Commander's Office Terminal
Pirate Operations Reports of pirate activity continue to plague the Settled Systems.

While the Mission Boards supply us with intel, the Fleet often changes its targets to keep us guessing. According to Toft's report, there are three types of operations the Fleet uses to fill its coffers.

1. Piracy
2. Smuggling
3. Theft

They have honed these operations under their current leadership, and we would do well to study their tactics so that we can better protect the Settled Systems.

Crimson Fleet Tactics There is an old saying that to fight the enemy one must know their enemy. The aphorism, while trite, still holds true today.

Like many disorganized groups, the Crimson Fleet uses guerilla tactics. They utilize the element of surprise to their advantage, grav jumping and quickly striking their targets before fleeing the scene.

These are not revelatory tactics. Throughout history, ambush, deception, sabotage, and espionage have been the tools smaller groups employed to outmaneuver larger naval forces. SysDef was formed in order to fight this foe in a non-traditional sense. It is up to the leadership to find creative ways to do that without sacrificing the principles we hold dear.

State of the Vigilance After speaking with Commander Natara, Lieutenant Toft has assured me that Project Svalinn has been fully tested by the engineers at SY-920, and approved by MAST. If everything goes according to plan, we will begin implementation immediately.

When the time comes, this upgrade will be essential for what we have planned.

The Crimson Fleet Threat It's no secret that we've had trouble explaining to the officials at MAST the urgency of the Crimson Fleet menace. Despite the fact that they are a disorganized band of pirates, they must be treated as a criminal organization that poses a threat to the safety of the Settled Systems.

Unfortunately, without intel on the inner workings of the Crimson Fleet, much of this is speculation. We need someone on the inside to help us fill in the blanks. This is why I've requested the records of every prisoner detained by the United Colonies. Surely there is a candidate among them who will suit our needs.

Resolve and Purpose There are years where nothing happens, and years that can define a life. I was sixteen when I first took to the skies. Seventeen when it all came crashing down.

It began with a ship. Earlier that year, my father had salvaged a wreck from the war, a B class Deimos fighter from an abandoned staryard. It was old, outdated, and to put it bluntly, a piece of junk. The controls were shaky, the plating was rusted, and the engine coughed like it had a bad lung.

But none of that mattered to me. I was hooked from the very first grav jump.

You see, up until that point, I had often struggled to focus. Nothing I did had any long term appeal. That all changed the moment I took that Deimos junker out to the spacelanes. For the first time in my life, I could see a life for me beyond the present. This ship, for all its loose wires, dents, and pockmarks, gave me purpose. Something I could devote my life to.

Three months later I was an escort for my father's freighter.

Ten months later, we were attacked by the Crimson Fleet.

Most days, I think about my father -- the kind, gentle man who raised me. I think about how much poorer this galaxy is without his laughter soaring through its membrane. And other times, my thoughts turn to his son, the boy with the star-bright eyes, and the future he lost.

When I am confronted by this boy. my resolve begins to wane. I want him to forgive me for the man I've become, one consumed by hate and vengeance. I stand wordless as he tugs at the corners of my jacket, tears flowing down his cheeks, begging me to let my anger go. And in that moment, every part of me wants to embrace him, and tell him exactly what he needs to hear. I want to tell him I will drop this accursed chase, and give his future the chance it deserves.

But instead, I turn away. I leave him crying, alone in the void of space. But what he does not realize, is that I am doing this for him. I fight the Crimson Fleet for all the fathers and futures lost to a world that never should have been. And when I think of them, my resolve returns, and I have purpose once more.

What is it all for? What is it all for? On the eve of battle, I find myself asking this question now more than ever.

So to remind myself, I've taken to wandering the halls, listening to soldiers talk idly about their families. I've found it's rejuvenating to hear these small stories about spouses, children, and babies on the way. Then, to contrast, I like to imagine what the Fleet are talking about, there on the Key.

