25.04.2021 18:29:58] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: We would not want to take your armarments. If you can compile a list of items you receive from your raids that would
[25.04.2021 18:30:00] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: ...that you may find a use for where we do not. Minerals, consumer goods and other supplies.
[25.04.2021 18:30:31] IN|INS-Amenhotep: certainly help. We can do the same and I am sure we can establish a link of trade.
[25.04.2021 18:30:59] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Gallia is of course a rich source of military salvage after all of the battles we've seen.
[25.04.2021 18:31:45] IN|INS-Amenhotep: During your patrols have you taken note of the force that guardes the salvage?
[25.04.2021 18:34:10] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: There is always some risk but the area is mostly inhabited by EFL and scavengers. No trouble for soliders of the late King.
[25.04.2021 18:34:12] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: if you do not know then I understand. Most Military forces tend to guard their fallen brethren's vessels. At least its what
[25.04.2021 18:34:14] IN|INS-Amenhotep: we seen.
[25.04.2021 18:34:31] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: That is good to hear.
[25.04.2021 18:35:19] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Is there a destination that you would like the first batch of supplies be sent?
[25.04.2021 18:36:19] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Are you familiar with Monte Carlo Freeport?
[25.04.2021 18:36:49] IN|INS-Amenhotep: I am not aware of such a station.
[25.04.2021 18:37:04] IN|INS-Amenhotep: If you can provide the coordinates I can relay it over.
[25.04.2021 18:38:09] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: It is located in Provence. I will forward the coordinates to your nav-computer.
[25.04.2021 18:38:57] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Thank you, Do you have any questions for me?
[25.04.2021 18:39:11] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: It also might be prudent to enter Provence from the Taus.
[25.04.2021 18:39:25] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: <Ore.Hunter>
[25.04.2021 18:39:40] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: <Ore.Hunter>
[25.04.2021 18:39:49] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Understood I have noted it down.
[25.04.2021 18:39:55] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Our operations currently extend as far as Cortez. I presume if our forces should come into contact on the field then...
[25.04.2021 18:41:25] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: Without question, do not hesitate to give us a heads up should you need reinforcements.
[25.04.2021 18:41:53] IN|INS-Amenhotep: When it comes to Insurgency we tend to focus more inside and around Liberty Space to include bits of Bretonia.
[25.04.2021 18:42:19] IN|INS-Amenhotep: But I am a different case. I dont have the same limits as my brethren. If you need more direct support I can always come to you
[25.04.2021 18:42:24] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: And of course, we shall see if we can't rustle up some of the finest gallic salvage in return.
[25.04.2021 18:42:41] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: We could leave it at the Freeport for the return trip, if that seems suitable?
[25.04.2021 18:43:07] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: That will work well.
[25.04.2021 18:43:09] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Paris, you know what to do.
[25.04.2021 18:43:12] 2021-04-25 18:43:11 SMT Traffic control alert: Nymph-[Fae has requested to dock
[25.04.2021 18:44:57] IN|INS-Amenhotep: We have connections that we can utilize to trasport the materials you need under a quasilawful corporation we know. I
[25.04.2021 18:45:09] IN|INS-Amenhotep: will give you more details in the neural net so you know what to expect.
[25.04.2021 18:45:17] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Understood.
[25.04.2021 18:45:40] IN|INS-Amenhotep: It helps keep what we are doing under a low profile. It has worked in the past. Should work again.
[25.04.2021 18:46:10] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: And we would be happy for your help, should the situation allow for it. Unfortunately we cannot offer you refuge yet.
[25.04.2021 18:46:20] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Our fleet's locations are highly sensitive
[25.04.2021 18:46:52] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Perhaps they may change if this relationship stands the test of time.
[25.04.2021 18:47:16] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: I understand, your in a tricky situation and every move you make is very important.
[25.04.2021 18:47:57] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: If there is nothing else we shall make the trip back.
[25.04.2021 18:48:16] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Likewise. It was a pleasure talking to you, Rear Admiral.
[25.04.2021 18:48:45] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: And you, watch yourselves out there. Times are changing.
[25.04.2021 18:48:47] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Do you require an escort back to Liberty?
[25.04.2021 18:49:10] IN|INS-Amenhotep: A: The Osiris is equiped with a cloaking device. We shall be fine. I appreiate the offer.
[25.04.2021 18:49:22] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Very well, Lieutenant, Cavalier. On my wing.
[25.04.2021 18:49:22] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Understood.
[25.04.2021 18:49:29] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Oui.

