Department of War Operations Planning Department of War Operations Planning FOR IMMEDIATE DISSEMINATION TO BATTLEGROUP COMMANDERS
The Department of War Operations Planning has predicted war with Kusari to be imminent. Projections[1] indicate Kusari industrial capacity to be equal to or greater than our own in the event of total war. DSE has recently accepted[2] a wartime ship production contract but the new warships are not expected to be combat-ready for another six weeks. The Kusari Jump Drive field tests[3] have indicated that the Myoko battlegroup can now directly threaten Manhattan with little to no warning, and with Samura and Kishiro corporate assets as well as Kusari's own domestic terrorists brutalizing DSE civilian miners[4], it is likely that Kusari will resort to more overt measures to seize a monopoly over the Platinum held within Galileo.
The DOWOP Emergency Defense Readiness Assessment has yielded the following results:
Effective immediately, the following zones have been deemed at risk of a surprise attack by the Kusari Naval Forces:
Planet Denver
Pueblo Station
Fort Bush
Detroit Munitions
All battlegroup commanders in the following systems are hereby advised to expect a surprise attack from the Kusari Naval Forces.
