Bonjour,

This is Aspirant Villeneuve reporting in to update the Senateurs of the current situation in the Taus:

After taking a short break from moving goods to our bases around Gallia and toward Rheinland, I decided to head set course for Tau-23 system as I had it on good authority from various sources that there has been high volume of smugglers passing through our territory and heading toward Outcast space.

I set out to assess the situation myself. One thing is for sure, this high activity had many groups on alert: IMG, KNF, Royal Navy, Crayterians and even freelancers.

I began my patrol from the Orkney jumphole toward the Tau-37 and then finally the Tau-29 jumphole looking for these smugglers supplying the competition. I had flown past the Kysushu jumphole when I detected a Montante class gunship locking on to my position and firing cruise disruptors and making demands way beyond his abilities. What is even more shocking is the fact that the captain of this ship, bearing the callsign GrapHook, opened fire right away at which point myself and a member of the secondary fleet of the GRN, whom was not too amused by the gunships presence either, began carving out his shield and hull. This GrapHook, attempted to, poorly I may add, use Glaives on multiples occassions but to no avail. I managed to place a well-timed SNAC shot on his badly damaged hull and the GRN pilot finished him off with a few salvos of his cannons.

Perhaps it is time to reinforce our position in this region to show these maniacs who truly controls the Taus.

Later, I decided to scout Tau-31. I ran into a Royal Navy bomber who had just intercepted an Outcast transport and seemed to have his hands quite full with intercepting smugglers. I had a brief chat with him outside of New Tours. He seemed very interested in acquiring information about Nox and how to purchase it for personal use. Of course, I told him we don't know where to acquire it or even touch Nox. I'm back on Montelimar now and will be departing for Provence in a few hours.
