[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]Our glorious leader Alvin Katz has seen fit to promote me to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
[color=#FFFF00]What this will mean to you is that I will be taking a very active stance within our fighter corps. Our H-Fuel miners are a few weeks away from being fully activated, therefore, we require to do more deep raids to the Okinawa system. I will be leading the raids on an ad-hoc basis throughout the week. We cannot develop a pattern which may give enemy patrols an advantage.
As you are aware, we have a number of new recruits within our ranks - My next priority is for everyone to begin full combat training maneuvers. We must keep our skills honed and our knives sharp.
You all should know what I expect from you as officers and soldiers. If you don't, it will be swiftly reminded to you.

[color=#FFFFFF]Soldiers of the Coalition.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]Another good raid, another good victory.
[color=#FFFF00]I began my patrol alone in the Chester system, seeking a lone Order recon cruiser. Unfortunately, I did not find it so pulled back to Omega-47 where I found a lone Corsair freighter! I couldn't believe my luck, and immediately sent my hostile challenges. His evasive action was pathetic and my CD got him out cruise speed. I made light work of the little freighter. Hopefully, it makes a dent to the Corsair supply runs.
Senior-Lieutenant Bernard then joined me as we patrolled the northern Omega's where we found a Corsair Gunboat heading out from Freeport 1. We chased it down, but it managed to jump to Cambridge. Luckily, it was taking it's time over docking, and on the other side of the Cambridge hole - Again my CD hit true. Bernard and I then started hammering the 'sair gunboat. It managed to jump to Leeds - however again, it could not escape. It cowardly attempted to use the trade lane to get to Planet Leeds, and tried to cruise away when it clearly could see it would not win. We showed it no mercy. There will be no mercy or quarter given to the Corsairs.. Never.
My thanks and commendation to Senior-Lieutenant Bernard for excellent work in double teaming the gunboat.

Privet, comrades!
Yesterday we have received new orders from the High Command. Our mission was a propaganda mission now. This one was different from the others because we had to stay away from combat. We were ordered, not to shoot while we're on the mission. We have reached Liberty through Bretonia quite fast and jumped to the New York system. Comrade Captain Lanakov, Comrade Lieutenant Bernard were present on the mission too. As soon as we entered New York, we headed upwards in order to find a safe spot, which has no interference, so the transmissions can be received clearly.
When we started transmitting the propaganda, the civilians started to shout in their transmitters in order to silence us. We have expected this, since the libertonian authorities turned most of the civilians against us. They got bored of their childish shouting and started listening to our words. We were asking them about the conditions in Liberty. The prices of certain things on which their lives depend. Of course, they said it's fine and they feel good where they are, they don't need -our- help. Meanwhile, the authorities have launched a group of fighters and gunboats to find us. When we received the signals of them, we moved a few clicks away and continued our duty. The libertonians aren't that determined and desperate people. After 15 minutes they stopped searching and turned their comms off.
Our first interesting contact was a person, or entity named Fran. The "entity" term is used because we don't know wheter it's human or not. We were talking about differences of the humans when he joined the communication. He claimed that humans are worthless and have no logic at all. In his opinion, machines should replace all of our kind, so there would be peace in Sirius. We disagreed of course and started a discussion about the good old Humans vs. AI topic. While machines can act more logical, they have no morality. They haven't got emotions, neither feelings. Let alone, personality. They are just machines who are controlled by a central core-mind or by a person who uses them as a tool for reaching their goal. They're actions are based on dozens of algorythms. They cannot think by themselves and that's the point. Humas can. Humans are creative, have feelings, personality and will find out something if they are endangered by some kind of an AI. Some people might say that AIs can evolve too, just like humans. Well that's true. That's why we can't let them take the lead. If AIs were more clever than us, we'd not exist now. Fran continued talking about it's plans. It's planning to make a cyborg-army or something like that, named the "Chrome Revolution". It's first target would be Liberty. Comrade Lanakov noticed a possible political ally in that Fran, but I disagreed. He could have been some kind of an LSF controlled drone, or LSF agent whose goal is to trick us and therefore trap us. I told my opinion to Lanakov and he agreed. We can't trust random people whom we can't see. The vessel's transmissions faded after a few seconds and we did not receive more from it.
While we were discussing with Fran, some LNS tagged ship tried to shoo us away through the comms. I told him that the Alliance is trying to turn everyone against us. He replied with this statement: "The Alliance does not exist." I responded: "If there still is a Coalition, there will be an Alliance too." I was surprised because he agreed on this one. Meanwhile we managed to get some informations of his ship. It was a gunboat class vessel, named LNS-Kirkland. Ship of the 9th Strike Wing. The ship's captain was different from the other libertonians. He was eager to hear my opinion about things and replied with respect. For some reason, Comrade Captain Lanakov and myself thought that we've got a new recruit. We realised that he's libertonian, but his attitude and intelligence was respectable. I do think that he will contact the Coalition soon.
This would be all in a nutshell, comrades.

