Ryoma's rebels have fled to the Tau systems.

Since revealing themselves to us, their transponder signals differ. Though their craft may be the same, your radar will identify them as hostile targets. For those of you that fly blind, spare a glance to your instruments when you meet a friendly.

Our once-brothers and sisters will be missed, not just by the loss of craft, but their effectiveness as officers. We must not forget that they have been led astray, Ryoma is the root of their treason: the burden is his to bear.
He will pay for his crime, but not today. We will go after them, well informed, when the time is right.

This lull in the storm allows us some time to gain our bearings and secure core assets.

With the loss of units, the vessel construction from Rheinland is more important than ever. We must ensure that those convoys are protected.

Security, rebuilding and training have priority – the Rebels showed us what can be done with a handful of heavy units: what is achievable for them is so for us; let us be ready for them next time and show them what strength loyalty brings.

United we survive
