Greetings!
As I undocked from Southampton Shipyard heading to planet New London to start a routine patrol, I encountered Lt. Pria near the tradelane. There was also a Gallic Royal Navy "Lynx", callsign "[RN]-Amber~". Right when I got near them, because the threat had to be eliminated, we started fighting. After a few minutes another one came in aid.
His callsign was rather familiar. It was a Gallic which I thought I killed some days ago, but for some reason he was alive. It was a "Plier", callsign "[RN]-Mary-Anne.Reyes". Fortunately I managed to kill them both. This time I hope is for good
During a patrol today in the New London system, I made a break on the Kensington Shipping Platform. One of the Gateway representants mentioned they have some logistical problems and are currently unable to fulfill their part of a contract with BMM at Southampton Shipyard. It is said Kensington Shipping Platform is currently waiting for a delivery of three Shires filled with Engine Components from Kusari, from the Yukawa Shipyard of Kishiro in the Honshu system, to be exact. The man, Alex Baldwiener, also mentioned they were supposed to ship Iridium from Omicron Delta to Thames Outpost in New London.
Maybe the Merchant Navy can help out with these deliveries? I believe the upcomming weekend would be a good time for us to have a tour to Kusari and through Rheinland to reach Omicron Delta. The safest route to the latter would be via the Frankfurt-Sigma-15-Omicron-Rho corridor, although the latter would require us to request an Omicron Rho Trade Visum for the Merchant Navy if we don't already have one. This can be done via Neural Net [here].
This is all.

This report is about the incident in the Poole system in the evening of January 4th, 825.
We received a distress signal from traders in the Poole system. I happened to arrive first there, followed by Senior Flight Officer Boone. I was met by four Molly/Rogue Gunboats with strange weaponry, as well as two Werewolves and a Corsair of the Custodi, Argus Nikitas. One of the Rogue Gunboats used some extremely powerful equipment. It went with the callsign Redridge and seemed to lead the group. It send some sort of Cultist drones after us, which lead to Custodi and us working together against those drones. The Custodi also deployed a Murmillo-class Battleship, the C::CNS-Andromeda. The little shooting grew up to an outright battle when a Molly Destroyer, designation Mehanik, sided with Redridge. Thankfully, our friends from Crayter arrived and helped us, just in time. Senior Flight Officer Boone is currently in the possession of data about the unknown targets, including debris for the analytics.
The Corsairs claimed they didn't know anything about this group and left Poole when they were facing the Crayterian fleet. Our allies actually have deployed three cruisers and snub escorts including bombers while our own assets seem to have been caught off-guard. Tracing back the flight route of this Redridge individual, we stumbled across an installation in the Ulster Nebula in the Poole system, a Vented Smuggling Facility. While the station looked to me like it would break apart in any moment, the Crayterians boarded it for investigations, also mentioning they would like to make use of the base for future operations. I informed them of approaching the Admiralty about this endeavour.
No losses on our side.
I will attach footage to this report. The upload of the visual footage should be done within the next two hours.

Yesterday while we were heading back from Rheinland with our convoy we encountered several Coalition ships in the Cambridge system. My guess is that they received intel about our whereabouts and were preparing an ambush with serious firepower. For the safety of our shires we sought help to the primary fleet and they responded to our call right on time. The brawl ended with great success, all threats being eliminated and transports reached their destination delivering the goods. One of the communist couldn't handle the defeat and while me and Deckmen Cameron Mitchell and decided to take the coward's way out diving the sun.
Also today while being on planet New London and having my ship checked out, I received an emergency call saying that three Corsairs have been spotted in the system, near Cambridge jump gate. By the time I got there the fight had already started. We had losses but everyone managed to get to safety in their escape pods. I was lucky enough to take out one of theirs, moments before I got my ship destroyed and had to eject.
This report is about the Bretonian Armed Forces Merchant Navy Combat Situation in the evening of January 24th, 825.
We received a warning about an incoming gallic fleet in the Magellan system and sent a response fleet to react before they gathered their full numbers. The HMS Conclusive, the HMS Sovereign, the HMS Gleaves, Sub-Commander Marcus Boone, myself and Privateer Liam McGregor reached Magellan to find a small gallic battlegroup at their staging point, the RNS Betheny at Freeport 4 Wreckage. There we encountered and engaged the RNS Gascogne and the RNS Leygues as well as their snubs and many bombers. I would like to point out that this was the first time I have encountered a Gallic Destroyer. Seems like they have a new toy in their fleet.
I will attach what my Jintsuriku Scanner was able to gather. Note the downward facing cannon, those ships might be specialized on bombardements.
My ship was put out of action by MRG|'Vagrant' and is currently under repair. I suffered no bigger injuries this time. Luckily.

