The Order sent in a secondary spacecraft to for reconaissance at New York near Planet Manhattan. If you see the stills from the gun camera footage you will find that it was equipped with the rare minified spyglass scanner. This may suggest increased funding for reconaissance and intelligence gathering but we'll need more evidence to prove this. While it is a secondary spacecraft not a primary fleet unit, we can't discount the possibility of Order Intelligence launching this operation indirectly. We may want to conduct a proportionate retaliation at Omicron Minor if we can spare the units. Our campaign against the Order was largely over a decade ago when our forces returned from deployment at the Omicrons. We'll need to gauge if they are taking advantage of our retreat or not.
