Vice Admiral Treslar
New Republic Defense Fleet
Captain Paddox; the Director has forwarded your message to Admiral Ackbar along with an intelligence briefing on the Lucian Alliance. The Admiral asked me to relay to you an authorization to pursue the pirate forces into the Thanium Sector, and his best of luck in doing so. Take the Krakana with you, but leave the Guarlara stationed at Endor; we must be prepared for a possible followup strike if this retreat to Rhen Var is a feint. General Rayl'skar and the Captain of the Guarlara will assume this task at Endor, and the Krakana will report to them when your operation has concluded.
We've made contact with our listening post on Rhen Var. It has powered itself down to avoid detection, but I'm forwarding to you its coordinates. The staff is evacuating to its lower levels in light of the Endor incident, but do try to prevent damage to the installation insofar as you're able. When you've completed your pursuit, take a half hour to check on Draukyze, also in the Thanium Sector, before you return to Endor. It was attacked some years ago in a similar incident, and the Chief of State's office has asked that we reassure its safety.
Good luck, Captain. The fleet at Sullust has been placed on alert. Let us hope we won't need them.
