It was just another week, in which, i spent most of my time solving crossword puzzles. And it's better that way. But there werem of coursem attempts of wicked and evil people to spoil my day.
First case happened on Friday, when a pair of Corsairs tried to seek some food in Bretonia. It was a big fight, including big ships, like destroyers and gunboats. Our forces numbered 2 bombers, 1 Templar and 1 Destroyer. Corsairs brought a gunboat, 2 Preatorians and 2 Titans.
After a long battle, my lads were forced to eject, and i found myself face to face with Handro DeReina, a Corsair with a bad reputation and a nasty temper. It was... Very scary expirience... I'd describe it like playing with matches in a gas storage... But I managed to chase him away, back to the hole he crawled out of. And once more Corsairs stayed hungry.


But, that wasn't the only Corsair attempt that day. Corsair ship named DirectXxX, a cruiser, tried to avenge his fallen amigos. His intentions failed, and we had one scumbag less to wirry about.


Saturday was very... Bloody. The minister, while visiting troops deployed at Dundee, was ambused by a KNF patrol. SoS was received while having a diner, and help organized quickly. KNF wasted time trying to capture the minister, when our ships jumped in. The losses on the KNF side were total, not a single one survived. Minister, still in shock, returned to planet Leeds.



Special suplement: Weapons smuggler named LosCorruptos was captured trying to smuggle weapons to his buddys at Crete. His ship was lost in the Cambridge system, so I can not brag with baging his head.

Suplement 2: While writing this report, I spotted a... Hessian... In Cambridge. After a long chase, I finnaly cought up with him at Sarum, and managed to send him back to Rheinland.


Suplement 3: WISE ships again cought in Counterfeit Software smuggling. They were cought and punished.

Transmission reads:
Awful long time since I did any real paperwork, what? I suppose my recent bout of sick leave may have had something to do with that. Well, not much to report, really, you know, the usual scuffles with Mollys, Kusari flexing its muscles (not that they really have much in the way of musculature...all that sushi and dogmeat's bad for the constitution), and the odd hippy spouting environmental nonsence while flying around, burning H-fuel (hah, hypocrites), not to mention the odd...misguided...soul trying to supply the Kusari war machine, or poison the populace of our allies. Still, one or two things of note have happened.

First off, an Outcast Destroyer escorting a load of that poison they call "drugs" through Leeds. Well, when he refused to turn around, we felt compelled to introduce him to the finer points of antimatter. I am sure our allies will respect the necessity of this action, especially considering the target in question was firing on our chaps, too.

Also, on a routine patrol through New London, I encountered a Bretonian Destroyer by the Suffolk. This chap was broadcasting as "ASF-Executioner" or somesuch. I assisted him in aquiring the correct identification papers to mark him as one of ours, however, I was unable to aquire any more intel on this "ASF", as, at that point, he claimed his commander needed to speak with him. Perusing our ship logs after the incident, I can find no mention of any such vessel. I reccomend that this matter be looked into, and the motives of this "ASF" be determined, as one of our destroyers floating around, uncontrolled, may be bad for publicity, what?

Well, now that I'm back in action, and, especially with my recent promotion, I hope I can give our numerous and darstadly enemies a good drubbing.

For The Crown.

Today, during my patrol to New London the terrorist (thinking it used a network jumpholes as any patrol near jumpgates has not found out it) has broken Molly. It extended ideas Molly, breaking calmness New London. After short meeting its searches have begun, in them as participated Libby (Bretonia GB, BAF ID) and [Phoenix]Jabor[F] (Taiidan Bomber, Freelancer ID). Soon the pirate himself has found us near shipyards of Southampton. He accused the Queen of greed and insidiousness, suggested us to come over to the side Molly. Certainly all could not listen to it, and I have threatened it with destruction if it immediately is not cleaned from Bretonia, he has answered it only with laughter. Fight was fastened (mine Templar VHF against Greyhoude), the opponent fought well, but having made a slip has got under the explosion of a mine, having received serious damages of the case of the ship it has hastened to disengage, not up to the end having used the n\n. Pursue I it could not, as it has found shelter on Molly Destroyer. After that calmness New London was not by whom is broken. Watch is finished.

