cpt hall had received some message about some maybe illegal base in Dublin, so he sent me ( who else?!)to check it. I did and there really was a base ,owned by some guy named paddy, the bugger must be a molly. Its right in the very middle of the mining field in e2 and it didnt allow me to dock . You guvs should check with the BPa if its legal, but im rather sure that no one may build bases in mining fieds, especially if the BAF arent allowed to dock. sOrry for my poor writing although i didnt hit my head due to a mine this time. Im not being paid enough, so im forced to buy the cheapest gin ,which can mess with your brain over a while. And these blokes inside that base werent even polite enough to let me into their pub.

This is a report about the action that took place during this September, starting with August the 30th.

It was a rough start. On that day, the HMS Sovereign was caught at the Essex by three SCRA destroyers, a bomber and an Osiris-class of theirs. We were overwhelmed. They left us when we were no longer in the condition to fire, probably in fear of our reinforcements. It took us more than a day to repair her.

On August the 31st the Sovereign was repaired and became engaged in another battle. We spotted a Gallic battlecruiser, the Lyon, in Dublin. While some of our Crayterian allis kept them pinned, we disabled the Lyon with our turrets. After that we spotted what seemed like its tardy reinforcements, a Valor and two Obstinates, right behind the Essex. With the help of a couple of Crayter bombers and another battleship, the HMS Gibraltar, we defeated the enemy fleet without losses. The Sovereign was, however, very heavily damaged. The Coalition used this to perform another strike on us, and I will not exclude that they are in some way cooperating with Gallia. Their fleet was made up of three destroyers and some strike craft. We were completely disabled again, but our fleet, then reinforced by a Crayter carrier and a Crecy, the HMS New Hampshire, managed to defeat the enemy fleet. At least two of their destroyers were disabled.

Only a few hours after that, a mixed SCRA and RHA fleet, including some of the few ships that had routed from Dublin, broke into Cambridge. With the Sovereign being tugged to Southampton, I took command over the Matilda and headed there with a fleet also including a Council battleship, the HMS New Hampshire and a Kusari Exile destroyer, besides some strike craft. The enemy fleet was made up of four Typhoon-class and a Hessian Scylla-class, besides strike craft. They received help from no other than the Gallic Royal Navy mid battle, specifically the RNS Lyon, but at the time the tide was already heavily on our side. All enemy capital ships were disabled, and none of our own.

On September the 5th I was patrolling Omega-3, in command of the Thunderer. I encountered a Hessian fleet consisted of a Jormugand and a Vidar at Aland Shipyard, who were quickly joined by a Molly Scylla called "Bold and Determined", which, surprisingly, launched from Aland. I performed a quick tactical retreat to the Gwent, where I waited for reinforcements. I was joined by the Coventry, a Crecy class, and a mercenary light bomber. We proceeded to Aland and met the enemy fleet there. The Molly was directly at Aland, while the rest of them were about 9K down the lane to the Omega-7 Gate, which we used to disable the Molly quickly. Right before their hull would be breached, they docked with Aland. As we prepared to head towards the Hessians, a large Corsair fleet appeared on our right. It was consisted of a Murmillo, a Praefect, an Imperator and some strike craft. I halted the attack and did my best to manipulate the Hessians on our side, but they offered their services to the Corsairs instead, as if they didn't notice that the Corsair fleet was larger than that of either of us, and that it would defeat them once we were defeated. Fortunately the Corsairs refused, possibly due to vanity or ethnic hatred. Then they attacked us. At that moment the Hessians suddenly switched sides, and we defeated the Corsair fleet together, also having received some reinforcements. Their Praefect and strike craft managed to escape. I let the Hessians go to Omega-5 later, as it was what I had promised if they supported us. I kept my promise not only because of honour, but because I wished them to support us again and, hopefully, stop breaking into our territory. Interestingly, Aland did not fire upon the Hessians during this battle.

On September the 6th the Sovereign was finally repaired. It was just in time, as our scouts had detected a Gallic fleet amassing in Magellan. Reinforced by the HMS Fortitude, a Dunkirk, and the LNS Hampshire, an Archer, we headed there. The enemy fleet consisted of two Valors, two Obstinates and some strike craft. One of the enemy Valors had only basic armour, and was consequently disabled fast. The rest of their fleet, possibly suffering morale damage, did not coordinate properly and was also disabled. Our scouts defeated the enemy strike craft. This time the Sovereign survived the battle and returned to her usual posting at Birmingham.

On September the 8th, I did a patrol of Omega-3 with the Thunderer again, and met a Hessian Vidar-class, the Arryxa, at Freeport 1. With Captain Steiner keeping them pinned, it took us seconds to disable the ship.

The next week was the quiet before the storm. On September the 16th, a force of two Hessian Vidars and a bomber of theirs intercepted one of our Dunkirks, the Fortitude, while on a patrol in Omega-3, overwhelmed her and disabled her. In command of the Thunderer, I prepared a revenge fleet that included another battleship, the Monarch, and a bomber. We triumphed over the Hessians and only their bomber managed to escape.

