ORDERS TO COLONEL VYKTOR KRATEK
GENERAL ARMIN METRAC, COMMANDER
SOUTHERN FORCES
The invasion goes well. As the Autarch predicted, years of peace have weakened the ISA's ability to fight. Collaborators in their midst only made our task easier, disabling the orbital defenses upon which the complacent Vektans relied for their protection.
Rayhoven has now fallen and senior ISA personnel have been taken prisoner. They hold secrets that could be crucial to the outcome of the war — as do those you have captured in Diortem. I rely on your unique talents to ensure their cooperation.
The Autarch is particularly eager for the results of Admiral Grey's interrogation. Her capture is a major blow to the enemy, but not one they will take lying down — you must reinforce your command center against any ISA counter-offensive. I am dispatching men and materiel to assist you in this.
The whole of Southern Vekta now lies within grasp of our forces. This makes control of Diortem all the more crucial — you must crush the last ISA resistance there!
Long live Visari!
— General Metrac
