Comandantes,

A second operational cycle of Project: Via de la Plata has been completed successfully.

At first rotation,DTR-Minero_Fantasma and DTR-CCS>Extremisimo re-entered the designated corridor alongside three additional support vessels. One more reinforced Hegemon-class mining ship were deployed to accelerate the dismantling of the remaining obstruction clusters Callsign DTR-CCS-Peppe.Jalapeno, while a Correo-class freighter: Callsign DTR-Kechrimpar, i followed behind the cutting line to secure and transport the extracted material. As previously stated, nothing of value is being wasted, every fragment removed from the corridor strengthens our own reserves.

For the duration of the operation, a Legate-class Dreadnaught Callsign: DTR-CNS>Santa_Carina maintained overwatch from the outer defensive perimeter. Its presence ensured that the mining flotilla could continue without interruption while long-range sensors monitored the surrounding debris field for irregular movement or hostile signatures.

Progress today focused on the mid-field rock formations and the fractured remains of several cruiser-sized hulls that were still interfering with stable navigation. The combined cutting arrays of the Minero and the Hegemon units performed exactly as expected. The corridor is now significantly wider and far more stable than during the first phase, and the gravitational drift within the cleared vector has dropped noticeably.

However, during the final phase of the extraction cycle, long-range scanners detected multiple fast-approach signatures emerging from the outer edge of the debris cloud.

Identification was immediate.

Red Hessian vessels.

The mining operation was temporarily placed under defensive standby while available Corsair patrol ships responded without delay. The hostile vessels were intercepted before they could approach the active corridor. The engagement was brief and decisive. The enemy force was completely eliminated and no losses were reported on our side.

Once the area was secured, extraction operations continued until the end of the scheduled cycle.

The corridor toward Crete grows clearer with every operation, and today’s incident proves once again that the decision to maintain the defensive integrity of the debris field was correct. The shield still serves its purpose, but now it serves us without slowing us.

Further operations will continue next rotation.

The path will be opened.

For the Empire and the steady flow of its arterias.

Con respeto,

Operation Via de la Plata 2.0
