Good evening BAF DIS,

I was in New London, patrolling, and was going to start a patrol in Leeds when GRN|Alice.Marie and GRN|Ferdinand.Mounier popped out of the jump hole to Leeds. Marie ordered Mounier to attack me. I would've had Mounier, but she called him back and she went in herself to deal with me. The two of us fought ferociously and got hits on each other. However, after about 10 minutes, she was gaining the upper hand and I ordered a withdraw. I ordered a gunboat that was standing by, called the Alys'aril, to cover me while we all retreated back to New London. My ship took damage, but I feel as though this attack was a precursor to more attacks. The GRN are getting bolder. Everyone including the GRN escaped unharmed, more or less. Sorry I do not have evidence, the attack was spot on and I had no time to react. But we do have witnesses. Tallyho I do say!

Ever since my return from my personal leave, I have been mauled with heavy work in the front lines. First, once again, GAF|Jaguar, a GRN cruiser, normally seen in the planetary orbit of Planet Leeds. Calling for support, in the form of Officer Paul Hastings and Colonel from the Maltese Legion, Eliza Valdez, we did quick work out of the cruiser and it finally imploded in self-despair and pitty. However, his crew ejected safely and in time, and in coordination with Officer Hastings and Colonel Valdez we managed to deliver them to the security units in the Resistance base in Leeds. Later on, a call for help was issued, due to a corsair vessel hitting several trade convoys in the Cambridge-Omega 3 jump gate. Not even three minutes later, I was on site and ready to deliver punishment to the said corsair, now identified, gunboat. With local support with did short work of it, and it exploded outside the Keswick Ice Cloud. Not half an hour later, it was evident that the gunboat was forward recon to a bigger group. A Legate, commanding a Praefect and a Titan appeared at the same locale. Sir Hall in Thunderer raised the alarm and we were on top of them like the knights of old. The Legate was the prime target of the whole engagement while Captain Jefferson kept the Titan busy, and I kept the cruiser focused on me, while the Thunderer punished the Legate with volleys from afar and superior handling inside the ice field. Captain Jefferson meanwhile managed to subdue the Titan, as me and the Thunderer kept the pressure on the Legate and it eventually buckled from that pressure. The Praefect was short work after that. Unfortunately, the Thunderer seemed to be in need of urgent repairs, due to the ferocity of the fighting, and it was escorted to deliver injured to the Norfolk, before proceeding to Southampton.

Called upon by scouts in Magellan about sightings of a gallic battlegroup, I immediately departed from the resistance base in Planet Leeds, and found myself alone, looking at the targets. With a quick jab and witty words, the remarks were left at that, and the two Valors present engaged in a course straight to Freeport 4. The only ship present, the HMS-Arcturus, decided to engage on a long distance fight, which was ultimately lost as I tried to stave away the preying enemies. Unfortunately, it was too late for it, but with faith and preseverance, I stood true to Bretonia and killed one of their bombers. Finally support arrived in the form of the Sovereign, commanded by Sir Hall, and Lieutenant Thomas Murphy. I ordered Murphy to engage and keep Marechal Alice Marie busy, while me and the Sovereign dealt with a cruiser that had just appeared. As we finalized the engagement, one of the Valors decloaked and started exchanging fire with the Sovereign. Sir Hall and its crew preformed admirably and managed to take the win as I provided bomber support. As we were returning to check upon Murphy and his charge, he took the win brilliantly against the Marechal. His talent for duels is something to keep an eye on, for he truly outdone himself today. As we were congratulating him, the last Valor appeared, trying to capitalize on the already shot up Sovereign with missiles. As Murphy was all but shot down, with his Eagle in need of repairs, I ordered him back to safe grounds, in New London, as I tried to help the Sovereign in any way I could. Once again, it prevailed with Sir Hall commanding his crew. Finally with the situation controlled, I escorted the limping Sovereign back to Freeport 4 where I was dismissed and returned to the Norfolk for repairs and refit.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen
This report is filed on the behalf of Captain Dagon who is unfortunatly away attending a funeral and can therefore not file it herself at the moment.

Upon launching from Battleship York i was contacted by Captain Dagon who promptly ordered me to do a sweep of the New London system where i came across a Coalition bomber between the Cambridge Jump gate-New London trade lane. The captain soon found me (as did two secondry fleet pilots) and we began our communication with the Coalition pilot by the name of Egor Vesnov. As it so happened he wished to leave that organisation, thus the captain, myself and one of the Secondry pilots escorted him to Battleship Harlow to await further instructions from the Admirals. So far as I know, he is still there.

