Saludos Consul Luciano

Gracias Hermano.
Our efforts in Cayman has however not gone unnoticed. We have seen increased patrols from SCRA and with the Civilian group SCEC having some sort of research that they are performing near Shadowhaven, they too are constantly involved in military clashes. We have had more encounters with the commies then we initially expected. This led to some patrols being completely overwhelmed in the commies space. We have however increased our aggression and attack sizes in Cayman to match any movement that the commies are trying to make. So far they were barely able to mobilize before would strike them. I would not underestimate their resolve in defending Shadowhaven. But Apostatas forces are learning the tactics that the commies are using and we are becoming more adapt with their defenses.

Gaining the station would be vital to controlling Cayman, as rebuilding one would simply take too long and resources that could be better spend elsewhere. Gaining Cayman would majorly help in unifying the defensive lines. I suspect that with a combined strike from TBH, ApS and Custodi we would be able to take the station. It will however not be easy and I estimate that we would need a subbstantial amount time to prepare properly. However with a unified front in O-47 we would be able to greatly relieve the pressure from TBH forces and maybe even push the Hessian forces back. In efforts to assist TBH in O-47 we will send patrols as you suggested.

I am glad that you see the value in gaining dominance in Cayman. Apostatas will continue to build the strength of the Empire in Cayman and push the commies back. It will also not be long until we have some space in Antikythera where we would be able to at least construct snub craft size ships. This would increase the Apostatas fleet size in Cayman.

In short. Cayman will be taken in due time. Or we shall die trying.
