Report:
Yesterday as I stared to a patrol the area Cardiff Mining Facility, very shortly after my start i saw two Core Destroyers (one with Junker IFF (Cygnus.X1) the other without any IFF code (Helios.X22)) attacking supply ships and BAF ships in the vicinity and shortly there after firing from afar heavy weaponry at Cardiff Mining. Since I was only flying in my Eagle I called for help and tried to reason with the Core Vessels to move along (sadly to no avail one even did shoot at me once from afar with heavy weaponry. I was able to evade that), until help in form of my senior officer: call sign IMG|Cardiff.One, arrived and the HMS-Sherwood.Forest arrived. Since the AI controlled ships, where did neither respond to commands given to them to abort any hostilities and being a threat to all in the vicinity my senior officer and the HMS-Sherwood.Forest engaged. Since I was their 1st target, I was dodging fire till I was able to engage. At this point my shield was once annihilated to zip so I had to use my batteries to stay alive and in combat. The HMS-Sherwod with help of my officer was able to bring down the Cygnus.X1 which have been targeting me primary. After the pressure on me was gone we were together able to bring down the fleeing Helios.X22 as well.
I took position above Cardiff Mining to review all data and download it to Cardiff's mainframe for later reference and re-view by me while my senior officer IMG|Cardiff.One was handling the aftermath of the battle with the HMS-Sherwood.Forest and other BAF members that had arrived shortly after this indecent. I was half way trough the process of it, as I looked up again I saw Nomad ship form from the Keshwick Cloud moving to into my direction and trough the Tradelane of Jump Gate to New London an Outcast destroyer arriving at the end of the Tradelane. (I never saw a Nomad ship before that big) The Nomad ship (labelled Ishkur) tried at least two times to tamper with my brain it seams. I had strange visions and couldn't concetrate on the rest of processing the data to Cardiff. In the meanwhile IMG|Cardiff.One and the HMS-Sherwood.Forest commander took a heated debate about that Outcast destroyer (labelled: MNS-Razorspine) which was to our surprise allowed in Bretonia. I informed my senior on a secure channel about the political consequences this would had for the IMG. having an allowed Outcast destroyer in Bretonia due losing a conflict with Kusari is one thing but it is a complete other thing to allow an outcast destroyer near an IMG Facillity in Bretonia space knowing that this is a major affront against the IMG and to put it in an euphemism, not a very bright idea to let two mortal enemies come so close together.
I must confess, the fast escalation of things did surprised me. and I'm still at loss how and why things then escalated. In the meanwhile my senior had disrupted the trade lane and the outcast destroyer fired, I wasn't able to make out at what hit me because I was having a hard time evading again. In this my shield was hit two times and having only 4 shield batteries, due to the prior battle left, which I used to compensate the loss of shield power. So I assumed I must be hit by the Outcast destroyer, because the only firing parties where IMG|Cardiff.One and the MNS-Razorspine (the Tradelane was still disabled) so I engaged in self-defence.The next thing I know is waking up at Cardiff some hours ago. It seams the destroyer got my Eagle good and the ejection system saved my life. The MD at Cardiff is not letting me in a cockpit today The political situation is bad enough having Bretonia openly supporting Outcasts and admitting it and letting an Outcast Destroyer in the direct vicinity of IMG property in knowing fairly well this can only escalate in a political dangerous situation in that end outcome Bretonia and the IMG are the losers and the Kusari and Outacts are the winners. I know we don't take sides in the Bretonia/Kusari conflict, but these incidents show clearly a political outline of political mismanagement or far more worse a first major move against IMG.
I'm writing this report in the hopes that the other Guild members support the situation of Cardiff more, because it seams a lot of guild members take the situation too lightly having these kind of "unfriendly" vessels in the direct vicinity of Cardiff Mining facility, means they are only one jump away from Aland Shipyard.. Now fellow guild members I leave you to think up the rest for yourself,
Good day!
