On the Commonwealth of AF Leporis
In regard to my candidature to further prepare these briefings, I have been tasked by the members of the Planning Committee to submit to you the case of AF Leporis in the Shokondii control sphere.
Sitting at just over 100 light years away from Eotienses, AF Leporis is a system in the outer rim of your domain, with several ringed planets to provide stunning vistas, it's easy for one like myself to forget the work at hand. But the Imperium (the right to command) has been bestowed upon the leaders of the Planning Committee and not myself because they do not forget, nor relent in upholding your standards of work ethic and duty.
With a small hardworking colonial population, the citizens of AF Leporis are no novices to hardships or to the inconsistencies and mismanagement in services the federal governments have been providing to the people of these far reaching systems. Born into these hardships this generation of citizens have proved to be steadfast in their quest for prosperity. One faction in particular, the AF Leporis Nobles, have established themselves as just candidates to control the system and have been at the forefront of negotiations alongside your delegates for the entirety of the transition process. To ensure that the citizens of AF Leporis would see a continued and unabated flow of resources and commerce, it became imperative to the negotiations that the federal aligned Travel Partners would have to relinquish control of the sole coriolis station in the system, Murray Platform.
As negotiations slogged on throughout April and the beginnings of May, it became evident that the Travel Partners had not been using their time to prepare for elections as agreed upon and instead chose to amass their forces in the shadows of AF lep A 6. War would be unavoidable, and while the presence of your fleet secured The Nobles security, they called upon a powerful supporter to aid in their effort as well, The Sacred Knights.
On the twenty first of May, The battle for Murray Platform began. As violence broke out in the system, it became clear early on that the combined forces of the Imperial Fleet, The Sacred Knights and the Nobles of AF Lep would be unwavering in the pursuit of absolute victory. After 5 days of war, the Travel Partners yielded the field of battle and final control over Murray Platform. Reports from the combat area are fast spreading amongst your garrisons and the citizens of AF Leporis of the heroics witnessed during that bloody week. I have no doubt in the reports of your loyal commanders and those of The Sacred Knights being utterly fearless and performing their combat duties with the highest degree of tactical mastery accomplishable.
The dust has only just begun to settle into the debris fields of AF Leporis, but no moment will be wasted. As you have directed the Committee, all measures for the Defense of the system and the Empires interests have been prepared and taken long before the final shot was fired. To further insure the prosperity of the region post-war, the Committee has come to terms with the Nobles and Sacred Knights to begin a multi system expansion of the Nobles. With the assistance of your fleet and the support of the Sacred Knights it is only a matter of time until the governmental structure of the Nobles is installed in the neighboring systems and this period of peace and civil liberty brought to AF Leporis takes hold throughout the rest of the control sphere.
For Her Glory, Prefect of The Praetorian Curiate Assembly
