I've got a report. Some Zoners or a people who covering by Zoner name is supplying that base in Omicron Lost. So there is addition information about these vessels.
Gentlemen, I think you may be taking this all a little bit too seriously. For the first part there is nothing of value in Omicron Lost, it is a big, empty system with little to no resources of any value that are economical to extract. The entire reason that there was an incident in the first place is that one man who has enough money to own and operate a Nephelim class colony vessel didn't want to give out a fraction of the cost of running that vessel to avoid an incident.
Well you screwed up, you made a mistake, get over it. The 77th group in general are a group that I have had a couple of problems with but nothing that would require this degree of response. You have decided that you want to include multiple other unaffiliated Zoners in what appears to me to be a personal vendetta. They damaged your ship so you paint them as some criminals who want to attack Zoners and drive them out of free space?
Face it buddy you made a wrong decision and you paid the price, let it end there. Get a replacement vessel and LEARN YOUR LESSON. The Bounty Hunters Guild is a paramilitary organisation, do you know what that means? They have vessels designed for combat, they have pilots with a lot of experience at fighting and killing others. The Nephelim class, while having a large powercore and being able to mount battleship-class shields and weaponry is a massive ship designed mostly to be a colony ship, the Bounty Hunters have battleships designed just for combat. What makes you think we have a chance in open combat?
Another thing I see here is people complaining about Zoner vessels supplying the 77th base of operations... Gentlemen that is not up to you to decide what they do and do not do. It's every zoner's own perogative to do what he wants within reason. So go ahead, declare war on the 77th. but don't come crying to me when your ships are in ruins and your losses are mounting. I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep if another lot of warmongers commits suicide, there's enough trouble in Sirius without fools like you looking for more.
Mr Curch with all due respect, I think you have missed some points here.
The Omicron Lost incident is not the first nor the only. The 77th had several
hostile actions towards zoners. They have destroyed an OSI vessel in Delta
assaulted zoner facility in Zeta, attacked zoner vessels in Zeta, attempted to
hack one zoner facility in Zeta as well as they attacked and disabled Order
vessels in Delta, Zeta and even in Mu.
Thing that makes them at least a thing to investigate.
About the zoner vessels supplying their base, I don't want to involve in anyone's
way of making some profit, but as long as it is using it's safe pass to Akabat to
supply a base affiliated with the Core, there is a problem. I don't want the order
to believe that we zoners, back stab them and deny us access to their space.
I don't know what relationship OSI has with the Order, but we plan to keep our
relation clean and friendly with them.
So, in my opinion, this is not only about a simple mistake on one of our brethren's
side. Until we don't find out what they are up to, we can't risk to loose any more
ships, nor do we want to compromise the security of our Freeports. The 77th are
not even humans, for what we know they might plan an invasion...

