Agatha: Rough day today in Delta..I was on the nearby Freeport when the call rang out over several BHG Core vessels attacking Order Secondary Fleet pilots..Despite the tatics used by the BHG, We were able to down the BHG|Core-Retribution and the Armageddon, forcing them to burn over 8000 repair drones and battery supplies, and route out the [77th]Guardian...We lost a few numbers on our side, but the damage inflicted was more then enough to make up for the loss.

Right, this is my first pilots report and it may not be a very good one as I'm back on duty in about 6 hours, so I apologise if this seems rushed.
Myself, along with Captain Leigh and Captain D'Angelo started off from Omicron Minor toward Liberty via Alaska, we were joined shortly after beginning the journey by Captain McCormick. Avoiding the trade lanes and the patrols, we monitored trade lane traffic for a short while. Finding New York to be unusually quiet, we decided to scout around Pennsylvania. Again, it was very quiet, we passed a couple of miners which was the most life we ran into in Liberty.
We decided to pay a visit to the Nomad structure in Newcastle. Much like Liberty, it was very quiet and the only other pilots we passed were the occasional smuggler.
Once we reached the Nomad structure, we noticed several smaller satellites outside of the shield of the main structure. In an effort to bring down the shield, we destroyed as many of the satellites as we could but one of the satellites was much more resilient than the others and we lacked the firepower to destroy it. Deciding we could not bring down the shield, we decided to hamper the Bretonian research into the Nomad structure by disabling some of the research stations systems. We managed to disable several systems including the weapons, communications and sensors. I have no doubt that they'll be repaired very soon.
After repairing, refuelling and rearming at Freeport 4, we headed back to Omicron Minor where we offloaded the ejected pods of the occasional Bretonian and Liberty patrols that would have given our position away.
I tried to take more images, but the guncam was damaged at some point, I'll try and get it fixed before my next flight.
Secondly, a bloody weird event; A pirate showed up in Minor with Outcast IFF, would not respond to the first warning or warning shot, he tried to fight back but all he could do was dodge, lest he be destroyed.
The little bugger flew into Omicron-100 to escape us, we chased him until he docked on the Battleship Apophis!

Just a short message.
If any operatives or pilots manage to encounter a pirate with the callsign Bald.Pirate, could you do a scan of their ship? He managed to land on the Battleship Apophis and it'd be nice to know that he didn't manage to steal any Order tech or armaments. I followed Admiral Collister to Theta where we were told by [77th]Hunter that the pirate wasn't carrying any of our tech, while I'm inclined to believe him, I'd rather hear it from another Order pilot than from a Hunter.
Oh I'd also like to mention that an old Zoner friend of mine from Freeport 11 said he saw an Order ship with the callsign SimonGR that had six Nomad Energy Blasters equipped.

My shift started with a fight, a pirate with the callsign Silent.Fury, he refused my overly polite request to leave as well as a generous second warning from Admiral Collister. Within seconds of charging his weapons, he destroyed the ship of a secondary fleet pilot, at which point myself and the Admiral engaged. My ship was crippled as I stupidly drifted into one of his mines. As far as I'm aware, Silent.Fury is still alive.
When my ship was sufficiently patched up, I launched to find myself a part of a small wing of ships led by Admiral Collister, we headed to Delta where we came across a Liberty Navy gunboat that was carrying Nomad remains. After a long discussion and their constant refusal to hand the remains over to us. The next thing I know, we're in a battle. We suffered quite a few losses at the hands of the [77th]Guardian but we managed to destroy Atticus Rockford's ship, I'm not entirely sure how but he managed to launch within minutes from Freeport 11 and immediately re-engaged us. We also managed to destroy the Naval Gunboat and forced the Guardian to retreat. Atticus docked back on Freeport 11 and is probably hiding, the coward.
This was my first involvement in a proper battle, I'm quite surprised my ship survived where a few others weren't so lucky.
I must say, it has been a rather pleasant day today. It started off with a solid round of combat simulations with Commander Brian Scott, followed by a round of combat with a TCG pilot. Unfortunately I had to end our simulation before a victor could be decided as I received a report of a Bounty Hunter battleship at the Omicron Delta jump hole. I hastily docked my Bastet and launched the Firestorm. Together with TCG|Recharus and Lieutenant Lyle Marshall, we headed out in search of the threat.
Upon our arrival at the jump hole, we found nothing. We then proceeded to the Freeport, where we again found nothing. From here I ordered a search. Recharus searched Yaren, Marshall kept an eye out at the Freeport and I headed out to Dabadoru. None of us spotted anything, so we started to return to Omicron Minor. However, we just managed to pick up the ship before it disappeared into the nebula. We returned to the nebula to find the BH|Asiris moored with Dabadoru. It launched a couple times, but the commanding officer must have realised it was too dangerous to take us on and so he remained within the protective shielding of the station. Seeing it as futile to wait around for the Bounty Hunters, we returned to Omicron Minor.

