Bretonian Admiralty,

Following the success of Operation Vanguard, reinforcements and supplies have reached the frontline and Navy Command has approved to propose Operation: Eagle Claw to our allies. In order to build upon the rush of supplies and reinforcements coming in through the Cortez corridor, we wish to mount an assault to break the Gallic push and force the enemy to end the siege of Planet New London. Battlegroups Concord and Alma have arrived with reinforcements to Kensington and the next stage is to commence an assault on the Gallic/Corsair rearguard.

In order to commence Operation Eagle Claw, we would enact the following plan: Battlegroup Alma takes the front lead, flanked by MacDuff and Ottawa, left and right, respectively, with Concord commanding the spearhead from behind Alma. Our remnant forces from the Yukon battlegroup will flank the enemy formation around Planet Dover and strike at the Corsair battlegroup. Intelligence has confirmed the Gallic fleets are battlecarriers and lack heavy weaponry necessary to take on a direct assault, necessitating the destruction of the Athos battlegroup by the strikeforce.

We will reorganize the strikeforce into a force of battlecruisers, cruisers and bombers, allocating our fighters to tangle with the enemies strikecraft. However without Bretonian assistance in the offensive we cannot guarantee a victory, as we've allocated all possible reinforcements available at this time to the Kensington flank. Once the attack begins, the strikeforce will flank the enemy and concentrate their fire on the Athos battlegroup to reduce their heavy weapons power to a minimum. From there, we'll advance to the wreck of Southampton and choke out the Gallic siege or bear down on them, such would be decided in the future.

Questions, concerns and suggestions are welcome.
