Good day, Commander, Captain, and Admiral,

Pardon my intrusion on this matter. Toronto Station is an immensely valuable target for supplies and raw materials, both of which the Militia is in dire need of. Any valuable resources left behind by Deep Space Engineering will surely fetch a handsome price on the markets we have access to.

As much as I understand the Admiral's concern for the loss of strike craft, the Free Republic's struggle for freedom cannot be successful without well-equipped and supplied foot soldiers.

I suggest the following: The deployment of a small detachment of militiamen and salvagers to board Toronto Station and rapidly secure what materials and equipment they can while heavy spaceborne assets hold the area around the station. We have units at our disposal - former Navy SOC - that can make quick work of any potential squatters already aboard the installation. Any resources discovered on board that cannot be immediately ferried off can be marked for future extraction.

A rapid deployment of heavy assets to Toronto would surely overwhelm any hostile forces currently present. The station would likely be secured - if only temporarily - without any need for extensive combat at all, both on board and in space. Our forces would conduct the operation and retreat before any counter-attack could be mustered by Rogues or Lane Hackers.

The risk is small, the potential reward substantial.

Hochachtungsvoll,
Sigmund Erich von Stürer.
