Gentlemen

Today LtCdr Cuttingham, BPA) Drake scott and myself took part in a patrol in Omega-3. Our first order of business was dealing with a few Zoners who reckoned they had the right and permission to carry sythetic Marijuana (2000 units of it) into Bretonia, this was later found to be true as they had applied for the permit but not been given it. While this was going on i recieved a message from an MND agent requesting permission to Enter o-3 on security grounds. I did ask on whose authority did he enter with, but was disappointed when he replied none and that he was acting independently. He arrived via the Omega-5 jump Hole and we spoke outside of Sprague while Cuttingham and Scott escorted the Zoners to New London.
The conversation followed the lines of national security and the corsair situation. Our Rheinland friends seem to be concerned about the state of O-3, they argue that should O-3 be overrun, Omega-7 would be next. They are also concerned that with the war taking its toll in the north, the BAF and BPA) didn't have the manpower to keep Rheinland citizens safe. Cuttingham (who had returned with mr scott at this point) and myself assured our Friend from the MND that the admiralty board was taking the apropriate steps in ensuring the safety of all, hence why we were there. I did get the Impression that the agent wasn't acting totaly alone or without orders, but i have no proof to support this. After a few more reassurances and a quick trip through the trade lanes our MND friend was escorted from Bretonia.

I feel it woth noting that Mister Cuttingham was most surprised at my desicion to allow this fellow into Bretonia, he did ask ''Why is there a Rheinland spy asking to come spy on us? Why are we letting this happen?'' None the less he proved to be most valuable, as did officer scott.

The Corsairs have been desperately trying to dislodge us from Omega-3 during the last three days, but they were unsuccessful every time. Their attempts culminated yesterday.

As usual, I stepped at the head of the fleet, in command of the HMS Thunderer. Our fleet consisted of two Dunkirks and two Templars at first, while the enemy sported two Murmillos, two Imperators and two Titans. Despite outnumbering us slightly, the enemy appeared to be suffering from a lack of organization, which made it possible for us to repel their attack without losses. We managed to destroy both Murmillos and both Titans. I must commend the service of the HMS Beagle, Lieutenant Commander Arthur Cuttingham and officer Paul Hastings from the Police Authority.

After that we received reinforcements, so our fleet consisted of three Dunkirks, a Crecy and a small wing of bombers and fighters. The enemy managed to accumulate a fleet for what I believed was their final attack, and that force consisted of three Murmillos, two Praefects and one Titan. They were as organized as the last time, so it was not a challenge for us to stop them again, this time destroying their whole fleet. For this battle I must commend the bravery of Mason McFire, a reservist pilot who exposed himself to great risk and sacrificed his Challenger, when he crashed it, full of explosives, into a Praefect, which was thus destroyed. Fortunately he managed to eject before setting course, and not only that, but he also already flew with us in a new Challenger during the next battle, apparently not at all dismayed by the prior event. Besides his ship, we lost no other.

The next battle finally was the last one. Our fleet, which received another Crecy, formed up at Sprague again to meet this final assault. This time the Corsair fleet comprised four Murmillos and two Praefects, but only one fighter. Confident, we headed forth, with the Thunderer on the lead. Our ship was the first to come under fire, but we fired back, and so did the fleet. This show of power prompted the Corsairs to keep distance, despite outnumbering us in battleships. While our destroyers were keeping their cruisers at bay, I ordered a general attack on the CNS Apocalypse, a Murmillo. However, the Elephant, under command of Admiral McIntire, appeared to already be employed with pursuing a Praefect, the Cor Raider, while Captain Nicole Brennan considered it a wiser choice to cruise upon the CNS Murmillo instead -- and that without cruise disruptor support. While her target got away, the Thunderer was overpowered by the focused fire of three battleships. At least Admiral McIntire managed to destroy the Cor Raider a couple of seconds before that. Brennan then decided to charge amidst the three battleships, with the Murmillo behind her ship, which, of course, resulted in the Enterprise being overpowered as well. The Black Prince, a Crecy captained by Commander Henry Talbot, who had been trying to divert the fire from the Enterprise, managed to attract it now, which rendered his ship disabled. This left the Elephant and the Pride, a Crecy, alone to face four battleships and a cruiser, aided by only three bombers and a fighter.

