To any and all personnel still on this channel, it may be late, but to offer some sunlight in the depths of hell, welcome to 830. I know that there aren't many of us left holding the garrison, and ships have been making their way out where they could for the past month and a half, but I'm pleased to issue to each man and woman still holding their proverbial rifle the last orders I'm to give as an Admiral of the Insurgency.
Fall back.
Leniex is set to be scuttled as per Code Utah, and the Fate's Hand has been set with rudimentary automation systems. All EMCON drives aboard the Incursus have been accounted for, and all nodes for the Leniex network have been moved aboard as well. All ships will begin a staggered retreat; Flight Alpha has already departed via Magellan. Any ships bound for Inverness should utilize the nebula and mask emissions to prevent detection by hostiles. Flights Beta, Delta, Epsilon, and Gamma will maintain a defensive perimeter around Veracruz and keep a secure route to escape nodes open as long as possible.
This will not be a pretty retreat; WARHAMMER forces will maintain pressure to cover all other Flights. Rendezvous coordinates have been uploaded to the network.
Flights have been assigned as follows:
FLIGHT ALPHA - ARCTURUS / ABADDON / All remaining Harmony forces | COMPLETE
FLIGHT BETA - PROCYON / LAST SUNRISE / MINOTAUR | IN PROGRESS
FLIGHT DELTA - WARSPITE II / MANTICORE / HARBINGER | STANDBY
FLIGHT EPSILON - IBLIS / TRANSGRESSOR / INCURSUS / THASTUS | STANDBY
FLIGHT GAMMA - VEN'GYR / EXCALIBUR / DAMOCLES / MEGALODON | STANDBY
Routes for each flight will be given before departure. Flights assigned are assumed departure via Magellan. Time estimates have final flight at roughly seven weeks from now, so keep vigilant for your flight's departure.
We bloodied them good, but logistics just isn't on our side.
And before anyone complains, I've tried for months to get a hold of the Triton's CO. Whoever is still alive over there is either not on the network or has elected to remain in orbit regardless.

Good day, this is Captain Howard.
Admiral, I want to report that Starlancer has returned to the field after necessary construction time at drydock and is ready to support defensive operations. We will attempt to hold the line, however I would like to have my ship and crew leave alive from Vespucci - we're requesting to leave with FLIGHT DELTA or BETA when it's ready.
Your ship has been acknowledged for the defense. We're lucky to still have you here.
Your desire to attach with a departure flight is understandable, and I'll leave it to your discretion which one you and your crew wish to leave with.
Keep in mind that each flight has scatter orders once contact has been broken with opposition within Magellan. Rendezvous coordinates for Coronado have already been uploaded to the network.

To all personnel, despite careful planning Flights Beta and Delta will need to be sent consecutively to minimize Navy response. Flight Alpha, while successful to a degree, saw unprecedented casualties. HARBINGER will also be removed from Flight Delta, as her captain has declared her intent to stay with TRITON and hold the defense. Captain Howard, if the Starlancer is still planning to leave with either flight, I'd suggest preparing your men for departure. Expect both flights to depart within the next 24 hours.
Flights Epsilon and Gamma will remain as per orders. Departure timeline has been updated to cover the missing week.
FLIGHT ALPHA - ARCTURUS / ABADDON / All remaining Harmony forces | COMPLETE
FLIGHT BETA - PROCYON / LAST SUNRISE / MINOTAUR | IN PROGRESS
FLIGHT DELTA - WARSPITE II / MANTICORE / STARLANCER| IN PROGRESS
FLIGHT EPSILON - IBLIS / TRANSGRESSOR / INCURSUS / THASTUS | STANDBY
FLIGHT GAMMA - VEN'GYR / EXCALIBUR / DAMOCLES / MEGALODON | STANDBY

CO of Yorktown here, reaching out in hope you're still in good health.
Account for the vessel still in orbital defense, and content to being assigned to the final wave of evacuation flights. Should everything go well - we'll see you on the rendezvous coordinates and if not? Hold us a symbolic minute of silence for the fallen.
Libera te ex infernis.

Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war. Heroes never die! @Vitoniz30 @Connor
I'm pleased to announce that Flights Beta and Delta both departed yesterday with minimal losses, and report substantial damage dealt to Magellan blockade forces. LAST SUNRISE, before Barrier communication cutoff, reported the loss of MINOTAUR to blockade forces, and contact had been severed with PROCYON by order of the latter's CO. LAST SUNRISE has also confirmed the loss of ARCTURUS to Naval interference. ABADDON remains unaccounted for.
Unexpected delays in the windows of opportunity for departure in Magellan remain considerable to the success of flights Epsilon and Gamma. Brief windows for patrols outline a potential boon, however, as light skirmishes between Bretonian and Liberty vessels have been reported. Anticipate that these windows may grow in the coming weeks. Command will keep you informed of major developments.
Captain Reznik, your desire outlined on both the network as well as in space has been noted. You and your vessel have been assigned to Flight Gamma. Assume final departure time as unknown; We're still working out the best timing window.

To all personnel,
As IBI has no doubt already announced, Flights Epsilon and Gamma have departed Vespucci, and as such the remaining Admiralty with them. Naval forces in Magellan have been routed entirely, with what remained retreating through the California gate. Any and all remaining retreating forces should make their way through Magellan now while the way is clear. Naval forces will likely not allow this vacuum to remain.
All forces outside Vespucci should make for the rendezvous as planned. Once all ships are accounted for, then plans can be made going forward.
Any forces that divert for separate coordinates are, of course, free to do so, and I wish you all luck wherever fate takes you out there.
To all personnel remaining in Vespucci, know that you are the vanguard, and the only reason we had any chance of making it out from Veracruz alive. Your names will be recorded, your ships catalogued, so that all who continue on will remember your unwavering loyalty in the face of incredible odds.
You've all made me proud.
Thank you.
Libera te ex Inferis.
