To: BAF DIS
From: Captain Talbot Carstairs
Location: HMS-Ocean, Manchester

This is Captain Talbot Carstairs, commander of Her Majesty's Ship Ocean stationed in the system of Manchester. I would like to inform the Admiralty concerning new a group of insurgents. They call themselves the Sirius Revolutionary Front, or SRF for short. A band of idealistic revolutionaries, seemingly operating from the border-worlds, bent on disrupting and hampering trade flowing through and to Houses. Their goal: to ruin the economy of the Houses and replace all of Sirius with one single government.

Reports, although unreliable, reveal that the SRF mainly operates in the border-worlds dividing Kusari and Liberty, with incursions into both Houses, disrupting trade when they're not busy destroying naval vessels or law-enforcers. They seem to be to be extending their influence, as they've begun to spill over into Manchester. The Armed Forces stationed there have only encountered them twice so far, the latter a hostile one. An assault by their forces, numerous as they were, were attempted with the objective to overwhelm and capture the HMS-Ocean. The attack was repelled by Her Majesty's valiant men aboard the Ocean, inflicting heavy casualties on the Revolutionary side. Their forces pulled back, once the defences of Newgate had decimated half of their assault crafts.

I am certain we'll notice SRF activity escalating in Manchester and any nearby located systems from here on out. The crew of the Ocean stand alerted, ready to beat back any further intrusions made by these revolutionary opportunists.

Captain Talbot Carstairs, signing off.
