Commodore Beck,

you will have heard of my new appointment by now. For the time being you are provisionally in charge of the Oversector South. I will see to institutionalise this as soon as possible. This explicitly excludes the Dublin System. I will appoint a new second in command for the Oversector in the near future who will exclusively focus on our operations in this system. For the time being that is my responsibility.
I will announce these changes to a wider circle in the Armed Forces soon but I wanted to let you know first. I hope you will live up to the challenge.

yours sincerely
Sir Jacob McIntire
