Another Kusarian, this time a Samura named Mihai.Baboa, who was trading within Bretonia, but NOT supplying exile bases, and NOT wearing the tag, thus making his presence in Bretonia illegal. I placed him under arrest, but he swore at me, refused to co-operate, demanded he be shown the law, Even though I had pointed at the Bretonian Charter of Intersteller law Several Times, SO HARD that I hurt my Finger! And then said some very strange things, before docking on our OWN Durham station, AGAIN!

Next was Bigger, who tried to break the Tau blockade and lied to me, saying he was selling his silver ore on Stokes, even though there is no market for it there, and then docked on planet leeds, even though I told him not to.

A corsair bomber named The_Punisher that activated some sort of strange cloaking device to escape:
And back to the usual old tat; an Artifact smuggler named Alex_Nevskly who tried to escape by docking on Southampton, have to have the Space Marines pick him up.

Inspector Page here, reporting in on a busy couple of days.
First off was a rather persistent Hessian Cruiser designated Red_Gothica. Before I could explain what was wrong with him being there, he fired upon me. Alongside the Cunningham of the 23rd group, the ship took heavy damage and was destroyed. However, it was found again in Newcastle, where the HMS-Diamond assisted me in putting it down again. For a third time, I found it in Manchester, but left it after ~100K drifting away from the sun. If he wants to lose himself in the void of space, let him...
Later in that patrol, after linking up with several Armed Forces pilots, scanners picked up some Order vessels. An extensive search of the system led Lieutenant Moore to find them near South Shields. I was only slightly East of there, so came to take over the questioning. Flying a Bison full of Hull Panels and a Bastet, I learned they'd been at Belfast. Collecting a fine for assisting hostile forces, I sent them on their way.
Picking up a distress signal from an IMG convoy, I found two SEKTA ships on the lanes in Omega-3. As expected, a cruiser was pirating, but strangely there was a Bison with Universal papers accompanying it. Before I could start talking, I was fired upon. An ion storm disabled me, and presumably all ships in the area.
On my way home to Cambridge from Leeds, I offered to escort a Bowex transport who was headed the same way.
Today, I first encountered a Daumann ship called Avalanche carrying Prisoners. He was cooperative, paying his fine and leaving the Prisoners on the Derby to be dealt with there.
I flew to Omega-3 to talk to a representative of Heckler & Koch who wanted permission to enter Bretonia. Although he was slightly confused as to where our territory began, it was not much compared to mine when I saw he'd brought a Rheinland Military Cruiser with a cloak to Freeport 1! It seems he was escorting a Zoner, who had since changed his intentions. I escorted the Speyer to O-7, reminding him to consider the law in future.
Another distress signal from the IMG, this time alongside one of our own Gateway transports. They'd ran into a pirate flying a Gallic ship. Despite my warnings, he seemed intent to rob Skye, the captain of the Courage, although of what I don't think anyone is sure. Either way, the pirate was destroyed, although he managed to destroy one of my Splitters. A quick trip to Caernarforn was needed...
While en route to meet a barge of Interspace's, I found a Freelancer carrying Marines. Cooperative again, the fine was paid and the Marines assigned to the Ark Royal for now.
As I've heard, Interspace seem to be working with the owner of a decommissioned yet jump-capableDunkirk. Flying at sublight speeds today, the IC|Washington was hauling a massive shipment of Helium-3 to Southampton. Lt. Cdrs. Goodman and Arland, along with our new Gallic 'guest', Ensign Savoie were also available to escort the ship. Some interference from a cloaked pair of transports (the infamous Morbius and Vispilio) in Newcastle, then a scare with two Valors detected in Leeds, but we got through to New London about as quickly as a Barge can.
Unfortunately, this is where things got messy - a large group of Indians, led by Cree and accompanied by another pirate named Scarface, our forces took some damage before backup including Sergeant MacAllister and the HMS-Leviathan arrived. Looking to keep the Barge alive for as long as possible, I left the area to pick up the Toolbox. Although I was able to get a load of repairs onto the Washington, I was quickly targeted and shot down by the pirates and their antimatter cannons. From what I heard, the barge was lost just before it arrived at Southampton and the fuel was lost. Perhaps this scheme to increase our recruit intake from IC while they jump their shipments will stop this sort of incident being repeated.
Magnus Page here, submitting my report on a major incident in the Leeds system.
The Schiehallion's systems picked up an urgent distress signal in the Leeds system while I was watching the lanes near the planet. From what I could make of it, a Bowex transport and a couple of smaller civilian ships were caught under the guns of a Valor between the Edinburgh gate and LD-14. They had tried to escape as a Gallic battlegroup came through and help up the Derby and it's forces, but to no avail as their engines had been hit.
Heading towards the scene, I recalled reading a historical report on a trick the Buccaneers had used in their war against the Crown. With no backup available and no way to take on the Valor, I dropped my entire load of cloak fuel along with most of the modular plating that could be removed. I tell you, those pirates knew how to be sneaky back then, because I produced the desired result - the same radiation signature as our Bretonian Dunkirks, set against Leeds' star to avoid visual confirmation. Veering off from the transports, the Valor was pre-occupied long enough for me to evacuate the crew of the three ships - including the Duke of Winchester's son no less! Although I was dangerously unarmoured, we got back to the planet safely.
I hear our boys stationed with the Derby managed to fight off the raid, but I believe it's time for me to rejoin the force fully. Staying outwith the ranks might be enough for dealing with arms smugglers, but we need to set an example to the Juniors and that should be with a full uniform.
This is Junior Constable Anthony DaPilla informing you of my first patrol.
I had aquired my hussar and required equipment when Mr.Page was called to escort a Samura trader who was supplying the Exiles. When testing my weaponry, I decided to buy some Advanced Splitters to replace my Purple Goddess'. On my way to Planet Leeds, I found a Lane Hacker gunboat, by the name of EboLLa, waiting at a disrupted lane. He immediately asked me to leave, but to no avail. I informed him that no criminals would be engaging in acts of thievery, within the borders of Bretonia, without consequences. The Hacker then opened fire, so I dodged the fire as best I could. His aim was rusty, but he managed to take down my shield before I could make it out of range. He then turned and seemed distracted by the lane. With this opportunity, I called for the aid of Chief Inspector Wright, in his Bretonian gunboat. With his arrival, EboLLa fleed towards the Eastern Smog Cloud. Within seconds we had caught up with him and engaged. The superior weaponry and armor of Chief Inspector Wright's gunboat was far too much for the amateur. His ship was destroyed, his pod tractored in.
To my knowledge, the Samura trader made it to his/her destination in safety, thanks to Inspector Thomas Page.
