[color=#C0C0C0] Sous Lieutenant Cassel, Reporting.
The recent increase in smuggler activity to Bretonia has brought me to our forces station in Orkney. My visit proved useful as other officers present required my assistance. Two Gallic Junkers had been detained by vessels marked "MDR" . The charges against them included Section 4 (Terrorism) and Section 5 (Respect) under the Gallic Royal Charter. The two Gallic Junkers were transporting Industrial Materials through Languedoc when the leading transport vessel disabled the lanes on the monitoring MDR fighters. As these fighters were marked with Gallic Royal Navy signatures and identification they were subject to the authority awarded to them by the Gallic Royal Charter. They reported to me the leading transport had evaded their capture initially while the captain of the second transport denounced them as royal officers. My intervention allowed me to gather more information on this matter. I do not know where these Gallic Junkers were headed or what their intentions were therefore I left the MDR vessels to handle the situation. As disabling the lanes and showing disrespect to officers representing the Crown's authority my conclusion is they were guilty.
After departing from the MDR forces I proceeded to monitor traffic near Fort Albi. Progress had been made when a Freelancer flying a Spatial fighter attempted to evade my scanners. Some how he managed to capture Marines loyal to the Crown. He refused my orders to release them to my custody and open fired immediately after my demands. I'm proud to say his vessel was destroy with ease. The Marines were quickly recovered before the ship's core exploded killing the criminal pilot. Fort Albi directed the captured Marines to its medical center for further evaluation. They could not recall their captives or how they were captured in the first place. These junior Marines will be safe for now and will soon return to their duty station.
Once my ship had been rearmed and repaired I ventured out to Tau-31 in search of battleship Carcassonne.
I had been intercepted before regrouping with the Carcassone. Steve Holloway a Mandalorian Mercenary .presented himself from the shadows of the ice field. He had been accompanied by another individual whose name I did not record. Steve continued to engage me presenting a light challenge to my Cougar. While his shields were removed easily he fled before any further damage could be implemented. As his partner inched closer I withdrew to a more defensive ground. Finally I reached Carcassone where I am present getting much needed recovery time.
