I have been deployed today on the Tau front, where I met with Commissar Rivera who introduced me to the local situation as well as the most urgent matters to deal with.
We then started a simple reconnaissance mission which led us to Omicron Tau through the neighbouring systems. As Maltese presence was important, we kept a low profile as much as we could. A patrol consisting of three ships engaged us, but they were no match for highly-trained pilots like us.
We acquired interesting information about the position of the main Outcast bases in the sector (Venice, Genoa, Alcara). We also discovered a small outpost called Extremadura, which seems of strategic importance despite its low defenses.
Our mission was almost over when an enemy gunship spotted us, and Commissar Rivera ordered me to retreat in order not to sustain useless damage. Nothing is worthy of being mentioned about our return flight.
We still have to discuss about the next steps to take in the light of today's findings. Any kind of action shall be planned with utmost care, as the region can prove very hostile.
This concludes my report. Rest assured of my full commitment to the Coalition People's goals and interests.
