The LFR has claimed victory in the battle for Ontario.
The Lehigh was crippled but did manage to inflict heavy damage on the Rose. She will be latched to the Fort and undergoing repairs, which the stranded Lehigh husk that was left behind by the Peary will provide parts for. All fortifications around the gate were destroyed by waves of bomber assaults, and after the Lehigh was mortally wounded, the Peary fled and locked the gate behind it.
However, our forces pursued it under heavy fire on a suicide mission to ensure the construction ship could never serve as a logistical backbone in Ontario again. The Commander was part of this effort and returned with a few others, reporting that the Peary was destroyed with all hands onboard.
Given the staggering loss of life and equipment this represents, it is unlikely that DSE will be willing to mount any further expeditions into Ontario. It is also unlikely that Congress would approve of any further deployments while faced with heightened tensions with Kusari and an ongoing occupation of Erie.
Our operations are now free of any sustained interference from the LSF, and preclude the Navy in its entirety.
Minor nuisances may still persist, such as small-scale strike-wings of LSF snubcraft deployed to assess how the situation develops from this point on in Ontario, in addition to well compensated contractors of the Hunters Guild. But these are few and far between compared to the Taskforce that was both crushed and severed from the umbilical required to operate.
Ramsey's declaration of wartime readiness will remain in effect for another three months to ensure that any stragglers that were unable to follow the Peary or retreat in order are hunted down and captured. Sudbury is no longer at risk of being captured for study by the LSF.
Meanwhile, the LFR will now enter a period of industrial and technical development following this victory. No longer impeded by strategic or military concerns.
We hereby fully entrust the study of Sudbury to you but will retain our claims over it along with all associated rights therein.
