Honourable Admirals,

The subject of this report is an ambush on Leeds wich took place under the command and on the initiative of Admiral Hall earlier today.

I got a Message from the radio operator of the HMS-Dauntless asking for assistance for a quick surprise attack on the Gallic fleet in Leeds.
The plan was to go in fast and hit them unprepared. We grouped up at planet Leeds, coming from New London respectively Magellan. The involved ships were the HMS-Dauntless, the HMS-Mull.of.Kintyre and the HMS-Elephant. We got signals of two GRN-vessels in the system and went to search them out.

We finally encountered them in the east Leeds smog cloud. The Vessels in question were the GRNC-Limbourg and the GRNC-Heerlen, two Obstinate gallic battlecruisers.
After they refused to surrender they were put out of action by the HMS-Daunless and the HMS-Elephant.

Additional note:
since the fight was fought on long distaces in a dense nebula I was not able to gather visual files

In short:
two Gallic Battlecruisers were destroyed; the attack was succesful

Yours sincerly,
Jacob Fraser

I attempted to do the same today as was shown in Fraser's report, but this time the Dauntless was alone. While attempting to contact the resistance on Planet Leeds for information, we encountered a Valor-class named Omelette au Fromage. I have no idea what it means in their language, but it has to be something arrogant and dominating. Probably also yellow-bellied, beneath the aggressive crust, as all of them are.
They wanted us to leave, but we refused. A battle ensued. Our radar officers did not notice two Heavy Trebuchets going straight at our ship, which hit us along with the forward cannon. Subtle incapacitation of the radar crew is my first suspect, as they were, devotedly and for a long time, searching the planet surface for resistance enclaves prior to the event.
We managed to make up for the damage received during the opening moves, but apparently it was not enough. The Dauntless was disabled, but she has been successfully towed to Southampton. The Valor limped away smoking. I assume that they were prepared today, but apparently not even that has saved them from expensive repairs. I believe the smaller size of the Dunkirk has paid off. We have also lost less tea due to less space being available.
On the contrary however, I propose that the tea cargo space is enlarged. Ships are not meant to fall apart.

Possible remains of the battle footage which might help us understand it better are being salvaged. Long live the Queen.

Allied Units:

1) BAF|HMS-Dauntless (Dunkirk: Disabled).

Enemy Units:

1) Omelette.au.Fromage (Valor: Very Heavily Damaged).

Yours sincerely,.....................................................

Honourable Admirals,

This report is filed in regards to the progress of Operation Balance.

Today we attempted to capture the first Gallic officers for interrogation. We moved to Leeds onboard the HMS-Elephant, entering the system through New London and therefore heading to planet Leeds, the designated attack point, through the west Leeds smog cloud.

When we arrived at a distance of 10 Klicks off of planet Leeds we instantly encountered a small fighter patrol of the Gallics.
After their fighters were no more then scrap metal and their pilots were on board, we got signal of a Gallic battlecruiser and a Valor heading towards us. We fought them off, eventually destroying the two warships and four gunboats.

Assuming that more forces were on their way due to the fast response of the Gallics we retreated to New London, and finally back to Newcastle, where we started.
We shuttled the prisoners over to the Macduff, whereafter we left the Elephant to our engineers for the necessary repairs.

In short:
We captured a Fleet Admiral, a Cruiser Commander, four Gunboatcaptains and two Fighter pilots for the progress of Operation Balance

Honourable Admirals,

This is the second report regarding Operation Balance.
It is filed a day after the mentioned events, owing to a lack of time from my side, for which I apologize.

We started again from Newcastle, heading the same route as the day before. Everything went as expected until we reached the surroundings of planet Leeds. Reaching the planet we did not encounter any Gallic forces first, which seemed quite strange to me, due to the fast response we got the last time we showed up there.

But as time passed and we nearly thought there would not be anything worth our time this day, we were attacked by a large force of fighters.
While we managed to fight them off, two battlecruisers engaged to help them out, which were not able to gain the upper hand because they did not attack coordinated enought.

