Yesterday, a small squadron of Groupement tactique Roussillonnaise consisting of myself, Lieutenant Reims, Caporal Jisuit, Aspirant Reynaud et Caporal Maginot were dispatched en route to the California system on a reconnaissance mission to gather intel on la Marine Royale Galoise fleet movements from the Taus et Leeds system into the edges of Liberty space.
Our patrol route took us through Baffin et Coronado at which point we were briefly joined by CR et BAF forces. We proceeded through Cortez and finally arrived in the California system. It was all rather quiet. It appeared that the Liberty Forces had just repelled a wave of attacks when we entered the system. Few hostiles remained on scanners that were being quickly neutralized as we approached Planet Los Angeles.
After a brief discussion between Caporal Maginot and agents of the 404 it was revealed that heavy assets that were previously stationed in Leeds and Tau systems have been moved and are now in California or its vicinity; Battleship Embuscade has been stationed near the Magellan jump gate as forward operating base launching attacks on Liberty Navy assets.
After gathering this piece of information, we set course for Pamiers to conclude our mission. Please find the guncam scans of the battlefield et brief audio logs with the important information below.
