Threat Detected in Leeds Orbit
Several satellites of unknown origin have been confirmed as having been deployed to high altitude geosynchronous orbit over the Planet Leeds. I double checked my records (Guncam Picture #29) and noticed that I had taken some flyby guncams of one of the objects weeks ago, and had not followed up on it.
I went back under the protection of stealth and got in close to catalogue the objects. Using infrared and radiographics I was able to determine that the objects are indeed powered by some kind of contained powersource within who's output seems to be capable of powering a large scale weapon. Certainly these are not weather monitoring satellites. It is also possible they may be intended to jam communications and scanners. At this time we should assume they are an enemy weapon system of some kind.
Regardless, they seem to have been deployed to interfere with operations on the ground and traffic supplying the Resistance Forces there. I fear that this move may be planned in conjunction with the Royal Navy's recent push towards New London. If they are capable of high output weaponry, they could pose an imminent threat to ground positions. In lieu of this, I'd like to request an NEMP strike on the satellites so that we can eliminate them and their threat before its too late.
We should probably put the Resistance HQ on high alert and have them prepare to evacuate for relocation in the event we pick up sign an attack might be imminent.
In conjunction with the potential threat from the Leeds orbital satellites, it has become apparent that the newly completed Jump Gate built by Gallia that reconnects to New London has become a major threat.
We may have been unable to prevent its construction, but we can still destroy or heavily damage the infrastructure with superweapons. With this connection disabled, we can count that a large amount of resupply vessels and reinforcements will be significantly slowed down on their way to the front lines in New London.
As long as the Armoury permits, I move that we follow up with a secondary NEMP strike to the Gallic gate A.S.A.P. in order to help relieve pressure on the BAF.
