YC123.01.31 - Unlikely Friends

 //PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC123.01.31 So I have found myself spending more and more time at the Hissi Fit Lounge. Ms Brezia had sent me an Evemail the other week offering a drink and chat. I was nervous at first as it was my second time in Venal and the first time by myself. But like before the offer was with the reassurance that I would be left alone by the Guristas that lived there. We spoke and drank and she proposed I joined her and a few members of her corporation on a roam into Nullsec. A way to make amends from before and also to get to know each other a bit more. I hadn't really known who Lauralite Anne Brezia was, other than what I thought was a scary Gursitas Leader who owned a bar in Venal. Turns out being a capsuleer affords you a lot of attention and Ms Brezia is no exception. After a short search on Galnet, I was bombarded with information about her. From her publications of various projects and initiatives  to  her growing arcolo...

YC123.01.27 - Anna Ahmatova-Requiem

Image
//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY   CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE   YC123.01.27 Much like the events in Basgerin, the Nadire region has been subject to the hands of pirates. I say pirates because that is what these capsuleers are. They lie, steal, and ransom people and corporations out of their ISK and blow their ships up for  fun . No other label fits more than Pirate. Yesterday we were given intel that a Raitaru class structure belonging to a corporation called Get Silents  in the Goinard system was to transition to its Abandoned state . Our hope was to ensure that the ships and equipment left inside would be safely transported out and that a safe dismantling of the structure could take place. This was not to be the case, the scheduled time had been off and we had waited for nothing. Today at 17:49 the structure had transited, a whole twenty-four hours later! To make matters worse,  Shadow Cartel had been privy to this intel and had already begun their own form of disman...

YC123.01.22 - Battle in Basgerin

Image
//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY   CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE   YC123.01.22 Max Singularity It's the morning after the biggest battle I have ever been apart of. Our corporation once again heeded the call for aid from our allies Electus Matari . I have been learning a lot from our friends, so when the ping came through, I welcomed it eagerly. This time it wasn't a military objective though, it was an opportunity to hit back at a very large and obnoxious thorn in the side of the cluster. That thorn would be none other than Snuffed Out . An announcement on Galnet was made by a famous capsuleer named Max Singularity , dubbed The Space Pope by the wider capsuleer community, stating that Snuffed Out was holding his structure to ransom . Located in the  Basgerin  system, it is a cul-de-sac low-security system and home to several Sixth Empire freeports that many use due to its central proximity in the cluster. There were many factions flying different banners in the system la...

YC123.01.13 - Upwell Consortium

Image
//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC123.01.13 Only a short entry today but an important one as it might affect our corporation. There was an announcement made a couple of months ago by  Upwell Consortium  that they would start implementing changes to their structures. Aura link the article [NEOCOM - GALNET -  UPWELL CONSORTIUM ] Yesterday we saw the final stage of those changes in the form of quantum cores now being required to power certain functions of the structure. They are costly even to capsuleer standards but without one, a structure can still be operational. What it does mean is that quite a few services that we as pilots rely on will not be supported. This raises the question to leadership, not just to Charles or Edward, but to many CEOs that own structures. Do they carry on without; leaving the station vulnerable without the proper support to defend it? Or do they install a core and potentially make themselves a target to a corporation who woul...

YC123.01.10 - Faction Warfare

Image
//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY   CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE  YC123.01.11 Electus Matari We deployed to the southern theatre last night to led aid to our allies  Electus Matari . The operation was their third attempt to anchor an Astrahus in Ardar right next to the Floseswin gate. If deployed it would have provided an excellent staging area for the already intense fighting that has been going on in that infamous system. The war between the Empires has raged for years but every so often the balance is shifted in one way or another. It is clear that the recent rumours of House Sarum readying a new invasion plan of Floseswin IV had a deciding factor for EM to join the militia. Julianus Soter  What we didn't expect was the  Villore Accords joining the Minmatar militia also. The announcement from their leader; Julianus Soter to leave the Federation militia at the end of last year was sad but not surprising. Aura link both the announcements [NEOCOM - GALNET - JULIANU...

YC123.01.03 - Nadire Security Consultants

Image
 //PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY  CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE  YC123.01.03 At the end of YC121 the Nadire District Parliament exercised its franchise powers to secure a Shipping & Security provider aligned with the values of its member states and the greater Federation. Two years on the NADSC is still patrolling the constellation, marking and tracking down know capsuleers and non-capsuleer groups that disrupt the systems. It was requested by the Nadire District Parliament to carry out an assessment of the constellation updating them on the progress we have made and the ongoing operations. As one of the newer members and partly to redeem myself, I have volunteered to prepared and present our findings to them. Last year Commander Adams and Captain  Androidson  carried out an Astrogeological Survey on the moons and asteroid belts in the systems. I mention this because I noticed a pattern from the few deployments we made into the constellation. The majority of those th...
