Let me repeat this once again: There is no reason to be concerned about the attacks on the eastern border stations. It is suspected that some pirate groups have seized the opportunity to exploit our recent defeat at Rodas, since the position got weakened.

A civilization that manages to surprise us to this extent should realize that it takes more than a suddenly appearing attack fleet to bring down the Star Empire

Commander, I will not allow statements regarding the involvement of the EED in this matter. The intelligence agency has nothing to do with it.