From: Lt. Blake Owen

I have had a short but exciting patrol in New London and Leeds. First, I went into Leeds to find a Gaian spewing propaganda to the local populace. I confronted him and tried to get him to leave peacefully, but he seemed insistent on dying for planet Gaia. Despite the fact he could have outmaneuvered me in his Eagle, he chose to joust with his missiles, and paid the price.

[attachmentid=5450]

Unfortunately for me, he called in two Corsairs friends who arrived shortly after I defeated the Gaian. Doing what was typical of the uncivilized pirates, they engaged together and chased my damaged fighter back to Leeds where I was forced to make a crash landing on the planet.


The following day, I was called to New London to fight a wing of ten SCRA fighters. By the time I arrived, only myself, another BAF pilot, and a White Tiger where left. Myself and the other fighter elected to retreat, while the Tiger insisted on fighting to the death, which he did. Of course, the SCRA did little real damage, only wanting to make themselves look good on camera by attacking us with overwhelming numbers. They retreated out of Bretonia shortly after the skirmish.

Report from the HMS-Steadfast
Commander Graham Harper
-----------------------------------

I must report that the last two days have been ones of great gain followed by great loss.
First of all, yesterday the Steadfast intercepted a corsair flying a Pirate Cruiser through Dublin to New London. Now, under most circumstances I would have engaged at once, but this particular corsair was clearly a gibbering moron. He told me openly on system comms that he was flying towards Kusari, then was astounded when he found me blocking the Leeds Jump Gate, wondering how I knew where he was going. After questioning his complete gaga mentality was soon uncovered. He claimed he wished to "Trade" and was most surprised to learn that corsairs were usually kill on sight in Bretonia. In the end he agreed to be escorted to the Tau border, where he promised to fly to Kusari and kill all the KNF. This, I considered, would be to our advantage, dispite being madness coming from a Corsair. For good measure, to ensure that no supplies would reach the Kusari, I confiscated all his weapons and equipment, which included 4 code weapons and 2 nomad energy blasters which were happily added to the armoury.

Then, however, I must describe the disaster that occured afterwards. Seeing that the armoury was short of vital supplies, I ordered a supply run to Gran Canaria, which was sucessful. Also, I cunningly arranged to have 3 supernova antimatter cannons bought from Arranmore by a Red Hessian, after pretending to accidentally send him the credits, and then he was intercepted and the weapons were seized by the Steadfast, and returned to New London. Unable to transfer them to the Armoury on my own, however, I had the 3 supernovas remain on the Steadfast until this afternoon, when seeing several friendly ships in New London I decided to undock the Steadfast and try to transfer them.

The instant the Steadfast arrived in space, however, I was suddenly attacked by a fleet of corsairs, including a gunboat and 3 fighters, who had been engaged with some Phoenix Mercenaries. In the chaos I attempted to re-dock with the Planet, only to discover it had turned hostile due to a targeting error, unable to dock, I tried to fight them off, but they were too strong. As I desperately tried to flee to protect the valuable cargo, the Steadfast was destroyed and the weapons stolen. Panicking, I had the Bretonian Ambassador make an emergency request in Liberty for bounty hunters to assist us, and quickly recalled a Battleship from a diplomatic mission in Rheinland, as well as rallying what forces I could in Bretonia. With the brave work of BAF|Ens.Thomas.Andrews and several Phoenix mercenaries, as well as a bounty hunter from Liberty, all the corsair ships were eventually destroyed. Searching among the wreckage, however, no trace of the Supernovas could be found. When questioned, the corsair prisoners merely laughed at me. I did sucessfully manage a second supply trip, with the result that we now do have 3 supernovas in the armoury, but I must confess that the BAF has lost in excess of 23 million credits-worth of equipment in this disaster.

If Captain Nelson had been in command instead of myself, I am certain that this catastrophy would never have occured. Therefore I, Commander Graham Harper, take full responsibility for this loss, and hence offer the resignation of my commission having brought shame upon the BAF. I await the Court-Marshall of Bretonia with a loaded pistol by my bedside......

