I regret to inform you that the time has unfortunately come. For over half a year now we've been fighting to regain the respect that we unknowingly lost during Zack Xander's joint Bretonian assault against our ally's shipyard at Aland. Since then, relations have taken a very dramatic downward spiral, and with the IMG's recent attacks against our ally's shipping and their reliance on the Royalists for military support the Republic has had to make the decision to take action.
As of this moment, in accordance with this transmission, the Crayterian Armed Forces has full authorization to occupy Holman Outpost in Tau-31, Camp Lister on the moon Pecos in Coronado, and to acquire the drydocks and station at Jarkarta and Singapore in Tau-44. Diplomacy has unfortunately failed, and our once loyal and faithful ally has since taken a different path, one hostile to the Republic's interests.
Admiral Townley, I expect you'll do what you feel you must within your authority to oversee these operations and ensure that these locations are secured no matter what. The main IMG cell has proven to be the major thorn in our side here, but there may possibly be dissidents within the IMG as a whole that will cooperate with us. Any that reveal themselves should be left be and coordinated with. I personally don't expect many, but the odds are possible.
Agents of the CIS, the occupation of Singapore will be primarily your domain. As the station is the IMG's last major shipyard, expect a noticeable defensive force, but not one that should be anywhere near detrimental. anti-IMG core cell dissidents will likely reveal themselves here as well. Coordinate with them if they exist to take the station and oversee its occupation.
Men and women of the CGF, I expect your orders will be quite simple. Lister and Holman will be your main areas of operation, and should be simple enough to take. Major Patsa of Regiment 11 will be taking provisional command of Lister until we can establish a more formal leadership. Any IMG who openly resist are to be fully subject to Crayter law.
I expect that this should be a formality at most, as the IMG shouldn't be too capable within Crayter space. Any issues or complaints from personnel listed here or from out in the field may be relayed here. I'll be monitoring these operations and diverting support as is needed. Should the need arise, and operations into the Tau-23 system be authorized, provisional occupation orders will be given for Java and Falkland as well. However, as we are now Holman, Singapore, Pecos, and Jakarta are our occupation targets currently.
I wish you the best of luck, ladies and gentlemen.
For those we left behind.
