⧫ ENCRYPTION: Order-EC[L] Patrol Report
Reporting back from my extensive patrol of the Sigma systems. Throughout the six systems several factions are still major influences; GMG, Rheinland, Kusari, Outcasts and Corsairs, these are found in almost all of the systems with but a few exceptions. Of exceptional note was the Niigata Star City in Sigma-59. A giant megastructure of a space colony; effectively an entirely self sufficient space colony. The technology that went into the construction and support of that station could potentially enhance our own efficiency with food production or perhaps even station construction.
The patrol itself was rather uneventful; no hostile engagements. Most traffic through the systems were in the more known Sigma 13, 17 and 19 systems. In particular a lot of Kruger, Samura and GMG vessels. These conveys generally transported ores from Rheinland to Kusari and back. The surveillance took place under the cover of stealth thanks to a cloaking device.
On a final note, while passing through an explosive gas field my engines started malfunctioning. I called upon an old contact who swiftly and with no neglible risk to himself brought me some military engines from Rheinland as a replacement. The Rheinland engines are currently still fitted on my vessel and are proving to live up to expectations.
Several objects have interest that I found during the patrol have been handed over to the Armory on the Thebes.
