To; Gallic High Command
From; Sous Lieutenant Arlette
I am sending this information to inform The High Command of an illegal base that was built in Tau-23. I received a message from EFL|Xenc that he came across the base. I informed him that the base was not authorized and asked for him to keep watch on it until my arrival. When I arrived a small transport by the name of Majin_Chalice was attempting to deliver Robotics to the base. I instructed him to halt but he docked on the base before I could stop him. With the assistance of the EFL and a Valor we were able to destroy the base. Guncam shot provided below.

The Leeds Invasion has brought me to serve a tour in Edinburgh. Insuring gorilla fighters weren't lurking in the abyss I encountered a Vache transport cruising towards the Leeds Jumpgate. With distance closing a Union Corse signature had been detected along with a very odd energy spike. Labeled on the ships Port and Starboard was the name Contrebandier. The ship appeared to be carrying Cryocubes, Mox, and had a Cloaking Device attached to its hull. After submitting firm instructions the Union Corse continue to ignore my orders in defiance. The ship's defensive turrets were activated then began firing on my Cougar. When the ship began sustaining heavy damage it quickly cloaked evading my weaponry. Noticing the gate activation nearby it is safe to say this ship services the Bretonian government.

[color=#C0C0C0] Sous Lieutenant Cassel, Reporting.
The recent increase in smuggler activity to Bretonia has brought me to our forces station in Orkney. My visit proved useful as other officers present required my assistance. Two Gallic Junkers had been detained by vessels marked "MDR" . The charges against them included Section 4 (Terrorism) and Section 5 (Respect) under the Gallic Royal Charter. The two Gallic Junkers were transporting Industrial Materials through Languedoc when the leading transport vessel disabled the lanes on the monitoring MDR fighters. As these fighters were marked with Gallic Royal Navy signatures and identification they were subject to the authority awarded to them by the Gallic Royal Charter. They reported to me the leading transport had evaded their capture initially while the captain of the second transport denounced them as royal officers. My intervention allowed me to gather more information on this matter. I do not know where these Gallic Junkers were headed or what their intentions were therefore I left the MDR vessels to handle the situation. As disabling the lanes and showing disrespect to officers representing the Crown's authority my conclusion is they were guilty.
After departing from the MDR forces I proceeded to monitor traffic near Fort Albi. Progress had been made when a Freelancer flying a Spatial fighter attempted to evade my scanners. Some how he managed to capture Marines loyal to the Crown. He refused my orders to release them to my custody and open fired immediately after my demands. I'm proud to say his vessel was destroy with ease. The Marines were quickly recovered before the ship's core exploded killing the criminal pilot. Fort Albi directed the captured Marines to its medical center for further evaluation. They could not recall their captives or how they were captured in the first place. These junior Marines will be safe for now and will soon return to their duty station.
Once my ship had been rearmed and repaired I ventured out to Tau-31 in search of battleship Carcassonne.
I had been intercepted before regrouping with the Carcassone. Steve Holloway a Mandalorian Mercenary .presented himself from the shadows of the ice field. He had been accompanied by another individual whose name I did not record. Steve continued to engage me presenting a light challenge to my Cougar. While his shields were removed easily he fled before any further damage could be implemented. As his partner inched closer I withdrew to a more defensive ground. Finally I reached Carcassone where I am present getting much needed recovery time.
I did a couple of patrols with Capitaine Xavier in the past days, but I was unable to report about them due to technical issues.
The first patrol happened some days ago, the Capitaine and I located ourselves next to an important trade lane in the Leeds system, in order to intercept enemy cargo vessels. Sadly we only had an annoying Freelancer and some random Bowex who camped Planet Leeds, as they were obviously afraid of moving on, but I take that as a little success for us. Supply vessels that can't fulfill their purpose only weaken our enemies, even if it's just for a short time. Anyway, both the Capitaine and I knew that eventually we'd get into a battle, but it took quite some time for that to happen. The battle wasn't something special, Freelancers and BAF shooting us, then we had the Reavers supporting us, in the end some of us blew up and some of them did so as well.
The next patrol we did happened in the same system, but that time we had planned to hit Dublin. Before we got to that system, we were spotted by a BAF pilot, and later there even was one of those Coalition guys, one of our most hated enemies. Xavier made it already clear that this encounter would also end up in a battle, but that wasn't a problem for me, it's what I signed up for anyway. Luckily the enemy wasn't that skilled, so both the Capitaine and I had it easy to shoot the enemy vessels down.
Captaine Ansel Xavier has been promoted to Marechal and placed in command of the Foreign Legion. Because scum - I of course mean a man like him will get along well...with outsiders and such.
Also, Reserve-Marechal Valerie Quetineau has been brought to the front and placed alongside Duc Leon Chevalier to step up the offensive.
Now get in space and bring the fight to Bretonia. You do not want the Main Fleet to think such a weak Navy actually managed to hold the Magenta Fleet off for a year now, do you?
That is all.

