I began the patrol at Planet New London and headed up to Southampton shipyard where I contacted by Sgt Miranda Bailey who was shadowing a Kusari Naval Officer behind planet Leeds. I was commanded to locate and escort Mazu|Akima who I lost contact with past Stokes, as ordered I waited mid tradelane for the Kusari who was escorted to the Stokes tradelane. Afterwards we headed to New London to escort two Liberty transports through to Graves Station in Dublin.
On route back to New London we made contact with a Reaver, Sgt Bailey engaged the contact while I escorted the transports through the jumpgate to New London. Sgt Bailey reformed with the transports and continued with the Reaver in persuit, eventually the Reaver lost interest as we headed to the Manchester system. The transports departed towards Liberty space unfazed by the persuit.
Once the transports where gone, Sgt Bailey brought my equipment up to standard, gave me a rundown of operational procedure and tested my combat abilities in a Paladin v Paladin simulation. Being a trader and clocking only a few hours flight in fighter craft, I was given a passable grade and recommended to switch to a Hussar light fighter. Sgt Bailey departed shortly after recommending I fly a Hussar in order to hone my abilities.
A small time afterwards I made contact with Mazu|Akima heading towards planet New London, I persued only to be ambushed by a second Akuma. Initial attempts to avoid a firefight were unsucessful, a dogfight ensued, evasive flight patterns were employed but the combined fire of the two Akuma's proved too much and my Paladin was severly damaged. I have spoken to the quartermaster and agreed to exchange ships to a Hussar.

A standard patrol to begin with starting at Cambridge and working my way up to Leeds, the usual traders plying the lanes, all fair and above board. Upon arrival at Leeds TLAGSNET picked up Yoru|Akuma enter the system from Tau. I positioned myself to intercept however the pilot did not encroach into Bretonian space (see image 1) and promptly departed.
Much later during the second half of my patrol TLAGSNET alerted me to a hostile entering the Cambridge system, the scans showed it to be one CN|Dada in a bomber class ship, needless to say I set course immediately. Upon confrontation, I demanded the Corsair leave system twice, the reply was clear (see image 2). A prolonged and intense dogfight ensued, clearly outgunned and with a constant exchange of disruptor fire I had no choice but to fight to the bitter end.
It became quite apparent very early on that CN|Dada's defenses were several times stronger than my own, prompting a shift in tactics which proved marginally successful. However my own inexperience with such demanding maenouvers proved to be my downfall, after causing moderate damage to the Corsair my ship was hit with an antimatter weapon giving me little time to eject before my ship exploded.
Left floating in my escape pod, I awaited death or capture at the hands of my opponent, to my relief he spared my life sending a single transmission "You fight well amigo."
I have piloted my pod back to Cambridge where I will rest until my new Paladin is outfitted.

This patrol was nothing like I have ever experienced. I started my patrol from Cambridge and headed up to Leeds, all was quiet in New London and Manchester, a few traders nothing out of the usual.
On entering Leeds, TLAGSNET picked up a Reaver bomber heading towards the battleship H.M.S Grand Mantayo (sp?) just off Stokes Smelter already engaged with Kusari forces. No call for assistance was issued but the addition of the bomber had obviously tipped the scales. Not wanting to see the Reavers and Kusari claim victory I engaged the Reaver, drawing fire from the battleship, a few KNF ships broke off from the battleship to engage me. Eventually myself and Grand Mantayo returned to Leeds safetly with only minor damage.
Several minutes after returning, a Gaian ship appeared on sensors, a warning was issued. Soon after the Gaian returned with a gunboat wingman, fortunately a BAF Convoy was assembling outside Leeds and proved to be most helpful in dispatching the Gaian gunboat along with a notable freelancer Mr Voncloud who was issued with a 1 mill reward for his services. No sooner had the battle ended when the Reaver attempted to destroy my ship, this time seen off by the Convoy ships and myself.
A final battle was to be had when two Ghosts~ once again attempted to destroy my ship, again I was aided by the Convoy ships and a BAF Cdre John Clay who laid the final blow to Ghost~of~Sao~Fang (see image 1). Only one image was recorded as thankfully the systems returned to their usual peaceful ways.
Addendum: A ship by the name of Blacktrade refused to pay a fine of 6,450,000 for moving small arms without a lincense. He was caught in the Leeds system but the appearance of an AI forced the move to the Ark Royal in Newcastle where he prompty docked and vanished ((F1'd)).

