The flight started in Tau-23. We received a distress call that a Outcast Gunboat was spotted. My Cougar was ready so I flew as quickly as possible to see our ships engaged by the Outcast Gunship.
With the swift moves of the Cougar, the enemy was vaporized, including another Outcast vessle.
On our way to Leeds, we've met a Liberty Gunboat which was not so nice to us, and opened fire on one of our ships. He was dealt quickly, and without mercy.
In Leeds, we met an Colonial Cruiser and a Bretonian Destroyer. They were a bit harder. One was killed, other one escaped. The same gunboat we destroyed miraculously showd up, and we killed it yet again!
We advanced to Planet Leeds where we spotted quite a few enemies. A BAF, A Colonial, a Liberty Dreadnought and an Kusari Exile. All were declared hostile, and engaged on sight. Our group took no losses, while we got rid of all the scum of the universe.
Aujourd'hui, I was asked to support a raid group in Leeds, and so fell into line with them near Planet Leeds in a Cougar. We've pretty much 'cleaned' the space from the Tau-31 gate to the surroundings of Planet Leeds successfully from any Sirian, especially Bretonians. We suffered no losses at all, and hit the remaining defenders hard, who dared to face our group without bending down to the crown. However, since Leeds was pretty much controlled by us at some point. We decided to give the bordering system Magellan a visit, to see if the Libertonians guard their borders well. They didn't. We mostly met libertonian traders and miners, which we exploited for our good. After a while we returned to Leeds, when a Bretonia Battleship dared to not let us re-enter the Leeds jumphole. He was an easy prey as you can see in the visual attachments.
Afterwards, when the way was free, we returned to Leeds and sneaked into Dublin for a short while, until we noticed that everything was hiding from us. Anyhow, back in Leeds we cought a lonesome Council Battleship near the Glasgow Outpost. Not quite a challenge for us either.
In the end, we decided to take a well-earned break at the Carcassonne. We've served the crown well today.

Bonjour!!!
Yesterday was again full of adventures.
I started my patrol in Tau-44. I was flying around Tau jump holes, Minato Harbor and my last checkpoint was Singapore Shipyard. But near Singapore, I found Armed Forces Challenger. Pilot tried to kill me, but when she was loosing, she flew to Java in Tau-23. There were waiting Bounty Hunters and Colonial republic ships. Bounty Hunter opened fire, but he couldn't shoot me down. After a while Colonial ships joined fight. Me and one Royal officer against Armed Forces Challenger, two Bounty Hunters ships, class Manta and against Colonial ships class Nyx. Me and Officer died in 10 minutes, but patrols brought me to Tau-44.
Today. Again patrol in Tau-44 and I found Freelancer intrudor. He wanted buy Mining ship in IMG shipyard Singapore. I escorted him back to Java where Java security agent, miss McCarthy, helped him. When I was flying back to Tau-44 I found near Cali Colonial Cruiser. I called for reinforcements. Reaver mercenary, called Fatboy, helped me with Cruiser. Cruiser docked on Harris planet in Tau-31. I paid 7,000,000 credits for help. In Tau-23 we found Outcasts. Sabre and Storta class. Sabre was destroyed by Fatboy and Storta ran to Alpha.
Ahhh. I forgot. I found again blue monster called Nomad. Java security agent miss McCarthy is cooperating with this blue monsters. This one was more faster, then my Lynx. It ran away.
And I would like receive new orders about Bounty Hunters. Kill them or leave them alive??? Same for "Nomads" kill them or leave them???
At my request, I was given the privilege to write a report concerning the today's events. Specifically, the surgical strike attempt on Bretonia's economy with the support of the capital fleet from the independent fleet as well as a zoner which I believe, was assisting Bretonian logistics
Allow moi to get into details...
As I reached Dublin system, the fleet was already organized and on it's way to raid the system and cleanse in the name of the crown.
There, I formed up with monsieur Pauline Valence et madame Aurelia Landreau.
We decided that the capital fleet has the situation under control so we went to Leeds on a reconnaisance survey.
At first, we met no hostility, but a zoner transport got our eyes.
Scans revealed he was carrying basic alloys, interrogation revealed he was carrying it to New Castle, when asked to drop them, he told that he'll take them to Leeds instead. Mockering attitude and lack of cooperation implied that he was supplying a bretonian installation.
