Upon recieving distress call from a transport vessel operating in Tau-31, we made it clear that an uog ship and another pirate were taxing in the area. With the help of mercenary Ranagol it did not take much time for us to eliminate the pirate bomber, while the other one just fled away in spite of helping his companion.
Due to the last report from BETA 1 of a UOG encounter, I leaned on the side of caution with 3 UOGs in the Cambridge system. All credit for the successful mission goes to artos and Ranagol, who helped escort the UOG to the Dublin gate in New London. I only leant the aura of legitimacy to the operation. Overall, I ordered the trio back to Dublin and they complied.
I owe those two gentlemen for their excellent help.

Largish battle ensued today in Cambridge. The participants were: RAGB-Kerensky's.Honor, [N]-Atalawohisdi, Julio.Ibanez[TBH], RAHF-Ares and Taurvi.NLF.
It was a tough fight, pretty one sided too, but we had no choice. The RA Gunboat took a severe beating, absorbing several anti-matter rounds to the hull, only to be nullified by bots. The battle was lengthy, As they always are when theres a Corsair Gunboat around. Seventeen minutes into the battle, according to the flight computer, all weapons aside from the mine layer and one Tizona Turret were destroyed. Realising I could no longer occupy let alone destroy the enemy, I set my 19remaining Nuclear Mines into an auto destruct sequence, and ejected. My bomber was destroyed. Unfortunately it did not take anything with it.
Atleast the sensitive information not inside the escape pod computer was destroyed. The peaceful Cambridge traders were given time to evacuate the system while this battle took place. At the loss of only one bomber, that was a sucessful evacuation, a price cannot be put on life. My left arm is broken the three places, My left wrist is shattered. I have a punctured lung and two broken ribs, Those RA sure put up a fight.
(([N]-Atalawohisdi fought against the SCRA, then disengaged and observed the battle))

SFBS-Sierra - Grinch_1 was discovered in Cambridge today by SFF-Beta5 and SFF-Bluebelly. The Sierra was called from the Leeds system, and arrived in time to help destroy the gunboat. Congratulations go to Beta5 for a well-placed, crippling shot to the enemy ship.
However, a trader was destroyed before SF could rally.
SFGB-Tempest - The Tempest and Eclipse found four TBH ships in Bretonia, and attempted to stop them. However, they remained out of short range scans, and were able to escape to Tau-31. There is no intelligence to say that any SF, BAF, BPA, allied, or civilian ships were destroyed.

I wish to recommend Cadet BlueBelly for Promotion to Lieutenant. After fighting along side him three times today, I have realised he is in fact very competent in battle. He is green with Bretonian Armed Forces Guard, he has the required PvP encounters. As well as having the knowledge and skills required of becoming a Lieutenant.

With the requirements met, I hereby promote Cadet BlueBelly to Lieutenant in the SF. The promotion comes with increased expectations and duties. Continue to serve well in the SF. As customary with any promotion, a free round of drinks is available from Joanne on Cambridge Research Station.
End Transmission
OOC: Promotion is granted, but concerns have been raised regarding re-engagement after death. Granted the hositle ships in question were still in Bretonian space; however, engaging a player, dying, and then engaging the same hostile character after death with the same character is not permitted. The exception to this rule is if the hostile player engages you first without provocation after your first death, in which case you can defend yourself as needed.
Your faith in me is heartening and I am truly honored by this promotion. All my actions have been for the betterment of Bretonian. In relation to concerns, my only actions that come close is re-engaging the RA in Cambridge, which happened after a skirmish in New London (I lost in New London and they followed me into Cambridge, which was a different battle and within regulations).

@BlueBelly
(Understood, the situation was in fact with the SCRA and according to them they weren't following by withdrawing to the Omega's. In any case the rule is more a re-iteration for everyone, and that communication on all sides can avoid misunderstandings and conceptions, as well as unwelcomed incidents. Continue to have fun which is the point of all this.)
Anyways...if SFT-Zizo/SFGB-Necro/SFF-Necro and SFF-Freedom could please report to my office, certain information needs to be passed down.
(I need your guys forum IDs and with the new ranks being implemented a reminder that GB's are limited to lieutenant and up, SFGB-Necro is to be sidelined until that is rectified).

Today we moved a small force, two fighters and a bomber, into New Tokyo and began bombardment of their shipping facilities.
[attachmentid=3177]
After around 10 or so minutes, and several battlegroups later, the Bushido showed up in full force with a KNF by their side. The KNF stated we had a Ceasefire. If this was the case I was prepared to order the immediate evacuation of Kusari space, in the interest of preserving a delicate agreement. Before anything could be confirmed we were engaged by three Bushido Claws. A couple of minutes into the battle I managed to squeeze of two nicely placed Nova's into the side of one of the fighters.
[attachmentid=3178]
Just as everything seemed to be going in our favor, the trend of the day occurred. Server crash.
When we were all back online and rallied, the Bushido re-engaged before anything could be said. The re-enforced enemy quickly dispatched of SFF-Photuin, then Beta5 a few minutes later. The status of SFF-Ronny is currently unknown. Long range scans indicating SFF-Ronny and SFF-Bluebelly are still in New Tokyo.
If there was infact a ceasefire in effect between our two houses, then I accept full responsibility for leading the group into the battle. However I will query why this agreement was not documented either on the faction status page, or this message dump.
