Location: Skies above Jangala
Date: 0.06.15

The unknown force behind the incursions over the past several months now has a name: the Hegemony. Formerly of the Domain 14th Battlegroup, the Hegemony has begun to assert itself in the power vacuum left by the collapse of the gate network. In absence of contact with the greater Domain, we must begin to prepare ourself for the possibility that our isolation from the galaxy may be permanent.

This so called "Hegemony" has begun to emerge as the dominant power in this region of the Sector. They have annexed or otherwise conquered the neighboring systems of Corvus, Samarra, and Aztlan- though reports from independent traders indicate that Vahalla may have fallen as well. It would seem the thwarted incursion four months ago was a failed attempt to subsume the Rasht star system into this new political order.

Intelligence suggests that the forces of the Hegemony 14th Battlegroup have begun to reassemble near Jangala in the Corvus system. It is the opinion of the Mayor and her advisors that this new "Hegemony" may make a renewed push into the Rasht system, this time in far greater numbers. This cannot be allowed to happen. We do not have the forces to repel a full-scale assault, and must strike now before the enemy reaches full strength. Our contacts with the Tri-Tachyon Corporation indicate that they have engaged the Hegemony on multiple fronts- without the strategic reserve above Jangala, the Hegemony's rampant expansion through the Sector will be brought to a grinding halt.

You task is to ensure the complete and utter decimation of the Hegemony fleet above Jangala. Success here will ensure that our small mayorate retains its independence in the days to come. Put an end to this, Commander, for all of us.
