In the early hours of this morning the GMG were caught by surprise by an expeditionary force of Phantoms. The Phantoms engaged GMG forces near the station without discretion. Eyewitness reports indicate the presence of four Phantom vessels, including a gunboat class vessel. During the intense firefight the gunboat was reported to have dropped some form of pod toward the station. These pods drilled into the base and disgorged unknown quantities of Phantom ground assault troops into the station. Fighting was firece on both levels of the conflict. Clever tactics were displayed by both the GMG and Phantom forces, although only one ship was destroyed it soon became apparent that the ferocity of the Phantoms would carry the day in space. With the destruction of the Tartary the GMG were left without heavy fire support and soon began to feel the force of combined Phantom fire. Choosing discretion as the better part of valour, they scooped up their fallen comrades and headed for safer havens.
Though what happened next came as shock, the GMG state that staying to continue the fight would have achieved no better result. The Phantom marines took four decks in the intial assault, slaughtering all in their path. Continued fighting during the space battle left 25% of the station in the hands of these vicious psychopaths. It is unclear as to how far they will advance, as reports still emanating from the station claim an increased response from the security stationed inside. It is likely the station is consumed within by the screams of the dead, dying and those who are in the clutches of this band of inhumane killers.
GMG spokespersons have stated that a full assault force will be convened to break the siege of Aomori and that no Phantom will be allowed to live for perpetrating this atrocity.
