To: Fleet Admiral Michael Richard | Crayterian Republic

Admiral Richard,

I was informed by Templar Ganes - The First Officer of the Arktos, that you requested to hear from the Inner Phalanx in regards to the deteriorating situation within and around Crayter space.

Naturally, if you haven't been made aware, the LNS Salem was dispatched with permission - according to its commanding officer - to orbit planet Pecos in regards to the kidnapping of Vice Admiral Alexis Hunter and the death of Admiral Jack O'Neil, at the hands of the local infested forces of Tau-117, or Drake as it's more commonly known. In addition to this, despite the disagreements and previous hostilities between the Republic and Auxesia, several members of the Navy have requested our aid in regards to this dire situation before it escalates any further.

Vice Admiral Alexis Hunter was kidnapped by individuals identified as Milly Stone - Believed to be a pilot within the Order at one point, and Rosalina Rominov, a former Core Paladin. They managed to sneak on board the Siege Cruiser Thalia Grace, where Admiral O'Neil was critically injured and Vice Admiral Hunter taken. O'Neil, as we've been informed, succumbed to his injuries later in the hospital. The two perpetrators made their escape with the Navy First fleet, Fifth fleet, and some Second fleet forces in tow, before they encountered an Auxesian patrol in Coronado and were interdicted by the Hussar wing. A single enemy contact - a Nodachi Bomber of Dragon origin, sporting Order technology, was shot down. The second contact - Rosalina Romanov, was in a Wraith from Rheinland, likely taken from her time in the Core. Unfortunately, Romanov managed to escape via the extraterrestrial jumpgate hidden within the Barrier, carrying the Admiral and her comrade.

[01.08.2016 01:56:11] D9|Lyoko: *The message goes threw, showing the figure surrounded by a armed crew of people that looked akin to her* Hello naval officers-

[01.08.2016 01:56:40] D9|Lyoko: after today, with the death of one admiral, and the capturing of another, I'm starting to wonder what is going on with you...

[01.08.2016 01:56:57] D9|Lyoko: though one thing is funny, if the LSf had not got involved, none of this would of ever happened...

[01.08.2016 01:57:45] D9|Lyoko: ?: Allow me to finally..properly introduce myself...

[01.08.2016 01:58:11] D9|Lyoko: ?: My name, is Milly Stone...

[01.08.2016 01:59:15] D9|Lyoko: ?: Now. Why do you care, or should you care is simple...right now I am deciding the fate of Alexis..if I should let her go...

[01.08.2016 01:59:41] D9|Lyoko: join us or...something else...I'm sending this message as a warning...one false move...and she joins the dead 

[01.08.2016 01:59:50] D9|Lyoko: admiral in grace... *the message ends with that*

It was then we were contacted by the ESRD to aid in intelligence collection and recovery. By the next day, an Order Hathor flown by Milly Stone was chased from Liberty by various forces, including ours and the pilot Hellfire from your fleets. Thanks to his help in interdicting the vessel, it was destroyed, and its pilot taken in to custody by the Fifth Fleet of the Liberty Navy. However, as we've discovered after a skirmish in Coronado in cooperation with your forces, the pilot has somehow managed to escape. Of course, the forces of yours were recovered and returned to Barrier Gate safely, along with those we've lost. Not long after that skirmish, Admiral Hall of the Bretonian Armed Forces came under fire by a Kusarian Komainu Battlecruiser and a Guardian Class Nomad of immense firepower within Cortez. The Arktos, Eidolon Wraith, LNS Vengeance and Destroyer dubbed the Shovel provided fire support and managed to save the Admiral's life, but the Battlecruiser managed to evade capture and destruction.

Unfortunately, following the destruction of the Nomad, the Arktos and Wraith came under fire from the Vengeance despite a direct order from an ESRD pilot to not engage. Regretfully, the vessel was lost to the combined firepower of the Auxesian assets, who received minimal damage.

Visual: LNS Vengeance

In addition, the recent arrival of the Order in the region has sparked some conflict. The Horus capital vessel Razgriz was deployed, who has been quite friendly in comparison to his associates. As I'm sure your pilots mentioned, the Order were present in the system of Baffin, along with a Lane Hacker vessel which they were hell bent on keeping away from anyone. Doing so, they allowed several Nomad and Nomad-affiliated contacts to enter the system unchecked. Despite stating we have no interest in conflict, and despite the No-Fire Zone that spans the system, the Order agents opened fire upon our vessels, and after repeated attempts to tell them to cease fire, our forces defended themselves.

It was here another wing of infested forces approached, leaving the Order to run for the hills while one interceptor attempted to cover an Order agent that came under fire. However, upon entering Tau-29 - A system which you claim and enforce your laws in readily, a Blood Dragon Armada of Battleships, cruisers, and gunboats had opened fire on our forces, despite obvious intentions of aid.

Currently, various summits are being held between the Razgriz, Salem, and Auxesian forces as representitives of the joint operation with the intent of recovering the Vice Admiral. I believe the Navy intended to involve the Crayter Republic, but with the increase of infested strikes across the system as well as Liberty, and the conflict brewing between the LSF and Navy, on top of the war with Gallia, they've lacked the time to make official contact.

I trust this aids in explaining the scenario to you, and I doubt I am alone when I say I hope the Crayter Republic chooses to involve its self and aid in the coming purge.
