Date: 03/10/2468 Horizon Location: Adhomai, S'rand'marr System Current Destination: Fahal Zaz Khazan, Southern Harr'masir, Adhomai Horizon, The next stage of Operation Snow Sight has been approved. Given the leads discovered by your teams last week, the clear focus for your efforts is the town of Fahal Zav Khazan. From what little logs the Adhomai Liberation Army was willing to pull for us, it's a small farming village nearby the border. Neither of the flanking border garrisons want to patrol it since it's just outside of their territories. It used to be bustling with its own local garrison before they were transferred elsewhere. Since then, the village has been on decline. It's not a far conclusion to see why bandits would set up nearby a declining frontier town without military support. It's worth a shot to see if the pilot and cargo of the Jaunter was taken here. Our humanitarian aid clause will be cashed in, however. The village is in need of a few things: Repairs to the town school house. Repairs to the town radio mast and station. Supplies transferred to the town storehouse. Rations Shelf-stable medical supplies 6.8mm ammunition Warm clothing Fresh food and drinks for the locals during the visit. This will be the secondary objective of this expedition. The primary objective, as expected, is to find out more information regarding these bandits and the Jaunter's pilot and cargo. If the earlier reports from the crew are true, a bandit camp is in the area of the village. The locals may have a precise location for it. Avoid wandering too much, we don't need more hostages taken. The operational timeline for this expedition will begin in some hours. Prepare as needed for the upcoming work. Good luck, Horizon. We're counting on you. - SCCSA Darcie Elise

Tomorrow’s Gate Sabotaged! Commissioning Delayed 1.10.2468 / 3626.3.32 Earlier today, a group of pirates assaulted Tomorrow’s Gate, the bluespace gate project currently in progress as a collaboration between our glorious Repbulic and the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate. The gate has been under construction for some years, plagued by the dissidents and enemies of the Party and Hadiism. Even as the Orbital Navy grows in size and capability, those who wish to see Tajara fail only attack harder. In President Hadii’s wisdom, a special task force was assigned to Tomorrow’s Gate to ensure its safeguarding during the final stages. During a scheduled return to port, the PRAMV Liberation of the People, a Sentinel-class carrier, was the sole vessel tasked with ensuring the safety of the gate while its compatriots were on return flight from the People’s Space Station. It was during this time that a pirate caravel attacked the gate. The ensuing battle was a fierce pitching of savage dissident barbarism and precise Hadiist voidcombat doctrine. The Sentinel-class is not a weak vessel. Indeed, it is capable of withstanding fire from multiple vessels for an entire battle. However, the pirates were not focusing on disabling the voidship, rather the symbol of Adhomai’s future in a continually interconnected Spur. The PRAMV Liberation of the People ultimately won out, disabling the caravel and boarding the vessel with P’kus-3 augmented Kosmostrelki. In the battle, however, Tomorrow’s Gate took damage to critical components that must be replaced. Adjacent to this battle, an affiliated pirate skiff attacked the NTV Cloud of Light, a NanoTrasen phoron tanker. While the PRAMV Liberation of the People was busy handling the larger pirate threat, a nearby SCC vessel took on the call to assist those in need. The SCCV Horizon, a Venator-class cruiser and flagship of the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, heeded the call and valiantly fended off the dissidents. The SCC vessel had disabled the skiff, with assistance from an Orbital Navy fighter dispatched by the PRAMV Liberation of the People, and counter boarded the savage pirates aboard the NTV Cloud of Light. The brave SCC asset protection teams successfully recovered 2 hostages taken by the pirates, and subsequently shelled the NTV Cloud of Light to prevent its precious cargo from falling into dissident hands. With disruption of much needed phoron, and damage to critical componentry, the commissioning of Tomorrow’s Gate has been delayed. The Party will not give up on the gate, however. President Hadii has seen it fit to allocate additional budget for repairs to hasten the process. It is decided, the People will embrace the future of the Spur. Adhomai will have a bluespace gate, by Hadii’s will and the needs of the People!

