I think we may have done it. Delta Squadron has left this sphere of Influence. I feel this may be a victory, but I am generally unsure. Their last remaining carrier is nowhere to be found nearby.I remain mostly cynical as it may just be a temporary withdrawl; Likely they left to go help out the rest of the Alliance expand into the Coalsack Nebula. Still, they're more interested in doing that than taking over these backwater star systems. One remains nearby, but is out of the sphere of influence here, in which I've been trying to remain relatively vague as to where this whole thing is going on; Don't need them getting any help, and if we need it, we still have Lavingly's Legion. Although they got real busy, too, what with the Empire essentially wanting to start Another war. Poor Aisling, though, to lose one dear to her and nearly losing another.
I don't think I've written about this part yet, though; Shortly after this conflict started, one of the head honchos of Delta Squadron, Stevie, actually contacted us. Course I wasn't allowed to listen in to private talks between him and our heads, as a big ol' birb by the name of Gyraxis put it, "they don't let media in the room where warring countries discuss treaties. No different here." But Stevie came in with 'Let's make independent squads great again' like he didn't know the folks we're actually Working with are part of the Alliance. Gist of it, neither side wanted to withdraw. That was back in mid September.
In general, I think they've been losing interest. Stories tell that ARC fought tooth and nail (fang and claw?) for these systems, and they ain't just gonna roll over and give 'em up. As I've stated before, Technically these systems still belong to ARC anyway.
In a bit more personal news, one of my best friends went on a trip to Beagle Point about a week ago, only returned maybe 3 days ago now. He doesn't seem much of the exploration type, either, but he told me about a little pet memorial way out there. Told him to bring back some pictures of the System of Wonders, but I don't think he made it; poor guy was too eager to come back home and blow stuff up.
I also unretired my Diamondback and turned her into my utility jumping ship. She won't take me too far from civilization again, but she's the quickest to get me from point A to point B.
