[font=Century Gothic]"Edd's" Exploration unit: A brief business record
<div align="center]
Company founded by Edd Hanson in 787 A.S. Company goals stated as exploration of uncharted systems branching off from the Sirius Sector.
Recognised as an official group in 788 A.S. Given 5,000,000 credit grant to aid in expansion and operations.
Began scientific research operations for Cambridge scientists in 790 A.S.
Agreed to share information gathered with criminal group, the Outcasts (for more information on the Outcasts, see the relative file), in return for supplies, repairs and limited technology in 795 A.S. Group seen as "bad-neutral" to all four lawful Houses. Seen as unfriendly to Corsairs (for more information on the Corsairs, see the relative file).
Began artefact selling to highest bidders in 797 A.S. Status with Corsairs increased to hostile due to company aiding Outcast raids against Corsairs.
Fifteen members registered as fighters in the company. Fifty registered as "behind the scene" workers.
Found large artefact chest far outside of the Sirius Sector in 801 A.S. shortly after Nomad War. Sold for humongous profit of three hundred million credits. Expanded operations much farther.
Rumours of Order ties began to spread. Several pilots disappeared in Liberty.
Leader of group began investigating pilot disappearance and requested information from the Liberty Government. Response was that the pilots had been arrested due to high treason against the House and had been executed. Crimes included working for the Outcasts and the Order.
Pilots left all four lawful Houses in 802 A.S. after fears of execution were apparent.
Operations continued as normal until 812 A.S.
Large Nomadic force decimated primary base in 812 A.S. The group never recovered.
To whoever is reading this note, I am the founder and leader of the small exploration unit known as "Edd's Exploration".
If you are reading this note, which I have hand-written and left in my safe in my country house on planet Gran Canaria, then I am dead. Only through the fact that you have been given access to my house, most likely through the Repo-men who are repossessing my belongings, could you have had access to this note.
But anyway, I know that the fact that you are reading this note must mean that I am dead. I do not know how I have died, but I hope it was a good death. Not like getting hit by a car or something.
The date is the 9th of September 817 A.S. I write one of these notes every six months to add new confessions. And now to the actual confessing.
The first confession I have is about how we grew so quickly. I mentioned in our public record that we had relations with the Outcasts. But to agree to our terms - food, supplies and limited technology in return for what information we gather on artefacts - we had to assist them in pirating operations against the IMG and Colonials for several months.
My second confession I have is about how we gained access to advanced technology. Rumours began to spread that we were working with the group known as the Order. That is a lie. We were not working for them: We were stealing from them. Even after the Nomad war, the Nomads still engaged the Order and other human factions. They left wrecks in their wake. Wrecks which we were able to salvage weapons, armour and other pieces of technology that could aid us in our exploration of the areas outside of the Sirius Sector.
My third confession is about how we found the large number of artefacts that we gained three hundred million credits from. The truth is, we didn't find them. We stole them from several Corsair transports. Although some of them we did actually find, at least 90% of them were from the Corsairs.
My fourth confession is about the destruction of our primary base. I always said it was an attack from the Nomads. That was a lie. It wasn't the Nomads, it was a joint assault by the Order and the Corsairs. I guess the Order wanted their stuff back, and the Corsairs wanted their money back. All of the profits from the artefacts we stole from the Corsairs went into constructing that base, so I guess they did get the money back in some way.
And my fifth and final confession. I recently paid for one of my own crew to take a trip into a mental hospital. We're a very small group now, and I can't believe that I did that. There's a small part of me that thinks that Walter is still holding a grudge. He's out now and it seems like he is back to normal, just operating with us. But there is a small part of me that says he's different.
This has been my confession. I hope the Lord can forgive me for my sins. I just pray that I'm going to a better place when I die. A death which I fear is closer than I can imagine.