Captain's Log: Emergency Frequency Established With Fort Leniex
While still apart of the Insurgency Navy, I am still given the freedom to leave Liberty and continue with my endeavors within the Omicron Systems. However there always comes a time where I am needed and it seems that time has come. Fort Leniex has send out an emergency ping to all Insurgency Vessels to return back and normally I am not included in that but I specifically was mentioned as "High Priority" which I have yet to ever be needed that much. I will make haste back to Vespucci its no quick journey though. I hope I arrive in time.

Captain's Log: Powering down in the Avlemore Nebula
We are powering down main engines to conceal our position for the time being. We have made contact with Admiral Knight and are trying to understand the current situation. She has retreated from Vespucci as the Liberty Navy marches in. I expected her to put up more of a fight. It seems my expedition into the Omicrons was to long winded and I feel I should have returned sooner. I doubt I could have changed the current progress of the Navy but I know I could have hampered some of it. Knight accuses Auxo of working with the Nomads and I am awaiting their evidence.
I will get to the bottom of this but I feel I and the Amenhotep will have to slip back into the shadows once again. I honestly felt we were in the right place but it seems the Insurgency is falling apart. The future is coming and with many changes ahead I know we will survive. We always have and always will.

So this is what they are calling it, word has spread across the Insurgency Network "The Last Hurrah". The Triton battlecruiser stands with very few snubcraft support against what seems like an armada of Naval Ships. With Admiral Knight nowhere to be seen I took the Liberty of attempting to contact her in an effort to find out whats going on. She has retreated core Harmony forces and left everyone else to die. She dosent outright say it that way but its what has been done. I have seen more and more Insurgency Officers take the same route and abandon their posts. I have fought countless battle against very shaky odds but this is out right suicide. There is no hope for victory. We might have stood a chance if our Leadership was united and rallied moral. However they have only shown fear and chaos. My crew and I know how to slip out of a bad situation and we decided before it was to late we should stock up on all we can. We left the Avelmore Nebula for one last refit. We saw captains like Lance who was surprised to hear Knight is still alive. No doubt she will spread the word and people should be made aware. Lance and I parted ways and I do hope she survives out there.
We stocked up on what was left over in the armory and mess hall. We have enough supplies to get us through the next few months if we ration it out. That's if everything goes according to plan, which never really happens. We will lose our Insurgency Identifier and slip back into the Avelmore Nebula until we can sort things out. Our best chance is to lay low, keep power consumption to a minimum and gather information. We have been through worse conditions but as always we will get through this.

After hearing all the radio chatter from the Insurgency in Vespucci I just didnt feel right not being there for them. The Insurgency was there for us and I could tell this was hurting my crews moral as well. I decided to join the front lines with the Insurgency one last time and I can surprisingly say while we lost a lot of good men and women, we were successfully able to destroy the state of the art Mitchell Overlord Delaware. While the Triton sustained heavy damage we were able to successfully repel the Liberty Navy's advance, at least for now.

I didnt expect our talks with the GC to bear any fruit considering from what we have learned in the past they are female only organization and they dont really take in outsiders. However I knew it could not be completely true since they work with the Outcasts and Dragons, so there has to be some wiggle room since both of those organizations have men. We sent out a communication asking for assistance and reluctantly they replied. It took a bit of convincing, I had to step in for the Captain because it was my idea that they would be more receptive to a female presence. As it turns out it seems I was right, they aided us and allowed us to operate within Kusari unhindered so long as we leave the Outcasts and the Cardamine trade alone. Which is acceptable to us since we dont really care about either. We will keep our head down and continue to gain the trust of the GC. The more allies we have the easier it will be to keep maintaining our Osiris. Suprisingly they have two Outcasts Cruisers at their disposal which I was not counting on. It seems there is more than meets the eye with these Chrysanthemums.
