Liberty Navy 46th Fleet Security Clearance: < GRANTED >
Sender ID: FADM Martin Kemp-Smith
Recipient ID: Fleet-wide
Subject: Preparation
Attention Fleet,
Sirius News has confirmed increased pirate and other hostile activity converging towards Liberty's Borders. I am hereby standing up our Reserve Fleet and all assets active within Liberty to the defense of the Republic. All Commanding Officers and Squadron Pilots are tasked as followed:
Defense against anticipated Capital Fleets and escorts where appropriate
Coordinating and supporting the Liberty Police in interception of smuggling transports
Merchant Marine to provide auxiliary support to Liberty Police and Naval units
Assets currently not deployed to Vespucci in the Retribution Task Force will now actively patrol Liberty and ensure the Laws of the Republic are upheld. At no point do I want to see any idling about within the Manhattan Defence Grid. Senior Officers, should you witness any Officer doing so, you are to redirect them on ad-hoc patrol routes.
Your primary task is to ensure the safety of Liberty, her interests and the citizens. All eyes will be upon us, along with the the rest of the Navy. I want nothing but your very best and the upmost professionalism. Any actions contrary to this, in line with the Fleet's Code of Conduct, will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. So remember who you are. Remember where you are. Remember what it is you joined the Navy for. Liberty finds herself in a time in a time of need and we will not let her down.
Good luck to you all and Godspeed.
