Excerpt from the scout pilot’s private journal Waiting for a suitable wormhole to open for our own POS installation, I decided not to waste the time and scouted the neighbouring system instead. The connection dropped me into a C2 with statics to high-sec and C4. Coming out of warp, d-scan delivered an unsettling picture: a … High risk / high reward
== Pilot’s personal log extract == The plan for the day was simple: refuel the station. Before leaving, I ran a quick scan of the system — two wormholes, both our known statics, and two data sites I hadn’t seen before. The statics were untouched, which meant no one had come through. I was alone. … Warpath: Strategic Infiltration
Operational reports from enclave: the POS installation took several days. Stage One. Finding the exit. The objective was straightforward to state and difficult to execute: locate a high-sec wormhole within practical distance of Jita. It began with the pilot scanning the home system. The high-sec static led into Minmatar space, but it was already at … POS is up!
The Admiral was reviewing two reports from the stellar enclave. Combat report The combat report arrived first. Over the weekend, our scout pilot found himself the target of a Tengu — the strategic cruiser that serves as the universal workhorse of wormhole space. He spotted it during routine scanning. Combat probes appeared almost immediately after. … Starbase to be!
== Pilot’s personal log extract == Over the past few days, I have seen more ships in wormhole space than I had in a long time. Three times I was hunted with combat probes, and once I found myself in direct sight of a pirate cruiser while scouting. But let me put it all in … Watching the Dangers of Wormholes
Admiral’s desk was covered with a stack of reports from the C2 expedition. Reports on cleared anomalies: difficult, but manageable. In one engagement the pilot had to warp out to regenerate shields, but the ship is intact. An acceptable operational risk. Reports on data and relic sites are more interesting. Over 100 million ISK from … C2 Security and Habitability Review
The Admiral reviewed the latest reports from the expedition to the lost stars. This was the system, scouted in the last report. A C2 with no environmental effects, statics to high-sec and to a C1. According to the Imperial killboard, a seven-versus-seven engagement had taken place here not long ago. In wormhole space, that is … Securing the New System
There is a strange feeling that comes after leaving a place you once called home. By the time the decision had fully materialized, the combat pilot and the scout had already departed from our old C1 system. The system that, for a time, had been ours. The one whose static we knew by heart. Only … The Home I Left Behind
The vote has concluded, and the decision was made to look for a new C2 system. Now it was time to turn that decision into an actual route. Excerpt from the scout pilot’s private journal When we were studying at the flight academy, one of the subjects was “History and Mythology of Ancient Civilizations.” Among … Searching for a New Home
News from our enclave in a lost star system. The Research and Development Division has completed its analysis of a potential operation to eliminate the resident citadel. The final report turned out to be… discouraging. With the current capabilities of the combat capsuleer, the outgoing damage of a single pilot is insufficient to overcome shield … Should I stay or should I go?
