Attention all Pinnacle-affiliated Militants and military partners:

Group Clarion has come into intelligence that suggests we have a opportunity to give Pinnacle a leg up in critical spaceframe materials. One of my contract privateers disabled a Universal personnel transport bound for Harrisburg not long ago. Thanks to the assistance of a Xeno Alliance transport, we recovered the luxury passenger module intact - along with its occupant, Commercial Operations Manager Kylie Song.

Though a mid-level manager, extensive questioning of Mrs. Song has provided us details on recent Liberty military procurement efforts, in which Universal Shipping is a preferred contractor. This information seems corroborated by a recent public press release, indicating the Liberty Navy is ramping up production and mobilization.

Our "guest" informs us that this will be, in part, fueled by a transfer of material with the Kingdom of Bretonia - freshly-built Libertonian Avionic and Interior Systems to compensate for the expedited return of vast quantities of Lend-Lease parts and machinery that sustained the war effort against the Gauls.

That equipment served a noble goal. It should continue to do so, in our hands. Pinnacle needs this advantage.

Contractor shipping, as well as House merchant marine operations, are expected to run to near the end of this month, with goods flowing in and out of Norfolk Shipyard to and from Bretonia. Expect Liberty forces to guard the lanes towards Cortez and Magellan well, and potentially BAF escorts and transports alongside their own shipping corps. Despite the danger, striking along this avenue is highly recommended at this time.

If you do encounter Bretonian forces, use your discretion. The Republic occupation remains our principal foe, but we can't afford to allow transfer of military goods to and from our enemy unimpeded. If BAF escorts attempt to stop your cargo acquisition, remember: we need those supplies. Do what you must to get that material back to Pinnacle.

I've pushed our sole transport, the EMS Leatherwood, into a raiding role mooring at Fontana Freeport. They'll be more than willing to assist operations in the field. Those of you with similar capabilities, now's the time to use them.

Let's see how much we can get away with. Good luck.
