REPORT OF ZONER CORVO PASSAGE THROUGH LIBERTY
BOUND FOR FREEPORT 101 TO DEFEND AGAINST RHEINLAND

1. Immediately before the time-stamp of this report I was contacted, through Liberty authorities, by the captain of a Zoner Corvo seeking safe passage through Liberty. I diverted from my current patrol to assess the situation. The Zoner Corvo, callsign Prestigio, was apparently headed for Omega-15. What followed was a routine safe-passage escourt through Liberty to Cortez with a much more interesting conversation.

2. The Zoner Captain spoke of what LSF signals intelligence collectors have speculated on based on intercepted Omegas chatter. According to the Captain of the Prestigio, Rheinland secondary fleet forces moved on mass to attack Freeport 101 in Omega-15. Rheinland primary fleet and government leadership are told to be privately disavowing the actions of renegade battleship commanders in communiques to Zoner officials. I was told that Zoners are, logically enough, greatly angered by the attack and are moving assets to defend against future aggression.

3. I believe that this represents an opportunity to gain allies in the fight against Rheinland. While Zoners are unlikely, barring future attacks by Rheinland forces, to go on the offensive into Dresden I believe they could be persauded to provide support to our intelligence and special forces operators in the area. Freeport 101 could serve as a safe house for undercover operatives within Rheinland. With sufficient caution existing Zoner supply lines could be leveraged to support LSF TacOps or Navy elite wing attacks behind enemy lines. While Zoner neutrality is a factor I believe we can exploit their fear and anger towards Rheinland. I recommend LSF director level engagement with key Zoner leaders discretely on this opportunity.

4. I also recommend intelligence gatherers focus on finding out more about the Rheinland attack on Freeport 101 so we may better understand the incident. If there is a renegade faction or command breakdown occuring in the Rheinland Military this is an obvious opportunity for Liberty to take the initiative.
