SRPA Intelligence Memorandum 19


 * Subject: Liberty Defense Perimeter Falls


 * 1-Jun-53


 * At 0530 hours on May 28th, the Chimera launched an all out assault on the southern
 * border of the Liberty Defense Perimeter. By 0640 the ships had breached the
 * perimeter. Estimated casualties from the assault are in excess of 63 million. The fleet
 * blanketed the protection camps with both crawlers and spinner pods, infecting the
 * majority of the civilian population within hours. The Chimera began using carriers to
 * transport many of the infected victims to conversion centers in gray territory.


 * We estimated there are currently seven million survivors scattered across the country.
 * Over two million of them are located in the Baton Rouge protection camp, which
 * survived the aerial assault. We are continuing to relocate survivors to Baton Rouge via
 * convoy. Military personnel and all remaining mobile artillery have been assigned to
 * protect Baton Rouge. Fortunately, the fleet has largely ceased its attack since the
 * assault on the perimeter. The ships are now hovering above the towers across the
 * country. Analysts believe they may be awaiting orders from Daedalus before executing
 * the next phase of their plan.
