EXO is gaining new systems. Space Cats return (and attack). I make a lot of money.

March 3, 3302.Not only does EXO have its home system of Wolf 1301, control of Wayaliti, and a major war for power victory in LDS 883...But now EXO has expanded into the horribly named BD+14 611. In less than three-quarters of a year, we have expanded into three new systems and taken control of two of them.
I have someone keeping eyes on possible trade routes at Plexico Vision (Wayaliti) and just opened a second branch of It Came from the Void (my shop) at Smith Reserve (LDS 883). Business is plentiful and credits just keep stacking up. I've afforded more employees to man the shops while I'm out on the Highwind.
During one such outing, the members who splintered off to form the Space Cat following have done it again...Forming the group Church of the Space Cat. Religious motives are still to be determined. It's the opinion of the Naval forces (EXO formed a Naval unit) that the Space Cat group be classified as terrorists. I've read after-action debriefings of several attacks with civilian casualties. With Ultrablackguy, my former flight CO, joining the Space Cat group, I was offered the position of flight-leader. The logistics squad leader highly recommended me. Unfortunately, I had to decline as I didn't believe I could preform the best that I could in that position. Either way, I was promoted to Senior Wingman. That being the highest non-commissioned rank in the EXO fleet.
I was forced to decommission my Viper III due to it being out-of-date as far as its loadout, and would be too costly to refit it. Fortunately, I was able to sell the pieces for a nice profit.
I took the opportunity to drop by the two outposts in BD+14 611. They're in complete shambles, and EXO has been funding the repair of such stations. Federation authorities there haven't ignored my contributions and have opened the door for my business to have ease of access to other Fed stations in the sector. Of course my family back on Mars has noticed this and is pestering me to come visit. I told them that it was out of the question as long as Hudson requires system permits to even go to Sol...
Then one of the business executives gave me an offer...
