This is Willows reporting to High Command.
I have now returned from the "exclusive" assignment given to me by Admiral Phelps.
As ordered, I went to outfit the ships supplied to me yesterday evening, a Ravenclaw, a Guardian and an Avenger.
Since the ships were waiting in Fort Bragg on Planet Manhattan, I decided to take a closer look at the old Southern Alliance storage facilities located there, thinking I might find some useful equipment.
To my surprise there were three old (and rather shabby looking) Armored Transports with Southern Alliance markings left standing in a far away hangar.
Thankfully I had ample time left to check them out even further, and I found all three to be in operational condition, so I made sure that they get all repaired and upgraded to current standards.
To prevent wasting any unneccessary resources, I suggest that until we get the new storage and supply vessels delivered from Norfolk we use those three transports to store and deliver any valuable equipment.
Also, as if three fully functional ships wasn't enough already, the first of the three transports had a cache of weapons still inside it's cargo hold.
Closer inspection revealed that the weapons still left were eight PB91 "Buckshot" Bounty Hunter Particle Blasters.
I have made sure that these get dusted off and well maintained in case it would be decided to distribute them to our Pilots.
