Log Book #5 - Dalagritu
26 Jun 2021Eimilian
It took two colony ships but we finally brought our people to Quimper Gateway. We did our best to cover up where we came from, but soon things gave away when our spray paint job over the empire logo failed. The people of Dalagritu thought we were imposters from the empire coming to take away their people."We're from the empire, yes." I told them. "We are not what you think we are. Some of us are former slaves, renegades, fighters and pirates. We come in peace."
I'm not sure if my words were honey to them. But it at least calmed down most of the tension around here except for one faction. They are called the Confederacy of Mech. Zealots from the look of things. They have been terrorizing the locals around the system and trying to spread their lies.
"Slaves and pirates don't deserve to be saved!" Shouted one of the believers. Maybe we don't deserve to be saved. but I think we're allowed to be forgiven for what we've done, no?
They certainly thought not. A fight soon happened in the station. Guns blazing all around. But it was soon stopped, by us to say the least. Leaders of the Unionists asked us if we could give them a hand to kick out the zealots out of their system. In return they promised us room for our faction to join their cause.
But once our faction would be part of their home, how long would peace last? I've seen bad things happen in Avalon. A lot of lives were lost and still are to this day. Labor of Avalon, the work of our people. Torn down to shred by the knights. Knights of darkness, corruption. I wish things would of gone better there. But we had to leave. I'm happy I've brought the legendary ship, the AlbinoBadger to the arsenal. The old man who sold it to me back in Noctilux told me she was a ship of legends. Maybe he's right, maybe that single ship could turn a war around.
Though I fear the worse for Dalagritu. The future is uncertain. Blood will be shed again. Not for the cause of others, but ours.
