INCOMING TRANSMISSION
COMM ID: Lieutenant Julio Quintillia
LOCATION: Omega-52 Zvezdny Gorodok
TARGET ID: SCRA High Command, Lt. Mikhail "Beagle" Petrov

Hola comrade Petrov.

Contrary to popular belief, our Partisans are suitable for the job at hand, always have been and will continue to be until High command indicates otherwise. This will most likely be some point next year when it is widely believed our next generation of ships will be prototype tested.

In the meantime, it is recommended that you do the most yourself to amend any teething troubles found with your craft. Suggestions include pulling rank on the technicians to fast track armour enhancers and the addition of advanced sensor relayers with blackout technology. The former shouldn't strictly speaking be necessary, but the latter is essential.

You must rely on the elements of natural cover you can find to accomplish your missions, amigo. Stick to sensor masking nebulae, asteroid fields and phenomena. If all else fails, fall back to the predictability of stupidity - the enemies of the Revolution generally think in planar terms. Play this to your advantage. If no cover is available in a particular hotspot, aim up or down and fly off the plane, then dampen your sensors to reduce your radar profile. Risky? Si, but they will be much harder pressed to find you. I used this method to great effect while scouting Omicron Gamma, 91, 93, 94 and 96.

Your Partisan's agility will be your final defence - if you are having to rely on your ship to save you, rather than your wit to evade your pursuers, you are in a dire situation. At the end of the day, it is not your duty to fight a war of attrition. The recon and support wing is there to provide intelligence and run deep space sabotage. Flee from overwhelming odds to continue your mission. Rely on your craft's agility and speed to confound your enemies, then retreat to safe ground. We attack from the mist, then disappear before our enemies can rally against us. This doctrine fits the Partisan perfectly.

Addendum: The Order's Commodore Dangen has been contacted regarding field work on Op. UMBRELLA. A Order scout will probably be supplied as a guide.

For the Revolution, comrade. For the Revolution.

~Lieutenant Julio Quintillia
