Another patrol today, under the command of Commodore Charles Davis. Our route took us from New London to Manchester, and then the way back to Leeds. Nothing out of the ordinary until we reached Stokes mining station, spotting two civilian transports - one identified as a Zoner - headed through to Tau-31. We followed and made our intercept attempt, ordering the vessels to cut their engines. However, they kept going and made it through the jump gate.

I regret to report that during this incident, I lost my temper and warned the vessels that they would be fired upon, in addition to calling them "morons" as I repeated the fact that Tau-31 is off limits. Commodore Davis told me off for this, and I have made it clear that I will amend my policies in the future.

Nothing else to report.

Ensign Arland signing off.

Good Evening to all of you.
Once more a small report written by myselfe.
As I left the dockingring of New London the first thing that got on my screen was a message that a Valor of the GRN was near planet Leeds. I got there as fast as I could and saw that the situation was under control as two Bombers and one Heavy Figher of us hammerd the Battleship.
Lt. Johnson was running low on Nova Torpedos and since I didn't engage the Gallian yet he ordered me to make some resupply runs.
The Battle didn't last long and exept for the Valor no other ship blew up in the fight.

Here is the Guncam of the kill:

That is all at for the moment.
Save skies to you.

----REPORT #12992---SENDER ID: ENSIGN A.FOLEY---

My first day in the Air Force was not an easy one, but it was surely learnfull !
Waiting for some funds from BAF a copper picked me up on his scanner. The ID-plugin on my main computer told me the policeman went by the name of Shawn Frankson.
The man was willingly to lend me come cash, so I could get rid of the rusty CSV I was flying. (I got that one when I started the academy). I quickly rushed over to the Battle Ship Suffolk, where they appeared to have one Paladin heavy fighter that was never picked up by the pilot who ordered it. I bargained for a good price and equipped it with some Splitter gunns.

Shawn really seemed to be in a good mood, since he agreed to go on patrol with me. Even when my first mission orders came in, he stayed as my wingman.

All in all he made sure I stayed alive on my first day.
One of many impressing people I will encounter while serving her Majesty I'm sure...

Good Afternoon Officers,

Within this hour I was completing a patrol of the Leeds system. Having already completed patrol through Dublin and New London I was in high spirits for Leeds to follow a similar suit. This was to my luck not to be the case.

As I was returning to Planet Leeds from the New London system I became aware of a corsair signature on my scanners, towards the lane leading to the Newcastle jump gate. This of course perked my interest and I moved off to investigate. The corsair in question clearly didn't take this as a good sign and attempted to flee towards the jump gate. Determined not to let the coward get away I followed after him.


To my surprise the corsair did not take the lane fully to the jump gate, but instead jumped off about half way down the lane and from there attempted to flee once more, in the direction of stokes. In response I to dropped from the lane and followed to his intended course which appeared to be back to the lanes connecting Stokes and Planet Leeds.

Although he would have considered himself lucky to have been able to reach the lane before me this moment of satisfaction was short lived as I managed the cut the lane the instant before he jumped. I then asked the pilot to manoeuvre his ship away from the lane, in case he should attempt to escape. The pilot did so and a brief conversation ensued.


In this conversation I attempted to convince the corsair to surrender and have his living pod taken to a nearby prison station. Clearly over estimating his luck in the matter the corsair refused and a fire fight ensued.


The fight itself lasted a fair bit, although the course of the battle remained unchanged. The corsair appeared to show a bit more courage in the last stench of the fight, having only attempted to run once. Regardless in the end the corsair pilot was shown his place when his ship was finally torn apart, and his pod (if somewhat battered) was taken to the Armed Forces compound on Leeds for interrogation.


After this event my patrol duty was at a close so I made my return to Planet Leeds where I handed over the corsair and began the write up to this report.

G'day *Salutes*

Today I have lauched from Battleship Essex, instantly after undocking I got emergency message about corsairs atack in Leeds.

I joined our fighting forces as fast I could, but situation seemed be under control.
Worth of adding is that we got help of one molly at least I saw it this way,
soon after one of Jokerz gang ships join in to help Molly fight with corsairs,
after saving that Molly Jokerz ship left.
Death: Matador[TBH] was killed by [M]-Connor.Logan (Gun) - sair scored by them

There were also 2 or 3 (I'm not sure) Bounty Hunters Guild ships helping in fight.
Soon we menaged to shoot out few sairs pilots:
Death: [CC]Tristeza was killed by an NPC
Death: Andre,,|Sails was killed by Earl.Catharty (Gun)
Death: [CC]Steve_Ximanez killed himself (Mine)

After some time corsair cruiser came, we engaged it with all force we had.
Soon after engage corsair cruiser we got unexpected help from two Maquis pilots in something what looked like bombers, they were using |CoM tag to identificate themselves.
We menaged to destroy that cruiser:
Death: ShaulysMato was killed by an NPC

After destroing it, another corsairs came, we disengaged to avoid unneeded casualties as we were weakened by fighting with cruiser.

All our remaining forces menaged to reach safe destinations, myself and Lt Kerr landed on planet Leeds to take rest and repair our ships.

I dont have any guncam shots because my camera is broken, need to replace that one.
But Lt Kerr menaged to get few good guncam shoots, I believe He will send those here.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a rather upbeat report for you today. Almost immediately when I launched from planet Leeds today, I joined Leftenant Henry Moore as he reported a Gaul presence in Leeds. Not far from the planet proper, we detected the offender - a lone battleship. Flying fighters, there was little we could do against such an opponent. We took the only logical course of action. I stood by with cruise disruptors as the LT called for backup and went to dock and acquire a bomber instead for the upcoming fight, whilst the battleship moved into position for planetary bombardment and I was forced to play a rousing match of "Dodge the long range torpedoes with a frog making attempts at taunting."

The RNS "La Marseillaise" moving into bombardment position.

However, once backup arrived, there was no longer time for fun and games - the HMS Redoubt arrived and engaged without further ado, hammering away at the hostile battleship's shields and taking surprisingly little fire in return, practically flying circles around her bigger opponent. What I did not expect was the intervention of a non-armed forces affiliated capital ship, the HMS Bruno. Leftenant Moore also returned with bomber support at around this point.

As you can plainly see, the Bruno engaged at far closer range than is recommended - resulting in higher-yield weapons being off the table in fear of friendly fire.

The Bruno was shortly thereafter destroyed.

However, in the process of this engagement, the enemy battleship had taken sufficient damage for the Redoubt to neutralize on her own - waving off further independent and bomber support.

The "La Marseillaise"'s imminent destruction.

The enemy capital ship was destroyed with little further fanfare.

Good day.

Ensign Arland out.