Now, however, McIntire redeemed his prior mistake. The CNS Apocalypse was destroyed rather quickly, having already been damaged heavily by the Thunderer's turrets. Other Corsair battleships fell one by one, in the same manner, having been forced into a ranged battle while under fire by our bombers. In the end, the whole Corsair fleet was destroyed, with us losing two Dunkirks, a Crecy and a Challenger. I must also commend the captain of the Pride for keeping the remaining Praefect away from the Elephant, and even managing to destroy it, despite sporting anti-snub armament and only one light mortar.

We were victorious, but that does not mean that we do not have to fix the discovered problems within our ranks. Concerning Captain Brennan, Admiral Wildcat has already complained to me about her disobedience and recklessness, and I believe that our lack of reaction might encourage it to continue.

A camera drone was present during the two last battles, and you will find the confirmation of my words in its recording.

Good day, it's been quite a time since I wrote something to the High Command. Newer events in the Omega-3 systems have proven our strengh is not weak and we will defend our homeland with all our might until the end. The Corsairs tried to invade Omega-3 we set up our defence line around Planet Sprague, lead by Admiral Sir George Hall our foces managed to defend three waves of Corsair attackers. Our light wing pinned down their bombers and anti-fighter craft, so our main fleet could take out their Battleships. They brought four "Murmillo" Battleship class vessels followed by a decent amount of fighters and bombers and a lone gunboat. I was commanding the HMS Black Prince the crew inspired by the words of Admiral Hall did their best to defend her Majesty's space, we mainly attacked them with our TL-4a "Light Mortar" Antimatter Cannon, our task was to pin down their Battleships from the distance and distract them to attack us. We managed to bring down all of their forces and stop the attack for now. In last case we suffered a few losses from our fleet, we lost atleast three of our Battleships during the defence of Omega-3, the crew of the Thunderer, Caledonia and the Beagle gave their life for Bretonia their names will not be forget they are true Soldiers of the Queen and the Armed Forces, God will safe their Souls! We will be ready for more and stand until the end! Onward to final Victory!

God save the Queen!

Ladies and Gentlemen

I bring word from New London. Today at aproximtly 5 Bells outside of New london, LNS-Homeland was spotted hauling 67 Nomad fighter remains, 51 Nomad gunboat remains, 1Nomad artifact (defunct), 2 Jump Hole generator parts and 19 Drone remains.

Upon questioning him, he claimed that he was trying to sell these items and that he aquired them from the remains of another ship that was destroyed in unknown circumstances. The captain seemed unaware of their importance or danger. I was discussing the transfer of the cargo (as well as establishing where it came from) when Saphire raven and a large group of Auxsian's showed up. They made the offer that if I was to allow them to have the cargo they would be more than willing to deliver it to a location of the Admirals choosing, at a time that suited them. Since I lacked the means to move all the cargo at once i was inclined to accept their offer. However I was not willing to allow the Auxsian's access to the Generators, thus i insisted that i take them. They argued that they would look after all the cargo and that i had nothing to worry about.
Homeland then dropped the cargo (for whatever reason) which was quickly picked up by a fellow named 'Balados' who also began to run. He was pursued by Raven, who promptly killed him and reclaimed the cargo.

Upon her return, she declared the cargo property of Auxesia, and brought the drone remains of Homeland for a price of 15 Million. Alas, i do not think we will be seeing them again. I seized the Jump hole parts and Artifact. Which are now safely abord the Harlow awaiting transfer to the Amoury.

Good day, during major events within Omega-3 I decided to patrol the near Stations Sprague, as a call from Auxesian Capital Vessel Andraste reached us which asked for a escort out of Bretonian space into Inverness. I ordered to set course to Southampton New London system, as we arrived the Andraste was still moored to Southampton drydocks. It wasn't that much of a long trip it was very quiet to be honest. Anyways we arrived in Cortez and the Andraste set course to Inverness Jumphole and we returned to Manchester. This ends my report!

God save the Queen!

