Officers, heroes,

Put simply, we have won, we have achieved our primary objectives. With destruction of the Technocracy installation we have not only destroyed their Texas invasion launching pad, struck a fatal blow to their logistical operations, but we have sent a strong message. Our enemies now know that they are not safe, that they cannot attempt to annex territory and invade our house space without a serious response.

Our press release will be going out shortly. For our strategy going forward - Commodore Harrison's approach is ideal - the Coalition, Zoner, Insurgency, Technocracy axis is scattered yet still present. Outside of large scale engagements and strikes, gathering intelligence is now our primary objective after defeating them head on in Kansas and Vespucci - we must find out where they are hiding if they are still capable of having a significant presence, while we still have the opportunity.

We know Kansas, we know Vespucci, our units are used to operating there, even moreso than most of our enemies outside the Insurgency remnants. After they have inevitably scattered and left the systems following our victories we might have to wait years for another chance like this, to strike them in the open, to weaken their numbers, to deter them from even considering future strikes and invasions against our core worlds.

Find out where they are, where they are hiding, and be ready to concentrate firepower in the one place that we know is their target - the Quantum Outpost.

HOORAH!
