[2 YEARS SINCE MY LAST REPORT]
It's been so long, so here's an update.
We left the bubble 2 years ago when the "anomaly report(s)" first came in.
Everything was prepared to stay outside the Bubble for a longer time, indefinite even.
One of these anomaly's turned out to be a THARG mothership, we named it Taranis..
Quickly around 30 systems around this "Titan" as we later called them, got occupied, this was my que..
The anomaly reports showed that 7! more of these Titans where on route to the Bubble.
If they all showed the same force, they would invade over 200 systems with ease..
And so they did, a huge battle that lasted for many months took place., we gained systems, they invaded again..
Many people got kidnapped from these systems..
It took Anti Xeno scientist a while to figure out the spire sites are all connected to the strength of these Titans.
Combined efforts of many CMDRs made it possible to now defeat the first 3! of these so called Titans..
We took part in the destruction of the last one, named Oya.. By using new tech torpedoes, making the Titan vulnerable to damage.
"Titan Oya in the Cephei Sector BV-Y B4 system has been confirmed as destroyed by Aegis, leaving five still operational."
(24.04.3310)
i received a decal, ARX and credits., a ship kit was also mentioned, but haven't seen that arrive yet..
We have so far witnessed 3 of the Titans their destruction.., Taranis was first to fall, then Leigong, now Oya about 2 weeks ago..
In the first and second debris fields, we got requested by Achilles Aerospace to gather materials.
This reminded me of my time in Nevermore., the great things i've seen because of The Achilles Corporation.
Time was different when i was younger.., i experience it so much faster now..
The Achilles Corporation always had my interest, more about this later in this report.
This was something big! i knew it, like how i instinctively felt out Guardian weapons would be useless in the war coming..
i even wrote about it in my last report., i'm still happy i got some more in before the Titans arrived..
Time hasn't been standing still, lots of progress with new technology came from this war..
Research was absolutely vital.., first certain Guardian relics revealed an activated nanite cluster when exposed to specific electromagnetic frequencies.
This was making Guardian tech unreliable or even useless..
A breakthrough was made, and the engineer Ram Tah has discovered a method of immunising existing Guardian modules against the effects of the THARGs anti-Guardian fields. in addition "Guardian Nanite Torpedoes" got released and are in mass production now.
Guardian nanite torpedoes should paralyse the vents of titans.
The titan will be forced to discharge the heat it generates by exposing its heat core.
That provides vulnerable target for more conventional weaponry to inflict damage.
There is also a new FSD drive on the market, this from The Achilles Corporation!
It comes with a function to boost super cruise, making in system travel so much faster.
The new drives are called: FSD-SCO (Super Cruise Overcharge)
There is also commercials showing new ship designs, so far we heard about a Python mark 2., more models come later this year.
We have put some credits aside for purchasing these new vessels, and we will see how they perform.
Now i do realise there is a few gaps here in my report, cause mostly is "new news"
It's not easy making a 2 year report in an A4 format..
We jumped the carrier out of range of these titans, as mentioned earlier in report 14.
Travelled back to Sagittarius A*
From Sag A* we went to Colonia, and we worked on ARAI 2
It made some interesting discoveries, and was filling in the CODEX nicely.
Made a few visits to systems it discovered, what beauty we have around us!
As soon as more was known about the titans., and the threat was mostly contained, i decided to travel back to the Bubble.
Bought a Sidewinder MK-1 on 18.01.3310, and used its "Express Function" to return to the Bubble quickly.
Now - FORTUNA - is located in our usual (in bubble) systems again.
Working on bounties, merrits, and supporting the things we always did, seems like life as usual is returning slowly to the Bubble., but with 5 of these titans still about., i won't feel safe just yet., everything is on high alert!
[FLEET UPDATE]
Lots of changes have been made to the fleet., and new vessels have been purchased!
in order of purchase, oldest to newest: Diamondback Scout, Federal Assault ship, Federal Gunship, ASP Scout, Federal Corvette, Sidewinder MK1, Mamba, Federal Dropship, ASP Explorer, Anaconda, Python.
Most of the vessels if not all are ready to use, and engineering is done to it where possible or needed..
For more info i like to point you towards the "Fleet Status" Documents listed below.
Fleet Status: CMDR 34

[FINANCIAL REPORT]
The time we where not in the bubble we have been exploring a lot.
Also making huge progress in the field of Exobiology, something i started to like over hte years.., it's relaxing and pays well.
Needless to say, we made very good money on the discoveries made.
Carrier balance shown today: Covered from reserve for 4 Years and 8 days
Income over the last period made sure we could activate out shipyard again, and modules are once again available in outfitting menu.
Weekly upkeep at: 29,250,000 Credits
An effort to infiltrate factions was also made., some money was spent on it., but safe to say we have all the technology from other factions available.
These modules are found in storage of - FORTUNA -
To be most effective during this mission, i gave up a 120 week pledge to Zachery Hudson.
On the first of May, 3010 i have returned to Zachery Hudson.

[ADDITIONAL NOTES]
Not much more to report, more our active agenda currently:
Working on Inara badges..
Engineers are still out there to find..
AX effort will be continued, the war is far from over, and many repairs are needed throughout the previously invaded systems.
