With the completion of Operation "Ice Lance", my battlegroup supplied in Newcastle and only recently began the trip back to New London as full burn. This forced us to tread a dangerous route through Leeds, though we took this opportunity to get current tactical data on fleet movements within the system.

I would like to report that the Guillestre Fleet did indeed entirely move to New London, yet was replaced by a new fleet. Tactical data suggests it's flagship, the Montmorency, is guarding it's escorts rather than the other way around.

A high number of the new Gallic destroyer-class vessels have made a loose ring around Planet Leeds. It is to my understanding that they are designed for orbital bombardments, suggesting that there may be intent to "Salt the Earth" should victory in New London be achieved. Sensor data will give exact details of our tight-ping scanning of the sphere around the planet. This data is a couple days dated, as we were required by protocol to get into New London to securely transmit.

Captain Marshall,

Your report makes for hard reading, but I am glad you were able to gaher this intel, we may not be too late.

Those bastards are not capable of humanity, and at the first appearance of defeat, they sink to their most lowest of instincts.

Marshal, I know Leeds is your home as it is mine, and rest assured, we will do all in our power to stop this, or to lessen the damage.
