Bonjour,
Routinely it is rather quiet on the Leeds front, especially when it comes to our own personnel. Yesterday, quite a number of Gallic pilots primarily from other departments were present in the orbit of Leeds. A Crayterian probably believed it to be a good idea to approach Leeds, bringing a Bretonian friend, but was promptly remanded to their place, i.e. not in His Majesty's realm. If there is one thing that the soldiers on the front really hate, it is snarky Sirians. It is almost as if they are bred to simply spite the hand who wants to help them out of the swamp of undignified squabbling. I have attached transscripts of this particular joker, and if someone finds them, I would not mind if you would remind them of their place.
Sadly, the Bretonians soon mustered a counteroffensive, catching us by surprise while we were vulnerable and forced us to retreat before we could regroup.
Sincèrement
Lacroix, Philomene

[12.05.2017 19:17:09] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Neutral contact, you are advised to vacate the area. There is an ongoing armed conflict.
[12.05.2017 19:17:22] Handsome.Rover: Sure?
[12.05.2017 19:17:26] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Quite.
[12.05.2017 19:17:35] Handsome.Rover: Bretonians?
[12.05.2017 19:17:55] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: *Spiteful* Bretonians.
[12.05.2017 19:18:14] Handsome.Rover: Oh. Nasty.
[12.05.2017 19:18:20] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Vermin, rather.
[12.05.2017 19:18:56] Handsome.Rover: Is Philomene your first name?
[12.05.2017 19:19:10] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Why would you need to know that?
[12.05.2017 19:19:22] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Or who would want to know that, for that matter?
[12.05.2017 19:19:47] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: An outstanding battle.
[12.05.2017 19:19:48] Handsome.Rover: Well, it's a rather rare or exotic first name.
[12.05.2017 19:19:50] MRG|Ambre.Lachance.: Phew.
[12.05.2017 19:19:51] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: What's your char's rank?
[12.05.2017 19:19:57] MRG|Ambre.Lachance.: I think capitaine
[12.05.2017 19:20:02] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Good.
[12.05.2017 19:20:14] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Come forth, citizen.
[12.05.2017 19:20:44] Handsome.Rover: I just wonder. Are there many women in Gallia with that first name?
[12.05.2017 19:21:21] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: I wouldn't know.
[12.05.2017 19:21:25] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Come forth.
[12.05.2017 19:21:47] Handsome.Rover: Where are you from, exactly?
[12.05.2017 19:22:14] MRG|Ambre.Lachance.: Was there anything else in this area?
[12.05.2017 19:22:36] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Only this one loyal citizen, apparently.
[12.05.2017 19:22:58] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: It's weird that this single Colonial was here.
[12.05.2017 19:23:39] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Very loyal, yes.
[12.05.2017 19:24:06] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: So loyal that they seem oblivious when told to step forth and face the servants to the Crown.
[12.05.2017 19:24:39] MRG|Ambre.Lachance.: That's the most bizzare thing.
[12.05.2017 19:24:47] Handsome.Rover: I came closer, that's for sure.
[12.05.2017 19:24:49] MRG|Ambre.Lachance.: They come here, with their inferior ships, to the front of the planet.
[12.05.2017 19:25:14] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Citizen, what is your name. You don't sound indigenous.
[12.05.2017 19:25:34] Handsome.Rover: Pavel Pipovic.
[12.05.2017 19:26:46] Handsome.Rover: I mean, you two have names that aren't much indigenous either.
[12.05.2017 19:26:48] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: That's a weird name.
[12.05.2017 19:27:08] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Pardon me?
[12.05.2017 19:27:30] Handsome.Rover: I doubt there are many Philomenes and Ambres on Leeds.
[12.05.2017 19:28:40] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Why would we be born on a Bretonian world?
[12.05.2017 19:28:46] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: That's just silly.
[12.05.2017 19:29:10] Handsome.Rover: But aren't there many gallic women on Leeds now?
[12.05.2017 19:29:29] Handsome.Rover: I wonder how many. Thousands? Millions?
[12.05.2017 19:29:29] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: And that relates to birth how?
[12.05.2017 19:29:46] Handsome.Rover: They could give birth!
[12.05.2017 19:30:20] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: No sh-. *She exhales.*
[12.05.2017 19:30:33] MRG|Ambre.Lachance.: I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. That world is only deserving of the lowest.
[12.05.2017 19:30:44] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Quite.
[12.05.2017 19:31:05] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Uncivilized bunch, even to each other.
[12.05.2017 19:31:13] Handsome.Rover: What would happen if a gallic woman gives birth to a bretonian child? Like, you know, that could happen.
[12.05.2017 19:31:55] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: How any Gallic would even deign...
[12.05.2017 19:33:00] Handsome.Rover: I once had a gallic woman on my ship. My age, pretty woman, hard to pronounce first name.
[12.05.2017 19:33:17] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Aaand...?
[12.05.2017 19:33:28] Handsome.Rover: She was pretty.
[12.05.2017 19:33:35] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: What a pointe.
[12.05.2017 19:34:05] Handsome.Rover: So what would happen if she gave birth to a bretonian child now?
[12.05.2017 19:34:13] Handsome.Rover: Would that child be exiled from Gallia?
[12.05.2017 19:34:25] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: I... honestly don't know.
[12.05.2017 19:34:33] Handsome.Rover: What would you do?
[12.05.2017 19:34:44] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Asphyxiate it in its sleep.
[12.05.2017 19:34:56] MRG|Ambre.Lachance.: What?
[12.05.2017 19:34:58] Handsome.Rover: You would kill your own child?
[12.05.2017 19:35:17] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Implying that I would touch these filthy... *She takes a deep breath.*
[12.05.2017 19:35:26] Handsome.Rover: Well, if they touch you?
[12.05.2017 19:35:40] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: That'd be like them, wouldn't it.
[12.05.2017 19:35:41] Handsome.Rover: Or you had too much alcohol in a club on Leeds.
[12.05.2017 19:36:03] Handsome.Rover: I mean, doesn't matter how it happened.
[12.05.2017 19:36:12] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Do I look like a harlot to you?
[12.05.2017 19:36:14] Handsome.Rover: Would you kill your own child if it wasn't fully gallic?
[12.05.2017 19:36:32] Handsome.Rover: I don't know how you look like, Madame.
[12.05.2017 19:36:40] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Evidently.
[12.05.2017 19:36:57] Handsome.Rover: Do you look like one, though?
[12.05.2017 19:37:15] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: You are walking a thin line, /boy/.
[12.05.2017 19:37:24] Handsome.Rover: I'm sitting.
[12.05.2017 19:37:35] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: A comedian. Quaint.
[12.05.2017 19:37:41] Handsome.Rover: Waiting for your answer. Would you?
[12.05.2017 19:37:51] Handsome.Rover: And you still have to tell me where are you from.
[12.05.2017 19:37:57] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: I think you should start minding your place.
[12.05.2017 19:38:27] Handsome.Rover: I mind my place.
[12.05.2017 19:38:55] Handsome.Rover: I keep my respectful distance from the fight that is about to happen. The one you warned me about.
[12.05.2017 19:39:08] Handsome.Rover: Not want to get involved in that one.
[12.05.2017 19:39:20] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Evidently not. Like a coward you sit there and spout idiocy.
[12.05.2017 19:39:36] Handsome.Rover: That's just nasty.
[12.05.2017 19:39:38] MRG|Ambre.Lachance.: Excuse me. I'm sure you can deal with this one. I was called to an outpost.
[12.05.2017 19:39:40] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Sirians. Typical.
[12.05.2017 19:39:51] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: Of course, capitaine.
[12.05.2017 19:40:11] MRG|Philomene,Lacroix: I have no time for this.

