Greetings,
For those of you who were unaware, the fleet recently engaged in action against the Azedi Confederacy. As a result of this, command has new orders for us to engage in research and development opportunities to utilize our resources to the best of our ability, to minimize casualties and damage and to defend ourselves to the utmost in the future.
The top priority of the Science and Engineering departments is to discover a way to close two subspace tears in the Dartius system. Currently, they are affecting subspace communications and FTL capabilities. In order to preserve the safety of that sector for ships passing through, we must discover, test, then implement a method for closing these tears as soon as possible.
In addition, I want a combined Science and Engineering team to research and develop a point-defense against a new Azedi mine. Coordinate with Commander Austin in regards to gaining the research needed on these mines, he can release specific reports or portions of reports to the team. This point-defense should be mountable on starships. Several mines were recovered from New Circini and can be made available for study.
A second team must be made available in order to analyze the Azedi's ships' hulls. They are notoriously thick and difficult to penetrate, and we need to develop weaponry with which we can penetrate their hull. A viable option is penetration, followed by more standard weaponry. A wing of a ship has been recovered for study and I will run point on releasing reports or portions of reports as needed to the team.
Commander Sakhet--you will be working with Commander Austin in order to reach our peak ability in tactics. The threat of an Azedi attack looms greater than before and I believe that between the two of you, you can appropriate utilize our resources. This will familiarize Commander Austin with current practices and give him the opportunity to introduce a new, outsider's perspective into how we do things.
This is a lot to dump into your laps, everyone. Command's largest concern is history repeating itself. Our contribution is to develop the means to outfit a mobile force as efficiently as possible, in order to prevent the station from being threatened in the future. Any suggestions can be made as needed. We have the warning time, this time. Let's make the most of it.
