[ WP ] War has been raging for years upon years now . You are a reporter embedded in a famous military unit among your newest allies in this war , humanity .

`` Centauri News Conglomerate is broadcasting live from the MDU's most decorated commander's ship, the Endurance. We will be making contact with the Gaddian main fleet at any moment. Commander Alexandr, what should viewers expect to see in the next few minutes?'' 
 
 *The Commander waves to his adjunct whilst continuing to inspect VIDAR screens and issue terse commands. The adjunct steps into the foreground. * 
 
 `` This will be a historic day in the Nuebarr-Gad conflict; we will intercept their main fleet during its attempted jump to sector 2B, catching them completely unprepared and striking a decisive -- --''. 
 
 `` Multiple detonations off the port side!'' **'' Damage control to corridor Monsoon'' ** 
 
 *The audio feed is saturated by the sound of alarms and tortured metal, while the video feed shows sluggish MDU cruisers being picked off one by one by the nimble Gaddian torpodeo ships, their engines disabled, allowing them to be hit by the enemy battleship's barrages. The heavily armoured MDU ships take a long time to go down. * 
 
 `` Sir, we are detecting no other MDU lifesigns, we are the only ones left!'' 
 
 `` You can activate the hyperdrive now, it has been long enough'' 
 
 *Once the Endurance is safely in hyperspace, the sullen reporter advances on Commander Alexandr and starts an emotionally charged rant: * 
 
 `` We were promised hundreds of ships, and a swift victory, what are you doing? You promised us your ships could not be touched by Gad weaponry, that their ordinance was swift and deadly. This defeat leaves the route to our homesystem -- -'' 
 
 *Alexandr roughly shoves the tiny Nuebarrian reporter to one side, and stoops menancingly to address the camera, a malevolent smirk creeping across his face. * 
 
 `` Those were not our *ships*''

 From the Nuebarrian homeplanet, in the middle of the day, two bright flashes could be seen: first, one close to sector 2B, followed an hour later by one in the Gad controlled sector designated `` Tartarus''.

 `` This reporter is pleased to announce that the main enemy fleet will be stuck near sector 2B for at least 2 more days. During that time, our MDU allies will strike at production centres and supply routes left vulnerable. The tide of war has turned, thanks to Centauri News Conglomerate playing a key counter-intelligence role, and our MDU allies taking advantage of the enemy's confusion.''
