::::::This Report is for your eyes only::::::

Admiral,the war is not going well for us here in the Pentarus sector. we lose more and more ships everyday,the Federation encroaches on our space closer each day,Initial reports indicate that they will be within striking distance in a matter of months.To tell you the truth we probably would have lived a whole lot longer having stayed put. Yes,I know but then we never would have been free.At last count as of stardate 253906.3,Our fleet was down to 42 vessels total,That's hard to believe considering we entered into this war withover 300 ships, But the worst part is the shortages of capable crews.I am now conversing with several possible candidates for placement within the ranks.I just hope it will be enough.

I remember the greatest thing you ever taught me. Freedom cannot be given.......but at times it must be taken. Yours truly Captain Joshua Harker Commanding officer USS Avenger
