Once again the Gorn Space Command conducted
several ore exploration voyages into Fringe space. Among the
exploration fleet of Gorn vessels were Nightsabres, Prospectors, U.S.S. Voyagers as well as the G.L.A.M. Oasis. Several systems were surveyed for precious metals. The mission was a success and there
were no accidents nor pirate activity was reported. The onset of the
Gorn era has just begun. Prosperity lingers in the depths of the
universe and is yet to be uncovered.

Developments - Mining and pirate outposts
The Gorn remain on the forefront
of space exploration and commerce. Mining exploration surveys have already concluded in over 15 known systems as of now and the Gorn ore database has grown tremendously. Additionally, unidentified space stations have been reported in both 82
Virginia and 61 Eridani, by the broadcasting network of the Sol
governments. The Gorn Space Command will remain vigilant and already
send out scouts to the suggested locations. Our reports describe that
the outposts use a gamma-particle signal disruptor to stay invisible for
long range sensors. Our scouts managed to pinpoint one of the outpost position
near an asteroid belts in one the aforementioned systems. It has been
confirmed that the Outpost was inhabited by pirates of unknown origin.
Interestingly, it turned out that the found outpost in 61 Eridani is merely a pirate trading hub of somehow neutral
nature, thus our scouts could dock on the station without the risk of getting blasted by the artillery of the pirate space station.

After docking on the hidden outpost in 61 Eridani our
scouts were welcomed by a bunch of cyberpunk looking humans. One of the scouts was a Gorn warrior, known as PAVSANG or PVS. It turned
out that they tried to offer PVS a voucher for a dance
bar. PVS humbly rejected while he locked and loaded his blaster using
his mindlink implant. In the next split second our Gorn warrior spotted
another hidden pirate thug several meters away behind a crate, by merely hearing his fearful
breathing sounds. PVS leaps while drawing his blaster and blade and shortly after propels several projectiles at once, which ended in a bloody carnage and a successful operation for the Gorn scout. Gorn
warriors are no match for common station thugs and PVS blasted the mob in the brink of an eye, even though he was outnumbered. This is another illustration
of the advanced weaponry used by the Gorn Hegemony. The ultra-light plate armor
offers a thermal damage resistance which enabled the Gorn to sustain
several phaser shots to the chest. The standard Gorn blasters are equipped with a
mindlink module, overclocked heat sinks and inertia stabilizers. Once again the Gorn managed to survive and prevail the dangers of the universe.
