This is Boris-One to Eagle base. Yesterday Priozersk with the second brigade under my command (callsign of unit is Boris team), together with battlecruiser Coalition with the first brigade group under the command of comrade Akimnov himself (callsign of unit is Ivan team, including cruiser Rassvet under callsign Ivan-Four), as well as not assigned to any unit cruiser Vltava under the command of comrade Zyma (callsign Shuka-1), cruiser "Varyag" under the command of current battlegroup subcommander comrade Fomin (callsign Pituh-1) and units from other Coalition departments entered furious battle against Imperialists forces in Omega-49.
Our intel reported, that Stirling battlegroup located in Omega-Four-Nine is one of the weakest battlegroups in the whole Bretonian fleet. After some discussions it was decided, that it's better to strike it before the enemy will reinforce their positions in the system and return the battlegroup into more or less combatable state.
Upon gathering in New Moscow, we checked the stability of all systems the last time, as clearly we wouldn't have a chance to do it later and unfortunately some of our comrades wouldn't need to do it.
As soon as we entered the system, we took position in front of jumphole to New Moscow, before waiting for the rest of the forces. After their arrival we formed a formation and headed towards the point Delta-Beta-Two in order to clear it. Upon arrival the theater, we've spotted all market targets (the Stirling and two battlecruiser class ships escorting it) as well as we could see a large enemy fleet, approaching it. Probably they expected, that we would attack the marked targets without caring about them, but we quickly turned our guns against approaching bretonians, catching them by surprise. They were badly positioned and without anything resembling organization, so we quickly managed to clear them all twice, before proceeding to main targets. Priozersk has managed to put final strike to one of their ships:
[04.01.2020 19:16:27] Death: BAF|A-HMS-Temeraire was put out of action by TSB|Priozersk (Gun).
After dealing with bretonian relief forces, we returned to our main targets. Despite attempts of the enemy to interrupt sieging fleet, due to self-sacrifice of one of comrades, who drawed enemy fire, while flying away, as well as our repair crews we have managed to accomplish our goal.
The Stirling battlegroup has been burnt into the ashes. Congratulations to everyone, but we should also remember the ones, who didn't make it out alive. I could write a long speech about how we didn't have another choice, that it was the call of duty we had to answer and other inspiring things, but I'm not fan of it. Me and my crew tomorrow will hold the minute of silence as well as we will play the Coalition anthem in the honor of those who fell in Omega-Four-Nine. Their sacrifice won't be forgotten.
Of course, you are welcome to join us.
I also suggest to high command of the Spire Battlegroup to make a little parade in their honor, of course with the approval from the Commissariat.
While mothers mour for fallen sons, while comrades celebrate the victory, there is one more little matter I would like to brought to your attention. Comrade Zyma, commanding officer of the cruiser Vltava, performed outstandingly during the battle, but at the same time she showed some unprofessional attitude. I can't really blame her, it was a tough, tense and stressful fight, but comrade, leave mocking and provocations for braindead rogues. You are a perfect killing machine, not a barking dog. I ask the high command to not bring this accident to attention of Commissariat and don't bring any sanctions against comrade Zyma, as she is a young officer without large combat experience, who apparently got carried away during such intense fight, but I hope that she will listen to my words.
Though if I give it another thought I might say, that she needs to be punished... With promotion for her outstanding performance you could see yourself yesterday.
