»Chronicles
Damascus Research Station, helmed by Dr. Raphael Chandler and the Order Science Division (O.S.D.), is an ambitious endeavor aimed at advancing research and development through the concerted efforts of a team of skilled scientists. Chandler's proposal to establish a research facility in the heavily guarded orbit of Akabat, known for its low risk of hostile incursions, was met with approval from the O.S.D. and construction began on April 12th, 827 A.S. by a crew of 200 engineers and specialized ships equipped for the construction and maintenance of space stations. Despite Chandler's close ties to the organization, proper documentation and a clear explanation of the station's purpose and unique mission were required before moving forward. The station represents a significant opportunity for advanced manufacturing and experimentation with Nomad technology, all kept confidential under the oversight of the O.S.D.
The initial phase of the Damascus Research Station's construction was completed with remarkable efficiency, taking only 72 hours to finish with the help of repair ships, base construction vessels, and a team of hardworking engineers numbering 200. During this phase, security within the sector was also increased with the deployment of capital vessels and various wings of bombers and fighters to counter any potential threats to the station. The first phase of construction included the successful establishment of the station and the installation of internal and external systems, including security protocols. The completion of this phase was estimated to take two weeks, with the involvement of essential space ships throughout the process. However, during the early stages of the second week of construction, the station unexpectedly came under attack from the Nomads. Fortunately, the administrator had already organized a formidable defense squad, ordered by the Order Overwatch, and was able to repel the Nomads' aggressive strikes, despite their stealthy and undetected breaches of the powerful defensive lines of Mu.
Despite the implementation of robust defensive measures, the Damascus Research Station suffered some damage during the aggressive assault by the Nomads, but was ultimately defended and preserved by the Black Fleet. As a result, the completion of phase one was slightly delayed, yet the foundation and essential vessels for construction remained intact. The intrusion by hostiles was unexpected, as the station was situated within the heavily guarded orbit of Akabat. Nonetheless, phase one was completed within 20 days, yielding a fully operational base without any damage that would impede research. With the successful defense, the O.S.D. immediately initiated numerous projects, including the expansion of storage capacity and enlargement of research labs, all in the pursuit of the prosperity of the station. Due to the significance of the installation to the organization, phase two was promptly initiated, focused on enhancing the capacities of internal chambers and strengthening the station's overall hull integrity.
With effort and resource allocation, phase two of the Damascus Research Station's development was completed within a critical month, fortifying the facility to the extent that the number of capital vessels required for patrolling the area could be reduced and re-deployed to other fronts. The Order Science Division (O.S.D.) had gathered ample supplies and successfully completed several projects. Dr. Raphael Chandler, who oversaw the project, was satisfied with the results and embarked on new projects with the assistance of experienced O.S.D. member E.F, who possessed scientific expertise. The invested effort yielded substantial returns, as the benefits of the station's expansion became evident over time. Subsequently, further phases of expansion are to be executed with the utmost caution and precision, based on statistical analysis of the previous events, with a focus on the establishment of surveillance, hyperspace, and survey factories, as well as defense systems in preparation for any unforeseen contingencies, while also reinvigorating research and development within the secure chambers, which are expected to be operational in the near future due to the high interest shown by the involved parties and scientists.
Dr. Raphael Chandler, with his expertise and leadership, orchestrated a formidable undertaking to significantly expand the Damascus Research Station. After several months of rigorous research and labor, aimed at meeting the objectives of the Order Science Division (O.S.D.), Dr. Chandler relinquished his role as Administrator and transferred ownership of the station to the O.S.D.'s High Command. This decision was a calculated one, as Dr. Chandler sought to pursue more specialized projects independently and found it challenging to effectively manage the entirety of the station. Nevertheless, his faith in the O.S.D.'s High Command is unwavering, as he has successfully established a solid foundation for the station and is confident in their ability to continue its growth and development.
The Damascus Research Station, under the guidance of the Order Science Division (O.S.D.), embarked on a journey towards its final phase of development. This phase was marked by the integration of advanced technological modules, expansion of existing facilities, and the attainment of peak operational capabilities. The process began with an extensive evaluation of the station's current infrastructure and identifying areas that required improvement. Based on this assessment, a comprehensive plan was devised to incorporate state-of-the-art modules, such as hyperspace systems, advanced surveillance systems, and cutting-edge research labs.
The construction of these new modules was a challenging task, as it required the coordination of various teams, including engineers, scientists, and technicians. The O.S.D.'s High Command closely supervised the progress of the construction, ensuring that the highest standards of quality were met. The use of cutting-edge construction techniques and materials, such as advanced composites and smart alloys, allowed for the efficient and rapid completion of the new modules. In parallel to the construction of new modules, the existing facilities of the station were also expanded to accommodate the increased operational capabilities. This included the expansion of storage capacity, the addition of new research labs, and the enhancement of the station's overall hull strength. The O.S.D.'s High Command also implemented advanced security protocols to protect the station from any potential hostile incursions.
As the construction progressed, the station's operational capabilities were gradually increased, and it reached its peak operational capabilities. The station was now equipped with futuristic systems, which allowed for faster and more efficient travel through hyperspace. The surveillance systems were also upgraded, allowing for real-time monitoring of the surrounding area, and the research labs were expanded to accommodate more scientists and technicians. The final phase of the station's development was marked by the successful integration of all the necessary high-tech modules, the expansion of existing facilities, and the attainment of peak operational capabilities. The O.S.D.'s High Command, under the direction of Dr. Raphael Chandler, can take pride in the fact that the station has become a premier research and development facility, capable of contributing to the advancement of science and technology in unprecedented ways. The station's success is a testament to the O.S.D.'s High Command's dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
OSD acknowledges invaluable contributions of Dr. Sally Wilson, whose masterful work was important in the final phase of the station's development. Dr. Wilson's expertise in advanced propulsion systems and research methodology, coupled with her leadership skills, played a crucial role in the successful integration of the high-tech modules and the expansion of existing facilities. Her tireless efforts and dedication were a driving force behind the station's attainment of peak operational capabilities. Furthermore, the success of the final phase of the station's development would not have been possible without the support and contributions of the entire fleet of the Order Science Division. The engineers, scientists, and technicians worked diligently to bring the station to its feet and build a strong foundation, their expertise and professionalism were vital to the realization of this ambitious project.

