My name is Alexis Navarro, former Fleet Captain of the Hellfire Legion under Locklear. Also a former CO of "Taurus" prototype, under supervision of Fleet Admiral Snow and Locklear, which was scrapped later and instead common Arbiter class ship rechristened to Sierra Negra was commisioned. There I served for several months before I had to retire due to health issues. All is well now however.
Most importantly I've decided to request permission to enter service again and help with evacuations and defense of Veracruz. And if possible, I would like to be stationed on Sierra Negra again and join my former crew in what appears to be our last days.
With regards, Alexis Navarro, Former Fleet Captain
I'm not familiar with the 'Taurus Prototype', though I didn't have much time to go through Locklear's files before events in Bering kicked off. It may have been shelved somewhere in the R&D logs, but it wouldn't be wise to unpack the EMCON drives until they're secure.
Assuming the Sierra Negra wasn't part of Flights Alpha, Beta, or Delta, then consider your request granted, and yourself reinstated at the rank of Captain. Ensure you're updated with the current evacuation protocols via the Leniex Network, as well as marking tactical and logistical updates. Once you're settled back in, I'll also need confirmation on your decision to stay or leave with Flights Epsilon and Gamma.
Welcome back to the fight, Fleet Captain.
Libera te ex Inferis.
West, out.

"Taurus" project has been scrapped almost 6 years ago, I am willing to share brief information about what was it supposed to be, but in better time. Now there are crucial and more important tasks to be done.
Sierra Negra is still in Vespucci, in next few hours I will get myself familiar with EVAC protocols and plans. I will get back to you as soon as we decide our next course.
After a very careful consideration and debate with the inner circle, we have decided to remain in Vespucci and provide Epsilon and Gamma flights with more time to prepare and leave our contested space.
We will make them bleed for our people and make sure to take down as much of them as possible with us. Like shown below.
