Situation Report: SFF-FIREBIRD
Received reports of heavy pirate activity in Tau-31 and proceeded from Cambridge to investigate. Meet by several mercs offering their support to the crown in Leeds, our small group was preparing to move out upon sighting an Outcast Rogue Gunboat (Epigoni) carrying Bretonian pilots. The ship was consequently engaged upon refusal to deliver its cargo. Assistance for the gunboat consisted of ships from the RoS that were originally present in Tau-31. Facing 2 gunboats and a Outcast destroyer (Huegenot) with 2 SF fighters, a merc fighter(bomber?) and a RH cruiser, the enemy heavily damaged the RH cruiser forcing its withdraw from combat (death). The Outcast Rogue Gunboat, having been pounded prior to the arrival of its support, was the next to be become disabled and its cargo consequently recovered. With only fighters remaining against the two pirate capital ships still in Leeds, back up was called from Leeds consisting of the SFBS-EXCALIBUR. Faced with more even odds, and a ship capable of taking down the Outcast Destroyer's shields, the heart of the fight left the enemy and their ships were consequently defeated. Compliments go out to the mercenaries assisting the crown in their helping to secure the safe return of Bretonian pilots.

Situation Report: SFBS-MAGNIFICENT
Received reports of a single LDDLG Corsair Gunboat in Cambridge, vessel was engaging local BAF forces outside the planet but promptly left the local vacinity upon sighting of the Magnificent. With a multitude of ships in Omega-5 as backup jumping into Cambridge and having no support within several jumps for the BAF, a general evacuation of civillian transports in the area was called. With local traffic warned and the numerous hostiles in the area, the SFBS-MAGNIFICENT stayed within the protection of the planetary defense shield, while the SFT-NOMADIC moved out of system.
The move to save the Magnificent for later protection proved successful when an Outcast Destroyer entered the area sometime later. Coming out of the defense shield, the Destroyer immediately opened fire. Faced against the Magnificent, the destroyer put up a good fight but was outgunned for capship combat. It was successfully disabled and forced to withdraw from the area (death).

Situation Report: SFGB-RELENTLESS
Received a comminique from SFB-BETA1 of a Hessian known only as "Troll" moving through New London and into Dublin. With several RoS ships also in the area, the Relentless proceed with caution to investigate with the assistance of a Madalorian cruiser. The RoS ships proceed to leave the system without incident or communications when the Hessian Outcast Destroyer was sighted. Attempting to control the area in the name of the Hessians, "Troll" was promptly engaged. Faced against a Cruiser and Gunboat, the Destroyer attempted to focus primarily on us rather than the Mandalorians. The tactic did well to damage our ship but with continued fire coming from the Mandalorians, the destroyer was in worse shape. With its hull nearly collapsed and needing but a few shots to finish the job, the final slugging match pitted us nose to nose with the Destroyer with the Mandalorian Cruiser coming around to bring its guns to bear. The last match nearly finished us with the concentration of fire but not before the final hit was made on the Hessains. A small shuttle was last seen leaving the destroyer but jumped to cruise before it could be captured. If this destroyer is an indication of an increase in Hessian activity, this could actually bode well for Bretonia as their war in Omega-5 could use the support from combat capable ships such as this. However, given its presence here in Bretonia, I suspect instead of helping to stop the Corsair advance, they'll instead hit Bretonian shipping and patrols, reducing our combat effectiveness and as a result helping our mutual enemy of the Corsairs advance on their positions in Omega-5. Only time will tell. Meanwhile, the Relentless is undergoing repairs at the Essex.