"I remember vividly as if it were yesterday, when the Nomads miraculously managed to penetrate our most stringent lines of defense, albeit in small numbers, unfortunately, to plot a frontal assault on Damascus. I was there, I must say, I enjoyed turning them into cosmic dust every now and then. When their disgusting purple blobs were scattered across my ship, I had to clean it regularly as it was obstructing my cockpit. But I'm not here to boast; instead, I want to pay tribute to the dozens of talented engineers and our pilots who perished in this relentless assault. The base was truly ablaze in a few places, but of course, we repaired and improved everything even more, as you can see. The Nomads even attempted to track our logistics, trying to anticipate our movements, but we were one step ahead and defended everything that was necessary."
Identified Spokesman: Kian Holland Occupation: The Order Origin: Liberty Known whereabouts: Omicrons, Liberty Position: Doctor
"When the Nomads dared to launch their pathetic assault on Damascus at its most vulnerable, and let me assure you, my dear friend, the first warship that swiftly came to its aid was none other than the vigorous OCV Nekhbet, handled by one of the most competent pilots of the Order, Grand Admiral William Storgen. Ah, the tales I've heard of that majestic vessel! I even had the privilege of partaking in its enhancement, as it was truly a marvel of engineering. It comes as no surprise that this renowned warship garnered such fame, for its interior was akin to a time machine, transporting one to realms beyond imagination.
Alas, the ship met its tragic fate, but before succumbing, it annihilated the final Nomad warform. Just imagine, my friend, having the luxury of perishing valiantly alongside it. I've always maintained that it is far better to die as a man than to live as a coward. However, my heart shatters into a myriad of sorrowful fragments each time I lay eyes upon its wreck. Yes, I am aware that it has been partially restored, transformed into a solemn memorial, as it rightfully should be. Yet, my emotions never fail to overpower me, as if it were my first encounter with the enigmatic Omicron systems. Considering it's right next to Aka-... I need a drink. I apologize."
"These fine individuals here always receive me with utmost dignity, offering me drinks and even delicacies from Kusari itself. Fortunately, I have had the privilege of establishing a long-term collaboration with the honorable Order. I must say, they remind me a great deal of my own brethren and sisters, in their intricate unity and collaborative spirit. It is evident that this place bears an immense weight upon their shoulders, and yet they embrace it wholeheartedly.
Oh, the magnificence of this base, Damascus, if I may pronounce it correctly, is truly worthy of admiration. The engineers here, their remarkable work ethic, ingenuity, and their infectious enthusiasm—it truly explains the immense credit that the Order deserves. I am delighted that the Blood Dragons have extended their assistance to our brethren in these distant Omicron systems. Naturally, I am also grateful for the extraordinary aid we receive from the Order, Wedjat, Science division, Wedjat, and more...
Verily, whenever I set foot in this haven, I feel a profound sense of belonging, as if I were in the comfort of my own abode. I eagerly anticipate ordering the first sophisticated cloak for my cruiser, and this is undoubtedly the place where I shall aspire to procure it. We're truly fortunate to be allied with someone like the Order."

