Executive Order 014: Storm Surge (33031002)
From the Office of President Alucard,Alpha Priority:
Yesterday on October 1, 3303, an enemy Anaconda attacked and disabled the RSS Majestic and her escorts. The ship was borded and firefights ensued in the gangways and access foyers. Thanks to the weapons and gear procured from the Ion Corporation, the Majestic’s security teams were able to repel the boarders. However, the Anaconda escaped.
Several members of the boarding party had background dealings with the government of LHS 2931. Also, their weapons and communication codes match those used by the government’s security forces and planetary guards. It’s almost as if the government isn’t even trying to bother to hide their true intentions.
Furthermore, we have received word that the construction of the RSS Olympic, the Titanic’s replacement, has been slowed extensively in the Higa System. They have stated, “It is hard to build a liner for the unfortunate Red Star Line with so many eyes. We have no intentions of being drawn into this conflict. Once the slow work of the Olympic is completed, she will be the last ship you receive from the Higa Shipyards until the conflict has been resolved.”
This Commanders is what our trusted allies of the Higa System have said. I respect their neutrality in this crisis. However, this conflict is casting a distasteful light on the Red Star Line. I worry that our civilian shipping line is becoming more militaristic in nature.
On that note, all commanders are to maintain protocols and provide the best service we can for our costumers. We must hold out and wait for the decree of the Alliance on this matter.
