HIP 22460

Operations log, SULAIR [GTZX-S]: HIP 22460 system. August 3rd 3308. Taskforce EXILE: - Thargoid combat in the vicinity of the INV Audacious Dream. Committed force: Six Vessels.
Losses: Three Vessels.
The intensity of combat is rising at a noticeable rate. While Thargoid forces proliferate, Human forces are also flowing into the system. However, force quantity is not the only factor in play, but force quality too. Inexperienced Commanders and only partially equipped ships are being pushed into the line and expended at a prodigious rate, my own included. Interceptors appear to be arriving with increased scout support, disrupting force efforts to eliminate interceptors at pace.
A guardian module reinforcement package is desirable for the ship, but the Chieftain cannot be so equipped until pattern epsilon obelisk data is gathered in sufficient quantity. Time cannot be taken out of the line in order to make the trip to the guardian ruins to prospect the active obelisks. Interceptors appear to be arriving with increased scout support, disrupting force efforts to eliminate interceptors at pace.
Reliance on team work and trust in one's team members is the steel in our efforts. God help us all in the coming hours and days.
