From: Junior Lieutenant Artem Stukov To: SCRA High Command Subject: Reconnaissance Report Stukov reporting in. Battleship Fes' exact location in Omega-49 is 3G. Judging by it's exterior, scanner readings and turret projectiles fired upon me, it's a refitted Osiris-class battleship. Installed armaments are well suited against heavy targets such as Gunboats and Destroyers, but Fes seems to lack any anti-snub weapons. Massive bomber attack might be a good option to recycle Fes into scrap metal. I don't have any information about any light or medium craft within the battleship's docking bays, so, watch out for possible fighter ambush.
Jumphole from Omega-49 to Cayman is heavily guarded by Reapers. There's three weapons platforms located in 4km from the jumphole, accompanied by the Ranseur-class battleship Fuen Lebrada. Like in case with Fes, both platforms and battleship are badly fitted against agile targets.
Our primary target should be the Shadowhaven Station. It's a massive starbase of an unknown class, orbiting the planet Braillia. Station configuration, power signatures of many facilities and count of highly encrypted transmissions going to and from the base indicates that the Shadowhaven is the capital base of Reapers as well as their main command center. If we want to disorientate the main Reapers forces, we should destroy the base as fast as possible.
Reapers also have three auxiliary bases in the system. First is Antikythera Shipyard, an Utopian Deliverer class shipyard, located in 2G. It has a huge moor where a ship of almost any size, including battleship, can be repaired. Next is Manatum Repair Station located in F6, serving the same purpose. The last is Kara Stellar Lab, located within a big radioactive minefield in 3B. Any light craft should not enter the minefield: immense radiation, combined with high-explosive mines, will shred apart any snub within mere seconds. If we will need to use a big bomber party against the lab, then we will need a party van for it.
The next interesting part is stellar bodies. First and main is the above-mentioned Planet Brailia. It is a highly radioactive, cold world with dying little Reapers presence. Even the upper atmosphere is polluted with radioactive isotopes and something which looks like Liquid Cardamine. I dunno what the Reapers did with the planet, but the result is catastrophic. Next is the moon Bactun orbiting Brailia, which seems to be very rich in resources. It has little to no atmosphere, relatively low escape velocity and smooth surface can make this moon a reliable source of metals and minerals for ship construction. The last planet is planet Fuere located near Manatum, a gas giant with valuable gases in upper atmosphere which can be converted into fuel for Reapers fleet... or for our own.