Salve, esteemed colleagues!
This is a memorandum to all Order personnel to inform you that the CFC Research Branch has finally been able to acquire a civilian cargo vessel to act as its storage, supply and transfer capability.
The vessel is a used Civilian Heavy Tanker, or 'Titanic', named the 'Scientific Harvest' and will be captained by Antoinette Sarus, who has been running supplies to Order facilities for several years now.
This ship will be used to:
- Transfer expedition supplies procured from other systems to depots on the surface of Toledo or other locations
- Ferry scientific equipment and materials to and from Order installations
-- This includes alien samples and artefacts
Given that our supply ship must be able to traverse Sirius House Space unhindered to procure supplies or reach some of the research facilities of the Order and our scientific collaborators, it was equipped with a fake ID.
To avoid detection and evade the military and police, the vessel will use an indeterminate house corporation ID, which will be changed periodically. For obvious reasons, the use of an Order ID, even a hidden one, is out of the question. It cannot, therefore, be identified simply by verifying the ship ID.
Instead we have embedded a ghost signature in the IFF transponder of the ship. This will allow ships using Order sensor and target acquisition systems to detect that the vessel on their sensors is ineed a CFC-controlled ship.
It is essential that the true agenda of the ship remain hidden from all outside parties. Therefore you are requested to:
- Allow the ship regular passage as any Order vessel
- If third parties (including allies of the Order) are present as witnesses
-- Do not, under any circumstances, identify the ship as an Order asset
-- Treat it as any other civilian intruder, i.e. demand an immediate retreat (Captain Sarus will comply to maintain her cover)
-- Similarly do not provide escort services or any other form of aid beyond those other neutrals may be given. An Order Escort would expose the ship.

Subject: The summary of yesterday's events.
Although I'm not a big fan of paperwork, what happened yesterday surely deserves
a report or even a few. Considering the number of events we've gone through I've
decided to make a brief summary of them all. Should someone want to concentrate
on specific event and add something, they're free to do so. Ok, here's the list.
SUMMARY BEGINS
1) Minor under attack / Rescue of Ensign Ward After some training with captain Stone I took a break on the Apophis. Then I
moved back to Minor to find out that it's being invaded. My scanners picked up
several Bounty Hunters Guild vessels, along with Mandalorians and the known
Black Navy Guard warship, Santo-Domingo (details of that invasion are unknown
to me, so someone else could clarify that).
Open engagement would have been pointless, besides, Captain Leigh had some
urgent business in the Alaska system. He ordered all fighters available to proceed
to Atum. We found out that Ensign Ward was trapped in Liberty, and Captain Leigh
was negotiating with Admiral Malrone of the Navy to get him back. However, Malrone
offered an exchange: Captain Leigh for Ensign Ward.
Naturally, nobody was going to let that happen, so our fighter wing was tasked with
drawing the Navy forces back without actually shooting them. The plan worked, so
we returned to Minor. No casualties on our side.
2) The return of Hieroglyph
After long waiting we have finally received the signal from Hieroglyph, one of our
recon cruisers that had been deployed in Chester. It would seem that the ion storms delayed
the signal. Admiral Golanski has assembled a small fleet and ordered the Hieroglyph CO to
proceed to the planet Gran Canaria, Omega-49. Captain Leigh took command of the Sarcophagus
and gave me a lift to Gran Canaria where I took command over Hieroglyph temporarily.
Then we were ordered to proceed back to Minor. The way was clear, apart from several
mercenaries who were the concern of our fighter wing.
3) The mercenaries
However, the mercenaries turned out to be a greater problem than we expected.
We received a distress call from our fighter pilots, who seemed to have trouble.
They had stayed behind covering the movement of the Sarcophagus and the
Hieroglyph. However, once some of our fighters jumped to Delta, we got news
that no more help was needed. In the meantime two uninvited individuals proceeded
to Minor. Naturally, we couldn't allow that to happen, Admiral Golanski didn't tolerate
their presence either. We were ordered to open fire, and order was executed.
4) Iota recon
Once the mercs were taken down, captain Leigh led us to Omicron Iota for deep
reconnaissance mission. Despite expected resistance, things looked calm until we
entered the clouds of Iota. Weapon platforms don't count, although they can make
significant damage. I'm sure that some people still have the guncams left. It deserves
a separate report (like all the events mentioned in this summary).
5) The retreat
Our way back from Iota turned out to be a lot harder than we expected. When we
ventured deep into Iota clouds, we must've got the attention of the nomads. They
dispatched a small fleet of lesser vessels to draw us back. Captain Leigh took the
decision to move back. However, the real problems began near the jump hole to Delta.
There we were spotted by a Keeper, and that meant a new level of trouble.
Where is one Keeper, there are many, and soon they have proven that. Once we jumped
to Delta, we were faced with two Keepers, and more showed up soon. They seemed to come
out of nowhere. Leigh ordered us to retreat and stayed with captain McCormick to detain
the Nomads. We covered his back in Kiribati Field and jumped.
6) The final stand
Well, that was... something. We seemed to have stirred the hornets' nest. A small fleet of
lesser Keeper vessels, accompanied by the Harbinger and... a Rheinland bomber? Anyway, it
was a small invasion force. I'm not sure how we managed to make it... yet I'm still alive.
I'm sure that someone has more data on that battle, I was too absorbed with combat.
END OF SUMMARY
Well, as you can see, there are plenty of events to be reported and archived. Should any of
you want to make a detailed mission report on any of the topics I've mentioned, be my guest. I'll forward
some of the data I've gathered to Commander Duke, so that he can arrange the media side of the
summary.

Location: Omicron Minor | CV-Hiigara
Evening fellow agents. Today we took the Hiigara out on a little delta shake down to get her out so much time in dry dock after the BNG attacks on her sure give her a beating . Once we arrived in Delta we patched our comm system to the Zoner Communication satalite. To monitor system communication when we located that there were problems at the freeport 11 once there we detected two unknown Sabre types with outcast teh and 3 order ships
and a Hunter Gunship.
One engaged the Hunter Gunship the other one of our agents. So I ordered one more of our agents to engage. One secondary agent wanted the third order fighter and the Hiigara to jump in. I denied that. To much waste on resources also We are installing a AI protocol unit on the Hiigara. We will Work with the Sajuuk and Oathkeeper to mouth it. it shod increase the efectevnise of the ship.
