There's been a significant shift in the Kusari movements. They weren't targeting Crayter at all. Barra has fallen, but I have some new information.



This was Cheronsee Outpost. It's now a crippled wreck with Hyono standing guard over it.



Over in Tau-53, they seem to have boarded and seized La Charite Spaceport. I found signs of their movement in the Gallic border, but thus far the Gallic defenses seem to be holding.

I have discussed this with Escher, Sundog, and Weaver, and we have some concerns about how Crayter might respond. Their newest fleet admiral continues the proud Crayterian tradition of drastically overestimating their military power, and I worry that they might try to rush headlong into another war.

But it's up to you whether we share this information or wait for them to figure it out on their own. Personally, I'm going to land on Ten and get a drink.
