Guild internal communique: Tau assets preservation.

Fellow Guildsmen.

The news from Cortez have reached us: the anti-gallic coalition have celebrated their another success, and battleship Betheny, while standing gallantly in the wake of the overwhelming opposing force, have fell victim to her offenders.
While a fact of a distant brawls between the forces far beyond our reach seems to be of a minor interest to The Guild - i urge you not to live in a delusional world you withness from behind the pink glassess, and not to pretend our stations are safe; the allied coaltion's next strike might happen anywhere within their reach.

It is my job to make sure the Guild is prepared for the odds that are yet to come.

First, and foremost, with my authority of the Guildmaster i impose a strict regiment regarding any capital ships within the 10 kilometers range from any installation in Tau region - Holman, Java, Singapore and Jakarta. Their clearance is to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis after an official communique attented by a Guildmaster, prior to that - they are obliged to unconditionally leave the designated area.
Crayter clearance to access Singapore drydock for maintenance and refuelling is not revoked until further notice, but this is only applicable to the vessels bearing the official Republic transponders (=CR=).
Vessels not bearing the callsign are an exempt from this, and thus the above rule is applicable to them, and they are to vacate the area unconditionally.
The above policy is applied to Java Station, Holman Outpost, Jakarta Orbital Colony and Singapore Shipyard.

Second - we have to be prepared for the possible case of Holman ending up in the middle of combat.
The orders regadring it are as follows:

Holman and Java garrison are to be significantly bolstered to enforce the policy from the paragraph one; it will be likely ignored in case a full scale combat ensues. The following order will be effective in case it's vicinity is becoming a battlefield.
In case the area around Holman or Java is becoming a battlefield - the local forces are to surround the installation endangered and be prepared to retaliate to any inevitable threat. We have to be honest - Bretonia and it's pawns are more than happy to have the guildsmen in their dry stats of the operation's victims.
None of their command is going to be concerned about the attendant victims.
A threat of any origin to the aforementioned installations is to be neutralised, otherwise the local forces are not to act in favor of any of the combatants. Preserving our own assets is our highest priority.
To ensure the higher probability of success of the above paragraphs - both Java and Holman are to be accomodated with 3.000 (three thousand) Marines and 20.000 (twenty thousand) units of Ablative Armor plating for the external fortifications.

The above orders are effective immediately.