Because of this, at the orders of Monsieur Valence, we opened fire and took down the target, which was identified as [NCC]TC|Cadiz A variety of my equipment got damaged at the situation in Dublin, including my radio and mon gun camera, because of this, I am not able to provide you with any evidence, but, Monsieur Valence is an eye witness of the zoner in question. He may provide additional data, if needed.
In the meantime, our main force made it's way to Leeds, the fight intensified. Bretonia sent reinforcements, mostly composed of Mercenaries. Seems like they cannot maintain the defence of their borders on their own... Our capital fleet was either damaged or forced to retreat.
Moi et Monsieur Valence remained and engaged in skirmishing tactics which were partially succesful, the sirian mercenaries were unorganized and didn't cooperate well with the main enemy force. They even started shooting back at their allies.
In the meantime, a Gallic Royal Police agent arrived to lend us support, his help was greatly appreciated as he allowed us a retreat path.
A notable mercenary group identified as SMP appeared. They were a little more organized than the others, though nothing that could tear me apart, to mon surprise.
The fight turned to our disadvantage, we were forced to retreat to Edinburgh, Monsieur Valence got his ship severely damaged on the way, but moi et the Royal Police agent made it safely and reached Battleship Villeneuve. A liberty carrier commanded by a suicidal captain attempted to follow us. He was no match for the superior firepower of the Villeneuve and thus, he was forced to retreat.
In conclusion, things didn't go exactly as planned, from my point of view at least, but we fought honourably as gauls. Organization, Skill, et Discipline backed us. Moreover, the bretonian side didn't go unscathed as well.

A log of yesterdays encounter with a Zoner, it makes me think that we should consider a different approach towards these people, considering their tendency to smuggling and other activities that may or may not harm our war effort to certain degrees.
Quote:GRN|Pauline.Valence: Sirian vessel, cut your engines.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Intercepting target
GRN|Pauline.Valence: What is this cargos destination Zoner?
RNS-Circaete: Vedro: Circaete reporting. All system green.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Scarborough
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Newcastle
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I'm a free non corporate vessel
Aurelien.Charbonneau.: Kabachok: All systems are ready for scanning.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: And who owns this base?
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Forgive my prudence, mon monsieur, but what the purpose of that cargo be?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I don't know and is no of my interest officer
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I'm only carryng alloy
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: It's a bussiness
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: The Zoner Confederation is totally neutral in this war between Bretonia and Gallia
GRN|Pauline.Valence: So you do not know whom you are working for?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I'm working for the NCC
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: That excuse grows old, I dare say, mon monsieur
GRN|Pauline.Valence: That is bad, considering that you are just putting yourself right into the vision we have of smugglers.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Now cut your engines.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Smuggler?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: oh sorry
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Exactly.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: With basic alloy cargo?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Don't make me laugh
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Is a basic commodity sir
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Supplying a more than possible Bretonian base in Newcastle...
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Basic alloys are a necessary part of ship building, ships that could be used against the kings army.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: A base which belongs to our enemies.... sure counts as smuggling for us
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I'm a non corporate vessel sir
GRN|Pauline.Valence: This is of no importance.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: That doesn't mean no one can hire you, does it?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Take a look at the situation there.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Sir, a vessel of my affiliation had a problem this morning in this same place
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: and was detroyed
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Well... *static* Damn... I think the *static* comms were damaged *static* in the last *static*
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: *Radio silence*
GRN|Pauline.Valence: So a smart person wouldnt do the same mistake as the other one?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: a formal request has been sent to the GRN HQs
GRN|Pauline.Valence: As much as I dislike slaughtering civilians, I will do so should you force me to.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Now, who owns the base you are going to deliver your goods to?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: and I suggest you that don't make us to put other
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: This is a violation of the civilian rights
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You are in no position to suggest me anything.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Nor are you to lecture me about rights.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Of course I'm in position
GRN|Pauline.Valence: The only right that holds any weight is the right spoken by the king and his people.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Are you going to shoot me?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: If I must.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: I will ask you once more, who owns the base you supply?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: To shoot a civilian neutral vessel?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: again?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I don't know, one more time
GRN|Pauline.Valence: A civilian neutral vessel, suspected of supplying the crowns enemies.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: That is something we can and will not tolerate.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I only follow orders of my uppers sir
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I'm only a NCC Trader Chief
GRN|Pauline.Valence: And your superiors are here to solve this problem for you?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: It does not appear to be that way.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: You can write a request to Monsignor Richelieu
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Minister of Economy and Trade
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Do not waste my patience this lightly.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I'm only doing mmy job officer
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Waste your patience?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: And that is a most beneficial thing to do.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Write a request to NCC
GRN|Pauline.Valence: I will not.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Ok, it's your problem sir
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: but I have a civilian rights
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You however, will tell me which base you are going to supply with these goods.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Scarborough
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Scarborough Satation
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Newcastle
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Yes, and the base is owned by?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I don't know sir
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: And i don't have to know it
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You do.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Playinng dumb wont get you far.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: We are in a block positions sir
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I can't go nowhere
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: And you can't go nowhere
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Exactly.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: I however you simply decide that you are a smuggler, to execute you as such.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I'm saying that I dont know who owns this station
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: You can't do this
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: because is not true
GRN|Pauline.Valence: I can.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: oh yes?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: You can?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Yes.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I don't think so
GRN|Pauline.Valence: As Marechal of the Gallic Expeditionary Force I can.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: But if you want to confront in a war council...