I apologise in advance if my report is somewhat fragmented I sustained several injuries and minor trauma in the line of duty during the course of the days events. Medical has cleared me for duty but recommends a day of recuperation or in the least, light duty.
My patrol begin in the Cambridge system, TLAGSNET had picked up a Corsair ship sat in the tradelane between Cambridge and the battleship Norfolk. I procceded to intercept the Corsair only to discover a dreadnought piloted by a man calling himself "Revenge" I called for backup immediately. Terrified out of my wits, I attempted to keep him talking while reinforcements arrived, this worked for a short time as he was fully aware that I had called for help. The dreadnought opened fire catching the tail of my Hussar while I attempted to avoid his salvos, I believe I fired off a single disrupter to stop him fleeing back into omega as the reinforcements had just entered the system. The only thing I can recall is a flash of turret fire after that I woke up in A&E on Cambridge several hours later with my wife at my bedside. Apparently my ship had been destroyed just as the reinforcements arrived. The Corsair ship had managed to escape badly damaged according to Sargeant Bailey who visited me while I recovered.
Several hours later I was back in my Hussar patrolling New London tradelanes where I came across a junker named Tarantoga whose ship matched the hull profile of a Slave Liner. I questioned him about his ship, destination and cargo, he became quite irrate during the questioning. Among other topics his distain for the BAF was mentioned several times, after his diatribe Tarantoga requested an escort to Manchester along with a fellow junker who never spoke, I begrudingly agreed.
Mid-lane he informed me of a pirate named Seritago who had attempted to pirate him previously, no sooner had we exited the tradelane the aforementioned pirate cruised into scanner range piloting an Outcast gunboat. I demanded a fine for acts of attempted piracy and to depart Bretonian space immediately, he refused and barged his way through the Manchester jumpgate. Tarantoga gave chase followed by myself and his junker wingman, Seritago attempt to escape via tradelane with was disrupted by Tarantoga, I gave the pirate one last chance to pay up. Refusing I asked Tarantoga and his wingman to assist me in engaging the pirate, who gladly agreed.
The battle was difficult, the gunboat focused his fire upon Tarantoga while his wingman and I drained the Outcast's shield, fortunately a BAF ship the HMS Audacious entered the fray giving us much needed fire support. After a well place salvo from the Audacious and Mr Tarantoga, the gunboat was destroyed, the pilot's pod tractored and placed under arrest (see image 1). Seritago is currently in a New London police station awaiting trial.
I once again resumed my patrol, forming up with Sargeant Bailey and heading to Leeds to apprehend a blockade runner PreditorX, however a group of Corsairs appeared on scope the Benitez family. Several BAF ships were already in position around planet Leeds preparing to engage the pirates, along with several freelancers, Cdr J Sinclair commanding. The attack was swift, destroying two Benitez ships but at the cost of Sargeant Bailey's paladin, who placed me under the command of Cdr Sinclair. The remaining Corsair ships fled leaving a Molly who quickly turned upon a MM assisting us, the BAF fleet, myself and several freelancers gave chase encountering two Hessian ships, possibly gunboats or destroyers near the Dublin jumphole. Both ships were engaged and destroyed by our fleet (see images 2 & 3) after a hard fought battle whereafter we proceeded into Dublin in persuit of two Molly ships a gunboat Michael_the_3 and a destroyer The.Journeyman. I was assigned to attack the destroyer and disrupt any attempts to escape. The gunboat was destroyed just beyond the range of the Londonderry jumphole, the destroyer however entered the jumphole critically damaged. Cdr Sinclair disengaged and left HMS Royal Sovereign in commander who ordered a persuit into the Londonderry system where the destroyer was finally put to rest (image 4), we hastened a retreat back to Leeds where I caught the blockade runner PreditorX. I attempted to apprehend the suspect who engaged his cruise engines, which where disrupted he promptly fled into the Leeds atmosphere ((ooRP docked)) and which point my scanners lost his signal.
I returned to my regular duties following the loss of the blockade runner, a trader by the name of Withworth requested an escort to the edge of the Manchester system, news of the gunboat battle in system distressing him. A freelancer pilot with the call sign H.G also accompanied us, escorting Mr Witworth past the Manchester jumpgate. During our journey H.G showed interest in possibly joining the BPA if he becomes uninterested in freelancing, he is a solid fighter and a reasonable man, if not a tad trigger happy as most freelancers are. I believe, with due training, he may become an asset to the Authority.

