INN -- The original Separatist strike force sent to destroy the Initiative has been fighting us on several fronts following the recent assassination of their commander, General Isenkirn. His expertise in commanding troops and planning operations was the biggest factor in determining the success of their operation. With his death, invading Separatist forces are left scattered and without lead. Low morale and lack of a sturdy supply line have taken a toll on their troops, with numerous incidents of desertion and hints of rebellion reported by our inside operatives.
Our military experts say that their defensive line is crumbling, and have anticipated a swift victory within the next one to two weeks. Due to several successful fleet operations on many Separatist strongholds, Initiative fleets forced most of their main force into surrender, leaving Separatist forces at limited strength. Today, the 1st Fleet secured a blockade around their final bastion on Verion, and ground forces are already deploying to isolate the remaining troops into complete surrender. We wish our military forces best of luck, and hope that they fight well and return safely.
