Following the fulfilment of our 100k Xeno Relics deal with Geneva Shipping Platform, I decided to load my ship with Artifacts. I've been informed that our Unioners contacts on Davos ware looking to update their stock, so I took the liberty of shipping two whole batches there. On the way back, I've heard there is some important construction projects in progress on Rhodes, so I took 2 batches of Molybdenum from the GMS stations in Zurich. I hope they are put to good use. I've attached the delivery reports below.
Today in the skies above Crete, our home-defense fleet, aided by the Cimitarra Company, engaged a raiding force, composed and orchestrated by the corrupted minds and people of Malta. The combined skill and firepower of our 2 fleets was enough to repel this new pathetic attempt from Malta to injure our nation.
Overall our forces suffered moderate losses, with 3 battlecruisers destroyed, and heavy damage sustained to my ship, and the CNS-Diablo Inferno. Both ships have been admitted to repairs on Tripoli and Rhodes. For the Outcasts, we have deduced that they lost 5 capital ships and one Gunboat, but more accurate information may come to light as we pick through the wreckage for anything valuable.
Our Praefect cruisers performed excellently, first holding off the Maltese until reinforcements arrived, and then leading the charge when the time to counter attack came. Our battleships also proved their worth, being responsible for most of the damage done to enemy capitals, and even the Prox participated in the defense.
In conclusion, we bore witness to yet another clash between our forces, and another demonstration of our Imperio's strength and resilience. We repelled the enemies forces, and helped avenge a few of those who have died in the defense of our nation, and the Cimitarra Company continues to earn and wear its reputation with pride. The Outcasts and their traitorous allies may have struck at our Empire at Freeport Nine, at Reincarnation, and now once again in Gamma, but we have stood strong, and will continue to do so for as long as there are foes foolish enough to oppose us.
Esteemed Conclave, I bring news about the Omicrons,
For the past 48 hours, turbulent forces have caused changes in the space around the Omicron systems. A small team was assembled to go around and update our star maps. One worrying discovery in Omicron Theta was a Rheinland battlecruiser "Trier" stationed in a remote lava field nicknamed "Cauca". It did not respond to any hails and immediately opened fire. It appears to be guarding two anomalies, one smaller and yellow in color which emits extreme energies that could tear a ship apart, the other resembles a jumphole and has magnetic and gravimetric readings. This is how the battlecruiser got into the system.
On the other side of the jumphole we emerge into a massive hazard field. Rheilanders call it "the Suhl". It reduces scanner strenght three fold and you must fly a specific path to move in this field. The energies when straying away from this path are so strong it vaporizes any vessel faster than a person can blink. Nomad lifeforms move in this field together with regular rheinland and civilian vessels, most definitely infected.
Exiting the Suhl the team found the wrecks of a space station called "Valhalla" in the middle of the system. The wreck was shrouded in some field and debris that blocks out most light from the two stars. Another find, close to a fiery Gas giant and its only moon there is a jumphole connecting to the Dresden system.
Our expedition concluded in an asteroid field surrounding one of the stars. The fragments appear to come from a planet in the field that had been blown to pieces. There is also some Bundschuh vessels that we managed to tag inside the field, perhaps they have a base hidden deeper inside. The team made is safely back to Omicron Theta and a second expedition is on the way to uncover the rest of what this new system has for us.
Below this report I will attach pictures with the coordinates for these points of interest. Please inspect the file carefully members of the Conclave

Multiple scouts and patrols reported the presence of Outcast fleets roaming the area between the Omicron Alpha and Sigma-17 jump holes in the Omicron Theta system recently. Therefore, we have dispatched a joint fleet composed of both The Deterrence and The Brotherhood vessels led by the CNS-Olympos, under my command, to further examine the situation in that area.
It turned out that the reports were indeed correct and we encountered an Outcast fleet consisting of a Battlecruiser, two Destroyers as well as multiple Gunships, Bombers and Fighter squadrons. Thanks to our well-equipped fleet and exceptional pilots and commanders, we were able to eliminate the enemy fleet without conceding major losses. In the aftermath of the battle, we have secured Prototype Components together with the blueprints for a novel weapon system called ‘Novaspear’.
