Hermanos,

I've been in shit deep till the neck recently, apologize for the blackout. Despite my best efforts, the Black Sails are about to fall in disgrace in front of the honorable corsair factions of Deterrence and the Brotherhood.

We managed to get hold of a pawn of their plan to subdue Theta to their rule, thus attempting to freeze the conflict these fools wanted to prolong for their own bravado on the expense of the Empire. We attempted to negotiate a deal with them, by giving up this pawn, who is a zoner, in exchange for the cease of hostilities in Omicron Theta. Our proposal was met with fierce resistance as the pride of both the Deterrence and the Brotherhood was seriously stained by their failure of keeping this pawn within their hands, therefore they threw on the Black Sails an avalanche of threats and ultimatums, with which we limpiamos el culo.

Said ultimatums have already expired, but those maggots failed to remain true to their threats, so far. Judging by their new found love for the zoners, for which they may declare the Black Sails as enemies of the Empire, we have devised a battle plan that will be put into action immediately after their betrayal:

Inquisición del Amanecer

Objectives:

---

Phase I: Adaptation to the new geostrategic situation of being labeled as enemies of the Empire
Phase II: Pacification of the combined Brotherhood and Deterrence hostilities within Omicron Theta
Phase III: Neutralization of the treacherous leaders of the Brotherhood and Deterrence
Phase IV: Restoration of the might of the Empire

Phase I:

---

Due to the imminent threat the Black Sails are facing, under order of Arthur Ortega, the following shall enter into force immediately:

- all personnel leaves and rotations are hereby revoked. Proceed to your assigned stations within 24 hours;
- field commanders shall prepare their respective battlegroup for a full retreat within neutral space. Individual orders shall follow;
- once the fall back order is issued, you have 6 hours to depart. Inform your field admirals of this development, so the current front you were assigned to won't fall immediately;
- once departed, deploy long range recon patrols and establish a 30 clicks perimeter along the retreating battlegroup. Retreat to neutral space by the safest possible route;
- once in neutral space, stand by to receive further orders from high command.

Individual orders:

---

Battlegroup "El Atardacer de Libertad" stationed in Dublin, comprised of battlecruiser Muerte Eterna, cruisers Sombra Tormenta, Santa Cervecita and their support vessels shall retreat towards Trafalgar in New London. Throughout your presence in New London, battlegroup "La Miseria de la Reina" shall provide escort. Restock and resupply on Trafalgar, then proceed to Cambridge, where you should expect battlegroup "El Abismo de la Esperanza" to reinforce and rally at your side. Continue to Omega-5, where battlegroup "Callejon sin Salida" has established a safe corridor towards your final destination, Ithaca, via Omega-11;

Battlegroup "La Miseria de la Reina" stationed on Trafalgar, comprised of battlecruiser Sombra Nocturna, cruiser Vaca and their support vessels, shall assist battlegroup "El Atardacer de Liberdat" on it's retreat from Dublin to Cambridge. Once it safely left New London, it shall make sure no hostiles continue to chase the "El Atardacer de Liberdat", then return to Trafalgar, where it shall continue normal pillaging operations. All plunder shall now be redirected to Ithaca in Omega-7;

Battlegroup "El Abismo de la Esperanza" stationed on Cadiz, comprised of battlecruiser Noche Eterna, cruisers Sangra de Ventru, Desmoralizador and their support vessels, shall proceed to Cambridge to reinforce and support battlegroup "El Atardacer de Liberdat" on it's retreat to Omega-5. Proceed until the final destination, Ithaca;

Battlegroup "Callejon sin Salida" stationed in Omega 5, comprised of command battlecruiser Noche Alma, battlecruiser Perdition, cruiser Vendetta and their support vessels shall establish a corridor within Omega 5 and Omega 11, so our retreating battlegroups shall proceed unhindered towards their final destination. Act as the rearguard. Once our battlegroups have reached Omega-7, fall back to Ithaca.

Upon the arrival in Omega-7, establish perimeters outside Ithaca's sensor range and outside the normal patrol routes. It's crucial to not raise suspicions of an invasion, so Arthur Ortega can arrange our stay on Ithaca.

Further orders shall follow as we'll enter Phase II. For now, I wish you best of luck in completing your tasks.

May the Black Sails endure. Strength and Honor.
