[Subject]: Reconnaissance at Omicron-74
[Opening Transmission]
Last night I flew a mission to the omicrons to determine whether the [ZA] Zoner Alliance might be a threat to Rheinland. Hostilities there had recently and very rapidly resumed after what appeared to be a coup within the group. David Dvir was replaced by Tri-urdent according to public channels as the group's new leader and they had locked down the system once again. There were several ships, notably capital ships, that were in the system engaging the Zoner Alliance bases and defence platforms. This included both Zoner forces and Order units. In short, the whole system seems to be in complete disarray and Zoners seem to firing on each other as if its a civil war. Recon photographs are posted below. Unfortunately it was too dangerous to get any scans on the bases of vessels belonging to the [ZA] due to their hostile nature and indiscriminate firing.
This was one of the Order vessels dispatched to deal with the crisis. We had a short conversation as they were suspicious as to why BDM units were in the Omicrons. I explained to them that I was there to determine whether the Zoner Alliance would be a threat to Rheinland or not, as they had requested permission to pass through Rheinland space just a few days earlier. And excerpt of the conversation can be found here. The Svirza seems to evade my ship for most of the time, constantly redeploying whenever I got too close. They probably didn't want for us to get a scan on their ships even though I was already to busy dodging [ZA] turrets for that to happen.
The above photograph is of one of the communications stations the [ZA] uses within the system. The Svirza plus several other Zoner capital ships were seen firing upon it. However, it appears to have been upgraded with a shield barrier to protect it from danger. It may take a few days or weeks to destroy the station. It is near the Omicron Theta jump hole in the system.
While cruising over to the Omicron Kappa jump hole, I noticed the former leader of the [ZA], David Dvir. A few shots came in my direction, though I cannot tell whether the shots came from his juggernaut or if they came from an automated defence system nearby. He seemed suspicious as to what the BDM was doing there, but I didn't send him any transmissions.
Finally, this is the defence station near the Omicron Kappa jump hole. The Svirza had deployed here after I was conducting reconnaissance at the Omicron Theta jump hole. Once arrived here, the Svirza once again redeployed to the Omicron Theta jump hole hence this was how I came to the conclusion that the Order was hiding something from the BDM that was on that ship.
