RECIPIENT: Commander Alisa Tereshkova FROM: Ensign Maia SUBJECT: Recon mission, partial success PRIORITY: High ENCRYPTION: High
Greetings Commander,
I began my first recon of the Drake system as you requested. My first flight was only partial success, even as I detected and recorded enemy strategic assets, I wasn’t able to encounter any sizable tactical units. I will try to correct this by another recon flights.
Strategic assets include two alien gates – derelict one and another with sizable energy signature. Both of them are protected with several weapon platforms, which were more than enough to not let me loiter around.
Another two strategic assets included one worn-out installation with active defenses and the gallic battleship fleet. Their defensive fire was preventing me to get closer. All data from my sensors are included as attachments to this report.
I made full sweep across system and then left. I’ll prepare for my next flight.
My next sortie proved to be more successful, as I managed to detect several heavy ships with fighter escort. All of them were without doubt infected, as they were accompanied with nomad lifeform. All relevant are uploaded with this report update.
I've detected another two contacts, but I was unable to get close enough to identify them.