[color=#FFFFFF]Soldiers of the Coalition.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]Show your respects to the newly promoted Senior Lieutenant Aleksei Stroganov.
[color=#FFFF00]I expect the same level of dedication and commitment to the cause you have already shown. Do not fail the Coalition comrade.
Access to the Storm gunboat is granted
We also welcome back Nitchiev Lanakov who rejoins us at the rank of Captain. I insist that all Coalition pilots listen to the expert advice of Captain Lanakov.
The mission was clear, meet with comrade Viatcheslav and make the way to omicron Alpha.
The way there was no problem, we didnt have any complications. Their response to the presentation of our goals was as expected
Hostile, stupid and foolish.
Here are some examples of their hostile and blind behavior towards the noble goals of the almighty Coalition:
Scull-Avenger: Scull dont listen to other goals then them from outcast
Alec.Mason: No facts , no Truth , Just bloodshed
Alec.Mason: But the coalition don't own the truth
Vincenzo.Santorini: What is this Coalition thing? Another group of lawful traders?
Vincenzo.Santorini: Come here and taste my gunfire.
Vincenzo.Santorini: Did you just cough? Got a rare disease on Canaria? I hope you die.
Vincenzo.Santorini: Get used to it. You're not welcome here.
Vincenzo.Santorini: You guys have mouth, but no courage.
As we were told not to fire a shot, we couldnt silence that one. I hope, next time we will be given the oportunity to not just tell them about our power and truth, but also show them that we are not the ones who deserve to be made jokes of.
Some of them were willing to listen...
[212th]MNS-Burakreis: Cpt. Hizir: Please calm down, we listen
I hope, at least some of their kind start to think about what we said there, so the mission wouldnt be useless.
I wont stop trying to convince people that we are talking about the truth and our goals are true.

People of the Coalition.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]Our glorious Premier Alvin Katz has appointed me as his deputy in order to oil the wheels of Government. I solemnly take this oath to serve the people and the party in all that I do.
[color=#FFFF00]I have worked tirelessly for the people in my old role at the Ministry of Plenty, and as a final leaving gift - The final shipment of parts for the CPS Shanghai have been delivered. None other than my nephew, Lt Colonel Ling onboard the CPW-Xi'an, ensured that the specialist parts were delivered safely. They are now currently being installed into the Shanghai, and Sevastopol Depot will soon be accepting regular deliveries of H-Fuel once more! Our expert engineers assure me that within a couple of weeks, we will be at full fuel generating capacity. I reassure the people, that you will be able to drive your cars and transports without the constant fear of running out of fuel.
The final shackles are coming off from the mad reign that was the Volkhan era. Our output is beginning to reach pre-Civil war levels. Once these levels are reached, we will again start our expansion plans. Again, I reassure the people that our priority is to restore JiangXi to it's former glory.
I send this next message to our brave men and woman, fighting the forces that violently repress the people's will.
[color=#FFFFFF]There is no honour amongst traitors. The people of the Coalition demand revenge.
And so ends my political broadcast for this evening. I hope that when the time comes, I have much more greater news from our brave forces bringing forth the Red Dawn.

[color=#FFFFFF]Premier Katz and members of the Politburo.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]Your orders were followed to the letter. We had a measure of revenge against the Order.
[color=#FFFF00]I kept the involvement from your... aquaintances... from the strike force until we had entered the Omicron systems. While the group was highly uneasy about having Nomad-Infected humans in the same system as us and having orders *not* to shoot them - They were carried out none the less.
A Geb was destroyed, An Osiris heavily damaged and a Gunboat and several snub craft all put out of action. I had to rescue Recruit Forge's pod and Ivanov's as well, however for the loss of two easily replaced craft - It was mission successful.
I must admit, I was very scared we were walking into a trap when we left Omicron Delta. The Nomad-things were waiting for us. They babbled about family proving themselves and circles of hate.. It was.. disconcerting.
I suggest you guys making whatever deals you need to. "They" have agreed not to shoot us if we do not shoot them while the Order still exists. After that, who knows? Will they stab us in the back first?
Guten tag, comrades!
Today I received orders to report immediately to my Insurgent on the flight deck. After I had strapped in and taken off, I met Senior-Lt Angelo Bernard outside Zvezdny. He informed me that we were to spread the word of the Revolution to the people of Sirius, and to gather intelligence on cargo passing through Manchester. With this in mind, we set off for Bretonia.
We arrived without incident, and set up in between the New London jumpgate and Birmingham Station. It didn't take long for the first trader to arrive, and comrade Bernard was successful in dispelling the deceitful notions of our nature which he had been indoctrinated with by the propaganda of the Houses.
After not long, Recruit Leroy Baker joined us in our mission, just as we found the next corporate worker. A Cryer employee dropped out of the lane, and I took the opportunity to educate him about us and our ideals. He seemed sehr receptive; it is good to know that the misinformation the government feeds to the people is easily washed away by our truths!
Attached are some records of these encounters:
Comrades! I bring with me good news!
Myself, Lieutenant Lukas and Recruit Baker headed to New Berlin. Probes indicaded that there where several Military in the area, and after what they did to those miners in the Omegas, we had to do something.
At first we only found one Military, he was witha bounty hunter. We decided to take him out before he could call his little Military buddies. I told the military call-sign 'Zero' While Lt. Lukas and Recruit Baker handled the Bounty Hunter. As soon as I took out 'Zero' other Military, highly trained, joined the fight. The bounty managed to escape. Recruit Baker soon was crushed, fortunatly I grabed his pod. lt. Lukas then was the target, fortunatly some Hessians jumped to New Berlin right in time. They also joined the fight, after a while Lt. Lukas was destroyed, but he buyed us enough time to do massive damage to their lines, again, I grabed his pod. We were starting to turn the tide of the battle when an Ion Storm hitted my ship, but again, I managed to dodge one more barrier. As sson as my computers came back online, I saw that we had won the battle, the Military was running away, and we managed to get one more fighter.