Attention to all BAF officers:

The Captain of the recently commissioned Battleship HMS-Red.Dwarf has was today apprehended in the skies above New London by a fleet consisting of the Pendragon, 3 Destroyers and 4 fighters. He received an official reprimand from the Fleet, endorsed by the Admiralty Board, for violating Rheinland and Liberty sovreign space without permission. He sounded resentful, but then claimed to agree to act responsibly and with restraint in future, despite appearing somwhat derisory towards our authority.



However, once our fleet began to disperse, the HMS-Red.Dwarf suddenly and without warning opened fire upon the HMS-Redoubt who's systems had been paralysed. The HMS-Redoubt was disabled and the HMS-Sovreign was forced to withdraw under heavy fire, whilst one of the Ensigns' stationary fighters was simply blown to pieces instantly, again with no warning. As the Pendragon reappeared along with a second battleship, the HMS-Rodney, and began to engage the Red.Dwarf, he fled through our weakened blockade, with our fleet in hot pursuit, demanding that the Captain surrender his vessel and be court-marshalled. The Red.Dwarf fled into Cambridge, but as we arrived at the Jump Gate a large fleet of corsairs arrived, allowing him to escape but engaging us. By the time the corsairs had been neutralised the Red.Dwarf had reached Omega and disappeared.

The Bretonian Embassy in Liberty notified the LN of this rogue vessel shortly afterwards, and measures are being put in place to inform Rheinland. We wish to request that the Defence Minister declare this Battleship to have left the service of the BAF and to be considered Rogue and Kill on Sight in Bretonia, as well as having measures put in place to hunt him down abroad. This unhappy episode echoes the story of the HMS Churchill, and once again has brought shame upon a BAF warship.

Admiral Whittlington, New London Planetary Fleet, HMS-Pendragon

HMS.Vancouver, HMS-Rodney and the BAF-Elizabeth.Jones, and obviously, the Pendragon.

The standing orders are specifically:

1. HMS-Red Dwarf is to be destroyed on sight. IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS Blacknq. Break out your bombers, gents.

2. Any unknown Bretonian Battleship shall be treated with extreme caution, in case this one continues to modify its IFF to avoid detection.

Status Update: Shade (terrorist)

Author: Lt. Blake Owen

As I'm sure most most officers are aware, we've been chasing the terrorist known only as "Shade" for quite awhile. Today, we finally caught up with him. We where able to intercept communications giving us reason to believe that Shade was attacking Sunderland research station. Myself and Ensign Thomas Andrews went to investigate, where we found Shade destroying the alien ruins in Newcastle. We ordered him to surrender, but he refused. As we moved to engage, we saw that he was flying a Lane Hacker gunship! We began shooting as I cursed myself for not bringing my Challenger to the fight. He surrendered when we brought his shields down and significantly damaged his hull plating. I ordered him to drop all cargo and pay a five million credit fine, then be escorted out of Bretonia. He claimed that he didn't have sufficient funds to pay the fine, and began dropping his cargo. Fortunately, we recovered captured Bretonian pilots and other human cargo, but he escaped with the nomads, leaving behind a trail of countermeasures. We pursued as Ensign Noel Oliver arrived on the scene, heading to Cape Wrath base. The HMS Vanguard moved to intercept, and with concentrated fire we destroyed him.

[attachmentid=5455]

We where close enough to the Outcast base that he was tractored in, and the Vanguard's commander gave strict orders to return Shade to Bretonian hands. So far, they have not surrendered him.

If Shade returns, note that his Lane Hacker Gunship's callsign is "Shade." He may still be operating his Raven's Claw under the "Shade" callsign.

Spotted what I think is this guy's latest name today in New London. He is now called ListerOfASmeg, so the link to Red Dwarf is pretty clear there.

I spoke to him and asked if he was BAF he said he was not. I then said to behave himself and I moved to enter a trade lane. The TL was disrupted and he then logged off. I did not see him shoot it, but it was likely.

Subjet: Weekly reporting

Week started peacefully, but now, when i look back, I'm happy to be alive.

