3 days ago an old friends Jack and Aaron met again on Toledo,where Jack was looking for his new crew among the freshly promoted officers at Order Primary Fleet Academy.
A close friend of Captain Osborne,Aaron arrived in Order together with Jack.
They were good friends back in past,while they still lived on Crete,but in Order,they split up due to different interests.
Jack applied for Primary Fleet fighter pilot,while Aaron took a different direction in Commanding a capital class ship.He was Captain for few months on recon cruiser Yamanu.
In meanwhile Jack got several promotions,due his loyalty and affection,so he got Captain rank in Primary Fleet,which granted him access to commanding Battleship class vessel.
Jack always had secret desire to fly capital ship,but due his rank restrictions,he never wanted for others to know that,until he gets proper rank for it.
Yamanu got heavly damaged in several battles,and currently is on repair docks in Evora.
with the mutual agreement it has been arranged that after repairs Yamanu will be transfered in command to Colonel Matthew Carter.
After a long talk between Jack and Aaron ,they come to agreement to command a battleship together for good old times.
In one of the construction docks in Evora,there was one battleship nearly finished whose's construction began 3 months ago.After getting Admiral Seith pernission to command battleship together Jack and Aaron took shuttle to Evora to oversee finishing operations on vessel which they decided to call Kheops after ancient Earth Egyptian king.
Aaron's former crew on Yamanu will be joing him on Kheops.
As Jack is more experienced and with better Commanding skills,he will be Captain of Kheops with Aaron Taggart as second in charge.
They proceed to Crew Registration and Ship Assignment Office on Evora,to report Kheops
1st Navigation,Communication,and Tactical officers.
Jack handed over the datapad with whole crew list and necessary infos about them:

Captain's personal logs: Date:September 06,09'
Well,it has passed several weeks now,since I am Captain of this fine vessel Kheops,crew is quite good,I am satisfied with them.
We have been in just one or 2 bigger battles,where Kheops luckly manage to stay in one part.
And from since that we are doing just some patrols around Minor and Delta.
Few days ago,we had some talk with Admiral Seith and rear Admiral Kelt about some longer patrols out of Omicrons.
Kheops has been assigned to one of longest one,all the way to Omega 49 and back.
I hope Zoners will be pleased to see such warship in their areas,it will guarantee security and peace in those systems.
Guess there won't be some major conflitcs on that route.
Ohh,yes and Kheops will be receiveing new armor and hull upgrades,one of the most advanced in Sirius.
,Well that's it for now.
End of log
supplement to the log:
We have successfully upgraded Kheops current armor upgrade to most advanced armor and hull upgrade in Sirius.
The class 8 series.Whole crew together with engineers at Evora worked hard for 10 hours,but I am sure it will pay off quicky.Now we have strength to confront Nomad capital ships.

Captain's log
Date:September 08,09'
Huh,finally in my cabine.It was a hard day for my crew.We have confronted large Rouge BHG fleet in Kappa,which foolishly even joined 2 order carriers,who are now on Kill on sight list.
Those rouge Hunters had quite of a fleet.
2 BHG BS with capital 8 series armor upgrades,1 BHG BC 2 rouge Order carrier.Well I guess those carriers can't call Order anymore.Nevermind,so Corsairs also heard about that Rouge fleet in Kappa,we coordinated our forces.Corsairs brought 1 Dreadnought and 2 bombers,while Order fleet were 2 Osirises including mine with several bomber escort.
As we arrived in Kappa,in agreement with Corsairs we attacked in same time from both sides.Apocalypse now was first to go down.Kheops haven't been in such big battle so far.2 Makos and 1 BC opened fire on Kheops,it was horrible,ship was shaking like leaf on water.But we did hell of a damage too.
Apocalypse now went down in few minutes under heavy fire,and we got them suprised by firing dual mortars in same time which crippled Apoclypse leader ship and he went down.
I haven't seen such destruction for long time,huh.So as their leader ship went down one more BS left,Cyclop Arga.Allthough Kheops was heavly damaged we managed to direct fire on that last BS,and damage it badly.But then our guns went down.2 rouge carriers were ripping our hull from distance and we had to abandon ship.
