Addressed To; Office of the IAFS Board of Directors Delivered From; Office of Vice-Admiral Louise CC; n/a Date; 10/01/TA425 Classification; Commander Authority & Above Subject Matter; On The Results of Operation Deadlight

Ahead of a full report to be delivered in the coming hours, this memo is to serve as primary notification of the battle today between the Tristain Flotilla and the enemy Troy Class vessel 'Curadh'.

As per orders the Tristain Flotilla engaged in a deceive battle, the fourth official action of the on-going Operation Deadlight - The battle ended in victory for the present IAFS forces.

The Curadh took severe damage to its engines, all main armaments, both its flight decks and large amounts of its general superstructure - Although the ship did manage to withdrawn to the safety of a nearby TSU-patrol fleet, we believe the enemy submarine took sufficient damage that in order for it to be a threat again, it would require weeks, if not months of repair work and cost significant resources.

Similarly the other target of Operation Deadlight, thee experimental G-Type Casnel was heavily disabled - We can confirm that its shield system was entirely broken, its frontal armour stripped away and that it took the full force of a Hindenburg reactor explosion at point blank range.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

That said, eyewitness reports claim to have seen the utterly blackened surfaces of the Casnel retreating with the aid of two Vijaik Specials - At present therefore we cannot actually confirm whether the explosion of the MBT-Mk2 actually destroyed the enemy or its pilot - A testament to the remarkable survivability of Casnels.

Nonetheless the damage this Casnel took is undeniable, even if we can't confirm the status of it and the pilot - We can safely say that like its mothership, the Casnel could take months to repair and a drastic amount of replacement Goibniu - We have Lt.Commander Emelia Von Sheen's team to thank for this, though she herself could not be present on this occasion, four of her subordinates using the Neo-C model and one with an MBT-Mk2 (Inquiry into its presents is on-going) succeeded in effectively disabling the enemy Casnel, as well as additionally killing their field commander, Major Donald Moncha - Vijaik Knight.

All this in mind I wish to declare Operation Deadlight a success and henceforth suspend its activities - We should now move the Tristain Flotilla back into the IAFS home-fleet under my direct command in preparation of our assault on the new TSU-s weapon in the coming months.

I will await further discussion on this from the board at your earliest convenience,

Best Regards,

Vice-Admiral Louise.
