Reports of increased activity in the fringes of Languedoc system proved accurate, as the Enclave launched a major operation in the system at the very moment our second offensive in Dauphine was initiated.
The Gallic Exiles have sent substantial bulk of their remnant forces, and pressed and occupied the Quillan zone, until now a non-combat zone due to the civilian centers. Our recon groups confirmed the presence of well known Rocroi and Montmorency flagships, leading the enemy measuring over one full fleet worth of firepower.
However, it seems their objectives are not a rear flank attack on our forces in Dauphine, for the time being. Instead we have detected a large volume of transport traffic coming to and from Planet Quillan, mostly from unmarked civilian craft. Gallic freighters, hired freelancers and smugglers flying under fake transponders have seen shipping out large quantities of what is highly probable to be military hardware, and in return are ferrying scores of humans, if we go by the life signatures in their holds.

Naval Intelligence believes that Royalists sympathizers were hiding within the civilian administration of the planet and arranged for the creation of military workshops and production plants on the mining colony, producing and stockpiling large amounts of military supplies to be shipped out when the exiled fleets were able to create an opening. It is likely believable that the Exiles are freeying large quantities of either soldiers to fortify their hold on the planet, or bringing prisoners or slaves to boost their production output in the factories with minimal cost.
Kusari Naval Intelligence request an immediate blockade to all civilian traffic on the entirety of the system, and once airspace control is wrested of the exiled forces, systematic orbital or high altitude bombardment of the industrial centers on the planet surface.
