Subject: Hispania Mission Priyet,
This is Alexandra Nikolev, Lieutenant of the People's Army.
This Message Dump will record my actions on this day, as of 5:18 PM, 10/2/823 as of Standard Sirian Reckoning.
I began my patrol from the Omega-52 System, intending to inspect the defenses of our Allies in Baffin, To check on the updates since the last recomendation had been made. Rather than taking the shorter route through Bretonia, I decided to engage a full patrol, taking in the Omegas, Rheinland, and Hudson of the Independent Worlds. My trip through Rheinland was uneventful, and I went unnoticed, save for a lone Daumann trader whom caught me briefly on it's scanners.
Entering Hudson, and then Liberty, I encountered Numerous Liberty Navy Vessels on long range scanners, however, I avoided a directedly hostile encounter. Zeal and Skill are of course meritable, but a dead pilot is of use to no one, outside of it's orders. Avoiding the Naval Patrols, I progressed through New York, California and Cortez, into Coronado.
In Coronado Itself, I encountered a Congressman, whom wished me a good day, I replied in kind, and entered the Baffin system. Taking a thorough look at the system's defenses...I find them woefully lacking. Any kind of determined force, large than a patrol, could easily siege and occupy the system, through it's numerous Jump Holes.
This Officer recommends the construction of multiple heavy weapon platforms, or a permanent defensive base, rather than a shipyard and colony, in order to protect it more thoroughly. Where they to reach out to us, brave and intelligent Coalition Engineers could easily construct them a mighty defensive installation.