In war, sometimes we are asked to suspend our humanity in order to serve it. But our fight requires no such compromise. The Crimson Fleet stand in defiance to what is right and humane. If you don't believe me, just listen to what they say.

What it was all for I had our courier grav jump to MAST to relay the success of the mission. There was some thought that I would deliver the news myself, but my gut feeling says that would be gauche. No one likes an "I told you so," least of all those in charge.

Besides, there is only one soul I would like to tell in person, and when my time comes, I will deliver the news with tears in my eyes.

For this is a joyous day, and yet, not what I expected. All in all, I knew I would be happy. But strangely, I don't feel relief? My original plan was to retire when this mission was over, but this battle has invigorated me.

I'm afraid that boy with the star-bright eyes will have to wait a little longer.

Criminal Profiles
Adler Kemp Name: Adler Kemp
Age: 45
Personality: Hot-headed, Competent, Seasoned

Profile: Adler is a Crimson Fleet ship captain operating out of Cydonia. His hot-headed nature means Adler is easily provoked, which has gotten him into numerous scrapes. Despite this flaw, Adler is a seasoned ship captain and in most cases he can use his battle prowess to escape sticky situations.

Naeva Mora Name: Naeva Mora
Age: 32
Personality: Short-Fused, Temperamental, Intense, Incendiary

Profile: Naeva Mora was born and raised in Neon and orphaned at a young age. She spent most of her youth getting arrested for crimes ranging from simple assault to grand larceny, and was a frequent visitor at the SysDef prison. At 22, she stowed away on a transport to Akila City. Was eventually recruited to the Crimson Fleet.

Mathis Castillo Name: Mathis Castillo
Age: 32
Personality: Angry, Violent, Aggressive, Loner

Profile: Mathis Castillo is a new member of the Fleet, but has a long record as a smuggler for the Trade Authority, working primarily in Freestar space. It will be interesting to track the relationship between him and our agent, given they joined the Fleet at the same time.

Evgeny Rokov Name: Evgeny Rokov
Age: 50
Personality: Experienced, Steadfast, Greedy

Profile: A former smuggler for the Crimson Fleet, UC SysDef was able to broker a deal with Rokov after his capture. In exchange for a reduced sentence, he provided SysDef with valuable information about the Fleet's operations.

However, after serving his sentence, Rokov is no longer considered a viable asset. Intelligence tells us he seeks a return to the Fleet and his actions are aligned with their interests.

Huan Daiyu Name: Huan Daiyu
Age: 27
Personality: Quiet, Reserved, Cunning

Profile: One of the younger Captains of the Fleet, Huan has developed a reputation for being prompt and professional. Despite building a successful cargo business in the heart of New Atlantis, intelligence reports tell us she's involved in a number of smuggling operations to various stations across the Settled Systems. Measured and meticulous, Captain Daiyu's personality stands in contrast to her more boisterous cohorts.

Estelle Vincent Name: Estelle Vincent
Age: 26
Personality: Charismatic, Violent, Aggressive

Profile: Estelle Vincent is the captain responsible for managing Fleet activity in Neon, and has ties to Benjamin Bayu. On the surface, Estelle appears boisterous and charismatic, often drinking herself into a stupor and singing bawdy tunes at Madam Sauvage's bar. However, in reality she is dangerous and aggressive, preferring to handle problems through violent measures.

Delgado Name. Delgado
Personality: Clever, Shrewd, Careful, Calculating

Profile: Originally hailing from Akila City, Delgado fell into crime at a young age, despite being born into wealth. His parents exiled him in hopes of correcting the behavior, yet this only served to increase his criminal behavior, culminating in the theft of a cargo ship which he used to initiate himself into the Crimson Fleet.

Delgado is a shrewd, clever leader who isn't prone to rash judgment. He keeps a tight rein on the Crimson Fleet, but he's given his pirates enough latitude to do what they do best.
