Silver Westbourne reporting from various delivery and business operations,
We finished to bring the necessary supplies needed to finish the modules at Sark. Along with the Stixx, we flew over Picardy system, deep in Gallia. There worlds are beautiful and we have many opportunities with them. I am currently in Champagne system to find and shake the right hands for future business. For now, I've heard that there is a huge demand for all kind of minerals (Cobalt, Silver, Beryllium etc...). I will provide you more information once I will be back.
On another matter, I met a Samura trader on my way, near planet Harris in Tau 31. We had some nice talks about Zoners and Kusari but most important is his main activity : delivering any kind of resources that are available only at distant locations. It would be very useful for equipments we have to gather in Gallic systems for example. It would also reduces the risks we face in these long distance travels. Please find below his information Card, we can contact him for a test at any time.

Gentlemen ,
The first survey mission to look for Captain William have been achieved few days ago. Although we acquired very useful data, we paid a great price. We lost some of our men in this perilous mission. Let's not forgot their names. As you can see I also have been hurt and can't put my suit yet. I should recover quickly.
As a reminder, we received the last comm' from Captain Williams from the Omicron Minor as he was heading to Omicron Iota via a "strange Jump Hole".
The Cetus Polar and the Tauri met in Omegas to proceed a first Hyper Jump to Omicron Delta. We had to stop at Freeport 11 before progressing in the Omicrons to refuel the Tauri, you know... just in case. We didn't really knew what will wait for us there. But we can't let one of ours alone.
We pursued our way to Omicron Minor Jump Hole and docked to it. We knew the things were gonna be serious once we get there.
The Cetus Polar and The Tauri preparing to Jump to Omicron Delta
As soon as the Jump was completed, we entered the coordinates from where were sent William's last comm'. Through the way, we witnessed the ravages Nomads made to The Order.. Not a good omen. The Omicron Minor Edge Nebula crossed, we didn't need radars to understand what was the strange jump hole described by Captain William. A very weird and huge structure, definitely made by some intelligent being was in front of us.
We proceed to dock at the strange gate, and jump to the unknown.
At our arrival, we discovered an unknown system gathering many other visible structured with the style of the gate we docked to. We didn't identified any known signature in the area. We decided to head to a dense nebulae nearby. It could have disturb some frequencies. Once inside, we found nothing but other Alien structures. The atmosphere was tense, we didn't know where we were, what we were facing. We felt that the Aliens could jump on us at any moment.
Well we didn't wait long to see them. As soon as we left the nebulae, the Cetus Polar detected some known signatures... Nomads one. And guess which ones ? The two nomad ships that The Lyra Vega and The Stixx met in Omega 3, plus another fighter.
Anyway... that mission smelled bad from the beginning but we had no choice but to go.
Strangely. the Nomads didn't attack directly like they did before. On the contrary, they began to "talk" with us. It was a very strange sensation to communicate with an alien life-form. It was not really clear discussions, more a very strange feeling that encompasses you. On our side we were talking verbally and they seemed to react to what we were saying.
The exchange didn't last long thought. Rapidly, we felt their anger rising and the first strike was made.
The Cetus Polar was really not made for fighting. I avoided as much as I can the shots, flying around the Tauri. I eventually ended up to be destroyed. I could survive with one of my crew in the escape pod. The 3 others didn't made it. The Tauri tracked us before the Nomads shot us. I know we jumped back to Omega 3 and that the Nomad followed us but I lost consciousness then.
Meanwhile, I will buy another model of the Deep Explorer ship and modify it for a next mission. We will need to have more ships with us. I keep faith we can find back Captain Williams, or at least the story of his end.
Sincerely,
Silver Westbourne

Greetings: Sorry I was late to the party guys it sounds like the exploration mission was going fairly well until you hit Alien Hostiles. give me a heads up for when the next exploration mission is so I can join for some extra support. I fixed up the star message dump with a materials chart of what the bases need.

Silver Westbourne reporting from various transport operations,
We're currently finishing to bring the necessary parts and commodities for our new Cloaking Device workshop. The production should start soon as we already have some interested buyers for these equipments. This new module really is a smart investment. I've been flying along with Stixx for some runs, Bretonia space was a bit crowded but no danger at all neither supicious activity.
Maybe one thing. I detected a DSE transport in near Sark. I guess they built a base not so far from ours, but neither my radars and vision could detect any structure in the cloud. I will do more investigation later.
Another matter of high importance are our preparations for the second part of our survey mission to rescue Captain Williams. We are currently gathering more pilots and crew to accompany us, looking how last time we've been to Omicron Iota ended. You'll have the full report once we will be back home... I hope in one piece.

Silver Westbourne reporting from various operations.
I couldn't report earlier as I had a lot of missions going on. What a pleasure to be finally settled for few days at Freeport 1 with that beautiful view on the Bretonian nebulae. God... I love Omega 3.
Anyway, most of my flights have been involving bringing module requirements recently. As you know we are processing to major improvements. Our recent business operations with other factions made critical the need to consolidate Star and its logistical structure.
Most distant requirements have been delivered at 100% at Star but we are still missing some we can easily get in Newcastle system.
I also spent much time bringing basics base requirements through my different travels as soon as I could spare some time for this. I used different ships for these operations and didn't crossed the databases yet so I can't deliver the precise report, all my apologizes.
However, you ll find below the deliveries of this week as well as the missing module requirements for Star.

Finally, I am glad and thrilled to announce you that we successfully contacted AND convinced some Zoner faction to join us in our glorious goal to bring refugees to our worlds. Some of you are maybe not aware of this operation, I will shortly share on this channel more details.
For the ones already concerned, please note that the Temporary Autonomous Zoners [TAZ] (can provide escorts and passenger liners), the GSP |faction (can provide escort ships) and the [Zoner] group (we still need to determine their contribution) will join us. For these mentioned brothers and sisters, we still need to organize a formal meeting in space to discuss about the details. For now we just made a first contact and received a positive answer when we explained the situation.
We are still trying to ran into OSI and CoF ships before submitting an invitation to our journey. If we can't do it in the coming days and weeks, we will send directly some communication to their generic servers
That's all for now dear colleagues, brothers and sisters. Please have safe flights in your future missions.
