Tod5 op6 The Empire is Aggravated (replaces tod1 op6 Max13)

Having continually throttled the Empire's plans since appearing in this sector, we have been targeted for attack.  The Imperial planners must find a way to defeat the fighter dock concept in order to reverse their fortunes in this area.  We have already destroyed so many of their craft here that they will have to expose themselves somewhere to mass an attack.  

Fighter Dock 6 was choosen by the Imperium as the object of their attack because it and it's personnell have been so effective in driving back the Empire.  This was scheduled as a "revenge raid" according to intelligence, and was expected to have enough power to do the job.  

The satelites that used to stand off your front door have been moved after the last attempt by the Imperium, and so there is no threat to them at this time.  A shipment of war material is destined to arrive at your base sometime today also.  The transports Hawk and Dove have been travelling in hyperspace for some days to reach you so they can not be contacted at this time.  Hopefully they will not be present when the Empire arrives.  If they are, you must protect them.  You need resupply with the latest equipment on those transports. 

Illini production continues according to plan.  Their output is almost frightening.  It is a problem to train crews fast enough to man their transports and freighters, let alone the fighters and frigates they produce.  Although they are probably the best ground attack warriors in the galaxy, they have only recently begun to assemble space forces.  The Alliance has been helping them to build training facilities, but this all takes time.  Soon however, they will have trained and assembled enough of their own people to care for this system as well as people our cause and supply it.  Until then, we are still vulnerable here, although we are stronger than we have been before.
