SITUATION: Recently gathered intelligence indicate covert Sword
Worlds military activity in the Mithril system. Mithril is already
a Sword Worlds Confederation system. Why their military is interested
in this world when they are in the middle of prosecuting a war against
the Imperium has us greatly intrigued. Their reticence in being open
in their activity has us concerned.

A:
|
ENEMY FORCES: Elements of the Sacnoth Fleet may be encountered
anywhere along the rimward border of the Sword Worlds. Although
a small fleet equipped with mainly tech level 13 ships, it still
represents a sizeable naval asset. In addition, Sword Worlds
merchants may be operating with Letters of Marquis across the
border. Detailed despositions on enemy forces are not available
at this time, but it is possible to encounter either lone ships
or fleet elements.

|
B:
|
FRIENDLY FORCES: Imperial forces have been concentrated into
the 214th Fleet under the command of Admiral Româo. Some
Colonial elements have also been attached. These forces have
been deployed rimward and trailing of your operational area and
are unlikely to be available to render any assistance.
|
|
|
C:
|
NEUTRAL FORCES: Given the political situation within District
268, all local shipping should be considered neutral and will
not generally be considered viable targets.

earliest possible conveineance to travel to the Mithril system.
There to hide whilst allowing personnel to reach the main world

augmented by a small unit of troops, to be assigned from the
available troop units in the fleet.

EXECUTION: Specific planning and execution of the mission is
deferred to the commanding officers of INS Katana. In general the
transportation phases will be planned and executed under the
control of the ship's Captain, whilst planet based operations will
be the responsibility of the Mission Commander. The additional
troopers will answer directly to the Mission Commander. Standard
operating procedures apply, except in such circumstances as to be
at odds with the mission objective.