Bonsoir mes amis, Générals, Grand Maréchal.
Again I want to express my greatfullness for registering me in your ranks! Me and my proud crew are happy to serve our objective.
Next to this I have to report a recent incident in the Leeds system. Several scouts spotted hostile vessels. Their movements lead us to guess their aim was the Leeds orbit. The Bethony's long range scanners did as always a good work and detected a rather huge fleet heading towards their position. Facing this small threat a defence force was gathered to protect the Roi's territory.
The goal of the agressors seemed to be our defensive lines from begin with as they closed up to battleship Bethony. It was a group of all kinds of Sirian scum which creeped out of their holes. We detected 2 Crayter carriers and cruisers, 1 Bretonian battleship, 2 old Imperial cruisers, an Outcast destroyer as well as several snubcrafts. Due to their numbers we decided to engage them with smaller force. I took the command over 2 Secondary Fleet Valors, the R.N.S. Gascone and the R.N.S. Flandre as well as the Battlecruiser R.N.S. Duelist. Snubcrafts supported us from the Secondary Fleet aswell as from the Avant Garde. We've given the aggressors the opportunity of the first strike. Their snubcrafts were the first to move in and the first to die. The R.N.S. Duelist's gunners did a good job taking care of them. The attack of their battleships turned out to be an artillery-bombardement. Due to a few tactical mistakes on their side we destroyed their ships one by one. I apologize for letting the H.M.S battleship escape. Their fleet fell fast and was split apart when their moral was broken. Unfortunately, the Ressentiment was being heavily damaged by that scum. It is to an extend we had to board the escape ships because several decks were in fire and the hull recieved some remarkable holes. The ship will be repaired and it will take a while until me and my crew can use it again.

