Bonjour Magistrats,
After completing one of our standard convoy runs to Roussillon from Champagne, Toulouse Intelligence Controllers dispatched us to verify the existence of a rumored new shipyard the Royal Navy has set up closer to Bretonnian space. While the L'Infante is not a warship or recon vessel, we did have our Advanced Deep Scanner on board, which to Intel, seemed justification enough for our secondment for this task. With all of our comrades stretched thin and back home, we had no other choice.
It appears that our worst fears have been confirmed. With the escort of a friendly Maquis pilot, we were able to penetrate into the Edinburgh System and confirm intel reports that have been coming in. Named Issoudun Drydock, it's a shipyard that seems capable of supplying the Royalists' closer to the front lines, which probably means we'll see less and less of those Valors, Obstinates and Triumphs returning home for dry dock maintenance and repairs. IFF signature on our scanner tags it to the Gallic Royal Navy, so I don't think there's any more room for doubt. The Battleship La Riche also maintains a holding pattern nearby, and considering the Edinburgh System's proximity to Roussillon, I believe we may have a real problem on our hands here.
My ship and my crew shall remain on Toulouse for another 2 solar cycles before we head out. All pilots and personnel will be briefed in case the situation in Edinburgh deteriorates.
