It is with mixed emotions that I make this transmission.

The final assault on Omega-52 occurred at 18:30 SMT today. The incursion itself was more successful than we could have hoped. The Rebel forces, assisted by Liberty Navy's Gold Wing pushed back the Loyalist troops long enough for our transports to both insert the troop squadrons and disperse the nanite countermeasures. While I can't say the same for the Vokhanists, there were minimal casualties on our side.

Unfortunately, though, of those casualties were some of our own. The men and women aboard our transports for this operation took a gamble with their lives for the future of the safety of others, Coalition and Zoner alike. For the crew of the Resolute, this wager cost some of them their lives.

The transports came under fire of a Loyalist cruiser shortly after dispersal of the nanites on Planet Jiang Xi. Captain Sara Hillsborough and Engineer Geoffrey Cobb held on to the Resolute long enough for the other three members of the skeleton crew to jettison in an escape pod, but the Captain and Engineer went down with the ship, this 18th of April.

While our spirits are high as we celebrate victory with our comrades in the Coalition, we also mourn for the loss of two valuable members of the OSI family. Their sacrifice was not in vain.

Encrypting....
Done.

To the Board:

The loss of a Whale class transport is a hardship on the fleet. I've already requested the appropriate paperwork to commission a new ship. I'll send notification along once said paperwork has been filed.
