"Mr Alvarez, first let me say that the people of this proud Nation is proud to have a fine outstanding young man willing to step up and fight for their freedoms which the Coalition treasures above all else. I know your father, served under him and beside him in Combat, I am sure that he would also be proud to see his son is willing to step up and fight for the cause.
Therefore Mr Alvarez I will allow your transfer to the Fighter Corps "Active Duty" roster, you will first undergo basic training in a Insurgent-Class vessel with myself and another pilot who will be revealed at the time of your training and from there the fate of if you are suited to active duty will be decided based upon your performance.
Once more let me say that the Sirius Coalition is proud of you and reminds you that there is no shame not being on the front lines should you not be able to pass inspection, for there are always other ways you can help the Coalition's cause."

Subject: Initiation
For the Revolution Comrades. Today, I and Sub Lieutenant Alvarez undertook the traditional initiation mission to Omicron Alpha. We flew through the Omegas, Dublin, Megellan, Cortez, Baffin and through the Taus without much incident, nothing of note. Once in Alpha, we faced heavy resistance, I managed to secure a pod but in a distracted moment was hit by an Outcast Gunboat. Sub Lieutenant Alvarez managed to tug my ship and myself back to safety, and I have the pod secure.

Salud, camaradas!
Redemption comes in many forms.
Truly the Havana has risen, her sword glistening again ready to drive into the heart of the enemy.
With what remains of our crew, we set out from Evora shipyards after the Order refit... a wonderful job, but I will be glad for our engineers to give the ship a stem to stern sweep. There are many of our systems that are still off line, and I would prefer the ship be in top fighting form once again.
The Ship has been outfitted by the Order with 10 MkII Order turrets, as per my specifications. The weapons needed to be tested, and what better proving ground than the Omegas.
With the CPW-Lithuania running escort, we were able to surprise an AI Harvester 03, quickly felling it with the formidable weaponry of the ship. We encountered a cruiser and a Legate as well, but not eagre to press the ship into combat with only a skeleton crew and half completed repairs, I felt it best to withdraw.
The Havana is once again in the dry dock at Mykolaiv, Doctor Xiaobei assures me that she will be in fighting form shortly.

"Comrades, today we embark upon a new Campaign against the corrupt houses. As I am sure each and every one of you is aware, the Imperialists of the Bretonian Royalty seek to destroy us while fighting a futile war against the Kusari Empire, we shall show these tea-sipping fools that we are not to be scoffed at.
Therefore we shall conduct operations within the House of Bretonia, striking at any BAF, BPA and HMS vessel we come across, any man or woman who takes down the Admiral of the Bretonian Armed Forces will receive a commendation of merit in their personal file and my utmost respect as a Combat Pilot.
Fight Hard Comrades, Fight to Win, Fight for our glorious Coalition which these Bretonians want to destroy so badly!"

Salud, camaradas!
Commandante,
It will be as you require, once my task force is equipped, set and ready, we will set off to hunt down what remains of the BAF, considering that they lost most of their best fighting the Kusari and the Mollys… and that the second rate officers are hardly terrifying:
The Bretonian Government’s dregs are no threat to the Revolution. A push into Bretonia now could topple their precarious grip on power, and give breathing room to the Revolution.

Subject: Tau Recon
For the Revolution Comrades. Today, I and Sub Lieutenant Alvarez, along with an Order pilot codenamed Pheonix undertook the task you had given to us. Thorough recon of the Taus in the search for finding a good base site to build. We flew all around the Four main Tau systems of 37,23,29 and 31. Here's a system by system report.
Tau 37
This system is a very likely candidate due to the presence of large Asteroids which are suitable for construction. They can be moved. However, Outcast activity is high in the system, so there may be a risk involved. All the same, it is one of the best locations for us to construct, there is an isolated Asteroid field which could be useful.
This system is a bloody mess. War in all directions, and Outcast activity is very high here. There are large rocks presence, but I couldn't find a single rock large enough to hollow a base in. We could use the smaller rocks together to make a base, but that would make the task difficult. Also, the system is very small so it is almost impossible to keep our installation undetected. This system is highly unviable for base construction.
This system is very big. It took us a while to cover this one, and due to it's large size could be useful for construction of a base in a corner. It is also the site of Extensive Kusari movements against Bretonia, and there are no Asteroids of large enough size available, although the smaller Ice Asteroids can be welded together. High Command can consider this site as viable but it will be difficult. We have also located a Jump Hole to Tau 29 located in the system, along with a Hole to NewCastle, Bretonia.
This system is rather quiet considering the Taus as a whole. There are no viable Asteroids here to construct a base, although again, rocks could be welded together. I will leave Superiors to decide here, this system is confusing.