During the battle I received news of a Gallic fleet assembling in Manchester, so I headed to the Sovereign via a shuttle, with the fleet. I received reinforcements and our fleet consisted of three Dunkirks, including the Sovereign, the Monarch and the Exeter, as well as a wing of four bombers. We spotted a lone Valor outside Birmingham, which we attacked, but that Valor was quickly reinforced by a fleet of another Valors, two Obstinates and, which is very noteworthy, a Corsair Murmillo named CNS Yoshimura, which supported the GRN, flew in their formation and was not fired upon by them at any time. The battle started well for us, with a Valor down, but the tide turned as we lost the Exeter. The other Valor was then destroyed, but after that the Sovereign was overwhelmed by the Murmillo and an Obstinate, with another Obstinate keeping the Monarch too far to help. I watched them all focus on the Monarch from my burning wreck. Nevertheless, we still had bombers remaining, who managed to disable the Murmillo. The Obstinates, fearing the same fate, withdrew.

The Sovereign was repaired, again, before yesterday, which was September the 20th. Yesterday, news of another mixed SCRA and RHA fleet in Omega-3 were received. I decided to assemble the fleet at the Norfolk. However, before we arrived there and even received enough ships, scouts reported that the enemy had entered Cambridge. I switched the RVP to the Cambridge Gate in New London, but my orders either arrived late or not at all, as the HMS Pickle, a Churchill, entered Cambridge instead. They were caught by many enemy strike craft, two SCRA destroyers and a Hessian Vidar-class, and engaged by all enemy strike craft and at least one destroyer. The Pickle was quickly disabled. I could not help them, as we were outnumbered and my ship would also be disabled, for no purpose. I retreated to Dover. There I received news that the enemy had entered New London, so I retreated to the Winchester Station mine field in Manchester, prepared to face them there should they penetrate quicker than the fleet could gather. The situation was saved by our allies, the Liberty Navy. We received an Overlord, an Interdictor, albeit both worryingly thinly armoured, and some strike craft. Their expeditionary fleet sent us an Archer-class from Southampton. The captain of the Archer, however, was impatient and, instead of staying at Dover, where it was safe, headed to us before we were prepared to move to New London in case they were ambushed. And they were. All SCRA ships engaged them and, the very moment we, in a great rush to deliver them, jumped to New London, disabled them completely. The enemy, however, avoided battle with our fleet and retreated to Cambridge. We managed to catch a Molly Hellhound-class gunboat, which was disposed of by a Bounty Hunter Orca-class gunboat called the "Tempest". At that moment we were joined by Captain Steiner in his Templar. Oddly, a Liberty Rogue fighter passed by, but never took part in the battle. We then proceeded to the Cambridge Gate, whose other side he scouted. He reported that the whole enemy fleet was there, so we jumped. The Bounty Hunter was worried for his safety and wanted to leave, as expected of a soldier for pay, but the fact that it was him who shot the first enemy ship down, some fighter, probably encouraged him to stay. Enemy losses continued to pile up when we were joined by a Kusari Exile destroyer that came from New London. The Overlord, LNS Texan Hospitality, although thinly armoured, proved to be a great asset, as they triumphed over the Vidar. The Interdictor, called the LNS Icarus, on the other hand, was apparently not only a new and barely reinforced ship, but also had an inexperienced captain. Nevertheless, they served as an exceptional bait, and allowed my ship, the Sovereign, to surprise them and destroy them with a salvo of two heavy mortars. The other Typhoon-class tried to escape and cloak, but we disrupted their cloaking device and the Kusarian their cruise drive. They hull, too, was not made to withstand two heavy mortars at once. The remaining enemy strike craft retreated. Besides the Archer and a 5th Liberty Navy Fleet fighter, which we lost in the ending phases of the battle, we had no other losses.

After that we checked the lanes, confirmed them as clear and, as the Sovereign was, surprisingly, not even damaged this time, I decided to do a patrol of Omega-3 with Captain Steiner. All the lanes were clear, but when we were about to return to Cambridge, we spotted a Zoner Nephilim-class, called the Unity, at Freeport 1. I explained the captain his law violation in detail and demanded a fine of two million credits, which they paid, but they did not want to leave Bretonian space, so, despite paying the fine, they were still present illegally. After many desperate pleads, I was forced to attack the Unity and destroyed her. I trust that a report about this to the CoF should be an urgent matter.

This report is about the action that took place in Dublin on Friday, and about a new, mysterious installation we discovered there.

I was called to the Northeastern Independent Gold field by some BMF miners who were being harassed by a Corsair gunboat, in fact of Gaian production, but belonging to their Brotherhood. I arrived there in my Challenger. I managed to stall them until I received the reinforcements of a couple of bombers and a fighter. We attacked the enemy and had some initial advantage, but then another gunboat joined them, this one a solid Imperator-class. The timely arrival of the Homeros from New London, a Churchill-class, saved us. Instead of focusing at them, the enemy fired at us instead, so the Churchill was able to maintain fire at the two gunboats unhindered. The Claymore fell first and we finished off the Imperator later. We had one casualty, which was the fighter. I think that it was a mercenary, but it was in the heat of the battle and I do not remember clearly.

When the dust settled, I noticed an odd station right next to that Paddy-bloke's pub, called "Armed Forces Outpost". It flashed white to me and did not allow me to dock. Captain Steiner, who was one of the bombers and in command of the operation, was sure that it was not ours, so he told me to report this. Information can be found in the attachment below. I myself am confused by this, and awaiting orders.
