Premier Katz, I thank you for the honor of being Provost Marshal to the Coalition, and I will perform at my utmost ability to ensure all is well in my department. On another note, the Social Credit is undergoing changes to her reputation sheet to match our current diplomatic status. The vessel should have the reputation for the newly requested weaponry soon. With your permission, she will serve as my mobile office, as well as a Coalition warship of the finest record.
For theRevolution, for the Red Dawn, for the Premier!

SUBJECT:Operations Report
I have two days worth of things to report.
First thing to report is the demise of two Corsair Imperators. The first one followed us around in Omega-5 so we engaged and destroyed. The second Imperator appeared a few hours later. I received word that Sub Lieutenant Alvarez and Commandant Warner were being attacked by one. I arrived to see the Gunboat firing on my Comrades. I didn't waste any time assisting them and together we set him on fire and scattered his precious ship.
Today, I received orders to scout out Omega-15 due to concerns of the Hunters attempting Combat Operations against us. Myself and Paddy Holly set out but I lagged behind due to a Fuel Leak. When I returned, Paddy was being attacked by a Guild Core Bullhead. Luckily, myself and the Karl Marx were nearby so we made short work of it.
As we returned home from killing the Bullhead, I received reports that a Bretonian Admiral was present in the New London vicinity. Myself and Paddy proceeded to New London where I challenged him to a duel. He was cowardly and instead opted to let two overconfident Bounty Hunter Gunboats attack us. They fought like little girls. The first one fell from myself and Paddies fire while the second one was destroyed by the Lithuania that had just arrived to provide fire support. We noticed there were Two Battleships and several fighters nearby so Lieutenant Commander Nagama ordered a withdrawal. The Lithuania got away and after finally get the attention of Paddies pursuer's he got away. That left me alone. I tried to escape but they had too many Cruise Disruptor's. I was heavily damaged so I knew I'd never make it by thrusting. So, I opted to fight back. My first target was a Bretonian Captain that was on my tail. He ran into several of my mines and was finished off by a Mini-Razor. I then turned my attention to the Bretonian Ship equipped with the Cruise Disruptor. A Lieutenant. After schooling him in the art of war, Admiral Bridge ordered a retreat. Unfortunately, I didn't get the Admiral but I will now hunt him down with renewed vigor.

Hermanos, Comradas!
Our enemies are amassing, three separate attacks in two days by Bounty Hunter and mercenary vessels attempting to claim ill gotten profits at the expense of the will of the people!
Si, Hermanos, our enemies are terrified of the strength that we have displayed. They quake at the sound of our cannons, and they run when our might enters the battlefield.
This strength should not be mistaken as an excuse for over confidence.
We fight on our terms, not theirs, Comradas.
Pick your battles with care and caution, keep an eye out for massed fleets, and obviously baited traps. No fighter is to be caught unawares. You are the Coalition, you are the Fighter Corps, mi Hermanos… and as such we are smarter than these banditos and their dollar-store mercenaries.
Follow the orders of your superior officers, stay the course, and we shall be victorious as we were each and every time before this!
Si, Comradas, the Revolucion does not bow before those that value greed over patriotism.

Today saw a victory for the Coalition against those Kusari dogs!
Reports reached the Havana from allies that the KNF were mounting a strike into Leeds.
I could not pass up an opportunity to strike back at those that had murdered mi hermanos, my kin! Blood cried out for blood, Comradas, and so it was, so shall it be.
The Havana found the Kusari battleship pinning down Three BAF destroyers at the gates to Leeds. Her presence alone was enough to strike fear into the weak heart of the Kusari Admiral. He knew what I had come for, and he knew without superior numbers of Kusari ships, nor mercenaries at his back, that he couldn't withstand the Havana's wrath.
He broke and ran with his twin Destroyer escorts, like a kicked puppy, under the Havana's guns, he bolted for their hiding hole at Stokes Mining Station.
The BAF, sensing an opportunity capitalized upon the Havana's onslaught, catching one of the Kusari Destroyers and ripping it to shreds.
Choosing not to press the battle and chase the battleship to its sanctuary, and face the prospect of having a trio of Bretonian Destroyers alongside, that could not be trusted to pounce upon the Havana should we be disadvantaged. I ordered the ship to break from the battle and return to home.
I am satisfied with the fact that their assault on Leeds has failed, and that the Havana was victorious over the Kusari!

I am taking the liberty of contacting you directly, with news of our endeavors on behalf of His Watchful Eye…
As you know, we were able to recover a member of the Bounty Hunter’s Guild crew from that battlecruiser you destroyed this morning… unfortunately he was quite dead when he arrived at the Commissariat… no matter, there are plenty of alternate ways of extracting information from the mind… you see much like software… wet ware retains data, data that can be recovered with the correct techniques…
I am sure I will be able to give you all the tactical intelligence you require to keep these evil mercenary sell-swords at bay.
As for work on the Planetary shields, I require direct contact from the Order Science Division in order to proceed. But sites have been selected on both JiangXi and Volgograd to house the shield emitters. Colonel Gonzales is overseeing the construction efforts, pressing the workforce to complete the mounts ahead of schedule. She is a magnificent specimen of a woman, so...masterful...
The Odin-Hybrid project has led to us solving several key issues with the Kalashnikovs and is allowing us to make adaptations to the designs to install into the XKR-151 series next generation fighters. Be sure to send my thanks to Lt. Steeles and Lt. Commander Scott, and ask them to continue to feed me as much combat data as they can.
I will turn things over to the doctor in charge of reverse engineering the Statis Pod for information on the Mausoleum project.
For the... err.. Revolution, and the new Great Leader!

SUBJECT:Operations Report
Just a brief report about a skirmish in Dublin. I was stopped by Two Bretonian Police Vessels who called in a Bretonian Lieutenant to assist in arresting me. Of course, I'd never allow this so myself and the Lieutenant ended up in a skirmish. We both fought and a Mini-Razor promptly ended things. Unfortunately, that's when the Police vessels began attacking. I tried to fight back but their ships were fast and the Ions were complicating things. Eventually I decided to withdraw since the Ions simply kept getting worse. In an additional note, pilots would be wise not to under-estimate Light Fighters or Police Pilots.

Commandante, Premier, and members of High Command.
The two attempts to activate the nomad artifacts using the nomad power core, in an effort to recreate the Ion wave that effectively shut down Sirius the last two times we attempted this... did not provide the desired effect.
While two, substantial Ion waves were generated, the system proved too unstable to maintain the effect. While this strategic usages of the device is limited, a small tactical benefit was gleaned in that it allowed us to mount a defense.
On alternate tactical terms, our orbital defense grids were brought on line successfully, and stand ready for a protracted siege.
The Science Division of the Coalition, stands ready as ever!
