Last Trader01 message:

Repairs completed and all systems (included navigation, com functions, but excluded thrusters start) successfully tested ... I hope you can read my messages directly again! Alas with this ends good news, all others are not so good.
I tried to test how accurate is nomad sensor station and used independently operating scout device. This one was attacked by big nomad fighters wing and destroyed immediately when passed jump hole from Styx with active thruster. I had to have big luck that my thruster collapsed at jump end and only due this I avoided detection. This mean there is not safe space around jump hole connection and I expect that my ship will be attacked immediately when I will activate thruster ...

Next to that I was able restore partially my ship's space camera records:

Expect heavy resistance when you enter Styx! And I hope will see you around or very near when I will activate my ship engines. Cryo unit activated. Timer set:

Trader01

ATTENTION ALL SILVER ARROWS PILOTS:
Thanks to Your previous effort in decoding message and delivery of requested cargo we will now have a chance to help Trader01 directly! From informations which he was able to sent us is obvious that we can expect heavy resistance on this mission. Next to that we know that Trader01 uses heavily armored and armed APC freighter which is due its size and only moderate agility easy target for fast, quick and very agile Nomad fighters.

MISSION ORDERS:
Your primary task is keep Trader01 alive! and escort him safely to Coalition space. To be able to do this you will need however destroy big sensor structure in Kandiris shortly after you will reach this system. Not doing so will be resulted in mission failure. Data collected by this sensor station cannot fall into Nomad hands and station need to be destroyed at all costs! Its hard, but even in case that will be Trader01 lost, this need to be done. Your secondary task is destroy as many Nomads ships during this operation as possible (included their capital ships).

Recommendations:

• prepare all ships on time at Battleship Deliverance in Sol system (Timer: ). Delay is not an option on this action! (Note: when Trader01 shows in space, he will be immediately in danger!)
• assure that all ships participating on operation can enter safely coalition space (and can use Dark reign ion cannons cover)
• evaluate if can be useful use repair ship (if yes, this ship need to be prepared and docked at Deliverance BS in advance)
• time to reach Trader01 position is crucial, might be good idea to dispatch one wing to move to Kandiris as fast as possible, rescue Trader01 and destroy sensor station
• you can use every external help which will be available! (all Guests are welcome!)

Good luck and good speed pilots on this mission!

The_Cro_Legend: we have enough Repair Ships. Question is, whether is needed for this operation because you can repair BSs on Deliverance. I gave this point for ppl to think about it and decide how they think will be best for them. If someone will decide to bring own repair ship, I'm sure it can be used ... heh, ... it can be fun try fly on this operation only with it (Repair Ship) and repair BSs right in field

I will gladly do it, but I fear cant jump in space sooner as 15-20 prior action start ...

Edit by

Thx all who were there despite technical issues. Sry I not come back when we reach Sovetskaya but Im atm not able download updates ... I will try post few ss got during our way.

@NucNuc: Good to hear that you had nice "race" after! and it looks our pirate friend Poorboy is rly quick! ... See attached SS taken from this operation.

I need transmit to you here Trader01 message where he thanks all who helped him out of troubles. With this he also left a brief note that he decided to investigate strange scanning rays which were coming from Nomad Carrier few moments before he jumped to Mandar. Reports from Gorlowka told he was last time seen heading back to gates leading to Nomads sectors. ... (again )

And now few words from me as Silver Arrows CO: It was nice action which started almost two weeks ago with small coded message and for me was real pleasure to watch how our pilots tried first to investigate what is going on, later in space they worked on small "side" quests (deliver emergency/repair supplies to Trader01 position) and ended (maybe ) with yesterday "Rescue operation".

For participation on this operation SAC decided to grant special awards:

This medal is awarded to a member who distinguished by his/her actions beyond duty. Although she is very busy atm she was able found coding method for Trader first message.

and

:

This medal is awarded to a member who helped in a cause without self interest and just for helping a person in need. Both pilots worked on decoding messages, delivered supplies for Trader01 and were also on rescue operation.

And last one is

who is promoted to rank

. He took lead for rescue expedition and successfully reached Sovetskaya where was later organized "race" action.
