I hope this message finds you well, Commander. I'm writing to you on behalf of Admiral Po regarding a transfer opportunity. Admiral Po's flagship, the GTD Intrepid, is gearing up for operations in the Antares system. As a key battleground in both the Terran-Vasudan War and the Shivan Incursion, Antares is a deeply troubled system, and civil unrest is high. Order, such as it is, is maintained by a small system militia and an extensive network of private security contractors. Trust in established authorities is low, and there have been several incidents of potential terrorist activity against Allied representatives. Many criminal groups operate openly, and it is widely believed that some of them have ties to the Antarian political establishment. Whether or not these rumors are true, they are widely believed. This is a politically sensitive mission as well. Antares is home to one of the few truly mixed-species populations in Allied space, and the situation has started to strain Terran-Vasudan relations.

The Intrepid's battlegroup is being deployed to restore the rule of law in Antares, and Admiral Po wants you for his Order of Battle. Should you accept, you'll lead the 47th Cutthroats, a multi-role squadron which acts as the Intrepid's rapid-response team. The Intrepid's fighter operations are overseen by Commander Rai, with me acting as a liaison. The Intrepid's battlegroup also hosts a covert ops detachment under Vice Admiral Tighe. The Alliance has a long way to go to rebuild trust in systems like Antares, and these officers and myself agree you'll be a good fit for the job.

Your prior service with Galactic Terran Intelligence is not expected to be an issue. While the insurrection within GTI had widespread support, you and your unit displayed conspicuous loyalty and courage under fire. In light of your exemplary service record, especially in operations against the rebel flagship Hades, Admiral Po is prepared to fast-track your reinstatement to active duty. Due to the ongoing investigation against former GTI personnel, I cannot compel you to return to active status - but I suspect you won't need much convincing.
