MESSAGE TO ALL ARC BATTERY COMMANDERS
COLONEL MAEL RADEC,
CHIEF OF DEFENSE FORCES
The arc batteries have performed well. The first wave of ISA cruisers has been destroyed and the rest of their fleet is pinned in outer orbit.
As the Autarch predicted, the ISA's professed mission to blockade Helghan trade was a flimsy cover for all-out invasion. The Vektans mean to topple the Emperor and seize the wealth of our planet for themselves, even if it means defying their Earth masters.
But we were not idle the past two years. While the invaders built their armada, we developed these defenses, the like of which they have never seen.
High Command has placed their faith in you and declined requests to reinforce the cruisers stationed over the city. But they have placed the fleet at Constantine on standby. I am assured their time to serve will come.
Remain vigilant and we will prevail.
Hail Visari!
— Colonel Radec
