Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2404.8:

The mineral shipments from Gesaril VIII have alleviated our supply situation somewhat, but other measures are necessary. Future colonizer production has been put on hold in the Gesaril and Berlin systems until we increase our metals production. Industrial development on Gandle Ott IV has been halted; we will raise ground forces on that planet this tenth and the next. We are still consuming more than we produce, but now our stores will Last until the Klozar production comes on-line.

Our plants can now manufacture an improved laser cannon design; we will outfit our fleet with them at the first opportunity. Our tech teams are now attempting to improve ship reactors.

Black Sword III has left Gesaril and is currently in the Rela system. Our atrategists are anxious to see how the new TIE bombers perform in combat, but by the time they join the fleet I believe matters will already have been decided in the Aram system. One way or the other.