The Captain then decided that a snap patrol of Omega-3 was in order and thus we flew there. We were briefly contacted by a CNS-Sokol who teased us for a while before disappearing into the Omega-5 system (The ship was cloaked). At the same time we recieved a message from a Rheinland born Freelancer by the name of Lena.Riemann who claimed to have found a pirate by the Freeport. We made haste but instead of finding a pirate we found miss Riemann (with whom the Captain exchanged a few cool words with) and soon after a member of the 72nd Maltese fleet (One Leonardo Valdez). A Junker Marauder (Ship name 'Repentance') was also present. A FUB Transport then flew past us with Contraband (Nuclear devices) and fled all the way to the Cambridge Jump gate (New London side) before stopping. We were acompanied by the freelancer. I was soon called away to deal with a misunderstanding between the 72nd and a Privateer back in Cambridge, which i settled and sent both parties on their way with no shots fired.

The Captain (who settled the transport matter and had joined me in Cambridge) and I returned to New London only to be greeted by the 72nd pilot and another outcast, a Maltese Exile Rosa Veraz. We all talked for a while (The freelancer was still present) before i made the request to Captain Dagon about writing a formal Sociological report on miss Veraz. I believe the captain took it the wrong way, nonetheless i which to repeat my request to the Admiraly Board. I believe that understanding this particular group of outcasts would be of great benifit to the researchers on Cambridge.

With our lenthly conversation concluded, the Captain returned to New London, and I to Cambridge, thus concluding our patrol.

In Service.
LtCdr V. Steiner.

Good evening.
I am filling the debrief report on Out-Op DBLD751867.

In my patrols, I was alerted to the presence of a small gaul force harassing BMM miners in Dublin. Alongside me, Lieutenant Thomas Murphy and special Agent Zulu Seven from the BIS, responded to the report, report which was gave by a Privateer, Sir Ernest Shackelton. Us four engaged the gaul force, composed of four vessels, lead by a Maurice Cornett. Soon, our concerted efforts started to show the level of our experience attained in the course of the past year. First one to go was a GRN|Fleur Vinal, under the cross-hair of Lieutenant Murphy. Then it was GRN|Ferdinand Mounier, that was taken by Sir Shackleton. Then their leader, Monsieur Cornett could not withstand the pressure and his ship was destroyed. With that, me and Lieutenant Murphy decided to show some flair, and allowed the last one to be engaged by Zulu Seven and Sir Shackleton. Without much hassle, Monsieur Hurlerage's ship became another wreck claimed by Dublin.

An hour and half later, the general alarm was sounded in New London, as a gaul battlegroup managed to bypass the security line. First on site, I took notice of their heavy assets and relayed any information of note back to Control, before being engaged by one of their fighters. A classical duel, the poor thing decided to change interests during the fight since he was not able to overcome me, and decided to take engage one of the secondary pilots, a Simon Quirke, that managed to capitalize the kill with class. Meanwhile, our capital engagement did not went that well, as the two Valors left New London with severe damage, barely holding the voyage through the jump-hole. Chasing afterwards, as Auxesia was trying to cut them off, me and Simon found ourselves surrounded by a full wing of their pilots. Me and Mr. Quirke fought well, considering their numbers, and I managed to put down two more vessels before my Guardian gave out.

Admiralty Board,I suggest heavy coordination training with our secondaries, namely, the capital assets in the near future.

Good day BAF DIS,

Our recent patrols are proof of the ongoing tenacity of the Gallic Royal Navy making incursions into Dublin and New London.

Yesterday I was on patrol with BAF Lieutenant-Commander Steiner when we spotted a Gallic 'Valor' Battleship, RNS Corsica, enter Dublin on range radar. We received reports that the battleship destroyed several mining ships in the system, and was causing havoc. Backup was called and HMS Arturus came on scene to fight the GRN incursion into Bretonian space.

We played a game of cat and mouse with RNS Corsica for a while, when we ended up in battle far beyond D1 and E1 on our navigation charts. HMS Arturus fought bravely, but without further capital ship backup it was destroyed by the GRN RNS Corsica.

During that time we were able to muster a Bretonian squad of secondary fleet ships and otherwise to assist the defence of Bretonia. This included the Liberty Secondary Fleet, who came to our aid. I was from the demise of HMS Arturus in command of 5-10 ships in protecting our space and ensuring that the GRN incursion into Bretonia was stopped. We ended spending a large amount of time chasing RNS Corsica between Leeds, Dublin and New London until I ordered ships to make an effective blockade. We were able to corner RNS Corsica into New London, with our fleets securing the Dublin and Leeds jumpholes. Eventually I found RNS Corsica at the Cambridge Jumpgate in the New London system. Chasing him into Cambridge, HMS Caledonia came on scene and we fought RNS Corsica and successfully destroyed the cruiser.

