Comm Log
We cannot allow the rebellion to gain a foothold in this sector.
Agreed
Still, we must minimize casualties during the push.
We will do our best. What is the rescue plan?
We've arranged for Rescue Transports to shuttle Aerlen citizens into safe territory, but the transports will be vulnerable. Do you have ships that can provide escort?
Yes, we do.
That is good, but they won't have a chance without cover fire. Make sure your first attack wave is fully engaged before we send in the escorted transports
How big of a wave should we send?
At least enough to deal with 50 Cerulean ships. There are many more in Roathir, however.
What other tactical data do we have from the listening posts?
The Cerulean Conclave have seized control of the bases we had in Roathir. Although I wish they could be saved, they must be dealt with, as well.
You know those bases better than any. Any advice?
The bases use some of our prototype defense technology using target scattering. The scattering array is hidden near the port stabilizer. I recommend taking it out first.
Weapons?
In addition to their standard loadout, the bases have auxiliary missile batteries which might cause you some trouble. They are located above the central core... should be easy to spot.
Anything else?
One other thing. The bases are integrated with specialized computers that are able to adapt to incoming attack patterns. If you rely too heavily on a single ship to deal the damage, this could pose a problem.
We'll take that into account.
Many years of work went into designing those defenses. Now we are destroying them..
We may be able to salvage some of the technology from the bases. It would be a shame to see a loss of so much progress.
I agree, but there may not be time. Our priority is to save the lives of our people, not the research they left behind.
Many lives will still be lost.
And their blood will be on the hands of the Cerulean Conclave. A shame. Had their aired their grievances lawfully, their movement may have survived.
I doubt this will be the last of them.
I'm sure some have already planted seeds far from Roathir, but they will remain nothing more than a whisper. Today's assault will show them how we respond to betrayal.
