In transit for Shula. Made a point of using the king’s yacht for this journey. As expected the nobles kicked up a stink, formed a blasted posse. There was even talk by some that they'd use their personal militias to blockade the port against us. Didn't materialise.
Yesterday's press was predictably anti-empire, kicked into a frenzy by the nobles. That kind of talk this close to the front isn't good. I had Monkton give a few prompts to the propaganda unit. I suggested they play on the idea that the aristocracy were guarding their ships so they could run away when the Ursidae come and leave the populace to die. Won't hurt to put those stuck-up idiots in their place.
Note: Send word to General Burlinski, Havakurl, to run his eye over those militias for possible conscription.
Reports from Faslane came in last night. Two weeks old, they didn't have any comms-boats with long legs. Two weeks! Ursidae are keeping pressure up with raids. Not so much action at Betria.
Note: Have Monkton ensure Faslane gets at least three of the jump-4 comms-boats. they'll be able to reach Shula in a week instead of two.
Monkon's worrying about Faslane. He's right. The ship yards there are a rich target for the bears. The pressure there might be part of a softening up exercise. I'm not convinced. The yards are a good target but not critical, they're not building anything big. Could be a distraction. They might be trying to draw us forward before jumping behind.
Note: Get intel/analysis to cover the raids on Faslane, is it indiscriminate destruction, or targeted. What are they not attacking?
Note: Look up scout reports for 0508-0510.
The King lambasted me for being "defensive". He was angry about his yacht, but he has got me thinking. If we mount something a little larger than a raid, we can maybe pull the pressure of Faslane. Brendelane and Karlyn have my attention, both within reach of jump-2 ships. Maybe two raids?
Note: Target Analysis on Karlyn and Brendelane.
