YC 116.01.30
With a recent rise in criminal activity
in the Aulari constellation by several rival organizations that
threaten their assets and activities, the Servant Sisters of Eve have
petitioned the Chief Executive Panel for additional defense assets to
be relocated to the area to deal with the menace. With
recommendations from the CEP, the Sisters of Eve have turned to
elements of the Fourth District for assistance to the Osmon star
system.
Always looking to offer aid and
support to State assets, the Fourth District has deployed a
battleship squadron to interdict the movements of pirate factions.
"We actually deployed several
weeks ago," says Lieutenant Junior Grade Nidia Masters,
Commodore of the detached squadron, "but we were interrupted by
a CONCORD-sanctioned war that those (expletive deleted) in the CEP
were unwilling to have nullified, so we waited it out. Each of these
battleships is worth as much as a cruiser squadron, so we are not
going to deploy them with hostile capsuleers in the area"
Due to the hostile forces and their
disposition being unknown, Commodore Masters cannot give a firm
estimate to the operation's time frame other than "a couple of
weeks".
"I have done these deployments
before over the years and the ability to mas produce and train new
ships and crews by groups like the Serpentis Corporation and the
Angel Cartel frightens me, " she reports, "but our kind has
the advantage of endurance. Attrition will overwhelm the enemy's war
machine."
Commodore Masters has stated that the
Fourth District's military presence will continue at a reduced rate
for some time, and that the Servant Sisters of Eve have been
contractually bound to a significant compensation scheme for deployed
officers.
With additional private military
contractors being deployed to the area by the Caldari State and the
Sisters of Eve, criminal organizations will have a significantly more
difficult time gaining a foothold so close to the Caldari core
worlds.
