<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf of the The Holdfast, we present this intelligence briefing to inform The Will of our state’s edification regarding our encounter/interaction details within and adjacent to our borders, annexes, territories, and subjugated worlds.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the Empire of the Sun Border:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Convoy Raid #2076</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Convoy operations along the Empire's border with the Holdfast continue to enjoy peaceful circumstance. Transportation of materials occur without incident. (Tholian Victory)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the Earth Federation Front Border:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Marine Rescue #2145</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Intelligence provided by these scurrilous Orion Cartels has again proven to be completely false. Ignoring our own surveillance apparatus' protestations, the military dispatched a heavy flotilla organized around the TWW Will of Tholia to
protect one such remote sensor outpost for naught. It is providential that the diversion of such a force had no further repercussions elsewhere along our borders. We now suspect that the Cartel's, or governmental agency employing them is engaged in a counter-intelligence
campaign, and we are analyzing ways to prevent misinformation from resulting in subsequent defensive failures. The Orion informant was subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and then released at the Holdfast's star port and permitted to walk back to his vessel.
The poor creature neglected to put on a protective suit and was subsequently incinerated. Its remains were returned to its crew. (Tholian Victory)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Morey Eel of Space #2147</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Task Force Tet observed the unfortunate demise of the EFF colony located in Sector 2147. The loan EFF vessel was unable to stop the monster from destroying the planet. (Tholian Victory)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the The Vibrant Venomous Vudar Border:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cargo Tug #2220</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our Vudar neighbors continue to operate closer to our borders. TWPD 011, acting as a recon asset for our own supply operation ins Sector 2221 monitored the activity before returning to its position along the border. (Vudar Victory)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cargo Tug #2221</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As mentioned in the previous entry, we were also successfully conducting supply operations along our own side of the border. (Tholian Victory)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the Office of Frontier Security Border:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Marine Rescue #2228</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Long range sensors monitored an OFS rescue operation near our border. We elected not to interfere with this mission of mercy. (OFS Victory)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Refit Raid #2229</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This One is pleased to report that the annual maintenance of our border auxiliary vessels has been completed without incident. (Tholian Victory)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the SPQR Border:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Terrain Defense with Ground Combat #2238</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This One is also pleased to inform the Will that our efforts to fully secure our mutual border with the SPQR has been successfully completed without further loss of life on either side. Additionally, this has allowed the Will to protect
secure routes to newly discovered resources in an asteroid system located in Sector 2238.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This concludes the current cycles report for The Indomitable Will of the Tholian Holdfast, its Annexes, Territories, and Subjugated Worlds. Dissemination of the report without prior authority and consent of The Will is punishable by apprehension,
trial, incarceration, and execution of all guilty parties, accomplices, and confederates. By compliance with these measures, The Will endures.</p>
