Olá, hola and kalhmera fellow Corsairs!

I am the Primeiro-tenente of the Black Flag Corsairs, Rogelio Axiotis. On behalf of our High Command, I present you good news.

The planet Kurile will be ours. We will take it, and, with certain help from our Samura amigos, there will be a plentiful supplies of tasty fried dorada for every corsair dinner table!
But before this happy moment happens, we need to perform a certain effort. An effort that the mighty Corsair armada can handle!

Look, hermanos and hermanas, this is the system that we will take from the treacherous miners into our hands for the benefit and the prosperity of the Empire and all its allies:



As you can see, our mighty "Barcelona" is there waiting for our historic mission in C6. This will be a starting point of our attack and takeover of the watery planet in F5. The planet is submerged into the cloud we Corsairs are so used to travel through, but I shall remind you to always equip yourself with your faithful lead trousers (for señores) and lead aprons (for señoras) - radiation is rather weak there, but we must take care of the future generations.
I must highlight the fact that the Sigma-17 system is of interest not only for us, the dirty miners and our amigos Samura, but also for the Cryer Farmaceuticals who operate a research facility in C/D3/4, where they nicely work to screw up our beloved enemies Mask-Breathers, who are so irritated by that fact that they even moved their puny Batllecruiser "Tercio" and cowardly hid it in the cloud at some distance behind the planet, in F/G3/4. Our intel suggests they may use the short period of turmoil during our decisive takeover of the planet to give some headache to both us and humble researchers.

In the light of this information, my familial tactical heritage passed via my brain proposes the following plan:



Our main mighty attack force goes directly to the high Kurile orbit where the miners will most certainly be defending what they stole. The smaller sun lies above the system plane, so we don't need to go around. Another smaller sun lies below the plane, so the second mighty part of our fleet will go directly the Cryer base, go around the central sun, and come from the other side to make a well-aged strategic "bonjour" maneuvre. There we will defeat the measly miner gas baloons they call "ships" on the orbit, and proceed capturing the planet. The ring construction station should be captured by our assault team, we might need it to repair any damage to the docking devices GMG may do out of despair: we need to be able to access our planet by any kind of ship later! On the planet, we will join forces with our Samura tomodachi, who will launch attack using surprise submarines from their platform. Please be careful and avoid spilling any pollutants into the water: annihilate everything hostile you see into pure energy!

Now, as I've mentioned earlier, we can have some interference with our plans from Outcasts. While we do not expect them to help the GMG, they still may try to damage our effort and/or make troubles for the Cryer. Our main objective is the planet, when we get it, we can cover their ugly ship with fish guts so they will feel it even through their masks and leave, but if their forces try to jeopardize our mission they will have to be dealt with no mercy.



On the map here you can see the most probable offensive scheme by the Outcasts. Depending on the circumstances our secondary wing will either help Cryer to get an upper hand, or demolish them completely. If the forces used in the attack on the Cryer base are of extreme danger to our mission, our main attack force will join the support wing and grab the Outcasts by the cojones. The decision will be made on the battlefield. The intricate details of our coordination will be released only via private channels between the High Command of the Corsair fleet from various factions. We are expecting the Samura, Hogosha and Farmers forces to be covering our rear in case we need to deal with the Outcasts at the Atka station.

For the glory of the Corsair Empire!

Tchau, adios
Primeiro-tenente, Rogelio Axiotis