"Ever since we established a friendly contract with the esteemed Order, we have been enlightened about numerous aspects that were previously unbeknownst to us. For instance, I stumbled upon this captivating base, Damascus, and, by some stroke of luck, I was even granted permission to occasionally seek respite within its confines. The medical services here are truly unparalleled; there is no need to endure the waiting times that plague my home turf. We mutually aid one another, and they afford me the opportunity to procure essential provisions for my onward travels. From what I have gathered, my hermanos truly recognize the untapped potential harbored within the Order. I believe this venture extends far beyond mere self-interest. It is simply fated that we function as civilized beings, devoid of petty animosity and exploitation that others may indulge in.
Here's another intriguing fact: Colonel Eliza Fischer, a childhood friend of mine. She holds a grand rank within the Order Overwatch, and it is thanks to her that I found my way here. She even granted me the rare opportunity to step foot aboard one of their respected Osiris vessels, known as... Neferhotep. I can unequivocally state that this warship gives me an aura of intimidation. She had said that those who eyewitness the Neferhotep, usually end up lifeless. Not surprising."
"At times, I am commissioned to dig into exciting matters. Alas, I cannot divulge the nature of these affairs to you, my friend, because if I were to do so, I would be compelled to bring about your demise. Please, I beg you, refrain from pushing me towards wickedness.
In any case, it is true that I earn my bread through these endeavors, yet concurrently, I attain a certain measure of dignity. The missions given to me are undeniably fascinating, embracing a diverse array of elements. However, let us explore further into this realm. Instead, do tell me, where might one find a bathroom in here? Damascus, with its plenty of advancements, proves to be rather overwhelming for my modest tastes. I find myself losing my way every three meters."

"I must admit, I grew rather irritated upon hearing that the Coalition abruptly severed all diplomatic ties with us. Honestly, don't they have more pressing matters to attend to? I've been toiling away here for quite some time, offering them assistance far beyond what they have ever returned. But alas, I never expect anything in return when I extend my aid. It's mystifying, really. We simply prefer not to engage in conflicts with fellow beings, as we have more intellectually stimulating pursuits at hand. The malevolence that surrounds us, predominantly perpetrated by human hands, is the very reason we are compelled to respond as we do.
As Damascus uplifted the Order, it also elevated our allies, because, as you may know, a significant portion of our work revolves around aiding those who rarely show gratitude. Of course, there are exceptions worthy of mention. I've had the pleasure of encountering numerous compassionate individuals from beyond the Omicron systems who have chosen to invest their time in assisting us. Verily, it always motivates me. Though, it's challenging to maintain a sense of normalcy in these turbulent times, indeed.
Anyway, I shall start my patrol now. I seem to have drank an excessive amount of water. You see, my body cannot tolerate sugar; it instantly raises my blood pressure more than any mere annoyance ever could. Ta-da!"

"I can proudly affirm that we possess exceptional coordination within our ranks. Dr. Chandler consistently proves himself as one of the most competent engineers and scientists, alongside Dr. Wilson, of course. Now, I must stress that my admiration for Wilson is not borne out of bias, but rather a genuine appreciation for her unparalleled brilliance. And then there's the Admiral of the Order Overwatch, a title that resonates with noble stature because, rest assured, the man is truly of remarkable caliber. They have made substantial contributions to our cause and have been driving us toward improvement for decades. I've heard murmurs of their ambitious plans for colossal weaponry, but I prefer not to indulge in such discussions. Nevertheless, what we are producing is undeniably formidable, yet indispensably necessary. Who knows what tomorrow may bring?"
Identified Spokesman: Kozato Ryunosuke Occupation: The Order Origin: Kusari Known whereabouts: Omicrons, Kusari, Sigmas Position: Commander
"At times, I find myself tempted to pose some questions to the administration, but there is something that holds me back from probing too deeply. For a while, we had the assistance of a freelancer who had deep connections with the Coalition. Ironically, he claimed to transport slaves as he pleased. Of course, one does not refuse help, but I couldn't help but find it all rather suspicious. He even once asked me if I wanted to turn into one of his slaves. Needless to say, I promptly declined that offer, as I didn't believe it held any value. I haven't seen him in quite some time, though I cannot determine the reason behind his absence."
"We may be distant in physical proximity, but our fraternal bonds bring us remarkably close. It's challenging for me to truly convey the depth of affection that we, the Rheinlanders who have played a pivotal role in one of the greatest revolutions in modern history—the Bundschuh—harbor for our brethren in the far reaches of Omicron. However, we are aware that the influence of the Order extends far and wide. If the Order is occupied with other significant importances, we in the Bundschuh have made it a habit to bring forth the necessary resources you require. Thus, we deliver Kemwer Munitions, Palladium, or perhaps something intriguing that Damascus has to offer, back to our homeland. Moreover, I have heard whispers of delectable cookies being found here, which is also one of the reasons why I find myself in this very place."

"I am pleased to collaborate with someone who fights against genuine threats. Occasionally, I venture into Omicrons, even reaching places like Damascus, Akabat, and other beautiful locales. I typically carry provisions for the Order, primarily H-Fuel and Helium-3. Of course, this domain is not entirely secure, but we will all meet our demise one day. Why should I hide? Pride should be kept, dignity preserved. That's how I see it. Furthermore, the view from here towards the neighboring star is truly exquisite, reminiscent of the one in Sigma-59."