Yesterday while being around Canterbury Station in New London system, a Gallic Royal Navy bomber appeared out of nowhere. I engaged him right away to be sure he won't get out alive. Two more Royal Navy ships came in his defence not long after the fight started. I was lucky that two Auxesia ships where nearby and jump in the fight. Two of them took the easy way out, diving into Planet Dover's atmosphere. The other one was put out of action by me.
While I was handling with the situation in New London, I received information from Admiral O'Dukes that Deckman Michael Bennet and Flight Officer Lilly Leicestershire are engaged with two Corsairs in Cambridge system. Unfortunately Lilly's ship was destroyed by a mine, but she managed to eject on time. On my way there I was joined by Senior Flight Officer George Teeze and we managed to get to Michael just in time to save him. Both Corsairs were put out of action by my Super Nova Antimatter Cannon.
Just when we thought everything was dealt with, two Coalition capital ships popped into the system. We regrouped near Planet Cambridge where Commodore O'Dukes, Flight Officer Jack Evarts and Ensign Ray Newton joined the group. We started scouting the system and found the two capital ships around Cardiff Mining Facility. Out of nowhere taking us by surprise a Molly destroyed showed it's face joining the Communists. With great coordination and outstanding work by our guys all three capital ships were destroyed, George Teeze giving them the last blow.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to inform you that Flight Officer Lilliana Leicestershire passed away on January 30th 825. Miss Leicestershire was brought to the Royal London Capital Hospital at 19:48 Sirian Standard Time, suffering third degree burns from her chest downwards the entire body and multiple organ failure. She was declared dead at 20:37 Sirian Standard Time. Our doctors tried very hard, but her injuries were too heavy. May her soul rest in peace.
Yours faithfully,

A few hours ago while I was enjoying a bear with my friend on a bar on Planet Cambridge, I received an urgent message that some of Bretonia's Armed Forces capitals are raiding the Gallic occupied Magellan system. Due to some interference the message arrived to me a bit too late. By the time I got myself in Magellan system the battle seemed to be over. I had no idea how it ended, how many casualties we had. It was just open space.
Suddenly I spot on the radar Senior Flight Office George Teeze. I tired to rush to him as fast as I could because three Gallic ships were shooting at Mr. Teeze. Right when I got close to him, his ship got blown up by a mine. Fortunately he managed to eject out of the ship and got back home in one piece. The three Gallic ships got aware of my presence and decided that I must be eliminated too. Unfortunately it was a really bad day for them. None of them managed to stay alive after they engaged me.
It was a quick in and out operation. Did as much damage as i could and returned home.

Today while I was flying in New London space a distress call appeared on my screen. A Gateway transport was having problems with a group of Gallics near the Manchester jump gate. When I got there I found a "Taureau" Gallic Armored Transport and a light fighter. I took immediate
action and pursued the transport. The Gateway captain gave me a hand and after a few minutes of shooting the Gallic was dead, last blow being given by the fellow Bretonian trader. I rushed back to see what was the light fighter doing but to my surprise more frogs showed their face. Deckman Gilberto Salazar and Lt. Lizzie Wednesday and police officer Canberra were already engaged in a fight.
The Gallic forces consisted in two light fighters, a very heavy fighter, a bomber and a battleship. The fight was rough and we had some casualties but I think our people got alive in their escape pods. Police Officer Carrie Winters came in our aid towards the end of the battle.
The fight ended in our victory. All small ships were eliminated and the battleship cloaked away, running like a coward. Unfortunately for my personal kill list only the very heavy fighter and a light fighter have been added, but I call it a good day.

Good day everyone, after a trader passing by Southampton Shipyard alerted our patrols about a possible Gallic incursion in the system, I launched in my bomber to patrol the area, and what a surprise I got when outside the shipyard there was a Corsair Cruiser shooting against the destroyers stationed outside. I decided to delay the escape of the cruiser while reinforcements arrived, those in the form of Lt. Lizzie Wednesday, we started a persecution of the cruiser, who got to escape to Newcastle, fortunately for us, we managed to stop him near the Belfast Production Facility and we proceeded to destroy the pirate.
After that, we received reports about the Gallic incursion, so we returned to New London and managed to delay two fighters before they reinforced the Gallic transport in Manchester, the rest is already reported by Division Commander Marcus Boone, so no need to repeat everything here again, all I can add is that I'm awaiting for my new bomber as the last one was destroyed in the dogfight.
Thought for the day: Loyalty is its own reward.