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Marechal or not Marechal sir
GRN|Pauline.Valence: -I am- the war council on this side of gallic space.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: you must respect the civilian rights
GRN|Pauline.Valence: A criminal does not require any rights.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: specially os the neutral vessels
GRN|Pauline.Valence: It is now your task to convince me of not being a criminal.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Yes, but i'm not a criminal
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I fyou think that I'm going try to escape
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You are, considering that you are just about to smuggle materials important for warfare to our enemies.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: and give you the opportunity of shooting me by the back
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: are very wrong
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Basic alloy
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Don't make me laugh Marechal
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Material required for ship building.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Is not nuclear devices
GRN|Pauline.Valence: A rather critical component at that.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: It's basic alloy!!
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Indeed.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: It is a -basic- component of ship building.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: *static*
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Finally! Radio must have been damaged in Dublin
GRN|Pauline.Valence: And as such you will not deliver it to the crowns enemies.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Had to manually fix it... I honestly don't even know what I did
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You should let the engineers have a look at it later.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Just shot my gun here and there and tossed a kick
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: What have I missed?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Malfunctioning equipment in hostile space appears to be a danger we can not afford.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Hopefully, it won't happen again, excuses-moi, for the incovenience
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Anyway, what about this... so called zoner?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: A smuggler I suspect.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Zoners don't smuggling sir
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Working for our enemies?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: A smuggler that has yet proven unable to defend himself against the claims I made.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: and this is a xenphobe cooment
Quenti.TaranTino: You've better improve your skills in talking and then do whatever you want.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Unable?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Exactly.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: You have the guns, sir
GRN|Pauline.Valence: That is correct.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Of course I am unable
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: If you were indeed a zoner and had nothing dirty under your sleeves...
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Our guns shouldn't trouble you
GRN|Pauline.Valence: And yet you refuse to tell me whom the base belongs to.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Non, monsieur Valence?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Your guns don't trouble me
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Only the are doing me lose a lot of time
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Even your freight papers should have a note on that.
Quenti.TaranTino: Explain me those two things and I'll do what you said.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I repeat one yime more
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: time*
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Monsieur Valence, I suggest a different approach, this zoner won't tell us anything
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: How about we have him take us to the base and we make our own opinions?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I have orders to go to Scarborough station with basic alloy
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: and take there Super alloy
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: this is all
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I don't know more
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Only orders
GRN|Pauline.Valence: And where will you deliver this super alloy to?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: The ring
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: New Berlin
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Very well
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You will drop these alloys then.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Drop?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: After you did so, you can be on your way.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Are you pirating me, sir?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Jettison it.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Because this is illegal too
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Non. We do not want to take them
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: My enterprise has been paid for it
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: you don't have rights to do this
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: and is considered piracy
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I f you want
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: I offer both of you
GRN|Pauline.Valence: I do have every right to take those cargo.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: to escort me to leeds
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Oh no, you have not
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: What? That is... blasphemous
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: you are law officers
GRN|Pauline.Valence: To deliver it to yet another Bretonian base?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: This is law sir, here, and in Kingdom of Gallia
GRN|Pauline.Valence: We are soldiers of the crown, which appears to be at war with Bretonia.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Indeed, we are no law officers.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: The very same Bretonia you are openly supporting
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Do you see the problem there?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Very well for you, soldiers, but you don't have the right to pirate me
GRN|Pauline.Valence: We are not pirating you.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: We are confiscating your cargo.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Oh yes, you are
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: We don't want you to give US your cargo
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Confiscating
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: We just want it off your ship, understood, sirian?
