I have a lot to tell you, but now we have the most urgent affair. Some time ago our group has discovered the lost research platform in Sigma Nineteen. So far we have managed to return to life almost the half of the station, but we suffer from the lack of one resource... Time. Time plays against us. Any other better prepared group is able to re-claim this station and estabilish their control over it. We don't want that to happen. I'm sure, you don't want this to happen too.
While our team is claiming the station and getting it back to life, we need some firepower aboard. We have already one placed Coalition battlecruiser abooard, but it's clearly not enough... Especially according to the level of Outcasts activity in this area. Now we send this request asking only about additional protection from your side, but actually any help such as engineering help will be appreciated.
In return, we guarantee you unlimited access to this station and cooperation of our research wings on R&D core, as it has been stated in Sigma Alliance treaty.

You have to apologize but for aforementioned reasons our forces were locked in halting an Maltese offensive into our space which in you no doubt had heard. As such, most of our assets that would otherwise be available to our allies were urgently reprioritized into reppeling the Outcast Navy. We anticipate that with their eastern flotillas busy with Order counterparts, some time was bought for that depot of yours.
What I can offer is limited at the momenth. I selected a Hathor class escort to be re-assigned to defense of the installation, as well as rotated a couple of under-strenght fighter squadrons that took losses during initial blitz in Beta. Despite cassualties, all fighters are in combat ready condition and pilots morale is significantly improved as we are scoring more kills on Maltese capital ships lately. More assets and reinforcements will become available in coming weeks.

"The Leontopolis has arrived at the research facility in Sigma-19, and will begin security sweeps of the surrounding areas. We've linked communications with the station control tower to facilitate rapid response to any threats. For the moment, Outcast patrols seem to be focused on GMG forces in the area, and have not identified the location of the research station. Further status updates will be posted as necessary."
"Sector sweep through the Donryu Cloud and adjacent grids today resulted in the following:
2x Hogosha fighters destroyed in defensive altercation
15x Outcast fighters hunted and destroyed in the Cloud
6x Outcast freighters hunted and destroyed in the Cloud - Cardamine cargo eliminated
In total, two Hogosha and twenty one Outcast pilots have been detained and shipped to the local GMG security forces, lack of holding facilities onboard our ship or the Research Station necessitated this transfer.
No ace pilots or warships were encountered during this patrol. Uploading prisoner records."

I apologise for putting you under the pressue with ignoring the current state of affairs at your homeworld, it's, indeed, was a mistake. But said installation located too close to the Outcasts home world and it's only the question of time, when they find this and prepare assault team to board the station. Loosing it will be a great loss for all of us. We've also contacted Sirius Coalition forces, who dispatched some... More serious firepower in this area, but I'm afraid, that it's still not enough. I take the current situation into account and don't ask you to place heavy warships at this installation constantly, but something useful against Outcasts heavy capital ships at least in close regions will be useful to come to help as soon as possible.
Kommandir Maihos, your reports have been noted. I apologise for not meeting you in person, as I'm away from the station for the most of mein time. I know, that the station current status leaves much to be desired, but we almost repaired living quarters located at the outer ring and we are getting ready to break into the core of the station to get the full control over it. We will keep you informed on this matter.

You do not need to worry, friend.
A vanguard's role is to fly ahead of the main fleet with intent to make contact with the enemy or to silence their reconaissance flights. The Leontopolis for all intents and purposes is a textbook vanguard for its battlegroup located in Omicron Beta, one jump away from Sigma 19's binary. Due to frontlines against Maltese state are also drawn up in the system, majority of our warships have to remain on standby at their current location. This also means that any distress calls will be answered mainly by an Osiris-class O.C.V. Amenta and its escorts. In the event of a siege, additional relief will be sent from Cairo and Said, each two systems away.
Still, we will have to remain selective in composition of forces to be stationed directly on base. Within 4 days, I can authorize deployment of additional capital ship to your disposal. You can make selection based on what you feel is the most required feature to fill the gap in your defenses.
⧫ Geb-class carrier with onboard fighter complement ⧫ Resheph-class reconaissance cruiser with additional fighters reinforcing squadron already present
Resheph also carries sophisticated Spyglass scanner array that will pierce the local nebula without a fault. I guess you may had been expecting entire battleships worth of assets but due to high demand of these mighty ships, they are to remain mobile across the sector at all costs. Strategic reserve lists two fast-response Osiris-class being available for immediate relief should it be neccesary but for previously stated reasons, cannot under any circumstances get confined to patrol the system indefinately.
Keep this in mind and post any updates directly to The Order fleet tacnet. We will do everything that is within our capability to do.