Good day BAF DIS,

Today it was a very long day. I should post now 3 reports, or 4? 2? I don't remember. Let's try to start to the beginning.
What should be a small alien hunt operation spotted in New London became in more troubles to more fronts. My squadron, composed by Lieutenant Commander Victor Steiner and Ensign Tommy Mellowny were online in Cambridge for patrol purpose. We detected an anomaly in New London and a suspect Zoner, identified as "(SolarR[X]-Sunray.1" has started to talk diplomatically to the weird entity, cloaked near Planet New London. When an auxesian codenamed "A/)-Hurricane" arrived we start the researchs of the anomaly that it started to go in various Bretonia spaces, altrough I had requested containment units that didn't arrive in time. During the research here's the first "battle":

Battle of New London report

After this encounter "Hurricane" returned on the research of the anomaly while I divided my squadron for another problem.

Battle of New London report

The researches continued for a bit of time... during this a BMM called help in Dublin system. I sent my entire squadron to help him and I continued the researchs alone with Hurricane.

Battle of Dublin report

Meanwhille we noticed that the suspect zoner was almost always near the anomaly. Suspecting that she was some relations about nomads I stopped her and checked her ship. All regular, if not trying to go to her destination, Baffin, through Leeds System, very dangerous for Zoners too. I escorted her in the secure zone and let her go over the Cortez Jump Gate. "Hurricane" managed to spot the anomaly and stopped it in Magellan system. It was a "Irra", a Nomad big enough like our cruisers. We blocked it until the arrival of the reinforcements and we managed to destroy it. There weren't any big battles after this (besides a Gallic Royal Navy pilot, spotted in Magellan and escaped in Leeds).

Good day BAF DIS,

About a few minutes ago, I had been sipping my tea when I heard a distress signal coming from the Dublin Jumpgate in New London. It appeared that Lieutenant Commander Victor Steiner had been dispatched to help a BMM trader who was being harassed by a Corsair agent, named Luciano Vasquez. I ordered Steiner to go in after the poor trader was killed, and they fought ferociously until Steiner was hit with a mine. I secured Steiner's lifepod in my cargo hold, and attacked the Corsair. Now, what happened shortly after I engaged him was not too clear. I believe instead of being killed by me he hit himself with his own mine. I think he set it off on purpose, though it may have also been accidental. Anyways, I hope you are all well! Tallyho I do say!

Target down

Good day,

I started my patrol at Suffolk. My fighter's fuel tanks , filled up slightly surpassing the limits assured me an easy and enjoyable flight. I did assume the responsability of flying alone, being perhaps a good way to return on my duty after the rank upgrade.
On the calmy way, the haulers showed up as the sun shines every morning, with a grateful smile but not forgetting their duty. I crossed a total count of four haulers. One in Dublin, enjoying his Ore minnery, two at the doors of New London, feeding Isle of Skye with the base's necessities and one of them hauling Gin to Omegas, who's I escorted out of the system after a relatively short talk.
The last one, being surprisingly more uncommunicative, leaving New London to Manchester on a fast duty hauling Med-Stasis bands.
My patrol finished there. It was time to move to Wellington for some tea.

Good day.

Lieutenant Murphy reporting,

Today I got a distress call about a Molly squadron lurking in New London. Commander Talbot, myself and some freelancers organized a search pattern to try and pinpoint their location. One of the freelancers - [BG]-Storm.II managed to track them to Dublin and relayed the location - the jumphole to London. I did my best to get there as soon as I could but by the time I was there he was already under fire so I jumped in to assist him without any delay. We quickly took down one of their fighters - John Lass, but my wingman's fighter was already heavily damaged and the other Molly managed to take him down soon after. She didn't manage to escape though, even if she had a few attempts in doing so.

Allies	Casualities	Surviors	Enemies	Casualities	Surviors
2	-1	1	2	-2	0
[BG]-Storm.II BAF\|Lt.Thomas.Murphy	[BG]-Storm.II	BAF\|Lt.Thomas.Murphy	[M]-John.Lass [M]-Blodwyn,O'Driscoll.	[M]-John.Lass [M]-Blodwyn,O'Driscoll.

This was a good test for my new ship and I believe I was more efficient in dealing with the Molly fighters due to it's superior agility over the Templar. I am eager to see how it will perform against the Titans of the Corsair raiding parties.
