Emergency Broadcast: Leeds Crisis

To all parties able to assist,

This is an emergency broadcast from the BAF admiralty.

Bretonia and Liberty are currently engaged in a climactic battle in New London orbit, one that may go either way.

Our enemy however, seemingly feels their position to be poor, and from latest intel it seems they have positioned a large force of orbital bombardment ships around planet Leeds.

We call on all available transport ships capable of landing on Leeds to evacuate as many vulnerable residents as able, every life that is saved is precious. We also call upon fighting forces able to attack the Gallic ships in Leeds to focus their efforts on destroying these bombardment ships, for every ship taken down, untold lives will be saved.

To the residents of Leeds, we will not be able to reach all of you, and we strongly suggest you flee population centers, and if able go underground. If you can find your own way off the planet by smuggling on Gallic shipping or stealing space faring ships from them, do it. If they try to stop you, rise up and kill them. Do not die in your beds.

But above all, keep calm, and keep moving.

Commodore John Redmond
Dreadnought Venerable, New London Orbit

Commodore Redmond,

Your information has been received and considered in the Senate. Maltese Hispania will send to your aid the battlegroup "Captana". IRMM will deploy our Mobile Fortification Platform in Leeds system for further pressure and prevention of unhindered bombing of the planet. The difficulty of navigation throughout Taus of a big fleet and necessity of protection of Hispanic core worlds prevents us from sending more forces but with assistance of BAF, privateers, or other parties - we will be able to achieve the objectives set.

Respetuosamente,
Hernan Luis Escudero Grijalva

Greetings again Commodore,

I only recently noticed these movements myself after doing a scout flight past the planet earlier today. Just when I was about to sideline evacuations, I see this. I figured they were securing the area in fear their flank would be exploited. The notion that they would consider a massive bombardment of the civilian areas is almost unthinkable, and more brutal than normally expected from the Gauls.

I issued warnings [LINK] months ago to the Resistance Base to take heed of possible bombardments from orbital weapons platforms. Since then, the LRF moved large amounts of soldiers, military vehicles, munitions and small arms of various kinds to the BAF base. We kept a decent amount of which for ourselves that I administer directly under the LRF. I won't disclose details here, but I can say we managed to move our people and supplies into an underground location with good overhead protection. I believe we can endure orbital bombardment, mainly since we are hidden in a remote area.

Thankfully, we also spent the last 5 months evacuating refugees, and safely evacuated tens of thousands of units of them. We considered this possiblity, and kept the flow of people moving as often as possible.

We have only a few ships and minimal firepower, but we do possess other resources that can aid the BAF. I can discuss more via a secure channel if desired, but I'll remind you we also have NEMP capability [LINK], and are responsible for the attack on the Mooring Fixture here a couple weeks ago. It's no guarantee, but could be attempted as a last resort.

As to continued evacuations, I believe I can muster some freighters to ferry them up from the surface, but we need transports to receive them, and may need cover from Gallic attacks. I was about to put a hold on freighter runs, but if we can get some help to secure the area, and pick up the refugees, we'll do all we can to help, and I'll keep my own freighter ready.

To all friendly transport captains willing to take on Refugees, let us know if and when you can come, and I'll rally some ferriers!


Standing by,
Jonas Hudson

Commodore.

I have said this before and I will continue to say it, but for as long as the people of Leeds have cried out and bled for freedom, I've heard them. But opportunity is a fickle thing, and the Coalition was not and is not in a position to forcefully liberate the planet from Charles. Our battle-lines are strained, but my legacy will be one of unity. A strike-wing is inbound for the orbit of Leeds, we will delay the bombardment for as long as is physically possible with the limited manpower we have to spare. Providing both my men and me personally with some form of docking access will prove beneficial to sustaining our interference, I can only urge that these evacuations occur post-haste, and even if people must bear with cramped accommodations aboard freighters - we must ensure as many as possible survive the ordeal.

For every woman and child Charles wants to burn, I will butcher one of his servants. And though I will live every remaining day of my life regretting the fact that I could not deliver this world from tyranny, I will at the very least ensure that the sky burns red with that remorse. Good luck and godspeed Commodore, break their perfect Gallic teeth on the front-line.

Blood for freedom.

Commodore Redmond,

The only "crisis" I see Leeds facing is the possibility of my home world being once again crushed in the iron fist of the Bretonian Crown. The noble men and women I serve with would never harm the people of Leeds in that way, especially out of mere spite as you claim. They understand honour in a way someone like you never will. By the grace of God, I sincerely hope that my brothers and sisters on Leeds do not fall for your lies. The Gallic liberation is the best thing that's ever happened to Leeds, and I'll work to secure my world's future to my very last breath. We will not return to slavery under the heel of BMM and the tyrant Carina!

Don't listen to this traitor! Davies eh? You say you're from Leeds and you side with those dogs? We'll remember your name mister. Leeds resident turned Royal Marine? The Leeds Resistance Forces will pay 50 million credits for the capture of this traitor Rupert Davies!

People of Leeds, get out while you can, or go underground! Leeds is littered with underground infrastructure. Anyone stuck on the surface of able body and mind should now openly resist in any possible fashion. Go on a general strike, sabotage remaining occupation forces and hinder their operations as much as possible. Block bridges, sieze spaceports, jam transmissions, hack their control systems. Spread disinformation! Every little bit will slow them down! I'd also like to reveal that the LRF has smuggled over 20,000 units of Envoys to the surface that were sent into many cities over the last couple of months. They have been helping to organize civilian resistance cells. Seek them out, join together and inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible!

The LRF will freighter out refugees that can make it to the BAF Resistance Base HQ. To any civilian traders in the region, we need your help! So for every full transort evacuated, we'll pay you 10 million credits! 15 for a 5k'er! Even if they're evacuated by your own freighters, if you send us the proof, you'll get the credits. Also, feel free to bring in arms or munitions of any kind! For parties known to us, contact us on our intercom if and when you can make it!

This may be our most desparate hour. It may be a dangerous run, but it may be Sirius's last chance to help Leeds before Gallia go too far!

To all other allied ships able to make it to Leeds, we can help you with repairs and reloading, if you plan to come raise some hell, contact us directly for assistance!

Standing by,
Jonas Hudson

Commodore Redmond,

I won't waste time with some long-winded speech about brotherhood or standing together against a common foe. It's been said enough throughout this war for us to all have gotten the idea. Right now it's time for immediate action.

Regretfully our forces remain barred from Bretonian space. If that restriction is lifted, then I will set off immediately and deploy the Armed Mandate's First Meros to begin clearing a path for transports to evacuate the planet. We can keep making hit and run sweeps against their line and establish an evacuation corridor for transports to proceed through.

All we need is that restriction lifted, and I'll mobilize The Covenant's forces posthaste.

Ahm. Hey champs!
I've already made this clear faaarrrr too many times. We're here. Our members are helping ya'. We're doing our very best. So we have moved all of our vessels to the main lines, both logistic and military. We've been busy in Leeds but the last few days it has been quiet. Our ships needed repairing so for the past 3 days we haven't been too active. We're back now tho.
The bonuses from the LRF should be wired to TSS|M-Revolution .

Safe skies.