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Yes, the last Red Hessian that tried to pirate me said me the same
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Now, remove this cargo from your vessels cargo space.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Or face destruction.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Gentleman, I'm sending the information of this assault to my HQ
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Do so.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: and take sure that you are going to have notice of our lawyers
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Good, let it be a warning not to support Bretonia against the Crown
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Do not forget to inform them that we will not tolerate any trade with Bretonia.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: We don't support nothing!!!
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You are wasting my time now.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Get rid of the goods and be gone.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Or refuse and die.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: it is your decision.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: You can say me that I must go to other place to sell this alloy, but not to pirate me
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Yes, add murder to the piracy chargues
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Considering that the secon option that crossed your mind was Leeds that is not an option.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You will merely try to move to yet another Bretonian base.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Damn... Is every sirian like this?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Most are.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: This is crime of war against civil population!!
GRN|Pauline.Valence: They lack the cultural superiority obviously.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: They're all so redundant... so illiterate... it's not like the Bretonian Police will come and fine us after we wage war
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: with them
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: This is a barbaric assault, monsieurs
GRN|Pauline.Valence: This is war.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: A war your anchestors have started so many hundreds of years ago.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: But war have rules too
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Barbarians shall be met with equal measure, your uncooperation implies that you assist such barbarians
GRN|Pauline.Valence: And now you expect us to show mercy?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You are funny sirian.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Mercy?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Now do as ordered or my patience ends.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: Our faction fight every day against Nomad menace in the omicrons
GRN|Pauline.Valence: And there you crossed the line.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Terminate it.
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: we give our lives for the salvation of the human race
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Biensur, opening fire
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: Too bad for you, barbarian
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: and you... inhumans
[NCC]TC|Cadiz: You are the barbarians!!!
Death: [NCC]TC|Cadiz was put out of action by GRN|Pauline.Valence (Gun)
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Foolish Sirians.
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: To be met with such hypocrisy
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: An insult brought to our superior culture
GRN|Mottiere.d'Autoine: And my artistical nature
Today during my patrol in Tau 23 and around Java Station I had quite a few surprises...
First there was an Outcast pilot trying to buy something from a certain Hans von Goeben, captain of a Bretonian liner... Once I arrived the Outcast tried to flee but I managed to stop her for interogation when the poor fool opened fire on my vessel...After a brief her ship was destroyed and all cargo confiscated and destroyed...
Not long after that there was a Universal Shiping transport near Java who wanted to export ores from Tau 23. After I tiold him to leave the captain refused and I engaged the ship. The captain called out for his colonial friend for aid, who came and engaged me...Few minutes later he got destroyed by his own mine, with a little help from me of course...
After seeing his friend destroyed Universal captain tried apologizing and started running away...Sadly my ship was too damaged to pursue him so I docked at Java for quick repairs so I can get back to Guillestre...
One more thing to note, there was a strange looking bomber vessel there, apparently belonging to an organisation called The Order...My scanner read him as hostile but since I have no idea on the HC official stance on this group I did not engage...
As I undocked from Java, to my huge surprise I saw IMG vessels fighting each other for some reason...I thought HC might be interested in this...
I left for Guillestre and docked for more detailed repairs and rest....
During a regulat patrol in Tau-23, I got ambushed by 2 members of the Sammarran Raiders, who were, ofcourse, looking to earn money by trying to kill me. This was not the first time I encountered these people, so I knew what to expect. The IMG noticed the activity in the area of Java station, and various pilots assisted me in the battle against the SR pilots. This led to more attention, so after a few minutes we had a full scale battle on our hands. Things were progressing very well, until a pair of nukes locked on to my ship, and decided to end their lives together, next to my ship, and this along with my ship.
Before I even knew it. Lieutenant Fontaine picked up my pod and after barely an hour I was ordered to venture into Leeds for some economic disturbance in a new ship. Leeds was surprisingly empty, until we picked up a signature from a transport. It appeared he was running, so we chased him for about 30K. Then he halted, and started "scanning" the system. With a hold full of Helium-3, we were very sceptic about this story, but decided to hear him out. I won't bore you with the details, but his story turned out to be legitimate and we got a copy of the systems scan. At least I think it is. While waiting, he also tried to insult the Emperor and the Queen, but he was so poor at making jokes they're not worth mentioning. Scans have been included in this transmission.
