In a short statement earlier today Fleet Planner Shosho Kawazoe Sekai - speaking on behalf of Taisho Aurore Branard who was unavailable for comment - announced the 3rd Expeditionary Fleet's return to active status after rebuilding from the great losses it sustained during the failed retaking of Valaad.
While outlining the changes to the Fleet's line-up - including the creation of a new Task Force dedicated to protecting the trade lanes in the Empire's north-east - Shosho Kawazoe expressed her gratitude towards the 5th Expeditionary Fleet's selfless offer of assistance, stating that the ships they sent helped the 3rd XF to rebuild as to a level where it could be of use, rather than as just being a skeleton fleet.
Before leaving the conference the Shosho indicated that there was much that still remained to be done, however, and that in time the 3rd Expeditionary Fleet would become stronger than ever for all its trials.
