Minister,

We have made a detailed analysis of the situation around Remunzia. It appears that a Slave Rebellion fleet is currently present in the Stellaria Argentum system - they appear to be in full control of the Remunzian system and appear to have taken control of the planet - there does not appear to be any form of organized resistance or military opposition to the Slave Rebellion.

Within the sector, two other Slave Rebellion fleets are present, and Remunzia is being used as a supply station by those fleets.

We can additionally report that each of these Slave Rebellion fleets are very large in number, but the individual power of each ship is small. Many of them are re-purposed civilian and commercial vessels. They should not be underestimated, however.

The Hyperspace lanes in sector 12 -3 and the Bozzy Spine links to this system in Sector 13 -2 remain under our control, and Slave Rebellion forces are unable to use them.

We are also reporting supply lines extending from the Remunzian system towards sector 11 -3, though the details as to where they are going remain unclear.

((OOC: More information will become available over time as intelligence gathering continues))

[Mercury]

Minister,

Based on the Remunzian data and our own scans, we have determined the strength of the Slave Rebellion forces in Sector 13 -2 as well as Sector 10 -4. We additionally determined they currently have two armies on the Remunzian homeworld.

Based on resource distribution, we additionally suspect that there are at least two more Slave Rebellion fleets in the region, though we have no information as of yet on their whereabouts or composition.

((OOC:

• Slave Rebellion Fleet 7 -- ( 10 -4 [Combat Ready - Blockading], ●● / ●● / ●● | ●●●● / ●●●● / ●●●● )
• Slave Rebellion Fleet 23 -- ( 13 -2 [Combat Ready], ●●●● / ●●●● / ●●●● | ●●● / ●●● / ●●● )
• Slave Rebellion Fleet 11 -- ( 13 -2 [Combat Ready], ●● / ●● / ●● | ●●● / ●●● / ●●● )

Note: The fact that the Slave Rebellion defence and offence values are different (seemingly in violation of the normal rules for fleets) is correct - the Slave Rebellion fleets consist for a large part of retrofitted ships that aren't designed as military vessels, so their upgrades to fleets are less effective than Union technology allows.

Additional note: anyone with scanning capacity in the relevant sectors will get this information though I think its reasonable to presume the Ministry of Defence will inform the relevant parties))