First encounter with the 'bad boys', in this case a bad girl, happend in the begining of the week.
While talking to a Bowex pilot, i received an SoS call from that same pilot. As far as i understood, he was attacked by a Gaian pilot, and he needed help. I headed for Leeds system, but i wasn't fast enough. Farbridge, the Bowex pilot, had to eject in front of my eyes.
This terrible crime was done by a Gaian, called Nasturtim. Seeing me, she fastly covered her steps and dissappeard into Cambridge system.Talking to her, i discovered that she's a very unstable person, and that she needed psihiatric help, because what other way I'd call a person that enoyus hurting people.
After playing hide and seek it took me 3 hours to find her. I finnaly found her in Leeds system, in Uranium field.
I asked her to surrender, but she simply responded "Better leave beforre i kill you."
I had to do my duty, so i tried to destroy her ship. I was lucky and i stayed alive. As my Templar was falling apart, I decided to make a run for it, not to get into the hands of that crazy women.
I recommend caution to every pilot who meets her.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2jslw&s=5

After a short pause i spotted another Gaian, named Gaia-Earth. Cought after serch of New London, after sending some propaganda nonsense.
He quickly stoped talking and started shooting. I decided to use force to arrest this hipi-terrorist. His ship was quickly destroyed, but i found no trace of his escape pod.
Later that day Gaians attacked again. Lt.Cdr. Harrington, Captian Mainwaring, Ensign Oliver and myself were involved in the action. Our side had no losses while Gaians again lost ships in a suicide attack on us.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=23jjvvm&s=5

My next enemy, whom i faced alone, was a Corsair in search for food and supplys, who decided to rob depots of the Southampton. After spotting me, he decided to try his luck and attack. Everything was finished in less then a minute, since Corsairs have quantitie, not quality.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2nqfsjr&s=5

After a few hours of peace, Bowex spotted a Hessian ship in Omega 3 and requested help.Rodney Trotter and I responded, and decided to secure the system from pirats.
We found him(RHA Shimada) and asked him nicely to head back to his stinking part of space, but he refused. From words we passed on to guns, and thanks to coded tactics, we destroyed the RHA gunship. But before he got destroyed, he called in for help from his commie friend, to attacks us togeather. As soon as we destroyed the Hessian, the commia attacked us. We concentrated our fire on the commia, but he called two more of his comrades. They both got killed, thanks to careful aiming from Rodney and me. Seeing he has no chance, the last commie decided to leg it. Action involved Rodney Trotter and me.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=do05tt&s=5

Next important case happened in Dublin system. While looking called Kathir-Highway, Ensign Oliver and I run into a Molly ambush. And noth just any ambush... A warship, RM-1 Outcast Destroyer class... Since retreat is unfamiliar to me, i tried talking the captain into surrendering. He, of course, refused. Molly captain decided to attack us while we were unprotected. Oliver paniced, and Molly destroyed his Templar, which left me alone in my Challenger. I was buying time until HMS-IronDuke which I called to help, arrived. It was a titan fight, and Molly didn't get so lucky, so he got destroyed. IronDuke alse suffered heavy damaged, so I escorted it to the Southampton Shipyard for repairs. Action involved Ensign Oliver, warship HMS-IronDuke and me.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6gikic&s=5

While patroling the New London system, I received info about a Corsair attack near planet Cambridge. Rodney Trotter and I flew there, and fount the 'sair ships. We got fired on by a gunboat and bomber, but in a swift action we destroyed both ships. In the meantime another 'sair appeared. A Nepthys class VHF. It was my first encounter with this type of vessel, but I found out soon enough that it ain't resilient to my mines. Once again, a Corsair search for food failed. Action involved Rodney Trotter and me. No losses on our side, with total losses on 'Sairs.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=723vht&s=5

As soon as we finished this action, we received report on other Corsair robbing a poor trader. We found him and destroyed the Corsair ship quickly.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2wqr6rt&s=5

This week the Corsairs spent most of the time searching for food in Bretonia, so another one was found near Cambridge planet. He too met the same fate.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2ihmjgm&s=5

At Sunday, a fleet of 10 Corsair ships invaded Bretonia. The action involved Commodore McKenna, Liutenant Aldwyn, Ensign Rodney Trotter, Ensign Pierce Quinn and me.
I took down one Corsair, while my wingmans get rest.
