Salud, Comrade-Commissar Khan!
Hermano, as honoured as I am, si, by the promotion. I fear it would take me away from the duties unto which I am most effective, and as such, most needed, holmes.
I revel in the thrill of battle, esse, taking the fight to our enemies and striking the counter blow with a little... latino flair and passion that our enemies, they seem to understand.
I cannot do this if you chain me to a desk, so I must decline the promotion to the rank of Admiral, and retain my Captaincy of the Havana, si, I vow that there won't be a single place they can hide from me, holmes!
You want to honour me, buy my crew and I a drink in Kalashnikov's and drink to our enemies ill health!
Buenos Dias Comrades. I hope to be able to serve the coalition faithfully in my new role as a Lieutenant
Commander. The first new call was taking command of one of the new Storm class Gunboats.
I shuttled to Mykolaiv as soon as I had free time from my duties, and there, as said, A storm
class gunboat had been recently retrofitted and made ready for new duties under a new Captain. It
was named Dhokebaaz. It is from a small Coalition Dialect, called Hindi if I recall, meaning "Trickster."
The name pretty much sums up the use of this vessel, as a sly trickster, taking out targets where it is least expected. It had a crew complement of Twenty, with whom I am still getting Acquainted..but the vessel is sturdy.
It's shakedown run is scheduled for today, and I have been busy learning all I can about the vessel, hopefully this vessel will make the Coalition proud.

Zdraveite Comrade's todays was the Botev and the Dhokebaaz shake down cruse. Well let's See we started with the Sensor Arrays. We pick'd up what seem'd be Several vessel's in the Dublin system we went to intercept and check em out. We got in to a Bretonian Armed Force's GB witch Was running away from us. We maneged to Intercept and test our Next system. Cruse Disruptor's There were Several error's in the system but we managed to fix them out. The Came the Next System Weapon. The GB was evading so Hard and Not responding to our hail's Me and Francesca Santorini Decided to engage it. Wepaon system were very well tuned and precision't. The Bretonian GB went down with the Help of the Dhokebaaz the GB Became the 1st Addison it' to the Kill board of the Botev. We Decided to push our Sensore's to the Limit and we Managed to get a small peak of the Delta system were there was a Battle between the Order and the BHG We din't get there in Time but when we were passing trew the Kappa system. We intercepted a Corsair Gb after chasing it to Gamma we Engage'd it and Destroy'd it again with the Dhokebaaz help. But A general alert was sounded in Gamma and we had to run one BS Cruiser and a GB were chasing us. The BS give up in the Omega-5 system but that Cruiser and Gb, Stay'd on track of us we decide'd to split with the Dhokebaaz but they chose to chase me. I took then to a Little tour arrownd the Coalition System Defences. Well thay were shock'd the bouth Vessles were Badly damaged. And our Shake Down bouth the Botev's and Dhokebaaz were Complied successful. Here are the Gun cam shot's
*Santorini appears on screen, she appears a little tired*
Buenos Dias Comrade. Today is a red day, a glorious day in the history of the Coalition. We've dealt a severe blow to all our enemies on all fronts today, but first, we shall speak of the events of the day before, which we could not record due to some disturbances in communications.
Yesterday, as recorded by the Botev, We took a round of Dublin and the Omicrons, taking out a Bretonian Gunboat.
Then we took a trip to Omicron Delta, where we witnessed a large scale battle between TCG| and Hunter Core forces. We held back, because there was nothing we could have done in a large scale battle like that...
Then the Botev and Dhokebaaz risked Gamma, taking out a Corsair Gunboat.
We then ran, as the alarm had been sounded. A cruiser intercepted us in the patch, but we inflicted damage on him and managed to run to Omega 41.
There, a Corsair fleet awaited us, the Dhokebaaz took a lot of damage, but we limped back to 52 somehow...And that's for yesterday.
Today was a field day, as I said. We met up with the Botev, captained by Petko Dimitrov again, and were patrolling when The pride of the Coalition, The Havana joined us, captained by El Coyote Senor Alvarez. Along the way, A bomber squadron joined us, and the battlegroup was ready to move. Our first target was Omicron Gamma. It felt our wrath.
Firstly, a Legate guarding the entrance was quickly taken out by combined firepower.
Then a Gunboat.
And then A cruiser. He apparently had magic powers on hand, because his ship was back in action in about five minutes, but we destroyed him another time and this time he did not re-emerge. Strange.
A few bombers emerged, belonging to the Black Sails, and they attempted to harry us, but they were all destroyed. I marvel at their courage and idiocy however.
We then made our way to Bretonia, where it was all quiet...strangely enough. We did not attract much attention, but in Leeds, we stumbled into Two hapless outcast gunboats. Both were destroyed.
The next target was Omicron Alpha. We entered in, all guns blazing, and took out a Dreadnought.
The Outcasts were prepared however, probably warned by the gunboats we took out earlier. They brought in almost the entire Maltese Navy, and we had to call a retreat. The Dhokebaaz was heavily damaged and nearly destroyed, but was towed out of battle by a retreating Havana. We did not lose any ships except the Dhokebaaz, which will be patched up and made ready soon.
That will be all. Lieutenant Commander Santini out!

