Maybe it wasn't a victory, but the fact that so many warriors were there for the task, is a small victory in itself and something to be proud of.

While the new Consulate Ship is being built at Yokohama Shipyard,
I will take this time frame to review the "protocols of engagement" with KNF officers and warriors.

It is not clear if our escort wing engaged the enemy without specific orders from the senior officer on the scene or if that order was issued too "earlier".

While the Imperial Council appreciate KNF officers and warriors zeal,
it does appreciate even more that the proper protocols or procedures are orderly approached and followed with attention.
Specially during operations like this one.

During an escort mission, no vessel should leave formation and engage until a specific order is issued from the commanding officer.
If an engagement take place, every pilot should keep trace of the escorted vessel on short range scanners and try to always stay within 5~8K to ensure every combat vessel availability in case the escorted ship is targeted.
