ENCRYPTION: ADMIRALTY-BETA-4785C
SENDER: Blake Wayne Van Leer
SOURCE: new York
RECIPIENT: The First Armada
SUBJECT: Old enemy returns
Officers,
After a lengthy period of peace following the defeat of the insurgency, it seems that our old enemy, the Outcasts, have returned. We have intercepted massive shipments of Cardamine over the past two weeks heading for Pennsylvania. This might be related to the foreign Zoner warmongers; it may not, but one thing is clear.
The Outcasts are back in Liberty. Today, a massive fleet engaged us. We managed to take down one of their ships through a masterful manoeuvre, bypassing their entire fleet. However, in the end, we had to retreat as we were at a slight numerical disadvantage, as you can see.
Officers, our resolve is being tested once again. The Outcasts have returned, but we won't back down. We've faced tough odds before and emerged victorious. Now is the time to dig deep, tap into your training, and rely on each other. Remember your purpose, remember your training, and remember your fellow comrades by your side. Our spirit, our grit, and our determination are unmatched. We stand together, shoulder to shoulder, ready to defend our home. Let's show the Outcasts what we're made of – bravery, loyalty, and an unyielding will. Stay strong, stay focused, and let's face this re-emerged challenge head-on.
Blake Wayne Van Leer - Admiral of the Armada - 1st Armada