The blueprints have been transported to Deterrence Sanctum for further examination and construction of this newly acquired weapon system. If successfully constructed, the 'Novaspear' is intended to be mounted on the CNS-Olympos for initial testing.
I attached images of the our dispatched fleet and the encountered enemy fleet as well as the obtained blueprints for the Novaspear weapon.
I bring to you with great jubilation some news regarding the 3 Hels now known as Kantara, Kolossi, and Kyrenia. The only thing left to complete for the ships is the weapons, which I have ordered and which now require resources and parts we are currently short on. Apart from the weapons, everything else is complete, and the ships are ready to receive their crews. As for said weapons, here is what I will need for them, upon the acquisition of the required materials we can make the weapons and finish this project. It would be greatly appreciated if our logistics sector could manage gathering what we can using our connections, after that we can take what we cant otherwise buy using force.
- 10,000 units of Energy Field Equipment
- 12,500 units of Munitions
- 8,000 units of Nano-Capacitors and Nano-Tubes
- 9,000 units of Gold
- 9,000 units of Platinum
May our Empire's ingenuity and creative genius never be lost to us! Sgt. Alfonso Cornelius

I have finally recuperated from my injuries suffered during our attempt to establish a forward outpost in Dublin. Turns out even rats can become deadly when cornered. But the past is just that, past.
The reason I'm writing is that activity in the area got a lot hotter the past few days. It appears Bretonians plan on getting back into the game, lots of BMM and BAF alike made their way here recently and managed to set up station by name of 'Lisheen' in the system despite fierce resistance from Molly side. This turn of events is exceptionally advantageous to us, with Mollys and Bretonians being back to bleeding each other dry, as well as increased commercial traffic in and out of the system, we have another chance to set up an outpost of our own, or simply plunder gold mined by others as our own.
I'm formally requesting reinforcements to be sent ASAP to take advantage of this window of opportunity in whatever capacity the Conclave sees fit.
Glory to Crete, Glory to the Imperio! Praetor Lucah Samaras
I am happy to hear from you'r recovery, it has been a long time since I did not heard from you. I am sure you have plenty of aventuras to tell, can't wait to sit in the bridge of the Santisima Trinidad and to share a cold glass of rum añejo with you.
I heard from the actual situation in Dublin, and that are gorgeous news, I have not been in the first wave in Dublin, my predecessor who flew the Trinidad was before me, but I am full of hope that we will rupture they'r lines and we will get a nice price from those god damn ratas. I ask you to be safe, please, the flotilla is about to depart with all his force to Dublin, the Santander will a full fleet as reinforcement.
We will take you guys out from there, and establish a route from Crete to Dublin, hold tight, your hermanos are on the way.
Salut.
<Always at your service, Deterrence> Santiago del Olivar
Our logistics pilots have been doing their best to provide the materials, despite the los Dublina Operation being a hog of attention.
Look! We are reduced to sending inferior civilian Peregrine frigates, resulting in a mostly complete shipment.
I have already dealt with the operator in question, do not worry.
Fresh Corsair Frigates are en-route to replace the junk he was flying.
The High Command of the Deterrence & Sergeant Tito
Gracias Sergeant Tito, the transport containing the last munitions arrived earlier today on Crete. Indeed it brought me joy to see a vessel from The Brotherhood helping with this. Though we belong to different clans, Cretes warriors still stand together as brothers.
The construction of Torrelavega has flooded Cretes markets with gold, it was not particularly hard to obtain what we needed. Shipments of gold have been pouring in, though I have heard rumors of massive quantities of gold being shipped by the vermin on both sides of the Dublin war. Good for them, more trade for them means more opportunities for us.
Finally, I have organized the delivery of Platinum, about 4450 units have been delivered, and the rest will be done by the end of the week. I will also look into procuring the necessary Energy Field Equipment.
The last of the Platinum form Noshima Freeport just arrived on Crete just 3 hours ago, quite ahead of schedule and with some extra too. For the other 3 resources, I will be asking our allies in Omicron Mu for the required Energy Field Equipment, Nano-Capacitors, and Nano-Tubes. Nothing else to add here.
