Christopher Edwards, Battleship Akhetaten, Edinburgh System, 821 A.S.
Edinburgh is a lost cause. There's no way in hell we can defend this system. Gallia's forces just keep increasing. There's really not much we can do about this. Our home is probably still at war from what I'm guessing and we are out here getting bombarded by Gallics every week. Bretonian officials have begun fortifying Dublin and Leeds, what happened in Edinburgh should not be repeated. We cannot allow any more surprise attacks. For the time being Edinburgh is presumed hostile territory, the system is overrun by Gallic forces. Our fleets are on full retreat and slowly evacuating the bases towards Leeds. This doesn't look good at all, the past year has been terrible for us. Command wants us still in Edinburgh gathering intelligence on the movements of the Gallic fleets. Outside intelligence suggests there are large fleet movements in the Newcastle system too, their headquarters seem to be a Richelieu class Battleship, the Carcassonne. I've no idea where these forces are headed, but I have a really bad feeling the Gallics will seek war in two fronts.
For now though we remain in Edinburgh and keep our eyes open. Once again our objective is to gather intelligence for our forces. The last convoy will be heading out to Leeds soon, after that we are on our own here. We can only hope nothing goes wrong.
I should be headed back to the bridge, may God be with us, Chris out.
