Fighting, tactics & logistics

The escorts concentrate around the slowest transports instead of chasing the raiders. Several cargoes are damaged, but the convoy reaches shelter. Kelonese commanders learn that predictable stragglers offer better targets than the escort center.

A shipment’s paper trail

  1. 01

    Allocate

    Assign cargo to a destination and priority.

  2. 02

    Dispatch

    Record what leaves the loading point.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Transport and security personnel bring the load to the receiving unit.

  4. 04

    Reconcile

    Receiving signatures and inventory records establish what actually arrived.

A dispatch report and a delivery report answer different questions. Confusing them can make a headquarters believe a unit is supplied when its cargo is delayed or missing. The source gives logistical specialists responsibilities that include documentation, allocation and accountability; those duties explain why the convoy is an administrative system as well as a group of vehicles.

Civilian consequences

Merchant survivors face prolonged recovery and uncertainty over pay for lost voyages.

Outcome & wider significance

Kelonese commanders learn that predictable stragglers offer better targets than the escort center.
