OOTORI-419 INTELLIGENCE GATHERING REPORT

[Nodoka Hanamura]

[ :: LOGFILE 001 - TASKINGS 13A/B/C ::]

THIS UNIT HAS CONCLUDED INTELLIGENCE GATHERING REGARDING THE PRIMARY PARTIES OF INTEREST IN OUR EXPECTED THEATER OF OPERATIONS. PLEASE REVIEW ENCLOSED VI/DOC, SERIAL 834-0001, APPENDICES A, B, AND C.

REMARKS ON APPENDICE A:

> HELLFIRE LEGION STATUS AS DEFUNCT IS CONFIRMED. THERE HAS YET TO BE ANY PRESENCE OF TASKFOR PROMETHEUS IN THE PRIMARY AOR (AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY) AS OF THIS REPORT. OOTORI-419 WILL MAKE INITIAL CONTACT IF NEEDED UNLESS DEFERRED TO MAJ KOBAYASHI, MIZURASHI DIPSEC.

> MASSIVE LIBNAV, HELLFIRE, LIBINSURGENT CASUALTIES IN THE VESPUCCI AREA CONFIRMED. DEATHS ESTIMATED IN THE RANGE OF 192,000-400,000 DECEASED ACROSS ALL COMBATANTS.

> LIMITED PRESENCE OF BATGRU HARMONY SNUBCRAFT IN THE BATTLESPACE ASSUMES SOME ELEMENTS MAY NOT HAVE DEFIED THE HELLFIRE LEGION AS BRIEFED, AND INSTEAD DEFECTED TO AID AND ABET THE DEFENSE OF VESPUCCI FROM LIBNAV.

> LENIEX MAY BE VIABLE FOR SPATIAL MOORING, IF MOORING WITH VALRAVN OR ESTABLISHMENT OF A FORWARD OPERATING BASE IN INVERNESS IS NOT VIABLE.

REMARKS ON APPENDICE B:

> STATION FOR MIEKO 'YORUHA' IEKAHARA, ACV ACHLYS, WAS NOT IN PORT AT TIME OF MASINT/IMINT ANALYSIS. LOCATION UNKNOWN.

> DECM MEASURES PROVED SUCCESSFUL TO DISRUPT TRACKING BY AUXESIAN DEFENSE PLATFORMS. APPROACH WITHOUT PRIOR CLEARANCE FROM AUX INPHXDIR ILLADVISED.

> KLAKSVIK ON ANCILLIARY SCANS REPORTED TO HAVE DRIFTED INTO EAST AVELMORE NEBULA. EAST AVELMORE NEBULA IS CONSIDERED RESTRICTED SPACE BY AUX INPHXDIR PURSUANT TO WARNING FROM AUXESIAN AGI, [NOFACE], HULL DESIGNATION [AmNF05]. PROBING CONFIRMS HEAVY XENOBIOTIC PRESENCE OF THE TYPE [VAGRANT]. MOORING TO KLAKSVIK PURSUANT TO PLAN 11S IS NO LONGER VIABLE.

> DISTANT INSTALLATION IN ORBIT OF ELGIN IDENTIFIED AS MODULAR INSTALLATION, CLASS CHARLIE, DESIGNATION 'AERGIA'. PURPOSE IS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. NO FURTHER DATA AVAILABLE.

REMARKS ON APPENDICE C:

> FORT RAMSEY CONFIRMED TO BE AUGEMNTED ARTIFICIAL INSTALLATION.

> 1 TIMES OVERLORD CLASS BATTLESHIP, FRS 'LIBERTY ROSE' IN IMMEDIATE ORBIT OF FORT RAMSEY. VESSEL SCANS CONFIRM VESSEL IS POTENTIALLY STOLEN FROM [LIBNAV], FORMERLY [LNS ALABAMA]. VESSEL SEEMS TO BE COMBAT EFFECTIVE, BUT SHOWS SIGNS OF NO SUBLIMINAL DRIVE ACTIVATION FOR A PROLONGED AMOUNT OF TIME. CONFIDENCE IN THIS REMARK IS 75%.

> SNUBCRAFT IN IMMEDIATE VICINITY CONFIRMED TO BE OPERATING NON-CACHED VESSELS. 3D SCANS CONFIRM VESSELS TO BE POTENTIALLY INDIGENOUS DESIGNS. SNUBCRAFT-MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES OF OPFOR CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

ASSESSMENT:

> AUXESIAN FORCE PROJECTION AND COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS, BASED ON VESSELS IN ENGAGEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE AOR IS AMPLE AND COMPARABLE TO PRIMARY OPFOR [XENO ALLIANCE, BATGRU HARMONY].

> OUROBOROS FORCE PROJECTION IS SUFFICIENT TO BE OF VIABLE AID TO AUXESIAN COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS, GIVEN REFIT AND MAINTENANCE OF BATTLEGROUP ASSETS FOR COMBAT, LOGISTICS AND SUPPORT OPERATIONS.

> LIMITED INTELLIGENCE ON [TASKFOR PROMETHEUS] IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS UNIT CANNOT PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT ASSESSMENT OF FORCE PROJECTION, COMBAT CAPABILITIES, SUPPORT CAPABILITIES OR ORBAT ESTIMATION.

> -[CRITICAL]- SECONDARY OPFOR [LIBNAV, CRAYMIL, BRETARMFOR] POSE EXISTENTIAL RISK TO ALL BLUFOR FACTIONS. INSURGENT TACTICAL STRATEGY IS HIGHLY ADVISED. PRIORITY SHOULD BE ON ESTABLISHING SPATIAL SUPERIORITY IN THE [INVERNESS] SYSTEM. DESTRUCTION OR RETREAT OF THE TUSCALOOSA STRIKE GROUP IS IMPERATIVE.

CONCLUSION:

THIS UNIT RECOMMENDS FURTHER ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS OF THE REGIONAL SITUATION ALONG WITH UPDATING STARMAP AND OTHER INTELLIGENCE DATA BEFORE A SUFFICIENT INTELLIGENCE PICTURE CAN BE PROVIDED.

THIS UNIT WILL COMMENCE WITH TASKING 9A, TASKING 9B, TASKING 9C WITHIN 128 HOURS. PRIORITY INTELLIGENCE TARGETS WILL BE:

- PENNSYLVANIA SYSTEM
- - BETHLEHEM STATION
- - PLANET ERIE
- NEW YORK SYSTEM
- - NORFOLK SHIPYARD
- - WEST POINT MILITARY ACADEMY
- - ZONE 21 PERIMETER
- CALIFORNIA SYSTEM
- - ANY VALID INTELLIGENCE TARGETS
