On orders from [color=#000000][BLANK] a joint recon operation was executed at 0115hrs 09.08.818 with Gold wing pilots G-[BLANK]-BETA-2 and G-[BLANK]-XI-7, operating alongside LSF agents [BLANK] and [BLANK] and Navy ensign J. Smith.
Objectives included:
[PRIMARY] Establish an understanding of The Joker's movements in the Omicrons.
[SECONDARY] Gain scans of Zoner vessel 'Persephone'
[SECONDARY] Determine intentions of Naval vessel LNS-Opressor in the Omicrons
[TERTIARY] Obtain 'Nomad' samples for research, to be delivered to [BLANK].
- Departed from Juneau
- Alaska and Minor traversed without contact
- Contact established in Omicron Delta with vessel 'Persephone'. Detailed scan unobtainable at this time.
- Contact established with target MU/97-TT 'The Joker'. Presence in Omicron Delta
confirmed. Vessel appeared to be docking with Freeport 11.
- Visual contact made with vessel LNS-Opressor. Intentions of the vessel are still unknown.
- Nomad samples gathered in Delta. Nomad presence seems to be far stronger in the galactic north of the system.
- Mission deemed a partial success. RTB issued.
Further notes:
Upon issuing the RTB order, scans were initiated of systems Omicron Delta and Omicron Minor, as per SOP. Multiple Order vessels were picked up in Omicron Minor, word of our presence presumably having reached them from agents on the Freeport.
Order admiral Osbourne contacted [BLANK] offerin safe passage through Omicron Minor to Alaska. This was deemed impractical due to the sensitive nature of the information carried on the wing's vessels.
Due to [BLANK]'s low fuel level, exit via an alternative route was impossible. Gold wing operatives scouted the jumphole and discovered Order vessels guarding it. Gold wing pilots set up a distraction, flying through the Order blockade to the system Omicron 100, drawing the order force to them, allowing [BLANK], [BLANK] and Navy Ens. J. Smith to pass through the Omicron Minor system unseen.
Hostilities were initiated between Gold wing vessels and order primary and secondary fleet forces (estimated two gunboat class, six fighter class) in Omicron 100 . One order vessel was destroyed in the engagement before the gold wing pilots disengaged and returned to the Alaska system persued by Order vessels.
Gold wing pilots defended the Libertonian side of the Alaska/Minor jumphole.
Data was safely retrieved as a result of the pilots' actions. Nomad remains have been delivered to [BLANK].
Recommendations:
- Continued observation of LNS-Opressor
- Scans of 'Persephone' to be gained by undercover vessels not bearing Navy comms insignia
- Continued Gold Wing observation of 'The Joker's opersations in the Omicrons.