Enraged by these "insults", a small party of BAF and IKN fighters were trying to hunt the transport captain down. They found us instead. I mostly gained very valueable battle experience, while Lieutenant Fontaine managed to take 1 fighter before a nuke tore apart his ship too. Damn nukes.
Bonjour *salutes*
I have recovered from my injuries, and have been cleared by the doctor aboard the Guillestre, so I decided to submit my report of the patrol by Sous-Lieutenant Kyle Reeve and me...
After Monsieur Reeve got into his new ship we went into Leeds for a patrol...We encountered the mentioned IC ship and since Reeve already reported about it I feel no need to repeat...
After the ship went away we encountered a BAF patrol acompanied by a IKN pilot...In the insuing battle they took out Reeve's ship and I was left alone against the 3 of them... They decided to give me a "fair" fight and go 1 on 1 against me...First it was the IKN pilot...We started the battle and after some time his ship was near destruction...It was then when he was releaved by one of the BAF pilots who wanted to finish my crippled ship...I was already slightly damaged and had used up some of my nanobots and shield batteries...It was not long before the Bretonian's ship was blasted away by one of my mines...It was then that the BAF admiral decided to take me on himself...My ship was already badly damaged and very low on nanobots...Despite that I was able to give his ship quite a beating...Unfortunately one of my mines malfunctioned and I exploded right after being dropped so my ship was destroyed as well...Luckily both Reeve's and my escape pods remained undetected by the enemy so we were later picked up by a GRN patrol and delivered to Guillestre in Tau 23...I will remain onboard until my new Lynx is ready and available...
After a distress call from Lieutenant Fontaine, coming from the Edinburgh system, I quickly altered course to help him with whatever caused problems. I was quickly briefed on the situation while heading to intercept. 2 Liberty Navy ships were spotted in the system and had engaged Lieutenant Fontaine.
The two Liberty Navy Pilots, Rohj Teerin and even Admiral Rachel Baker were engaged with Lieutenant Fontaine when I got on site. Fontaine was making good progress on destroying Mr Teerin, so I was ordered to engage the Admiral. Her ship was slow and inert, no match for me and my Lynx.It was a very short battle which ended in a nice explosion.
Shortly after this, Mr Teerin decided he didn't want to die today, so he negaged full evasive manouvers while trying to get away. After a long chase he managed to escape to BAF controlled space in Leeds. They learned their lesson though, I dont think they'll be coming back anytime soon. I resumed regular patrol duty afterwards. What these pilots were doing in Gallic space is unknown to me, Lieutenant Fontaine was the first on scene and may have more information on this.
Bonjour *salutes*
As Sous Lieutenant Reeve already reported, during my patrol through Edinburg I encountered something rather strange. There were two Liberty Navy ships in the system. I intercepted immediately and asked what they were doing there. Pilot named Baker said they were here as "tourists" and then to liberate theil allied occupied teritory. I managed to disrupt their cruise and hailed Reve who was in Tau 23. I engaged the other pilot named Teerin. He stood no chance and was badly damaged when Reeve arrived and took out his partner. After that he decided to flee. We followed to Tau 31 but gave up when he jumped into Leeds system. Sadly I wasn't able to uncover their true purpose in there but at least one of them was destroyed and a message was sent to them and their bretonian allies...Judging by the way Baker was adressing me I concluded she was a highly positioned officer within Liberty Navy...I must complement Sous Lieutenant Reeve for his timed arrival and swift destruction of an enemy vessel. I wish we had more pilots like him. He has made the Legion pride...
After that We returned to Edinburgh just to see 3 bretonian battleships claiming His Majesties' navy was infected and they came to "save" us all. Something rather strange, but soon they left for Dublin system...
I docked on Castres for some rest after that...

Before I even knew it. Lieutenant Fontaine picked up my pod and after barely an hour I was ordered to venture into Leeds for some economic disturbance in a new ship. Leeds was surprisingly empty, until we picked up a signature from a transport. It appeared he was running, so we chased him for about 30K. Then he halted, and started "scanning" the system. With a hold full of Helium-3, we were very sceptic about this story, but decided to hear him out. I won't bore you with the details, but his story turned out to be legitimate and we got a copy of the systems scan. At least I think it is. While waiting, he also
was slow and inert, no match for me and my Lynx.It was a very short battle which ended in a nice explosion.
