Addendum 3: Operation Storm-Door [CLASSIFIED]

Following the failure of the Onderon Peace Summit due to the withdrawal of Republic delegates in the wake of an Attack on Coruscant, the perpetrator of which was swiftly identified as Admiral Dua Ningo, the galaxy has been spurred once more towards the flames of war.

The drumbeat of propaganda has only amplified on both sides, drowning out any hopes of reconciliation with unrelenting fervour. Moderation and reason have become perishingly rare among our political bodies. Citizen war support has exploded in both the Core Worlds and Outer Rim, as innumerous swathes of volunteers flood conscription centres galaxy-wide. With the Republic’s military industry slated to continue expanding, the Confederacy of Independent Systems must regard the unshakable truth; our final victory is only becoming less certain.

While the Confederacy may have enjoyed a large materiel advantage over the Republic in the first year of the war, difference is now closing swiftly, and the Raxus Government is marching towards bankruptcy. While we do not know the exact conditions of the Grand Army of the Republic, the GAR have nonetheless made no action to disguise the mobilisation of their reserve armies.

Direct your attention to the display above. Naval Intelligence indicates the mobilisation of three reserve armies; the 2nd Sector Army, 3rd Sector Army, and 4th Sector Army.

According to our projections, in which we have full confidence, the GAR 2nd Reserve Armada is bound for the Mechis System, ostensibly to support the 20th Sector Army’s existing efforts in the region. Meanwhile, the GAR 3rd Reserve Armada has been observed transiting the Perlemian Trade Route, towards Lantillies. It is our confidence that the GAR intends on reinforcing the deficit of troops in the region in the wake of Operation Trident. Lastly, the GAR 4th Reserve Armada has departed Alderaan and is bound for Gyndine, where we predict they intend on countering our counteroffensive on the Nanth’ri Route. At the same time, our agents in the Bilbringi Shipyards report the activation of the GAR 7th Northern Armada, last seen headed north to Ord Mantell.

In consideration of these new discoveries, the Confederate Armed Forces must take drastic action, lest the continuation of warfare eventually become untenable. Our intelligence efforts have already produced results; we have hard and presentable evidence that the GAR is planning two independent offensives in the Northern and Southern Theatres in an effort to seize key commercial sectors of the Confederacy.

To this end, we propose Operation Storm-Door. We will mobilise every last of our operational military assets and advance on every possible front.
