Unfortunately it is the nature of life in 0.0 (at least, the way we’re living it) creates political situations and security concerns regarding what information can or cannot be released to the public.  Thus, as this Chronicle is being publicly broadcast, I have had precious little to log here of late.

That said, I wanted to let anyone who is following DFIAS’ progress know that we are still very much alive, our skills as pilots are improving and our position in New Eden is looking better and better for the future.

¶ The word Capsuleer carries a lot of weight in New Eden. We are the elite of society. The creme of the crop. We’re the pilots who are so skilled and so valuable, that the four empires don’t dare offend us by telling us what we can and cannot do, who we can and cannot work for, for fear of offending us to the point where we won’t work for them at all. The powers that be field similar ships to the heavily modified models we fly, but they’re not piloted by Capsuleers; they’re manned by conventionally trained pilots, men and women who failed to make the grade and their multitudinous crews, whereas our vessels are piloted by ourselves, our highly sophisticated on-board computer systems, and much smaller crews.
¶ However, the simple fact that we are more highly trained than any conventional pilot coming out of the various academies does not make us experts on New Eden. The politics and schemes employed by the larger, more powerful corporations are so deep, so multifaceted, so heavily layered and convoluted that even the average Capsuleer can get lost in the many twists and turns. Add to this that there are so many resources to be found and exploited and that the people in power guard these secrets so jealously that it can be difficult trying to pore over trillions of bits of useless data to find a valuable piece of information you can learn from.
¶ I’ve found just such a piece of information recently, left in the open by a rogue anti-establishment pilot and this piece of information led to much, much more.
