LOCATION: Vogtland Base, Dresden System
As I suspected, comrades, the Rheinland Military have stationed a battleship in Omega-15, approximately 3k from the Dresden jump hole: the Battleship Schwerin. This will make it difficult to enter Rheinland if we choose to mount an assault via Omega-41 and Omega-15. We shall have to enlist the help of our Rheinland Revolutionary allies if we are to rescue Katz before he disappears into Vierlande.
I have just returned from my scouting mission to Bretonia. I have compiled reports on nearly every BAF Battleship currently on stationary assignment, as well as scans of the BPA's Newgate Prison. I was unable to scout the Newcastle system, due to a need to resupply. I also scanned the two KNF Battleships on stationary assignment in Bretonian space. My reports follow.

Hail, Comrades,
I began my search in Liberty. Sticking to the central systems, I got scans of six battleships and two prison stations. I encountered resistance , but I dealt with it fairly easily. I also encountered a Rogue ship that gave me a very generous cargo. I'll turn them in when you require them. They are safe for now.

Greetings comrades, and good day to you. Today my duty is both joyfull and grim, but lets first deal with grim news. As I have pointed out last time, recon failed in doing its job, so here goes following:
Comrade Katya Vaschenko is demoted to lieutenant, if in possesion of gunboat class vessel, vessel will remain drydocked.
Comrade Mikhail Petrov is demoted back to sub lieutenant, and will reacquire his partisan class while his other ships are refitted.
Comrades Razin and Totenkopt were on different mission at given time and this does not apply to them.
Now unto those joyfull news:
Lieutenant Commander Angelica Broch, congtatulations on your promotion, seek out possible apprenticeship on an gunboat with one of our commanders. You will also be awarded Blue Halfstar for gathering of data on whole of Liberty space. Additionally you have an week vacation aboard CPS-Forbidden City, an converted resort liner.
Additionally, I wish to commend zoner captain Doc Holliday, for providing wholesome report with visual data on Gallia. He is entitled to an week vacation on CPS-Forbidden City as well as recieving White star, an civilian decoration for dedication to the cause.

Greetings Cadet Gunboat pilots, it has come to my attention that a pair of you require apprenticeship using our premier weapon, the Storm Class Gunboat.
The Social Credit has been placed on Training Detail and placed at the disposal of Lt. Commanders Gonzalez and Broch. I will be over seeing the training and scoring performances.
The Social Credit is one of our oldest and proudest Gunboats, remember that when you pilot him through the space lanes, and do nothing to tarnish the record of such a fine ship.

Recipient: SCRA High Command
This is Sub-Lt Warner reporting on my scouting mission, i'v went through Kusari, Rheinland and into Liberty, aquiring Intel on various research facilities and their defensives capabilities.
Some of the defenses in the Rheinland Facilities were the easiest to penetrate, Schatten's having the weakest due to it's mines being low yield and spaced too far apart from one another to be very effective against Fighter and Bomber penetrations.
Comments: Munster is lightly defended, no Weapon Platforms in sight, however Rheinland Fighter Patrols frequent the area and the Minefield prevents most ships from entering the zone and into weapons range,however a small opening is within the field allowing access to the interior.
Comments: Schatten is relatively easy to access due to the mines being low-yield and spaced enough away from one another that a fighter, perhaps even a Gunboat can slip through unhindered. Internal defenses are much more advanced with Patrols of Fighters and multiple Weapons Platforms.
Comments: Patrols near Sendai are relatively weak, there are several Weapons Platforms but no Mines present. overall this may be the most easily accessable.
Comments: Kansai is moderately protected by a Minefield and Weapons Platforms, mild patrols were detected but nothing that would be a threat to our forces.
-Nansei- http://i47.tinypic.com/dw3o5.jpg
Comments: Very lightly defended, several Weapons Platforms, no Minefield and patrols are very light, however close proximity with the Kusari Battleship guarding the Tau-29 Jumpgate means reinforcements would arrive quickly should they manage to sound an alarm. (Jamming equipment would have to be used for a successful raid upon this station)
Comments: Kodiak is located within the heart of Liberty's secrets, multiple Weapons Platforms, Highly equipped Patrols, raids by the Alien menace and it's close proximity to the Navy Shipyard means reinforcements would arrive fast.

Greetings comrades,
I've got a special mission from Commander Katz. Scout Omega systems. So I took my bomber and asked our engineers to mount HLRS (Heavy Long Range Scanners) on iy. Once they finished it I started working.
First I headed to Omega-5 and started there my scanner. Here are results.
