Privet High Command!
After returning from Liberty I took my chance to visit the battle worn system, Leed. I was able to collect several information regarding gallic and bretonian troops. The situation is tense, as patrol wings of the two houses are clashing every moment. Next to the sun, in a remote location of the sector, you can see the Armed Forces and the Royal Navy shooting each other. With Gaians, Mollys, Outcasts and bounty hunters in the system, the whole place looks like a playground of the capitalist regim. I would call my mission successfull, my scanner collected as much data as they could during the short time I was in Leeds. The cloaking device I have equipped on my bomber was qualified efficient. You can see the report below, I hope the High Command can make a good use of it.
Leeds System
The former bretonian system, Leeds, is under constant pressure of the Gallic Royal Navy. They have a well established strike force overwathcing the whole sector. Even though they are there in force, the lower part of the sector, map wise, is still occupied by the Bretonia Armed Forces and ocasionally Mollys and Gaians are flying there as well. They are constantly fighting the Gallic forces, yet without any heavy support it is a real pain to do that. I saw several friendly wing getting ripped apart by gallic cruisersi and battleships. Planet Leeds and it's vicinity is constantly monitored by the invaders, both using satellite dishes and other fancy equipments. I was able to fly all around the sector with the cloaking device I have mounted on my vessel, without that I would have been attacked several times.
Planet Leeds
I have to report something fancy. I really enjoyed the sight that welcomed me next to planet Leeds. The gallic battleship, the Oubli is wrecked. Even though the planet's defense systems are constantly firing on enemy targets, the are is secure. Without their battleships, the gallics are flying cautiously around the planet. I have no information about the current situation on the surface of the planet but the local area seems pretty clear to me. Larger taskforces could get a hold there if they plan to act quickly. Once the gallic cavalry would arrive there would be no retreat but fight to death only. It seems that the libertonian and bretonian joint operation had a really good effect in the area. Softening up gallic lines are the first step, and in this case, I must tell that the capitalists did a an extremly ideal move in the sector.
Border Station
Glasgow outpost is currently occupied by IDF Shipping and it is atacking hostiles, defending the jumpgate leading to Tau 31. Ile de France Shipping is basically a gallic corporation without actual military force. Of course, the Royal Navy is supporting them and vice versa. They have a bad influence over the sector and with the station in their hands I would say, they own some firepower. Yet, all corporations can be bought with credits, might be a chance worth to try. Capitalism and corruption is walking hand in hands, both should be exterminated, in a certain order.
LD 14
The refinery station is occupied by te Gallic Royal Navy. They can refit their vessels there in case of emergency, yet the station is not heavily populated. Due to the hazardous enviroment only a small crew is operating the station. It can provide shelter for a short period for gallic forces but it should not be considered as a valuable asset. On the contrary, the station can be easily cleaned out with proper equipment and enviromental suits.
Mining Operations
Stokes Mining Station is currently under GMS occupation. The Gallic Metal Service managed to get the station operational yet it's only working with low efficiency. The station is equipped with traditional defenses capable of causing a little bit of headache for tranport vessels. Other than the, there is nothing lethal about the base. Of course, gallic forces tend to visit the are quite often, so running into patrols can be expected.
I have returned to Arranmore Station to get my vessel in shape once again. While the revolutionary bomber was being repaired I have managed to get some supplies to Mykolaiv Research Station. I have high hope for the Tempest Light Carrier of hours. I'm confident that our engineers will do a great job and get that ship up and running very soon. It could be a great asset to our nation. And would definitely scare our enemies, which is also important. You can check my delivery reports here if you wish.
