And now , news. Our war correspondent , Andrew Tann is going to keep us updated.

Thank you Sheila and hello ladies and gentlemen.

-The fighting in Tau 44 started a few days as was reported and the fights are among the hardest ever , as the Royalists forces knows that if they falter , the system is forfeited.
The main fighting is taking place in several quadrants , south of planet Malakka. The hot spots were in quadrants 3F , 4F, 4E where the Combined Fleet of Crayter Republic and Council smashed the lines of Gallic defenders and by doing so they secure the asteroid field and the wreck of the former Colonial Freedom Fighters.

-Our fighter pilots and council engaged the Gallic ships in 5F several times but they were repelled taking looses.

-Meanwhile , elements from Battlegroup Hades are moving towards the Sulawesi and trying to reach Minato , but they encounter heavy resistance from the Gallic Navy. The fleet failed to report the number of casualties in this matter.

-In this moment , new assaults are made towards the Minato station and planet Borneo , seeking to secure the south part of the system , and thus making more accessible an attack on Sulawesi.


-As part of the battle plan, Crayter Republic and Council forces are using the asteroid fields of Tau 23 and Tau 31 to harass and to attack , using a hit and run technique , to keep the forces of Gallic Navy occupied and thus been unable to send reinforcements in the Tau 44.

-Pytho squadrons and Nyx fighters , supplemented with a handful of Hydra , are causing as much havoc in the supply lines , forcing the Royal Navy to detach squadrons in their pursuit. Using the mentioned technique , by the time the Royal patrol is reaching the place, the Allied ships are already in a different spot , launching another surprise attack.

-To make matters worse for the Royalists fleet and keeping the at disarray , the Crayter Republic dispatch also ships from the Home Defense to engage any Royalist target in Leeds system , with orders to inflict maximum damage. The incursions are led by the Thanatos class ships.

-The Crayterian ships uses the West and East Leeds smog cloud to escape any pursuers. The ships are expected to cause as much damage and to out in the Leeds system for as long as Operation Reclaim is active.

-Thank you , Sheila

Thank you Andrew.

-The Ares Logistics had managed to slip through Gallic lines and they reached planet Yuma carrying several of the injured personnel in the Tau 44 fights, which are now treated in the Yuma Medical Center for burns of various degrees.

-Most of the injured is wearing the uniform of Nyx and Pytho crew pilots as well as several technicians among them .

-List with the names of the injured personnel will be made public after 12:00 pm by the Military Authorities.

-A note of concern was noted today in the Crayterian Government , as there was rumors about an impending attack by the Outcasts against Crayterian Installations. Forty minutes after the strange activity was noted in the building , a flurry of activity hit the ISE and 53rd ships , more then 20 taking off in a matter of minutes.

Unofficial sources claims that the ships are carrying technicians and crew for Minerva Research Station in an attempt to strip the station and to save all the data stored on the base computers. The same source confirmed that the target is actually no other then Minerva Station.

-We have here with us , Mr Perry Hawkins , well known author and former Military Officer. Hello! Please tell me and our spectators , what are the chances of this rumor to be true ?

-Hello Sheila and greetings fellow Crayterians. First , I want to say that is a huge honor for me to be here in this studio. Now , yes. Tactical , we are in a bad position at the moment. The Coronado system is at the Junction between Border Worlds and Liberty , making thus this as a transit system for the Outcasts transports. Now , let's see , we are a Republic with a long hostile stance toward the Outcasts and we just occupied this system and claimed a home here on Yuma. Our fleets are now operating far from home , in Tau 44 , Tau 23 , Tau 31 and now , with the recent deployment in Leeds as well, making Coronado vulnerable. If I would be an Outcast leader , THIS is the moment to strike.

-When do you think we will attacked ?

-It may be matters of days , weeks. Remember , they also need to pass their ships through contested systems now and they need to make a stealth operation if they want to exploit this at maximum.

-How is the government responding ? Adequate ?

-Our government response will be seen in the next few hours , or days but seeing the activity from ISE and 53rd I am just expecting for Hephaestus to appear and I think we will see some additional fortifications .

-Thank you Mr Perry.

-My pleasure , Sheila

-Two hundred thousands signed today a petition .......
