Men,

I anticipate being kept dirtside over the next few days due to some administrative obligations. In the meantime, I have an assignment for you.

Major Arland will take point on this - look to him for guidance.

I was recently in contact with an old connection of mine with the Colonial Republic. He told me about a system I was previously unaware of out near our zone of operation. He said it was called Tau-44 and used to be the home system of the Colonials, years ago.

When the Gauls came in, it was one of the first to fall, and apparently they set up a forward operating base on one of the old Republic stations. This seems to be a very important system for us to be prepared to operate in, and thus I want it scouted.

Your assignment is to locate this system and perform as much recon as you are able to. Parameters are as follows:

1. Search for the entrance to this system in Tau-23. I have been led to believe it will be somewhere in the highlighted area on this chart:

2. Enter the system, keeping a low profile. Proceed to chart it from outer edges to system primary, making note of all installations you detect.

3. If a Gallic force of any threatening size is encountered, you are to immediately abort mission and return to base at best speed.

4. Upon completion, report to me in this channel.

Best of luck, gentlemen. I look forward to seeing what you can do.

Regards,

Col. Sir Avery Stirling
CO, Her Majesty's Own Commando Regiment
