[NLH]Kentigearna was engaged in Edinburgh. His aim was no match for my maneuverability, However my damage output was no match for his shields. Many passes later, with no significant damage done to either party a transmission from Captain Stuart was received, asking if I needed assistance. He was there within minutes and a few minutes later the Kusari Gunboat was destroyed. Along with several important Bretonian pilots who were able to be pulled into my airlock before the harsh vacuum of space could take their lives. The pilots are currently aboard a medical frigate in Leeds being treated for oxygen deprivation.

Then, while on routine patrol in Tau-31, I was attacked by what seemed to be a rouge trader. Bearing planetform IFF I hesitated to engage, however his volleys did persist. I returned fire in the interest in self preservation and his vessel was disabled.

Multiple KNF forces engaged in Leeds today. The enemy force consisted of;

[KNF]Uyeshiba - Bomber
[KNF]Shuutan - Heavy Fighter
[KNF]Takeru - Heavy Fighter
=U.S.S=_Golden_AP1 - Kusari Destroyer

The Bretonian force consisted of;

[QCO]Samantha.Windsor - Heavy Fighter
Marzoruki.Kimozashi - Heavy Fighter
Mazakishi.Karmisho - Heavy Fighter

And towards the end of the engagement, SF-SFF-Ronny joined the fray.

The battle initially was not easy, As the Kusari destroyer did not immediately show itself. My challenger however managed to hold together while taking the concentrated fire of the enemy force. When the Destroyer arrived it took the focused fire of our force. It stood no chance for survival up against one of these fine Challenger bombers with an escort, and quickly fell.

Attention was then turned on the lone Kusari bomber. While it managed to hold up quite well to our attacks, it eventually had a bad encounter with one of its own antimatter torpedoes. It is unknown if this also affected [KNF]Shuutan. Immediately after the bomber ate itself [KNF]Shuutan was downed by a wing of templars ((NPC's)). With [KNF]Takeru realising he had no chance against Five enemies, He fled back to Kusari.

In conclusion, the BAF's superior training and strategy shone again. As we managed to defend Leeds from an considerable enemy force, while suffering zero casualties.

Kyushu Contact Report

After the recent incident in Leeds, SF and QCO decided to sum up the remaining forces and form up in Tau-29 to make a last pushing incursion into Kusari space. Throughout most of the contact we were concentrated on KNF while some individuals and a mercenary involved on KNF's side causing stray in attention obviously. We lost contact with Beta-5 and Salvatore once their vessels were destroyed in the action. KNF despite having 3 capital ships on their side were enforced to give more losses while we managed to keep the casualities at the minimum level. As of SF I managed to stay till the end of the fight and upon BSG's arrival stating that they were to obey KNF, we decided to fallback. I and Stuart were the last remaining to survive however, Captain Stuart was having a tough time with 2 KNF fighters and a bounty hunter tagged mercenary gunboat behind him. Withdrawing from my course to the jumphole, I moved to intercept in order to save some time for him to go on cruise. Managing to stray the attention of the KNF on me for a while let the Captain get on cruise fastly. Yet, I had to spend all of my shield batteries, 16 nanobots and the entire countermeasures in the hold in this last and tough run, under heavy barrage of fire and missiles. Evading blended with countermeasures, I managed to hit cruise as well and we headed back to Leeds where my templars internal repairs are being made at the moment. No major damage has been detected. Current location is planet Leeds.

In short, it was a successful push ensuring KNF to stay off Bretonia.

Here are 2 shots acquired in the contact..

Excellent job to all SF and Bretonian forces involved with the fights in Bretonia and Kusari. Commendations go around, and perhaps a celebration on the CRI bar as usual.

Also, please welcome the return of Lockhead, who will once again be resuming duties for the Sirius Federation. Drinks on me at the same bar.

I had the good fortune in running across a SF recruitment poster in the alleys of New London, and it seems an excellent avenue for advancement and fighting for our Queen Mum. Hence, this humble petition for joining your ranks. I can only offer a clean criminal record and a sharp eye.

My regards

Excellent, good sir, it is nice to see that you have shown interest in the SF. As customary, please take the time to fill out this form and transmit it to a command level staff whenever possible:

I do believe that you have had experience in space for Sirius, so I hope this is not too much of a hindrance.

Greetings,

I shall endeavor to meet all expectations from this honored regiment and the Queen Mum. At this moment, Quartermaster has issued my equipment (gutted my Raven Talon), but I stand upon the flight deck at New London awaiting my vessel. By the Void's indulgence, Personnel has seen fit to issue me a four day pass (Thanksgiving) for the up coming holidays so I might get my affairs in order. Upon my return, I shall pursue my primary duties with gusto!


My humble respects,

Cadet Red Bruin

Additionally, please request a battle group or strike group that you wish each ship to be placed. Please remember that battlegroups can only have one battleship within them. Additionally, each strike group can only have one cruiser and no battleships in them. We currently have the filled slots for battleships, thus we cannot have any more battleships.

Battlegroups:

Battlegroup Stormpike: Attack and Defense along Kusari-Bretonian border, Dundee, the Taus, and Kusari.

Command Ship: [SF]-SFBS-XXXXX (Stratus)
Capital ships under the command of this battleship are limited to two cruisers. All other ship designations (including gunboats) are up to the decision the admiral leading this group.

Bretonian Guard: Bretonian Guard: Defense of the Bretonian house and domestic issues generally within the principal systems of Cambridge, New London, Manchester, Leeds, Poole, Salisbury.

Command Ship: [SF]-SFBS-Norwich
Capital ships under the command of this battleship are limited to two cruisers. All other ship designations (including gunboats) are up to the decision of the admiral leading this group.

For the moment, please choose the location that you would like the ships underneath your command in and report on this channel. Official reorganization will not occur until all SF members have been contacted on a private channel to review the files for reorganization. However, this is not done. Additionally, if there are any suggestions on the reorganization of our military forces available, please contact me with them.

SF command out...

Whilst moving cargo from Cambridge to New Berlin we were intercepted in Stuttgart by a Hessian, just one.
Do these pirates honestly think they can scare me with one fighter? Bah! When we ran his blockade he lay chase, all the way to the jumpgate, which was around 2k. Someone needs to teach these boys how to pirate properly. Like those Corsairs, or Junkers, take a leaf out of their book.

Unfortunately the auto-dock sequence failed once again, at the wrong time. It sent us hurtling into the jumpgate, dislodging a few panels on the side of the gate and crumpling several decks in the front of my ship. The decks sealed themselves off but we lost our galley, long range communications array and most of the crew quarters. Lt. Jason at the helm managed to pull us off the gate, and bring us hard to port to re-align for the jump. His evasive maneuvers also caused several of the Hessians shots to miss.

Once we'd jumped to New Berlin a clear run to the planet was made, strategic lane disruption landed the Hessian a few minutes behind us on arrival to the planet.

Bottom line is we made it to the destination, delivered all of the cargo intact, and are now awaiting for the Eclipse to be repaired before setting off again. I know its only a short leap back to Cambridge but those darn regulations stop us from being able to launch without long range communications. I swear they've made laws simply to compensate for the overall incompetence of the population, why in my day...
