Sender:Koji Yasu Recipient:Adjutant J. Royce & Emrys Belmont Subject:Sudbury research results and further operations
Konnichiwa!
I am posting data regarding the exploration of the planet Sudbury, where you will find additional information gathered about this planet.
I will remain in the system while our forces make a partial transfer to Coronado to establish additional surveillance. You can find all details in attachment files.
J. Royce, please inform me if there's something we have to know about Coronado system.
Departure date: Today, March 23, 16:00.

Mr Koji Yasu.
Regarding Coronado, you would be best suited in seeking updated and potentially classified information from Section 8 who are well informed on this subject. From what the Commander briefed me on, some critical findings were made, however we cannot presume to submit this data without approval.
Otherwise, be cautious of potential Auxesian interference as the system is near their stronghold of Inverness.

Konnichiwa J. Royce.
We've already finished the work in Coronado. It may be similar to what Section 8 can provide us, but the operation was of a slightly different nature, which I will report on in a separate report.
Right now we have too much information that I personally need to work with.

Konnichiwa J. Royce.
We have completed our check of the Coronado system. In the file attached below, you will be able to see the meaning of our operation in that region. For now, this is only of an observational nature, so if any changes occur, you can request the data from me personally so that I can notify you first.
If the Liberty Free Republic finds any additional leads on Ontario or related systems, please let me know and I will do the necessary research. Until then, I will remain in Ontario and await further developments.

The LFR has claimed victory in the battle for Ontario.
The Lehigh was crippled but did manage to inflict heavy damage on the Rose. She will be latched to the Fort and undergoing repairs, which the stranded Lehigh husk that was left behind by the Peary will provide parts for. All fortifications around the gate were destroyed by waves of bomber assaults, and after the Lehigh was mortally wounded, the Peary fled and locked the gate behind it.
However, our forces pursued it under heavy fire on a suicide mission to ensure the construction ship could never serve as a logistical backbone in Ontario again. The Commander was part of this effort and returned with a few others, reporting that the Peary was destroyed with all hands onboard.
Given the staggering loss of life and equipment this represents, it is unlikely that DSE will be willing to mount any further expeditions into Ontario. It is also unlikely that Congress would approve of any further deployments while faced with heightened tensions with Kusari and an ongoing occupation of Erie.
Our operations are now free of any sustained interference from the LSF, and preclude the Navy in its entirety.
Minor nuisances may still persist, such as small-scale strike-wings of LSF snubcraft deployed to assess how the situation develops from this point on in Ontario, in addition to well compensated contractors of the Hunters Guild. But these are few and far between compared to the Taskforce that was both crushed and severed from the umbilical required to operate.
Ramsey's declaration of wartime readiness will remain in effect for another three months to ensure that any stragglers that were unable to follow the Peary or retreat in order are hunted down and captured. Sudbury is no longer at risk of being captured for study by the LSF.
Meanwhile, the LFR will now enter a period of industrial and technical development following this victory. No longer impeded by strategic or military concerns.
We hereby fully entrust the study of Sudbury to you but will retain our claims over it along with all associated rights therein.

Adjutant Royce,
Command congratulates the Free Republic on its hard fought victory over the Libertonians. The LSF's presence in Ontario has been a thorn in our side for too long. Its removal opens the system up for more extensive deployment of Order assets and closer study of Sudbury. However, it will also permit other parties to overstep their bounds. The Technocracy in particular may be encouraged to encroach on the system. Until the Order can further reinforce its presence, the LFR needs to be prepared to oppose their trespassing and continue to secure the Sudbury perimeter.
The Order, meanwhile, is preparing for a strike against the other remaining obstacle in the system. The Alliance Commander will know what I refer to. Should our operation be a success, the system will truly be free.
I received a report on combat developments in Ontario and was asked to fill in all fields regarding the progress of combat missions as they relate to the LSF. Since they are now no longer a threat, further missions against them will be pointless (except as described by Royce above).
Today we intend to carry out the final interception of the Wyoming cruiser that has been poisoning Liberty space and the Kusari border for over a dozen years. I will take command of the Brigade combat units. Tactical review suggests that the enemy will once again attempt to slip away, but we hope to end that story here and now.
