Good evening, DIS.

A couple of days ago, we had quite the visiting parties to Bretonia. First off, some freelancing mercenaries that were dispatched with extreme prejudice. Needless to say, that isn't the main point of this encounter. The main point is the Hessian war party within Cambridge, as you can see by my sensor readings and chat logs. They should not be there, even if they were supposedly escorting the IMG.

Moving on, another raid at Planet New London. Our heavy assets were no where in sight, with our defense being comprised of snubcraft only, and I was forced to eject due to a cruiser Light Mortar after destroying two of their snub support. Their forces were pushed back in the end.

On a curious sidenote, Lieutenant's Rick Holden's feelings about my person are not reciprocated.

With regards,

Good evening, DIS.

A single report of the sighting of a xeno signature in the Omega-3 system alerted me in the late hours. Proceeding and calling upon assistance of a secondary fleet bomber pilot, we found a nomad life-form comparable to a cruiser class vessel near the Cambridge jump-hole in Omega-3. It attempted a mental attack and with that failure, it got particularly enraged when it saw I was immune to it, and in hindsight it was a very poor choice. Gaian vessels appeared near the end of the engagement to witness our standard ROE regarding xeno signatures in Bretonia.

That is all,

Good evening, DIS.

An Oracle decided to visit New London. The report came in and since I know very well what they are, I decided to hunt it down. Another one, not the one that alerted me, exited the Leeds jump-hole and started to talk. Something they specialize.

He tried to weave words, finding only the energy fluctuation of my weapons as the answer.

One point in question, he mentioned an Admiral Victor Steiner, citing laws. While I am confident Lieutenant Victor Steiner has nothing to do with this debacle, an investigation is required. Also an update on the allowed organizations within Bretonia, since they are known nomad followers, much like the Commune.

I am certain the National Council of Malta can update the Bretonian Government on that regard.

Without anything to add,

Good evening, DIS.

A massive Gaul/Infected/Commune attack occurred on the Southampton Shipyard. The early warning system worked and soon we had a mixed force to defend it, comprised of primary Fleet proper, Liberty Navy, Bounty Hunters and Gaians. On our front, we had heavy assets in the form of a Valor with two cruisers alongside several snubcraft, mainly composed of Aoi/Infected forces.

While we amassed forces, curiously, an artifact smuggler was caught and as it tried to run away, it was destroyed. The BPA will enjoy having it's signature.

For the battle, we had to use the gift of patience and whatever advantage the terrain allowed us. We were without heavy support, with our capital class vessels being a Crecy from the Merchant Navy and a Liberty Expansionary Fleet Battlecruiser. We did however had gunboats from the Death Wing Bounty Hunter Group and from the Gaians which we knew would be the prime target for the enemy snubcraft.

Time was of the essence, and as the enemy attacked, the rule of day was to delay their snubcraft attack in order for our bomber wing and our cruisers to engage and destroy their heavy assets as fast as we could. One by one, the gaul capital forces went down. However, that plan took its toll on our side with three gunboats being lost to the snub concentrated fire.

With that dealt with, our snubcraft engaged theirs and the battle split from outside the Southampton kill-zone. Unfortunately, Lieutenant Steiner and Admiral O'Brian were shot down, with the S&R teams reporting a successful retrieval operation minutes ago. Either way, their vessels were pinned, alone and were utterly destroyed.

I suggest a word to the Gaians and the Death Wing for their actions today. A word of acknowledgment.

That is all,

This report is about the failed Gaian Guard siege of Faroe Shipping Platform.

I took the HMS Isaac Brock on a patrol to Omega-3, from Planet New London via Cambridge. Freeport 1 was surprisingly clear, but when I checked Sprague, I found two Gaian Guard Corvos firing at Faroe Shipping Platform. One was called the Sphyraena, and the other the Vulpes. I asked them to stop, and the Vulpes complied, but the Sphyraena did not seem to heed, nor answered to the Vulpes' hails. I attempted to push the Sphyraena by ramming it, but that brought the ship in sight of Faroe's platforms, and it was destroyed. After a long argument, though mostly polite even by our standards, I managed to persuade the Vulpes to leave.

There were two reasons whoever was on the comms of the Vulpes said why the Gaians besieged it. One was that they desperately needed supplies to fight the Gallic war, and intended to steal them by boarding the station, and the other was Faroe's name, having their rumoured about and presumably lost system in mind.

As of other incidents, I also saw a Zoner Aquilon near Sprague, but I was too busy to deal with them or remember the name of the ship at the time. I will be sure to properly handle them if I meet them next time, should something else more important not occupy me.