While we were in combat with RNS Corsica, I gave orders for the other ships to converge into New London. GRN then launched an assault into New London with bombers and a capital ship. We quickly returned the New London and joined the fight. Using the usual rules of war I ensured things remained in good order. The battle continued when I found a bomber engaging one of our capital ships fighting another Gallic cruiser. I ended in pursuit and commenced combat with the Gallic bomber, fighting valiantly and distracting him from joining the fray whilst our forces destroyed the Gallic battleship. He then started to flee and was destroyed. We rescued his capsule and detained him for processing on New London

Having rid New London of the majority of Gallic forces, one ship started to flee. Our squadron was in pursuit when battle ensued and that ship was also destroyed. Unfortunately there was no survivor from the wreckage for our forces to capture.

For the glory of our Majesty, Carina I, the day was victorious!! We ended capturing 460 prisoners of war from the destroyed cruisers, and large moral victory for our forces. I commanded the forces which fougth back a GRN incursion into Bretonia which was solidly defeated. Afterwards, Lieutenant Commander Steiner took over command whilst I went back for repairs on New London and to process the prisoners I captured in the fight.

I leave with you pictures of my patrol as evidence of the incursion. Feel free to look at them for the progress of the battle. I would like to note that GRN continue making brave incursions into Bretonian space, we have to be on the lookout and ever vigilant. I look forward to taking Leeds back from the cursed Gallic forces!

Carina, Regina, Imperatrix!

Good day BAF DIS,

Earlier today, I had been patrolling around the Leeds system looking for Gauls with two others: the HMS-Fortitude and the CLN-Solitaire.Prédateur. The Redemption and the other Dunkirk and I had formed up when we saw that the GRN|RNS-Royal.Vauquelin and the RNS-Tonnant took off from Planet Leeds. The CLN-Solitaire.Prédateur moved in to rush the enemy, soaking up hits but doing sufficient damage to the GRN|RNS-Royal.Vauquelin, and some damage to the RNS-Tonnant. The CLN-Solitaire.Prédateur was taken down by the GRN|RNS-Royal.Vauquelin. The HMS-Fortitude went too close, and was taken down by the GRN|RNS-Royal.Vauquelin at close range. I moved my ship to a decent range, and prepared for long range sustained mortar fire. I was almost through with the RNS-Tonnant when I lost my range and we got into prime range. I destroyed him, but the second after I did, GRN|Guy.Josselyne" SNAC'd my ship's hull, disabling it. My ship, now almost destroyed, floated around Leeds until about an hour later, when a repair crew came to pick us up. Well, I hope you are all well and good day!

Good evening BAF DIS,

I was patrolling around in the Leeds system with Lieutenant Commander Steiner, when a GRN agent by the name of [RN]-Francois.Drake. arrived at the trade lane to the broken New London Jumpgate. Steiner was help up in the West Leeds smog cloud by another agent, GRN|Guy.Josselyne. I destroyed [RN]-Francois.Drake with a Mini Razor rather quickly, then headed off to help Lieutenant Commander Steiner. I arrived and instructed Victor to kill GRN|Guy.Josselyne. But another GRN agent arrived on the scene. One by the name of Luiz.Navarro. I engaged him while Lieutenant Commander Steiner fought with GRN|Guy.Josselyne. I killed Luiz.Navarro quite quickly as well, doing damage then using the Mini Razor to destroy his ship. Lieutenant Commander Steiner's ship was blown up, well, not his pod, and I went in to take GRN|Guy.Josselyne. Being already worn out and tired, he took me out after about 5 minutes with mines and the like. My ship was decimated, but a repair team came and picked both Lieutenant Commander Steiner and me up not too long after. Well, that is officially my first GRN agent kill and second time taking two men with me in one day. Tallyho I do say!

[RN]-Francois.Drake. killed
Luiz.Navarro killed

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen

This evening's events has been most eventful.