Date: 24/09/2468 Horizon Location: Adhomai, S'rand'marr System Current Destination: N/A Horizon, On the 26th of September, plans for the first mission of Operation Snow Sight will be set in motion. The SCCV Jaunter's location has been identified thanks to assistance from both local SCC assets and the Adhomai Liberation Army. It is roughly 20 kilometers from the nearest village, Fahal-Zav-Khazan. The latest ALA scout report is attached. Beyond this, there is little else we have at out disposal for what to expect. Current intentions will require some intention on the surface. Prepare to secure the shuttle and investigate into its crash, for record keeping. Naturally, the pilot, cargo, and blackbox should be a priority. While we do have leeway to wander, avoid the mountains. It is outside our allotted play space and angering 2 warlords would be sub-par work. Otherwise, the precise method this away mission is performed will be, naturally, decided by the Command team. Further details will be provided as become available. Good luck Horizon! We're counting on you. - SCCSA Darcie Elise

Date: 12/09/2468 Horizon Location: Badlands Sector Current Destination: Adhomai, S'rand'marr System Horizon, Later today delegates from the Southern Harr'masir Warlord, Muharajuurl Muhr'fal, will board the Horizon to discuss terms on SCC operations within the region. It is paramount that the Horizon is permitted access, even if temporary, to the region. Investigating the SCCV Jaunter will be made all the harder if local military forces are harassing our teams, let alone the cost of such in both manpower and equipment. I will be present alongside a representative from Ringspire. We are here to assist in negotiations, however let there be little doubt that Horizon Command engagement will be needed. The best foot must be put forward after the fiasco in the Din'akk. This means the best hospitality we can put forward! Meeting minutes will be kept, and time for the delegates to explore and experience SCC Service on the Horizon will be accomodated should they be interested. Let's give them the best meeting possible, and secure ourselves the much needed breathing room to secure the SCCV Jaunter in the coming weeks. I believe in you Horizon! - SCCSA Darcie Elise

Operation Snowsight Date: 12/09/2468 Operational Region: S'rand'marr This Operation thread is closely monitored by Human Resources. Any misuse or "spam" will be hidden. Warning: All information contained within this thread is considered CONFIDENTIAL. Any crew member found distributing contained information outside Stellar Corporate Conglomerate channels will be charged with i308 - Corporate Espionage. Horizon, While in transit for the anticipated grand opening of Tomorrow's Gate, S'rand'marr's Bluespace Gate, SCC Communications Centre received a distress signal from an SCC shuttle transiting across Adhomai. Due to escalating tensions in the Badlands region, the Horizon will be the only capable vessel in the S'rand'marr system to perform sufficient search and rescue duties. As such, SCC Operations Oversight has assigned Horizon to Operation Snowsight in lieu of pre-existing duties pertaining to Tomorrow's Gate. Be aware, the location of the SCC shuttle is reportedly within the Southern Harr'masir region of Adhomai, within the Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai under military junta control. SCC Central Command has complete confidence the Horizon will be capable of performing search and rescue activities in spite of present hostilities. However, this is not carte blanche to ignore decency and reasonability in actions while performing operational duties. Any actions that unnecessarily harm local populations or the Conglomerate's public image will result in punitive action. Known Information Shuttle: SCCV Jaunter Flight Path: Crevus -> Orbital station positioned above Nas'kin Ocean Cause of Crash: Unknown Pilot: Mahrikha Qavnariik Last Known Location: Southern Harr'masir-Din'akk border Local Authority: Adhomian Liberation Army Junta of Rhaza-Akhran Muharajuurl Muhr'fal Operation Goals Secure shuttle blackbox. Locate shuttle pilot. Ensure health and safety of shuttle pilot. Recover testimonial information from shuttle pilot. Secure shuttle cargo. Listed Operation Goals are ordered in position of priority. Failure to meet any Operational Goal may result in investigation. Information Gathering The SCCV Horizon is encouraged to seek out and secure information pertaining to Democratic People's Republic activities as well as information pertaining to the SCCV Jaunter, her crew, and her cargo. All information gathered will be CONFIDENTIAL until review. All information must be secured and submitted to Central Command or Sector Administration without unnecessary delay. Any and all individuals detained or otherwise secured by the SCCV Horizon are expected to receive fair treatment per Standard Operating Procedure. Central Command and Sector Administration must be informed of any individuals detained or otherwise secured. Following review, these individuals may be transferred at the nearest SCC station or capable vessel. The Horizon is encouraged, but not required, to gather information from detained individuals. These methods should following Standard Operating Procedures. Operational Funding and Supply Funding and supplies will following Standard Operating Procedures unless otherwise determined by Sector Administration and Horizon Command. Per-mission funding and supply concessions may be required. All departments are advised to submit requests for per-mission supplies prior to the start of associated mission shifts for sufficient time to transport materials from local depots and stations. Funding may be raised prior to anticipated high-cost missions to prevent potential funding pitfalls during operational activities. Should such cases occur prior to completion of mission goals, requests for heightened funding may be raised by standard Central Command fax. All requests for raised funding will result in review and investigation to prevent fraudulent activities. Conclusion Horizon, this operation is sudden on all sides. However, you are being entrusted to handle this matter swiftly and appropriately. Get our pilot and shuttle secured. We are counting on you.