While we were already about to head back, a Valor with escort appeared on our screens.
We managed to overwhelm it and its escort as well, whereafter we finally set course back to the Macduff.

Reaching the Macduff we shuttled the new prisoners over and I gave the crew the rest of the day off, for they fought hard and needed some rest.
This time the Elephant took only minor damage and will not need to pay our engineering teams a visit.

In short:
New prisoners: one Fleet Admiral; two Cruiser Commanders; six Gunboat Captains; 30 Fighter Pilots

Honourable Admirals,

I will report an escort mission here, which took place to support Operation Valletta

Earlyer that day i got a message from the captain of the Bowex-vessel Lipton, which was about to deliver marines to planet Leeds to support the planetary resistance. He asked if we could escort the assembling convoy and so we moved first to the Suffolk to pick up some marines ourselves.

After that we met the other participants at Southampton Shipyard. The convoy first consisted of the Bowex)Lipton (Shire-transport), the Butcher (a Liner), the BPA)Forge (a clydesdale), the HMS-Talisman and the BAF|A-HMS-Elephant, but later on we got help from a BMM vessel (namely the BMM)BadgerMurder). After a short talk I was appointed to take command, which I did.

We moved to the Leeds system through the New London jumphole, first sending the BPA)Forge to scout the route. After we got clearence to move we quickly reached the planet. The Talisman and the Elephant took position to guard the convoy while the two freighter pilots started to shuttle the marines to the surface. Still there was no enemy contact and after we were done, we moved back to New London where the convoy disbanded.

The convoy started with 8695 marines of which 306 were lost while they were about to be shuttled to the surface for no apparent reason and one stayed onboard the Lipton due to a loading error. Nevertheless i take full charge. So the number of delivered marines is 8388.
On the way back we took as many refugees with us as we could possibly, but due to their bad condition and belongings we could only ship half as much as we moved marines.

All in all the mission was a succes but my thoughts are with the lost marines.
Gladly we had no other losses.

In short:
We moved a lot of reinforcements to planet Leeds (8695 -306 -1)
No fights to be reported
also see the report here

Sidenote:
There was an incident yesterday which should be mentioned;
A Liberty Navy Carrier (callsign TheHelper) was sighted in New London without any orders to be there.
The captain seems to have made a mistake, since he left Bretonia after we arrived there. But its remarkable that he did not leave Bretonia when the BPA) told him to, but first warships had to roll out.

Yours sincerly,
Jacob Fraser

I have to report the passage of an Auxesia Battle Group capital ship through Bretonia.
I was commanding the Dauntless today and had just chased away an Obstinate when I met them in Magellan, having been contacted by them before. The ship was a Bullhead-class, named A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith. They were followed by a Freelancer fighter. I escorted them both to Cambridge and then to the Omega-5 jump hole. Their destination was Omega-41, with the intention of fighting against the Corsairs. I received two units of tea from the impressed captain of the Eidolon Wraith, but I am afraid that I cannot share it as it is being tested for possible harmful substances. You can never know what sorts of preposterous thins ships coming from the Omicrons can bring.

Besides my commendations of Flag Officer Fraser's dedicated service, I must also mention that I have recently transferred £10,000,000 from my personal account to the Armoury for the purpose of funding our operations. I hope that it matters, as the sum is a considerable percentage of my total funds. I urge the High Command not to hand me any medals, let alone increase my already somewhat satisfying salary, because I am doing this for the Kingdom's sake and not for my own benefit, and about that I am utmost sincere. The Court may, of course, continue taking their time in entitling me with knighthood. I am not complaining. Their interests are above mine.
Long live the Queen.

Honourable Admirals,

This is the third report regarding Operation Balance. The report is split in two parts.

(1) Today we went the usual route to Leeds. We encountered three Gallic Battlecruisers with escorts, which so far wasnt a problem, but later on we were attacked by a gallic bomber with the callsign {B}Tonnant-B-01. Since we had no fighter escort and I was not willing to rist a longer fight under that circumstances we retreated, the bomber right behind us.
After some time he seemed to deem it ineffective and left. We then went to Newcastle, leaving our prisoners on the Macduff.

