Director.
It has come to my attention that cruiser Carnwennan, as well as its escort wing, have provided impromptu assistance to your forces in the Cortez system. Both myself and the Warden are greatly curious about what caused such a shift in the Crown's diplomacy. Could you please shed some light on that?
With regards,
Caroline Ross, Matriarch of the Emerald Order

The Stance of Bretonia on Auxesia is one of 'closed borders' at current. Due to evidence you submitted and a number of other incidents. A summit will be held with them to discuss the matter.
I will allow you temporary access to the report your speak of which will be terminated in 24 hours. It can be found here. Finally, the survey reports are in and I will send them to you once they have been cleaned, the records were damaged in transit.

A report regarding Embrun is expected shortly, we will hopefully be able to transmit a more accurate report soon. Suffice to say that, for now, the Embrun is in the Newcastle system along with her accompanying battlegroup. The size, condition, exact location and overall strength of the battlegroup is not at this time known however we have good reason to believe that she may attempt a strike on our ships stationed at Scarborough Station. Given ongoing hostilities with the IMG it is also possible that she may attempt a pincer movement or skirt Scarborough Station altogether and try to meet up with the IMG at South Shields Refinery.
We lack the required information to speculate further on IMG-Gallic relations.

Patience is a virtue, and you have been quite patient with us. Our agents have filed this report which I now share with you. I hope it is of some benefit to you, even if it isn't exactly what either of us asked for.

Sender: Agent J. Skirka To: SIS Control
As per the directors request, Agent Bernhard, domestic agent Price and myself made an attempt yesterday to narrow down the location of the Battleship Embrun in the Newcastle system. Given the nature of the system and it's current inhabitants, finding the battleship and it's accompanying group was not exactly easy.
We have concluded that the Embrun group is not in the Northumberland Ice Cloud, although periodic Royal Navy patrols have been spotted in the region. Likewise, the Western Barrier nebula is clear from all GRI and RN patrols, and thus it is unlikely that the Embrun would be in that area. It should be noted that exploration of the nebula was far from extensive due to limited sensor range. Visual inspection of South Shields Refinery did not indicate any RN presence, and the surrounding area of Planet Hartlepool reinforced this assessment. We conclude therefore that no rendezvous has occurred between the IMG and Gallic forces.
The Galloway Ice Cloud is clear of all hostile forces with the Maltese forces having firmly entrenched their positions within the region. This ought to be considered for future dealings with our allies from Malta as their arrival in Newcastle may be of considerable benefit yet. As it happens, they are currently providing an effective guard against both the IMG and Gallic forces, which will certainly help the Royal Ark's position.
As such, we have narrowed Embrun's location down to the Eastern Barrier Nebula, although an exact location within cannot be provided due to significant resistance within the cloud. Agent Bernhard managed to provide an image which ought to confirm the Eastern Barrier Nebula as the general location of the Embrun.
