Comrades.

For those of you who lost relatives to the raiding party of Corsair vessels, you have my sympathies. But do not dwindle under those sorrows, let the grief flow freely into a rightful hate of everything the Corsair Empire stands for and use it as a weapon as a vanguard of the Coalition.

With this said, the tactical report is as follows. A well coordinated and tactfully composed raiding party of the Corsairs breached the Omega-52 anomaly. I ordered the Typhoon handling border control to retreat momentarily given the number of ships about to pass through. An attempt to send the spearhead reeling back was made, however this soon failed and even my attempt to chip away at enemy fighters was thwarted time and time again. As always, we fight worthy enemies. The Murmansk suffered critical damage, as did the Resurgency. Both ships are currently undergoing repairs at Mykolaiv.

The fight was not without small victories however, for their assault of our war-ships was met with the bombardment of the Cruiser leading their formation, likely taking the officers responsible for the incursion down with the ship. It is likely that the Praefect retreated after this as it reportedly suffered fires on all decks. Nevertheless, our defensive wall was breached, our pilots were put to the blade and some slaughtered. The Moskva attempted desperate intervention but was ultimately hounded by the light support craft and forced to limp back to Jiang-Xi's orbital defenses, where it currently remains, it suffered mild damage but no hull breaches.

Agents of the Ministry of Truth believe this assault to have originated from the system of Omega-49, had the Corsairs entered through Omega-5 and its connected systems, we would have had the invaluable assistance of the Hessians in repelling and crushing the Corsair forces. However this was not the case, and it is currently believed that the Cruiser and its accompanying support craft were likely stationed on Gran Canaria and are using the ever so.. "neutral" tendencies of the Zoners to assault New Moscow within a moment's notice.

This cannot stand. I urge the Premier's office to consider a Coalition intervention in the theater of Omega-49 to ensure that the Corsairs upon Gran Canaria are eliminated in entirety. Through vicarious liability and with the actions of harboring enemies of the Coalition, in such a way that they may freely assault our home-system, can be seen as an act of war on part of the Zoners of Gran Canaria. I would be so bold to say that the Bretonian occupation of the system is now justified in my eyes.

You cannot reason with those too weak to see clear enemies. I am hereby requesting permission to deploy a battle-group with the clearance of the Bretonian crown to help bring order to the system by any means necessary. I will not listen to my men die over the fleet-channels like that ever again. Certainly not in New Moscow. To those who will now be re-assigned to our borders in New Moscow, stand strong and remember that the People of the Coalition will rely upon your strength. Your sacrifices do not go in vain and if death must come, die with the light of the People's Freedom in your eyes and take the enemy with you.

In service.

Comrades.

This is a priority dispatch. As of the moment, your only concern is the preservation of Battleship Kassel. Bretonia cannot be allowed to cull the rank and file of our allies, irrespective of whom the aggressor might be. Our tradition is at stake, our independence. The Premier's office has not yet allowed me to consider the assault of Triumvirate assets by Bretonia as an act of war at the moment. But that should not stop us from honouring a long-standing Alliance with the Hessians.

If Bretonia tries to stop you from supplying the Kassel then defy them. If they try to forcefully stop you then I do not care if my next words bring the Commissariat after my jugular, but you must cut through them. We will not be pushed around like the Guild. We will not sit on our hands while bureaucracy ticks along with the pace of those who enjoy excess.

We will not let our brothers in the Red die. To do so would make us all traitors to the Revolution. Our loyalty is with the Triumvirate, with the Coalition. With our proud tradition of teaching the Houses to act within their limits. It is time we rose up from decadence and did what nobody has considered us capable of doing.

We will dictate the political landscape of the stars around us. Not any monarchy. Not any group of savages, but US! And if it is our time to die, then let us make it the most volatile event this pitiful sector of false Governments has ever seen!

Blood for freedom!
