Apologies for my lack of contact, I have been between Pygar and Kadesh attending strategy briefings, logistics' meetings, emergency consuls and attending to the Kaldra. Formidable as she may be, its been some time since last she saw battle.

There has been some success much like your own in regard to getting a Militia of sorts recruited and outfitted throughout the settlements with training continuing on. About 3000 have volunteered to become an actual fighting force, with many more choosing to prepare for relief duties, such as evacuation, medical and rescue support should such needs arise.
We have managed to begin implementing the use of smaller raiding Vehicles and setting up choke points within the cavern's, hopefully for what we lack in number's we can make up for with clever tactic's and smart defences. Though ideally it would be these are not needed it is never the less a reassurance for some.

In regard to Phoenix and its plans. It is prepping for war, our forces are marshalled and battle ready with the finger on the trigger. I don't know what the objective will be, if its just liberation of Freeport 9 or driving the Corsair's out of Theta but we are on the cusp of battle. Its not a case of IF anymore Its a case of WHEN.

If you wish to support Phoenix's fleet when the time comes, your help would be appreciated BUT do not feel obligated. The safety of your people comes first, and should your involvement risk that then it would be understandable if you chose to keep back.
I have yet to decide if the Kaldra and I will enter the fray when it occurs. I do not wish to Risk Pygar by joining the battle, but then do I risk Pygar if I don't and the battle is a loss for us.