I have been doing some research in the Lost system and believe me that sector is not that empty as you claim it...hell even the 77th pilots claim they were living there for years, staying hidden. I have my own reasons to believe that Omicron Lost is something more then just empty system in middle of Nomad infected and controled space. Yes senior I have been around this sector for years and I have gathered enough data to say such things. I would like to point out that I am not trying to start war with said BHG ships .. That would be unwise as you have proven. I am just saying that those who dare to atack my people should accept the consequences of their actions. If they want to keep their space restricted .... I could negotiate with them terms and rules about the Lost system...so far the only words comming from those ... whoever they are ... are words of hate and violance - they atack our home-ship, they threat our research operations and the only thing you see wrong in that picture is the fact that we are upset about the situation? Senior ... I have lost my friends and family in Omicrons...I know this space as my own pocket - there is something smelly about these freaks and their actions. I will begin diplomacy talks about Omicron Lost with 77th but if you think that I am going to tolerate cutting my freedom in Omicrons because someone suddenly claims space here as his own - then you are wrong senior.
I have ordered Phoenix ships to not enter Omicron Lost with colony ships and our home-ships - our forces are too weak to declare war on anyone. Those who enter the system will be using ships capable to evade incomming fire. If you Senior think that a neutral, carrier class ship, carrying civillians and scientists is a valid target JUST because he entered space that used to be open and free...then I believe our talk here is finished.
I've dealt with the [77th] before and they seemed nice enough... although now with this flurry of reports against them... I have to rethink that deduction.
While the claim on Omicron Lost is quite invalid, considering it is a desolate, barren system, expensive to keep any operations for long, I think we can let them believe whatever they want to believe.
Attacking Zoner ships, however, is not acceptable... I hope all of us can band together, and call upon eachother when they decide to attack. Funny, it was almost always unarmored transports with them, but now they've gone so far as to attack a Capital ship?
Ludicrous.
Fortunately, this has happened before, both with renegade Corsair groups as well as Bounty Hunter groups.
We have analyzed the situation and will prepare fighter and bomber squadrons to counter this threat. We are very well aware what the presence of the 77th means and will take measures to counter it. With brutal force of capital ships as well, if not otherwise possible.
That's all.
I must make some form of apology for my confrontational attitude last night, I was not in the best of moods after a paperwork issue that crossed my foot. Regardless I believe that I should address some points here.
Mr. Raddler
You say that they destroyed an OSI vessel in Delta? How shocking! This will not stand! I will be making complaints at the... no wait I already did that, I know exactly what happened in that situation unlike any of you because it was my vessel that was destroyed. A minor loss of a remotely piloted whale, easily replaced.
The accusation that they have assaulted other Zoner vessels is certainly something that I will be looking into and bringing up with them as I am going to attempt to open communications with them over this and several other incidents.
That you say they have been disabling and attacking Order vessels I have only one thing to say to that and I believe that this ancient piece of media expresses it quite well. The Order and the Core have been at each other's throat for years, we have not in that time denied either of them docking based on their conflict. If you wish to abandon neutrality and assault the Core for doing something that they have been doing for well over twenty years then you be my guest. Don't count on my support.
Mr. Meridius
Do share your fascinating studies on why this sector is apparently worth fighting over. disregarding that for at least the past twenty years nobody has cared enough about the planets in that system to even go there. The system is empty my good man, the 77th live there but nobody else even wants to.
If they attack your ships then by all means take action, diplomatic action prefferably. I would like it, however, if for the moment your vessels could not enter the Omicron Lost system at all. I'm going to be going up there in person to attempt talks with the leader of the 77th.
Oh and on a side note about your statement of space that used to be free... Every system in Sirius was free before we came here. But I don't think that argument would hold much water if you went into Alaska now would it?
Mr. Orphelia
I'm glad to see another calm head here in this storm of self-pity and warmongering. My own scans of the system have brought me to a similar conclusion as you about the viability of long-term operations there. I'm going to be heading up to your station for a while where I shall attempt to begin talks with the leaders of the 77th to calm this situation down.
Overwatch
Would you mind holding the assault until after negotiations have either succeeded or failed? I would like to have achance to sort this problem out before tempers flare too far.
Mr. Moonstone
I'll be seeing you at Freeport 11 then. I hope that between us we can sort this problem out peacefully.

I wouldn't say warmongering, although there have been hints of a certain eagerness to do battle... This problem will pass, hopefully sooner than later.
Untill then, keep your convoys guarded, and cloaking devices fueled to the brim.
and Mr. DeGarmo we appreciate any defense addition to our garrison, although attacking Freeport 11 would hurt their operation, my commodity dealer informs me they regularly buy supplies from us.
I dont really understand why when one group of us gets attacked by one insignifficant, air-headed group of gung-ho Bounty Hunters that all of us need to be involved. I am not King of Omicron Delta (although I do love that title... hmm)
There is a status quo in some of these systems that has been stable for months, years even. Very steady we hold it and some imbusiles like this could ruin it...
When diplomacy collapses in MY neighborhood, this happens
I'd rather avoid going back to that at all costs, even, yes, a heavily damaged Aquilon.
Eh, I'm growing to be less and less concerned in drama that doesnt directly involve me, Freeport 11, or doesnt directly involve Nomads assaulting us. The Real Spacewives of the Omicrons... sigh.

Well, we always knew the BHG, was scum but this is a sign that they have finally dropped all pretense of respect. Zones are neutral, and attacking in Omicron Delta, a fairly important system to the zones. Now I feel like going on a one man assault on Daborou Station. Anyway i'll head on over to Delta and do some recon in Lost, maybe even give them a few complimentary SNACs.
Another transmission: I would salon like to know on what grounds they claim Omicron Lost as theirs.
