LEEDS SYSTEM - We apologize that we have not been reporting anything from the Western Front lately, but that is because all has been quiet there -- until yesterday. If you have ever been annoyed by that silly neighbour who had started learning French for whatever reason, you can annoy him back now and tell him that all of his effort has been very much for nothing.

Yes, for your silly neighbour's misfortune, we are finally back to the subject of Leeds and with good news. As you might guess from the headline.
Two days ago the Gallic Royal Navy issued the notice of imminent destruction to a freelancer installation built by Planet Waterford and approved by Her Majesty's Government, the SEI Delta Base. The crew, among which there were civilians, were ordered to stay aboard the station so they could be arrested and die of starvation in a prisoners of war camp. It is more likely that, however, the Gallic command intended to shorten their misery and blaze them right away, along with their station. A humane lot, the Gallic Royal Navy.
Meanwhile, the SEI patriotically informed our Armed Forces, who mustered a fleet at once and summoned allies. The two foes finally met yesterday.

Our lads report that it was bleak at the start. The SEI resourcefully put up significant defenses in record time, but the Gauls used the cowardly tactics of staying out of the guns' reach and showering our lads with missile fire. A few fighters and bombers were lost to that.
Nevertheless, our Armed Forces and our allies stayed firm despite that, and sallied out suddenly. The Gallic vanity was apparently too powerful to let them expect that someone would attack them, so their forces routed in disarray. Every one of them ran for their own life, abandoning their comrade on the battlefield. This made it easy for our lads to defeat them one by one. The enemy losses totaled to several strike craft, four battlecruisers and three entire battleships, which our capital fleet paid with the loss of one carrier, the HMS Black Claymore, due to a malfunction of equipment. This is what a Gallic Primary Fleet captain has been recorded saying to her subordinates from the Secondary Fleet amidst the general rout:


Although now it is glaringly clear that the Gallic Royal Navy can in fact be defeated, a question is still asked: do Gallic pilots select to follow such superiors naturally, and for how much longer will they?