After recieving a message from BPA Officer Steve Judge i arrived in New London to discover Liberty Navy Admiral Alan Jones engaged in combat with a Royal Navy bomber Pilot ( X. Sisco) just outside of southampton, I offered aid but he insisted i call for backup as the RNS-Gascogne was also present. I rallied forces from the Secondry fleet, Privateers and the BPA and ordered them to gather at Southampton which they did in good order.
Our forces were:
HMS-Victory (Dunkirk)
HMS-Quatus (A gunboat who was placed in reserve until he was needed)
BPA Officer Steve Judge (Templar)
Ernest.Shackleton (Privateer in an OSC VHF)
Myself (LtCdr Victor Steiner flying a challenger)
Enemy forces were:
RNS-Gascogne (Valour)
X. Sisco (Cougar Bomber)

The Victory and I engaged the Valour while Officer Judge and Mister Shackleton engaged the cougar. The Victory put up a solid engagement and managed to seriously damage the Valour, but was unfortunatly destroyed. I stuck with it taking it down to roughly 4% hull before it cloaked and returned to Leeds. The Cougar however was not so lucky and was destroyed by Shackleton. Shackleton and I attempted to follow the Valour but we lost the train, the HMS-Quatus returned to its normal patrol and Officer Judge attended to an issue around Planet New London.

Soon I was contacted by Officer Judge again, who requested my presence at the Planet. I was soon greeted by a Rheinland Gunboat, with a Rheinland Military IFF and Rheinlan Inteligence ID (Marinenachrichtendienst). The captain's name is Ivan VonClaussen. We repeatedly ordered him out of the system and Bretonia, only for him to refuse. We managed to convince him to go to the New London-Cambridge Jump gate before he stated he would go no further with an escort. He also threatened to shoot us both if we tried to stop him. Tired of his stubborness I contacted the Rhienland BDM agency, given that time of night i didn't hold out much hope, but i was pleasantly surprised to recieve a reply from Flottillenadmiral Hofmann. I explained the problem to him asked him to remove his man.

I apologise to the Board in advance, I allowed Admiral Hofmann temporary access into Bretonia (Cambridge) as I was the ranking officer of the watch at the time and that, given the time of night, the Admirals were asleep. I submit to any punishment should you find it appropriate.

The admiral made it in good time and scolded the Pilot, amazingly the Captain of the Ship refused to Obey the Admiral's orders as well, and only complied when Hofmann threatened to shoot him on the spot. After much arguing, the Gunboat finally decided to leave, under heavy escort from us of course. We made it to the freeport where the admiral stated that another BDM agent would arrive in Omega-7 to deal with captain VonClaussen. The Captain however had other plans are refused to go any further until the second agent was in front of him. We agreed, and I suggested that we wait at Aland Shipyard but the second BDM agent arrived before we could depart. At this moment the Gunboat decided to Leg it toward the Omega-7 Jump gate, with the four of us in hot pursuit. I took the trade lane to the Jump gate and cut the Gunboat off. I finally lost my temper and demanded he leave. He made his way toward the Jump gate before letting slip a snid comment that sent Admiral Hofmann over the edge, he ordered his man to kill the Gunboat, I denied Officer Judge the right to shoot and held my own fire, i asked him One last time to leave in peace. Hofmann (who had now held his fire) stated that if ever he wanted to return to Bretonia he would ask first.

VonClaussen then threatened to kill the Admiral and as such we all engaged the Gunboat, tired of his insolence. Alas, officer Judge was shot down but his pod was retrieved and I landed the killing shot in vengence. I then proceeded to have words with both BDM pilots about this incident when not 30 seconds later a Hessian Battlecruiser jumped through the Gate. I sent out a distress signal and we all engaged the hessian until HMS-Holmfirth arrived to lend a hand. With the destruction of the Hessian, and my conversation with the Rheinlanders complete I returned to Cambridge where i await your instructions.

This is the second Rheinland Inteligence agent i have discovered in Bretonia, i questioned the Admiral about it and he has requested evidence, which i have in my possesion, to be sent to him. With your permission i will send it.

Logs and Photographic Evidence can be provided upon request.

Good day BAF DIS,

I Send here the report of the recent battle in Omega-3 system.

Battle of Omega-3 report

Date: 20/03/824 18:02
Location: Omega-3 System

Victory!

The CNS-"Red_Devil" had just destroyed a Bretonia Mining and Fabrication transport and I had caught it in the act. It started to deny the evidence and to make weird and incredible excuses that had worsen his situation. Since she didn't want to pay the fine (a total o 10.000.000$ and complete expulsion from Bretonia) I ordered the attack. Meanwhille another Corsair gunboat appeared but the HMS-Caledonia managed to destroy it with our snub support too. The Red Devil retired to Cadiz base, Omega-5 after being reduced in this way. I think she had learned the lesson
