Omicron Delta Operations
Though unnoficial channels I learned that SCRA has changed its policy towards combat operations within Omicron theatre.
The Order is prepping for a siege. New installation, by name "Freeport 11.5" has been illegaly constructed by some Zoner zealot, Allesia Williams. Probing strike has indicated installation has shield system already operational and that no enemy combatants have been scrambled to repell the bait. Greater force is being assembled as we speak to ramp up the pressure.
Confederation of Zoners have officially greenlighted our campaign and sanctioned our siege of the base, citing neutrality. Whether Zoners themselves will lay siege to the base or enact sanctions is unclear at this point. The Order Command officially requests deployment of tactical and strategical SCRA assets to assist against both the base and potential defenders. It is likely that this base is a Core front to subvert Freeport once again from The Order and Core units may interfere. Given as CoF has cut off itself from the affairs of Delta at large, you will suffer no repercussions of interfering on behalf of The Order. Corsairs are known to have turned inwards and are not expected to send any assets just yet. However, as situation develops we may see Corsair squadrons and warships using the rampage to increase the overall colletaral. The Order - Posessing certain qualities that many more progressive Cretans still looks up towards - will take any neccesary steps to divert these Corsairs away from Coalition task force. We only ask not to provoke them unnecesarily.
There are two rendezevous points: Omicron Delta, Dabadoru for quick responce tactical units and Omicron Mu, Taba Starbase for logistics and flanking warships. Any Coalition assets will be approved to withdraw to Dabadoru perimeter in circumstances dictating to preserve personnel and the materiel, even in full sight of the enemy.

I had a suspicion something along these lines may eventually have come up. I vaguely recall some point in the past where someone else strapped a modular installation into the side of the damaged Freeport. You know, it surprises me the Confederation itself doesn't do something about that sort of thing. No matter.
The Revolutionary Army will mobilize and prepare to conduct operations alongside Overwatch forces to deal with this situation -- if it is in fact a breeding ground for the People's enemies as you claim, it needs to be contained. Our expanded Militsiya forces and Expansion Corps(SCEC) combat vessels operating within the region are likely to contribute as well, if they are able. Expect first vessels to arrive at Akabat shortly. We will need plenty of provisions to ensure a successful operation.

Omicron Delta Operations
To attention of Premier Mehmed Selin, The Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army
Thanks to the timely intervention of the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army's fleets, The Enemy we share has been decapitated tonight in lighting-fast strike that caught opressed denizens of Omicron Delta by complete surprise. With the illegal installation gone, Core's own Guildkeeper missing in action and entire Nomad battlegroup sanitized, we have reaffirmed our stake in the sector and most likely leading to Core and rebel Zoners to reconsider their territorial ambitions against the Protectorate.
It was a test for both resolve Coalition-Order co-operation and Zoner Confederation's true allegiance. While we hoped for that Zoner 'government' would scramble at least a couple of their famous colony ships that were seen during last siege of Core 'Carthage' to deal with the problem themselves, they nonetheless reaffirmed their neutrality at last. With Freeport 11 in hands of more moderate Zoners, the Edge Worlds are becoming more stable place for the Allies.
intervention of the Core Guildkeeper in total disregard of our legal disassembly leads me to believe that Allesia WIlliams, the administrator of the outlawed annex is in fact front for the Core's interest in the system. The Order will not forget this and will purge the traitor and her supporters out of the system in due time. That no Zoners were caught in the crossfire is a miracle as well. Damage assesment is underway and we will extend our hand towards Freeport administration in establishing whether any of the civilian population has been harmed in the process.
However... given how clean and efficient this deployment has been, I sincerely doubt anyone unrelated to was affected by the siege. More logistic ships will use the window of opportunity to ressuply Dabadoru's supplies with much needed fuel and munitions, which in no doubt will be required to reinforce your own armada.

Good riddance to a sticky blight on Freeport 11's superstructure, either way. We're in a better position to deal with the real enemy of your expertise, I think. A number of minor cleanup operations after the fact has proven that, regardless of what the naysayers are thinking.
That madman thought he could slow us down by sending us into Gallia. But each time, the People's resolve saw us back to Omicron Delta. He thinks he has the moral high ground, but the fascistic policy of the Core merely shows its flaws. They do far worse than blowing up bases on a daily basis, of course. I don't think you need the reminder.
Revolutionary Army forces are staging back in Omicron Mu as of now, the Karl Marx itself is moored on Taba Starbase with the rest of the heavy hitters. Expansion Corps ships have already made way back to their positions in Omega-55 in accordance with their needs, and Militsiya elements are concentrated around Dabadoru. Have your logistic corps accommodate their plans as such.
It's clear that Coalition Forces will need to place a firmer emphasis on long-range support operations in the Omicrons at this time. Until the next op comes, some vodka is in order.
