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.

Today we struck a decisive victory against the assorted forces of the Mandalorian Mercenaries, Outcasts, Liberty Navy, various Freelancers and most importantly the Joker and his band of thugs. The battle was initiated at first with our forces mustering in Cortez at the Coronado jump hole alongside the Joker's men who had been deceived into believeing they were to fight alongside us.

Jumping into Coronado, our scanners were clear, so the fighter detachment of our task force ranged ahead to find the Mandalorians, while Red Squadron hung behind as a support supplement. When we found the gathered forces of the Mandalorians, the fighter detachment again moved forward as a screen, while the two gunships and bombers of Red Squadron hung back. Because the Mandalorians were clustered so closely together, comrade Volkova decided we should use our heavy ordinance to break up their formation. I fired a single shot from my antimatter cannon, and she launched a Nova torpedo. The antimatter destroyed one of the Mandalorian's shield conduits, and the explosion from the Nova torpedo detonated his ship. We were fairly pleased.

As the fight continued, the Mandalorians were systemattically destroyed, followed by us turning on the Joker and his tools. They were slowly erradicated as well. Over time three different Outcasts arrived and were dispatched; one from the {SOB} and two from the 101st. Numerous Freelancers also attacked our forces and were destroyed as well as, inexplicably, a Liberty Navy cruiser. About an hour into the fight, comrade Volkova was forced to eject. I picked her up then continued the fight.

Shortly after the cruiser's arrival, I was forced to pull out due to extensive damage. From the scene of the battle, I slingshotted around the sun and back into the Barrier Ice Field to carry out the assignment I had been given upon the battle's success as a bomber officer. Proceeding towards Barrier Gate, I readied my weapons for an attack run. Here is an extract from the transmission the Zoners received:

Here are the guncam shots of the weapons run itself. Superior SCRA forces had just decimated the Joker and the majority of his Thugs, so I broke away from the main engagement to initiate a bombing run on their home base.

With the majority of the defenders either destroyed or still preoccupied by the continuing battle with the SCRA's aces, I successfully completed two separate attack runs on various components of the station with my antimatter cannon.


Once the bombing run was completed, with no hostiles encountered, I retreated back towards the Cortez jumphole. After giving our friendly forces the good news that the run was a success, I jumped through and set course for Magellan.

For the Revolution!