Salut Comrades, finally going home. This mission was very long and very exhausting. It lasted so long that even Premier thought that I was no longer alive. Nevertheless my short encrypted signal menaged to break through in time. Below convey a conversation recorded in Alpha, so that intelligence can start with analysis.
Recorded Logs
In the end I'll present some of my own impressions. So, recording went smoothly until Maltesians have spotied me with long range sensors. Of course I tried to confused them by presenting a breakdown on the board and systems, explaining that I was only passing by...seemed in vain. From that moment everything changed. Exchanged of information on broadband communications rapidly and completely stopped. Penetration in local and group comms became impossible. No sentence or word reach ship's recorder. I held position for another 48 hours and then withdrew.

TARGET ID: Captain Arthur Levesque
The commitment made to the survivors of the RdG movement and their families takes a great step forward today. As the colonists were moved into a recently cleared island on JiangXi that is re-designated as the Republique Democratic de l'Acadia, or Acadia.
This Special Administrative Region now falls under the Free Gaulle Special Executive, and all supplies and resources have been placed at their disposal. What we have, we share with all our people. Brother's and sisters in the Revolution!
To this end, considering the damage to the Battleship Du Galle, and the length of time it will take to service and learn to assimilate this ship into the Coalition Military, it has been decided that the CPW-Karl.Marx be placed under the direct command of Captain Arthur Levesque as well as the CPW-Kerimov attached for operations on the Gallic front.
I welcome you and your people to the Coalition, good luck Comrade-Captain!

Salud, Comradas!
Hermanos, the Havana has scored a further four battleship kills, combined with another six cruiser kills. Two of the Battleship kills scored were against CAU8 Dreadnaught class vessels of Outcast and Corsair design.
The tally is at 24, and already our enemies tremble at the thought of the Coyote stalking them with the Havana.
Si, the revolucion is marching forward, and they know better than to challenge us face to face.
The strikes against Gamma again resulted in Zero losses, the strike on Alpha saw us loose a single gunboat, a valid trade for punishing one of their heaviest dreadnaughts.
I am nominating both Lt. Commander Santorini and Lt. Commander Dimitrov for commendations for not only possessing superior combat prowess, but decorum and honour befitting officers of the SCRA.

I do not make a habit of interfering directly in the day to day operations of Commandante Warner's Fighter Corps, but events of the past few weeks, and the exceptional actions of a few, proud individuals has come to my attention.
As such, I have consulted with the Civilian Duma of the Coalition, and we have reached a consensus to grant the SCRA-Fighter corps a campaign citation for actions and loyalty to the Party after the cleansing of the Coalition int he Post McIntosh Era.
The Corsairs tremble under Captain Alvarez's relentless onslaught, the Maltese are livid with every raid we purpotrait against them. The LNS wrecks in Alaska stand testament to the skill of our pilots.
To this end we are awarding the ENTIRE active SCRA on this date October 29th 818AS the Golden
Fourragere, to be worn with pride to distinguish the loyal and Most Diligent Officers of the S.C.R.A.
Be proud of what you have done, and drinks are free in Klashnikovs for the next 24 hours!

Priviet. The day has finally come for me to join and actively participate in the Revolution. Upon seeing my Insurgent, I couldn't resist the temptation of taking it into space for a spin. I decided to go to Alpha with our comrades Bobcat, Orca, and Walter. We had no problems on our way there, and curiously enough, we met few Outcast patrols upon entering Malta. Seems the lazy fools were asleep.
We proceeded to the Hispania wreck, where I carved my name in with the mighty Kalashnikov.
Attached File:
Now the Outcasts will forever remember the name of "Boklov" and the mark of the Revolution. After that we proceeded to scan the surroundings of Malta, and finally we had an encounter. It was one of those "lets laugh at it" Outcast type dreadnoughts.
Attached File:
I took some scans of it, while my comrades were keeping the captain busy. We actually managed to damage its shields quite hard with the might of the Kalashnikov, but we alone were not enough without bomber support. After the encounter with this quite "strange" captain, I ended my patrol and flew back home. That would be all comrades.
