Greetings my Lords,
Today the Protreptic engaged two [CR] vessels on our own initiative. We deemed the fact that they were lawfuls and the Planetform tags enough of a reason.
[CR]Apollo and [CR]Artemis (who were both flying Vipers) were heading down through Leeds into New London, so we pursued. The Artemis was destroyed docking with Southampton Shipyard in a futile attempt to evade us. [CR]Apollo watched this and then ran, taking the trade lane to Kensington.
The Protreptic followed, however, by the time we got to Kensington, the Apollo had dissappeared. We then went to the Cambridge jumpgate, and then to New London, but he wasnt to be found. after taunting us on our long-range comms link, the Apollo responded and we had a rather open discussion about the diplomatic stance between our factions.
These Colonial Remnants seem to be very good at running, but I have yet to see their mettle in combat. Apologies for any mistakes made in the 'engagement'.