My god,to see such fine ship got crippled....my heart was braking.
Uhh *deep slow breathing can be heard*
Alright,so Kheops have been draged to Evora,and currently is at repair docks.
Whole night passed after this battle,I couldn't pull my self together before.
I spend half of the night at Evora,overseeing and helping with necessary repairs to keep the pressure in ship and getting engines online again.
So,I expect that repairs will be finished till end of this day.Those Apoclypse ship represent great danger and I need to have ship ready as soon as possible if they come to Minor.
An secret message camed from Zoners over secure channels about BHG Core fleet doing some experiments in Omicron Lost,as we know they want Nomad technology,we gathered a Fleet under command of Rear Admiral Kelt and me to see what is going on there.
We mobilized fleet under lead of Kheops,it's nice to see whole fleet in formation with your ship.
As we arrived in Lost BHG has prepared a suprise for us,1 BHG BS with capital 8 armor upgrade series,2 Battlecruisers and wing of bombers and fighters.
As we were outnumbered by capital ships,we call in another BS support Anath.
And the battle has begun.
We opened fire on BS Verloc causing it great damage and with help of Anath we took it down.
But that ship managed to hit us aswell pretty bad with help of 2 battlecruisers and several bombers.
We susptained heavy damage,but when Verloc went down there were still 2 capital standing,as I ordered Lt. Webber to turn ship around,we faced a full battlecruiser fire,but there were no match for Osiris and in few minutes we took it down.
Another BC was there,but it was crippled by Anath and our bombers,so we just fired few finishing shots.
BHG bombers were hitting Kheops with Nova torps and snac shots,so we had to retreat,luckly we were near jump hole,so we managed to escape,but with heavy damage,ship barely managed to hold together in jump,and as soon we arrived in Delta we lost one part of engine,and with it capability for cruise speed.
Emergency shut downs and locks saved the ship from decompression.
We reached Evora 4 hours later,and at the moment we are still there finishing repairs.
Crew is exshausted,me aswell,I gaved them few hours off to get some rest,sadly we can't efford more then that.
So,guess this is it. End of log
Suplement to the log
Just remembered,we installed several days ago newest recording camera for battle reports and to record enemy fleet tactics and movements.
Here is first video which was made in that battle: Video record----13_06_09
Today we received a transmission from Blood Dragon Danieru about several Wilde and Nomad specimens in his cargo hold which he managed to capture.As his ship wasn't suited to transport such cargo,we set the interception course and met him in Alaska,as he arrived through Ellesmere.
After handing over Wildes and Nomads,pilot got onboard Kheops for scans of Nomad infection,but he was clear.Specimens were closed and secured pretty good,and didn't have influence on pilot.
I got suprised by his courage to capture those things and give them to Order.After examination,we headed to Isis,as his gunboat required refuel and rearming.
Kheops escorted him through Omicron 92 to Tohoku,where he continued to his home system.
We returned back to Minor and went to Lisbon station in Omicron 100 to hand over specimens in research facilities.
That Blood Dragon was talking about their wars against Nomad threat and that they are coming closer and closer to their home system,but so far we did not get any major reports about it.
Guess we should keep an eye on Nomad activity in Kusari.I have a bad felling about it. End of log
---Opening channel - Order Primary Fleet battle reports---
Kheops ship log:
At our usual patrol to Delta,on route to Kappa JH we intercepted BHG Mako class battleship,their Captain was eagier to make us leave that area,he threaten my ship with destruction.As I wasn't in mood to listen threats to my ship,and it was quite obviously that he won't let me leave,we engaged him,we recently changed our loadout with mounting new more powerful turrets.Our tactcs and weapons officer Commader Demarco learned quickly how to use them,and after few minutes that mako was on his knees,new guns teared it apart.We had gun cam recording the fight for reports:
As we returned to Minor we headed for Evora for minor repairs.
But it was't calm for long.Just as we returned to Minor,Apoclypse Now camed with Rain GS escort.Seems he was there only because of me.With one cruiser and sekhmet support we engaged him and destroyed quickly with minimum damage to Kheops.Gun cam was recording battle aswell:
