This week we saw the Angels trying to gain a foothold in our system again. They had somehow managed to get in undetected and set up a forward military operations base and factory units. It was just pure luck that I decided to do a scan for wormholes that they showed up. We managed to get a fleet together and go in through the first acceleration gate. The fire came in thick and fast. My crew worked hard to keep the shield array couplings cool on my Tempest class battleship Angels Grace. But my admiration goes out to Captain Pip who flew logistics and Hoon who took in a Vargur marauder class battleship. If it was not for these two ships we would of lost assets in there. Steps will have to be taken to make sure this kind of thing does not happen to often. It could be the fact the guys up at the system infrastructure hub may need some planet time. Will mention this at the next corp meeting.
Just of late we have had some guys trying to get through our system in industrial ships carting various cargo's. Not sure what they are up to but so far each one has been destroyed, they know the risks yet they still try to move expensive equipment through hostile space. Even found a star base in some of the wreckage, our techs managed to repair the superficial damage to it. Their escort managed to get away in a Condor frigate class ship and he stayed out of reach cloaked up.
My planet command centers are working well they are now pushing out at 100% efficiency, we are starting to get an abundance of oxygen so I may switch things over to produce less of the oxygen and move production to mechanical parts and coolant. Will have to see the projected results at the end of the month before I make that decision as decommissioning extractors and setting up new ones cost ISK.
Was woken up by the alarm of a urgent message from the station crew, I had taken some sleeping meds to help with the nightmares so it was a few hours after the event. A spy had managed to gain entry into our corp and call in a enemy carrier of Pandemic Legion. They managed to get away with around an estimated cost of 30 billion ISK of assets and also destroyed a alliance Roqual. The spies name was Dragonmede, full measures were taken to help minimize the loss and to stop it happening again. I lost the Rapier class ship called Normandy, a pittance compared to a corp mate who had a Vargur stolen from him. Has this weakened the corp ? No I think it has made us stronger from it. As for revenge? My contacts know what happened and the feelers are out on this one the thief can run but he wont hide. I will be getting my pound of flesh from his rotting corpse as soon as its spaced.
On a lighter note my contact in Empire called me to a meeting with her. So I jumped clones down to Korama where she is based. I was a day early so I took her out for dinner and stayed the night at her place. I woke next morning finding my wallet 500 million ISK lighter and a message of thanks from her saying it will be worth every penny. Why do I get suckered in every time she calls its always for money. But then I guess its worth it to see those legs and smile.
There have been some resistance to my idea of an outpost, mainly from the Caldarians in the corp. Not sure how to get them on my side may just have to shoot them in the foot to make sure they see my point of view. They moan about it not belonging to the corp and that the alliance would take it off us, and how much work it would need and ISK. They cant seem to see that its not a project that's going to be done over night. Nor are we going to put into place without some kind of deal from the alliance. Its a great bargaining chip to wave about in the alliance leaders faces. Either way the wind blows on this one I have given my contact in Empire the go ahead and will supply the funds to start building a outpost package. If the corp doesn't want it then I can sell it on the open market. I guess I will be seeing more of her in the future, which is not always a bad thing.
Life in New Eden can be tough, there are those that never reach beyond the safety of the Empires. Then there are those like me that throws caution to the wind and live on the edge of what is safe.

Entry 1: Bringing you up to speed.
Been 5 long months since we left Empire and set up down in the Impass region. Out here we make our own laws and rules that everyone in the alliance lives by. You got to stick together or your going to end up getting your ship and crew blown up by the Angel Cartel, or random capsuleers who think they can do what they like because CONCORD has no authority out here. Some of these jokers wake up choking on their clone liquid, the lucky ones run in their capsule while we pick through the wreck for salvage.
Decided to write a sort of captains log, like what you see in the old holo vids about a ships captain trekking through space. Might take my mind off the politics that goes on, can't stand politics. Learnt my negotiating skills by pointing a gun at Amarr faces and telling them what I want. Slave trading bastards the lot of them, just a pity the Elders had to withdraw when we attacked. Should of wiped them from the face of New Eden, ha the day we blew up CONCORD's main station. Beautiful.
Had a call to arms last night just as I was docking up from a long shift in the deadspace, one of our own was caught in O-SH1T by a enemy corp. I told my crew the situation there were some groans as we was all looking forward to hitting the local bars, but they stood with me. Got to love them for their dedication. We arrived and got our people out, as they jumped to safety an enemy ship jumped in with them. Was a small one man frigate which was shot and killed. Some pirate corp of capsuleers who call themselves the Pink Bunnies, relations to the Guristas I think or wanna be's. They keep pushing like they are doing they going to find we can push alot harder.