Adelaide Roux, Marquise of Orleanais

Bonjour.
I've been on patrol around Edinbourgh when got order to move to Cambridge system.
Small strike team led by of GRN fighters Maréchal Ansel Xavier were there.
Bretonian forces were forced to run in Omega-3 system and we followed them.
At first we started fight near Douglas Station and made enemy run.
However once they reached their heavily armed base they got advantage.
We lost 3 fighters in this fight however manage to bring down 2 of enemy ships as far as o recall.
Several enemy fighters docked on bases with heavy damage.
Monsieur Leon Chevalier shot down one of sirian pirates.
My fighter been shot down, but safe pod have been delivered to Villeneuve.

Xavier here.
I'll just briefly sum up the happenings of yesterday. A small sortie of fighters, lead by my good friend Marechal Chevalier went into the Leeds system with the general purpose of attrition and enforcing a trade blockade in Leeds. We soon ran into Bretonian resistance, lead by one of their admirals, Charles Davis.
Yesterday was quite interesting to say the least, Maréchal Xavier led an attack wing into the Magellan system. The usual tasks of course, I don't think I have to list them.
It took a while before things became interesting, at first we had to deal with random traders, who intended to support our enemies. Shortly after that, we spotted the first Liberty Navy vessels, a cruiser and some fighters, basically just a minor nuisance that was dealt with in no time.
What followed were several Gunboats, as well as some Battleships, sounds dangerous but it certainly wasn't, I blame their stupidity or whatever other reason there could be for them to be such amateurs. After some time the capital ships were replaced with fighters, might just be my opinion but their actions seemed rather desperate, didn't look like they were prepared for our presence.
I'd say we were quite cruel to them, a lot of them blew up, but there also were many enemies that ran to California because they were not able to stand against Gallia's might.
Since more important things require Grande Maréchal Roux' attention, I was tasked to announce the promotions she decided about earlier.
Sous-Lieutenant Claude Douffet has been promoted to Lieutenant Sous-Lieutenant Thomas Leveque has been promoted to Lieutenant Lieutenant Marcell Chevalier has been promoted to Capitaine
After Leon Chevalier's 'departure' from our forces, I hereby promote Colonel Mathieu Baudin to Maréchal.
Now that we're already talking about Monsieur Chevalier, here are your new orders concerning him: Search and capture him alive.
Today with several other wings I've been deployed for scouting operation in Leeds system. However i was unlucky to meet bretonian patrol on my first way point. Surprisingly, but they gave me option to leave, however when i asked why, they opened fire. Since i was close to retreating point, means Edinbourhg jump hole, i accepted challenge. Here is list of what i was facing:
BAF|Lt.Cdr.J.Arland - Very heavy fighter BAF|Lt.Robert.Dzeferson - Heavy fighter BAF|Adm.Charles.Davis - Very heavy fighter (Appeared latter)
No doubt with a lot of luck I manage to shot down lieutenant Dzeferson and Admiral Davis. Monsieur Arland have been ordered to retreat. The pods of mentioned pilots have been picked by HMS destroyer Diamond.
After that i continued my operation, with just arrived Sous Lieutenant Mike Candys. Everything was silent, we have not found anything. After we separated in Edinbourgh on battleship Castres. I waited till my fighter would be fixed and moved back on Acheron. End of report.

*Opening transmission* Sender:Mike Candys Location:Battleship Guillestre, Tau 23 Priority: Medium Encryption: Medium Subject:Escorting a Hogosha trader
Today I recieved an order from the High command to escort a Hogosha trader, named [l]Tsukikage . He wanted to carry Kyushu Rice to Planet New Paris, but didn't knew the way, so he asked the GRN if somebody is available for the escort. We met at the battleship in Tau 31 and began the trip. We met only a few friendly contacts, but that was it, so we ended the trip at Planet New Paris. He said he knows the way back home and that he'll return without my help.
So I packed my bags, returned to the battlefield and parked my ship in Edinburgh.
