	Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of ~~not facing~~ the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, ~~of course, effectively~~ turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.		Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of never having to face the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, turning me into what I am right now.

	~~The victory over such an enemy came at~~ a ~~price going far beyond~~ the ~~meaning of what we learned from~~ past ~~history, when it comes to conflicts~~. ~~There was a military victory~~, ~~at least a local one~~, ~~and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors~~. ~~But a seal was imposed, and one system had~~ to be ~~cut off from~~ the ~~others, dismantling decades~~ of ~~space colonization~~ in ~~fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory~~.		I am now obsessed and deeply concerned by something that I believed for the longest time to be but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of their days thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node in Delta Serpentis and beyond.

	We ~~have no idea about~~ the ~~evolution of~~ the ~~conflict on the other side~~ of the ~~node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder~~, ~~however, if~~ the ~~war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form~~ of ~~a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing~~ of a ~~system from~~ the ~~cosmic net~~ of ~~subspace flow~~.		The victory over the Shivans came at an unprecedented cost. We destroyed the Lucifer, but in so doing we were severed from the rest of the galaxy, and the rest of humanity was severed from its homeworld. Decades of space colonization were dismantled at a stroke. That was the cost of our victory.

	Is this the ~~lesson learnt from~~ the Destroyers? ~~Disappear~~ into the oblivion of endless space, with ~~your~~ species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution ~~over~~ a galactic conflict with an enemy ~~that won't come for~~ your ~~resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace~~?		We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, third or even fourth sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.

			Is this the choice the Destroyers have forced us to make? Do we disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with our species going extinct, or do we merely slow down the process by self-isolating? Is isolation the final solution to a galactic conflict with an implacable enemy who’s only aim is your extermination?

	Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?

We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of traversing unstable jump nodes, thus proving that such drives may be theoretically possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?

	Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices ~~committed~~ by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we ~~accept~~ the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is ~~driven~~ by somebody?

If we reopen the jump node to Sol, would we also be holding the door open for the Shivans as well? Is this a risk we are prepared to take? Do we have the right to imperil the people of Sol? These are the questions we need answering, but will the GTVA allow us to try?

	The Top-Brass maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their huge cargo capacity for quite a while. The reason? Morale.

Can you imagine how much worse it would have been if they had to admit that they trounced us in logistics, comms, sensors and Electronic Warfare too? That’s my hypothesis anyway.

	We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.

	~~One thing I can tell~~ for ~~sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing~~ a ~~destroyer or similar warship~~. ~~You're there, out in~~ the ~~void of space~~, ~~pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck~~, ~~except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored~~, ~~armed~~ and ~~protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers~~. ~~Think about~~ that, ~~let it sink in~~, ~~then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength~~ and ~~range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained~~. ~~No missiles that required a lock could~~ be ~~launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.~~		The Top-Brass maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their huge cargo capacity for quite a while. The reason? Morale. It was bad enough they had to admit that the Shivans had us beat when it came to numbers, shields, weapons, hyperspace mastery and what not. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been if they had to admit that they trounced us in logistics, comms, sensors and Electronic Warfare too? That’s my hypothesis anyway. Could there be something else behind it as well? Who knows?

	~~A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut~~ you ~~off from your allies, their messages, their calls~~ for ~~help and so on. That~~ was a ~~powerful weapon~~, ~~too~~, at ~~times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was~~ a ~~drawback to the Doomtrains~~, ~~however: as we suspected~~, and ~~later tested directly in combat~~, ~~the destruction of any of the components in the chain~~, ~~including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction~~ of ~~all following units~~. ~~The mechanism by which this happened~~, ~~according to undisclosed information~~, ~~was probably due~~ to ~~an automated Shivan mechanism that~~ would ~~self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by~~ any ~~kind of enemy~~.		One thing I can tell you for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're out there, in the void of space, pretending you are shooting at a sitting duck, except this sitting duck and its cargo are shooting back at you, and they are better armed, armored, and protected than one of our Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missile that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.

	We ~~then assumed~~ that only the most ~~sensitive cargo~~ would be carried by ~~Doomtrains~~. ~~Attempts~~ to ~~even try~~ and ~~scan~~ the ~~cargo proved impossible,~~ due to ~~the intense jamming field and~~ the self-destruct mechanism. ~~Never in~~ our ~~interstellar conflicts~~ have ~~we seen~~ such a ~~mysterious, deceptive and intriguing~~ freighter. ~~It's not~~ the ~~ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics~~, ~~as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat~~. ~~But~~ what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their ~~precious~~ cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.		It gets worse. That jamming field also scrambles your sensors, so your situational awareness turns to crud. It screws with your coms too, so you are cut off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. This cuts both ways of course, so you can’t call out to them for help either, and if your secondary banks run dry you can forget about calling in a support ship to rearm. This isolation was a powerful psychological weapon, at times more frightening than their turrets.

			We suspected the Doomtrains had a weakness however, and when we were finally able to put it to the test, we were proved right. Destroy any of the components in the train and it would trigger a chain reaction, destroying the components next to it. Kill the freighter itself and all ten of the SAC 4’s it was towing would go up in flames right along with it. Classic domino effect, beautiful. We were not sure why this would happen, but we guessed it was a self-destruct mechanism designed to prevent their tech from being captured by an enemy.

			The brass figured that only the most vital supplies and components would be carried by Iksuras. I know the brass were salivating over the chance to scan one of those things. Trust me, we tried, but against that jamming it simply wasn’t happening. Capturing one and opening it up for a look-see was off the table too due to the self-destruct mechanism. Whatever those things were carrying, the Shivans really didn’t want us getting our hands on it.

			Who would have thought such a strategic headache could stem from a mere freighter? Freighters were supposed to be easy prey - the targets rooks cut their teeth on while us veterans mixed it up with the fighters. Clearly, the Shivans didn’t get that memo, or they weren’t playing by the rules.

			Now think on this - what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their mysterious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.

	Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.

	Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps.
