Ended up in a war again
24 Apr 2017Markus Septonius
Visited the generation ship yesterday. It was a spooky and sad place to experience. Nobody was brave enough to board the derelict ship because of the ship logs we found there. They talked about an alien virus that killed all of the inhabitants aboard the ship. Then, an imperial wing dropped to the location and started attacking. I tried to save a few of the exploration ships, but they managed to bring my shields on the verge of collapse so I had to frameshift out of there._
What I'll do now is try to get Sirius corp. to trust me and give me a permit so I can visit Marco. He said he can introduce me to professor Palin. I'm sure he'll need a few favours in return.
Got interdicted by a Cutter while supercruising towards Davy dock. Managed to get there later; Anaconda shield mods are working flawlessly.

I was introduced to senior executive Hank Lee.
This looks promising, I think I'll be able to get that Sirius permit soon. They said they need help with the war in Ceos. Once SE Hank saw the SNV Darkshines he asked me to go and act as a support cruiser in the combat zone. Looks like they found a use for my Anaconda.
22 jumps to Ceos.

Arrived at Ceos. Trip was a standard jump-scoop-jump procedure. First thing for us to do was to dock at New Dawn Station and we saw chaos. There's a quiet atmosphere in the air lock. Pirate faction is pushing closer to the New Dawn Station and there is some UA interference. People are affraid and Sirius Corporation is not in control of the conflict. Talked to a young guy called Pricksy who is in charge of the defences on the station. He is confused and afraid and he said that unknown artifact interference is giving him trouble with the station guns. He thinks they'll have to fight inside because they won't be able to stop their Dropships from coming in. He gave me a heads up on four Pythons in the conflict zone and warned me they haven't been able to destroy them.
I've seen wars in my time and this is not an unorganised pirate incursion. Someone is supporting them and giving them knowledge and equipment.

We made it to the conflict zone. Sirius was outnumbered 6 to 1. SNV Darkshines and it's fighter support managed to destroy bigger ships, then the rest of the fighters went down quickly. In no time we were in control of the zone and then the Pythons came. Experimental weapons and modded shields on them. From the start it was obvious they were not experienced in wing combat and we managed to eliminate them while they were spread out across the combat zone.
We are now docked at the New Dawn. Left my engineers on the bridge to scan everyone coming in to dock. We need to know who is doing this.
