SHIP LOG: Pilot federation CMDR "Mavis" Mcneilsmith, Admiral of Maquis Fleet.Private Record - Self Protection Logs - Status: PRIVATE (contingency mode active)
After meeting with the council elect of the Maquis people, I have been sent to fortify our fleets new Warship class ship, and prepare our people for the incoming Thargoid threat. The paths to the engineers across the galaxy are open, and as safe as they ever were still. Our issue is our people are are refugees in a foreign home, the last of a people wiped out by the vile Imps, calling Diaguandri and Aruru homes for now. The council fears these places are no longer safe and we will have to seek planetary safety soon--but I disagree.
In a matter of years the Maquis people have gathered from our hidings in the corners of our bubble, avoiding who they are. No longer! we rejoined as a people over this time, coming together in one home, Diaguandri. We created business ties with the Li-Yong Rui dynasty, profiting our people hundreds of millions in wealth. We created a fleet of our own, one to protect and serve our people's needs for the first time since the destruction of our heritage colonies. The Alliance, and Federation have both contracted and trained our captains... I even earned the rank of Rear Admiral, and established ties to acquire our warship. What I am circling to is, the Maquis cannot run, there is no where to go but forward--not backwards to the way we were before.
Fortifying our ships is the best opportunity we have to encountering a new unknown threat. Our legacy ship the python survived what people are calling a "medusa" Thargoid attack; powering their FSD the managed to escape with their lives and a repairable ship.
I will be submitting projects: "Gardener": to explore the buried guardian sites again to further hybridization of our fleet technology; "Xenoblade" to acquire purchasing contracts of anti-xeno gauss weapons or the means of production; and "Little Man" to develop new guardian SLFs. I will force my hand to pass the projects through the council if I must, but alas I do still have one or two allies who hold seats.
If our timelines are correct the Maquis have less than two months to get organized.
