War on three fronts in Liberty!
August 13th, 835 AS
OCS Skidbladnir
Whilst our cause gears up for the front against the Imperials, another demon lays in wait to be slain - the Libertonian hegemon. House Liberty, once seen as an aristocratic cosmopolitan haven, has suffered extensive human rights and social justice losses in recent years - especially in the Texas and Pennsylvania systems. Movements like Chain Link and others have begun undertaking more aggressive doctrines with regards to the likes of LPI and the Liberty Government. It goes without saying how corporatized police forces shouldn't exist, but unfortunately for those born and living in Liberty, corporate greed for both profit and power is the soup du jour - much more, surprisingly, than it is at home between Kishiro and Samura.
Today a statement was made by Commander Hanamura in the face of an impending series of clashes against Liberty beginning to manifest.
" My fellow members of the cause -- Today we find ourselves yet again in interesting times. As we move forward with establishing roots in Sirius once more, and plunge into the fireworks of revolution, we must make a bold decision to exploit an opportunity that fate has given us and our allies. I needn't explain the cause of Erie to you - you all should be quite aware the debt we owe to Zoner Society for the Seraphine and what it did for us and the cause. We shalt not let her sacrifice be in vain - we shall set fires in our hearts and set fire to tyranny across the houses in lockstep with our comrades in arms - for the Seraphine was born of Zoner society, and from them, the pursuit of freedom in our species still lives. These men and women have managed through hardships, struggle and suffering to keep their way of life - to as the former sigil of Freeport 11 bore - dare defend their lives - both physically, and metaphorically. We owe it to the people of Erie, of Pennsylvania to help them rebuke the so called Governor of Erie, Mike Davis, and expel Liberty from Pennsylvania by force. Whilst not all of our forces shall be dedicated to this cause, I have authorized Major Kobayashi of Mizurashi Section to oversee the Campaign in the Pennsylvania Special AOR.
Furthermore, as Liberty rampages into our home, we shall exploit this opportunity here to analyse our enemy, learn of them by way of the Skidbladnir and our fleet of reconnaissance drones, as Liberty takes on the Kaigun and, in what feels like an act of desperation to nip a problem in the bud, the Auxesians in Inverness. Truly, Liberty has made a fatal error - they may be the largest house in the sector, but even goliaths have their limits. We shall exploit this, and teach Kusari that negligence will prove their demise - as Liberty has expressed here and now. And so, members of the Ouroboros - join me in supporting the fight against tyranny and fascism across the houses - for whilst our cause at home awaits - the beast is a parasite across all of Sirius, where causes like our own yearn to exterminate it. Let us take up the flamethrowers and shotguns - and expunge these parasites back to the gates of hell."
The speech was met with rousing praise, with many troops yearning for action, however sadly most won't be seeing it, as the cause demands their presence to ensure the protection of the fleet. Those who are lucky enough, are the 70-man strong Task Force Ramka, led by the OCS Seireka, one of the first post-Maehara sub-capitals to see service in the fleet. A Grendel-class Guided Missile Frigate, the ship is also accompanied by the 11th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, Notak, a flight of Eagles and Rocs that will be basing from the venerable Pinnacle Outpost. Whilst Kobayashi has defered tactical command to the New Dawn Movement and Pennsylvania Liberation Front, led by Siara Solatra and an operator known only as 'COUNTERPOINT', the strategic standing orders are absolute - collaboration with allied forces in the theater to engage and destroy any targets of use or interest to Liberty insofar as to cause extensive debilitating losses and force a withdrawal from the system.
Whilst personnel in Sanzu's command raise concerns about the decision to let outsiders give tactical orders, Kobayashi responded that "My ability to give effective tactical decisions is not my forte - and I would much rather, since Major Song is needed to reinforce the fleet here, have people allied yet experienced, give those in Ramka orders at that level."
Commander Hanamura followed up by saying that "Major Song may be deployed with elements of her command as an attache to Ramka as the situation develops" - giving credence to the idea that Ouroboros presence in Liberty may see a reprisal after the dissolution of the Demeter AOR last year following a surprise suspension of relations with the Auxesian Technocracy, which has yet to be explained.
On the topic of the Auxesian Front, little is known. Signals intelligence reported some sort of presence of the 46th Fleet of the Liberty Navy amassing in Coronado, with a spin up of force projection into Inverness by Crayteria, of which reports state that Auxesia and the Hellfire remnants they are patrons of, Task Force Prometheus have begun to brace for conflict once again in their home system.
It is expected however, as Liberty stretches themselves further thin with the War with Kusari in Galileo, the result of the conflict in Inverness if done at this juncture may end up being yet another catastrophic failure for Liberty, and their Crayterian lapdogs thereby.
Meanwhile on the northern front, clashes continue with the many fleets and independent flotillas of Liberty taking on Kusari's Southern Fleet, which has amassed at Shikoku, and begun to make strides against Liberty. However with the focus against Kusari being a priority for them, we can expect some inroads to be made by Liberty -- As traitorous as it may seem on the surface, to allow our homeland to be invaded - truly it will weaken our foe as we prepare to strike with the other righteous causes of Kusari to secure a foothold from which we can propel ourselves towards New Tokyo.
As I observe the situation across the Sector from the SIFC of the Skidbladnir, watching the intelligence officers move to and fro, watching monitors and making decisions that let us shine a light on this war - The future is dim for Liberty -- but bright for the people of Sirius at large, not just for us in the Ouroboros. To quote Major Song's most.. eloquent of snide remarks - "That feeling when you see two of the people you hate most in the world fighting -- it's a good thing."
