SUBJECT: Fuel Shortages
ENCRYPTION: High
PRIORITY: Moderate

Sir,

Noted, the 103rd will remain at their current posting. I'll draft orders to go out to them in the event the situation with Kusari escalates. This still leaves us with the problem of distributing the SFR if it comes to that, but I'm sure the Republic can call in some favors with Universal to make that happen on the civilian side. The National Guard should be able to pick up the slack on keeping military assets running until the Defiant retrofit concludes, which I'm informed should be a matter of weeks now.

Further, it seems we're receiving some assistance on the fuel front. The Marauders wouldn't be first choice, not after the incident Commander Wicks lodged earlier, but if they're willing to keep our ships flying, I'm not going to turn away that assistance. I gave clearance for the train to enter our space from Rheinland on that occasion. In future, we'll keep transfers to the border worlds. I hate relying on the Junkers, of all people, but until this blows over I'm not really in a position to be picky. Thought you should be in the loop, Sir.

Regards,

Jane Hartman
Captain
Officer Commanding
21st Combat Support Group
Liberty Navy
