This message is highly encrypted using syndicliga proprietary encryption cryptography through intranet-publicneralink drops and are functionally untracable if no sender address is given. Abuse of Intranet functionality commands community service punishments as listed in regulation five three seven gamma six. security is assumed. Any deliberate or otherwise location triangulation method successfully employed against anonymous transmissions will receive either a one billion credit reward or immediate incarceration dependent upon disclosure and motive. The revanchist council requests that Arbeiters do not squander valuable neuralnet bandwith on the consumption of CNS articles, adult content, or gambling, and advise that the relevant arbeiters employ public terminals for such use, rather than the secure line. Communal enforcement may differ between Reichsarbeitergesellschaft der Alsterian and Landwirtrechbewegung cells. Consult your admin for technical support or contact your resident Neural Technology Help Specialist at www.totallypacifica@notAHacker.net. The Union reminds Arbeiters that "trolling" is not an acceptable standard of political debate, unless aimed at capitalists, fascists, militarists, etc, who lack the neurological prerequisites to engage in such discourse. Southern Unioners are encouraged to remember that the average Unioner's literary age is roughly analogous to a twelve year old on PCP, and are encouraged to avoid engaging in difficult subjects, and are suggested to stick to familiar subjects, such as the market value of cardamine, bundschuh-based footwear puns, and the general terrible quality of life aboard wedel mining station.

Have a glorious day, Comrade user. - Unity, your resident Neuralnet VI.

"Combat reports indicate suprising competence and tactical performance against fascist forces. Whilst I lack Arbeiter Eichel's exuberance, our assets appear superior. The Auxesians do not use their capital-class combatants effectively. Nor do they properly deploy their fighters - they appear to rely on individual accumen rather than having a wider strategic awareness. In short, they fight alike bounty hunters, focused on individual kills, umprepared for a massed asteroid siege."


"The unexpected arrival of the LSF and the Xeno Alliance - even the BDM - to their quarter, in a haphazard commonality of purpose that seems to provide them little overall strategic depth, has not increased the kill-to-loss ratio in their favour. Perhaps they intend to grind us down by outnumbering us, but their chances of success remain doubtful. Bering will remain stalwartly independent thanks to the support of our Unioner independent, Rogue, and Lane Hacker allies. The Seperatists have also provided great assistance against the LSF and the Navy on occasion. "


"It appears that the lessons of the Legion's attack on Pacifica have been learnt. The Technocrats make zero headway against us, and have sustained considerable losses for every gain they make. Our heavier assets outperform and outskill them in combat. The Gaians, who have been stalwart in provisioning us, have mannaged to slip the blockade repeatedly, as have our own logistics transports. The Auxesians are faced with a choice of attacking us at home or intercepting our supply transports in California - they cannot do both. The Auxesians display a situational leadership profile based upon arrogant self-interest. The are only likely to become more adversarial as the reality that they are failing to properly match us in combat crashes around their ears."

"Morale is high, but we must remain cautious. It is only through proper strategic use of our assets have we achieved victory thus far. Statistically and technologically the enemy has the advantage - their failure to leverage benefit from theoretical strength should show the difference between war-games and reality. No plan survives contact with the Unioners. Especially on home turf."

"Their equipment may be demoralising to those with less experience, but they appear to have very few rabbits in the hat. Their propulsion systems are of little consequence. Their core-derived equipment appears to lack the finesse of the original APM models, and appear to be highly encumbered with chimerical equipment from the Commonwealth and elsewhere. Of course, the Unioners are known for our Chimerical equipment - but it is deployed intuitively. Here the Auxesians have valued the archytype of the 'cutting edge' over reliability, effectiveness, and fleet logistics. As any good naval historian will tell you - perfect is the enemy of good enough. Transhumanist racists being what they are, their technology appears to demonstrate the flexibility of a perspex tombstone. They have stuck to preferential loadouts and specific devices. They do not adapt."


"On an inspiring, yet less tactically significant, note, the Sirene has proven physically superior to the largest vessel the Auxesians have yet thrown at us, even the Arbiter intelligence warfare flagship. The Sirene would have performed better if not for a minor ordinance spillage. The crews are inexperienced and not military-grade. Yet the modifications appear to comport her excellently. There is no warship in Sirius that the Enemy can sortie that will be able to match her in direct line of action."

"I am no diplomat, but I doubt that the Auxesians will ever negotiate or come to an accommodation, unspoken, or otherwise. They are simply too detached from the experiences of normal individuals to have conventional concerns. They have zero interest in safeguarding the (to them) trivial existences of men and equipment. What they consider sacrosanct, they see as a means to an end. They are, in short, a worthy enemy. One that provides me much less trouble than the prospect of sallying my father's uniform and name."

"I fully expect that these insidious invaders will be driven back to their cave, providing that we continue to behave dynamically in vessel compositions, strategy, and engagement tactics. I have several ordinance reconfiguration demands for Pacifica's volunteer space guard, should they stop boozing on public time, of course."

"Like all technology dependent entities, gizmos and whizz-bangs fall foul in high-stress environments alike the Tanner silicates. Auxesia are likely suffering major equipment failures across their assets. Any stealth-coatings or low-emissive engine designs will doubtless fail under enviromental considerations - asteroid disturbances can be tracked, emissive radiation tracked. For every shiny suit of armour, there is a chink."

"They have stumbled on the first moves of the dance. It is up to us to remain lighter with our footwork."

"I'll raise a glass to the men. They've fought and died for our freedom today. Remember, the Unsung Heroes of this operation is the continued support of the Gaian Guard's Percheron Logistics transports, and the Crayterian Goverment for allowing free passage of supplies from Barrier Gate. They owe us much to the heroism that has been fought for here as do the Arbeiters climbing into their cockpits, hour after hour, to face the enemy, and defend their families."

"That is what unity is. This is what we fight for. No callous extremist will take that dignity from us."

"Remember. We fight against overwhelming odds. Any triumph should be lauded, but not expected. We will will continue to triumph by outsmarting an arrogant, boating enemy. Yet we cannot depend on their rashness."




Combat Kill-to-Loss ratio against the Cabal incursion: 1 casualty for every 3.7 hostiles destroyed.

Strategic victory likely.