Topic: Destroyed Commune ship ; Destruciton of a 72nd Maltese Fleet capital ship
Description de la/des situation/-s
Situation un:
After equipping my ship and loading all necessary ammunition, I launched from the Guillestre in Tau-23. Upon launch, I instantly saw a contact on my radar, identifying it as a vessel of Outcast/Maltese origin. It was a Commune ship, a Sabre, whose pilot demanded me to speak out about my intentions. I twisted the situation and demanded him to tell me why he would be present at the borders to the royaume, he didn't answer. I gave him the chance to leave the area and/or surrender himself, none of which he intended to do, so I was forced to use violence. The fight ended with the Commune ship to be destroyed and driven out of the area, I am at best health and my ship has suffered no damage.
Situation deux:
Upon a call of Commandant Jean Yves Patrice de Joustéton, I deployed myself to the Leeds system. Arriving at the destination, I saw that Commandant de Joustéton was already keeping the ship in place and questioning it. I was ordered to keep it from retreating then while Commandant de Joustéton deployed la Ressentiment. Despite my attempts to negotiate, I was greeted with heavy gunfire which forced me to dodge, therefore, elimination through the Ressentiment seemed more than justified, Commandant de joustéton acted completely right. The Aurora got damaged heavily1 and driven off our realms as well.

Another strike in Leeds and Magellan by the Armed Forces and the Liberty Navy, before I was able too reach the system, though, I was interrupted by a Craytertian Osprey MK2 spotting a Liberty Navy IFF, highly confusing, however, I have destroyed the ship despite its numerous attempts to cloak away from me, Capitaine Ambre La Chance is a witness of the situation. After this incident, we moved on to the Leeds system, where a large strikeforce was awaiting us already, I took out a few ships, due to them outnumbering us in terms of capital ships, I got my bomber to provide heavy support, eventually, we managed to push them all back, a Bretonian ship was able to flee, while two other attempts resulted in termination.

After the battle was over, I loaded my logistics vessel to supply the lower class on Nuveau Paris, Saint-Germain with Food and Water as part of my volunteered community service.

Situation un:
The Armed Forces together with a single Coalition ship and two Outcast bombers were raiding Leeds today. As I arrived at the scene, I couldn't find any contacts near the planet, until a lone Armed Forces bomber showed up, he seemed to be on his way to his allies. I disrupted and questioned him, he tried to act like he didn't know what was going on, the more contacts showed up the faster I knew I'd have to destroy him, otherwise, they would turn on me. After I destroyed the ship, I flew back to Leeds to find a Coalition Scimitar who tried to flee, he wanted to disable my ship with hit-and-run tactics until I mine-trapped him, which sent him flying. Shortly after, I had a talk with an homme called monsieur "Icarus Augustopolus", the leader of the Custodi, a Corsair group that takes care of the Cretans to be supplied with food. A minute later, two Commune bombers made their way to the planet, our group quickly disabled them, one of them crashed on Leeds.

Situation deux:
There is a nomad anomaly in New London above the sun, the anomaly is unreachable for us but the nomads use it to enter New London and cause chaos and destruction, while this may come in handy, we cannot risk the Nomads to come to Gallia as well, they need to be stopped, due to the cloud's radiation, I was not able to take a guncam shot, Capitaine Ambre Lachance has witnessed the situation, though, be careful when closing into the cloud.

Topic:New London Raid
Description de la/des situation/-s
Situation un:
As ordered by the Grande Marechal, a probing raid was organised on this date to the New London system, in hopes to cause damage to the infrastructure of the system. We set out with four ships, all bomber-class, and entered the system. Not long after, we've detected a large mixed Allied fleet.
Situation deux:
We engaged the ships that were near Southampton Shipyard, targeting their largest capitals. A group of Corsairs has joined us, shooting the small fry while we were making holes in LNS-Kiel, an anti-snub Liberty Carrier. Slowly but surely, the ship eventually reached critical point and exploded. By this point, we were near Planet Dover, when the enemy started receiving reinforcements of all sorts. Gaians, Bounty Hunters, Freelancers and aliens all joined to shoot our ships, and this is where we started taking losses.
During a last ditch attempt, we took down HMS-Avalon, a Bretonian Carrier. We weren't able to do anything else but retreat as their cruisers jumped on our small craft, along with a massive, renewed wave of fighters. I'm not sure who else made it back to Leeds aside from me.
