It's been a while, and I hear the action out in the Tau systems is on a fine edge between containment and full anarchy. Nevertheless, despite what happened in Tau-44, we can't afford to let the people on Borneo think that we've left them out to dry.
I'm ordering a small task force to be deployed to Tau-44 to keep an eye on things, as well as ensure the populace that they still have protection from above. Keep in mind that what the Ministry has planned here is small, and only viable for quick strikes if any as well as raid suppression. Further orders will be sent via typical means, but this deployment should keep an eye on our holdings until CDI finishes with repairing and rearming Hades for future deployment.
A small group up there can also keep an eye on salvaging operations.
If you have any questions, my door is always open. Otherwise, the order should be clear.
For those we left behind.

It has indeed been a while since we last spoke. You are correct, the fighting in the Tau's is fierce but out defenses still held as best they could, even at a great cost to our people and assets, as I am sure you are aware. I agree with you, we cannot abandon Tau-44 or let the people there think we simply up-and-left, which is not the case, even if we had to tow the remains of Hades home.
The taskforce shall be received and escorted by a wing of snubcraft to pose as it's screen. Furthermore I have ordered an increase in patrols in the system in hopes of being able to fend off possible probes by hostile entities and to bringe a further sense of security to the people while we concentrate on rebuilding Hades and bringing more security back to the area.
I have no questions pertaining to this operation at the moment. If you require anything from me, let me know.