(2) Later on we moved to Leeds again, this time with the help of Commander Seeley French. When we arrived everything seemed calm. Then we got attacked by another battlecruiser group. We fought them back, whereafter we got reading of a trader on our scanner ( callsign Thomas.G.Galvalon )
The trader in question was moving military vehicles towards planet Leeds. We stopped him and he instead delivered them to our forces, with the help of Cdr.French and a vessel of the Junkers Congress ( callsign .:j:.Britanicus ).
When they started, a Valor with escort appeared out of nowhere ( likely the east Leeds smog cloud ) and attacked them. We moved in to help them and some minutes later the fight was over.
After that we retreated to New London, where I had to drop the prisoners of on Southampton Shipyard due to a distress call.
I hope they were relocated to one of our Battleships as planned and can be interrogated like the others.
On a side note we got accompanied by an Auxesia vessel while we delivered the military equipment ( callsign A/)-Bird.of.Passage ). It acted friendly and later on helped us, but that incedent in question will be topic of another report, which I will not file.

Additional informaton:
visual files

In short:
New prisoners: three Cruiser Commanders; two Gunboat Captains; 5 Fighter Pilots; Pending: one Fleet Admiral, three Cruiser Commanders; 8 Gunboat Captains and 20 pilots
more than 300 military vehicles redirected to our forces on planet Leeds

Honourable Admirals,

I am reporting the outcome of the battle that took place yesterday in Omega 3 near planet Sprague.

I was ordered to move to Freeport 1 this day to take part in a joint operation with the Core to strengthen our border aswell as the ties with that organization.
When I arrived at the Freeport there already was a Core strikeforce, and in the next minutes the rest of the group appeared. In the end we had a group consisting of two Battleships, one Destroyer and a bunch of fighters and bombers ( I might have missed a capital vessel, but these were the ones I saw myself ).
Then I got a Corsair capital vessel on my screen, followed by messages about a Corsair and Gaian strikeforce near planet Sprague.
It was decided we had to drive them out, given our good strength in forces. So the whole battlegroup moved to the position where we expected the other fleet.
We met them at that spot and it didnt take long till the first shots were fired. The enemy fleet consisted of two battleships, one cruiser, two gunboats and fighter-, as well as bomberforces. After that I lost the overview over the exact details.
But our capital forces were disabled after a hard fight, which left the fighter forces with little chances to win this battle. Naturally we kept fighting and eventually were able to destroy all of the enemy fighter craft, whereafter we had to retreat for not getting killed.
In the end two of our fighters were the only remaining forces, both very heavily damaged.

In short:
A big Corsair/Gaian battlegroup was fought by a BAF/Core force; We werent able to gain victory but we also decimated them rather heavily so they couldnt endanger Bretonia more.
Surviving forces: Lt.Libby-Jane.Roberts; BAF|Lt.Jacob.McIntire

Yours sincerly,
Jacob McIntire

Good evening Admiralty.

I am Lieutenant Jade Roberts, I was a member of the Armed Forces a few years back with my sister Liberty-Jane Roberts. From what I hear she was shot down and killed on that special mission you gave her but that is the rumors I am hearing. After taking some time as leave, I wish to come back into the Armed Forces and fight for freedom and the Queen her Majesty's.

My Templar and Challenger are both at the Southampton Shipyard and I am awaiting further orders.

Yours sincerely,.....................................................

Lieutenant Jade Roberts

Lieutenant,

We are glad that you have returned, along with your guns. Hopefully they will be as useful as they have been before. We hope that your skill has not diminished and that we do not have to demote you to an ensign because of your relatively long absence.
As of your sister, I am sorry to tell you that we have no information. She is currently considered missing in action. In case that she or any other MIA is alive, we have our receivers tuned in. If she is not with us any more, it was for a rightful cause. Such noble sacrifice Bretonia expects from every woman and man.
Long live the Queen.

Yours sincerely,.....................................................

Admiral Sir George R. Hall
