Witch Head defense continues

CMDR's log, Jan 9 3307:The Dark has been orbiting around Wellington A 1 for a week now and a new AX Combat Zone has surfaced only about 29Mm from us. This makes traveling between combat, the carrier, and the rescue ship rather short hence operations more efficient. The Thargoid presence in this system has been since lowered to Moderate. Lembass and Onoros remain the highest threat while Evangelis has had its thargoid incursion eliminated. As stated before, I plan to keep the carrier in Wellington until the system is deemed safe again.
I've been rotating Glamdring and the Traumahawk through the Combat Zones regularly. While I'm really happy with the performance of the Challenger, nothing can really beat the speed and maneuverability of the Chieftain. The AX Orca I built, while definitely promising, is being hangared due to the yaw controls being hyper responsive. Some work will need to be done on it. I've also taken the liberty of taking The Midnight, my Krait Phantom into Ezra Point with collector limpets and rescuing and collecting as many escape pods and salvage as possible.
The Marauders Vanguard has asked if we'd be interested in assisting with the repair of Cann Relay in Evangelis. Operation Ida, the faction responsible for the rapid repair of all the attacked stations, has opted to allow them the initiative on restoring it and will join in later. I'm entertaining the possibility, though it will largely depend on other factors.