Greetings Junior Constable Ollivander Croft
You have passed all needed criteria for the next rank and I am proud to announce that
on behalf of Bretonia Police Authority command I promote you to Constable - keep up the good work.
This Sergeant Miranda Bailey. I would like to make report of some of the cases I was on latly. My apology for delay with making them. I try to keep futher reports flow in order.
Case 1
I was on regular patrol around New London and Leeds system. Making sure the lanes and traffic is safe. Apart of rookies distrupting the lanes there wasn't anything particular going on. Then I was contacted by Commodore Clay. He asked me to assist them with Prisoner transfer mission. I joined them at Planet Leeds. We headed Edinburgh. On the way there Mr Clay was atacked and under heavy fire had to fall back to Dublin to Battleship Essex. He managed to dock. While Mr Clay was avoiding Reavers and Mollies , Me , Ensign James Campbell and prison ship BAF|HMP-Glasshouse managed to safly get to Battleship Stirling in Dundee and get the prisoners. We set off to Newcastle to avoid atackers that wanted to get Commodore Clay. I was on lead from the battleship. I firstly escorted the convoy to Newcastle then to Manchester JH. When we jumped from Newcastle to Manchester , Commodore Clay was waiting for us there. We safly arrived in Newgate. After that we went to New London , Prison transfer mission was a success.
Case 2
Just after the prisoner convoy I have intercepted via TLAGSNET transport carrying artifacts.
Suspect was intercepted just outside Kensington station. He wasn't stoping or even trying to explain himself. After few orders to stop, he didn't comply and after warning salvo on his shields he opened fire on my vessel. I was forced to call Ensing Campbell and Commodore Clay who were passing by to assist me and by joined forced we destoyed the smuggler. Artifacts has been captured by BPA)Liongate[CCD] who was in the area. All evidance has been moved to New London planet.
GUNCAM FILES: File 1 File 2
When I arrived to secure the evidance Commodore Clay asked me to send back up for Ensign Campbell who was fighting with a Gaian just outside Kensington. I arrived there and with joined powers we managed to destroy the Gaian's Eagle who badly damaged crashed into planet's orbit. I managed to capture all the civillian pods he was carrying. No casualties have been noted. Gaian most likely didn't survive the crash.
Case 3
While I was on regular patrol, watching the TLAGSNET I have intercepted Omicroners ship with Human Organs in the cargo bay. I have intercepted the ship at Cambridge Jump gate in New London and after checking his papers I escorted it to Manchester and Cortez Gate. There wasn't any trouble on the way and transport left Bretonia safly.
GUNCAM FILES: File 1 File 2 File 3 File 4 File 5
Case 4
On my way back after escorting Omicroners ship , I saw a barge class ship heading Manchester gate in New London - I decided that stoping traffic will allow this Junker to leave the system safly without ramming into potential smaller civillian ships. After minutes of making sure no ships crash into the barge pilot managed to dock and continue safly. He refused the escort so after he jumped I decided to continue my patrol.
GUNCAM FILES: File 1 File 2 File 3
Case 5
I was commanding brand new CCD ship - Liongate. Me and Constable Olivander Croft made a prisoner exchange run. With mr Croft as an escort and me commanding the Liongate we managed to deliver the prisoners to Sugarland and then bring back some Light Arms from Ditroit to Gateshead in Newcastle. There were no problems on the way to and from Liberty. I must admit Constable Croft was great help in all covnoy process.
GUNCAM FILES: File 1 File 2 File 3 File 4 File 5
Case 6
I was scanning comming ships on Planet Leeds orbit when a ship by the name of BAF|Dublin undocked from planet. He wasn't causing my trouble for a minute..then he started to distrupt the lane to New London gate. I told him to stop and that opening fire , especialy with Heavy Mortars and Mortars so close to upcomming civillian ships is dangerous. He ignored my request. After several times I finally ordered him to stop and told him that there is a proper fine for distrupting lanes - of 500 000 credits - he suddenly and without any warning opened fire on my with his Solaris turrets...unfortunetly I was too close and Hussar's armor plates didn't survive his fire. My ship was destroyed and I am awaiting replacement. I am using Paladin till that happens. I forwarded this case to BAF admirality and as far as I know the captain of BAF Dublin has been captured and dealt with.
Case 7
I was moving some supplies from New London to Cambridge on Liongate. When I arrived at Cambridge planet orbit I saw a hacker gunship flying in a distance. I asked him twice to leave the area at once. After that I used force and I had chance to test the Liongate weaponry. It works just fine. Hacker's ship was destroyed and his pod was delivered to Newgate.
GUNCAM FILES: File 1 File 2 File 3 File 4
Case 8
One one of my patrols in New London I have intercepted and followed two Hessians. They were heading the asteroid field and in the distance I believe I saw a destroyed ship...possibly a mobile Molly instalation. Both of them docked within the station and after restocking they atacked me. I managed to avade the atackers. TLAGSNET detected them leaving into Omegas soon after that.
Suspects names:
Gran Gallenstein - Roc Bomber
Roter Baron - Hessian Heimdall Gunship
Unfortunetly due to damaged done to my ship all data captured was corrupted.
Case 9
Today on my way from Edinburgh I intecepted a KNF scout near Planet Leeds. I followed it into Nebula and all the way to New London gate, at the same time I asked for BAF assistance and Captain Lawrance arrived. I distrupted the Kusarian and he asked for a fair fight for his life which Captain Lawrance accepted - I was covering the dueling pilots in case of any rookies try to atack them and as I expected the Molly gunboat patrol arrived. I took the escorts and the ship down. Soon after that Captain Lawrance destroyed the KNF ship, Kusarian pilot managed to eject himself. His pod is missing.
GUNCAM FILES: File 1 File 2 File 3 File 4

Today on my patrol I have escorted two ships:
1.Bowex military vehicles transport - Rostron
Intercepted in New London outside Kensington, delivered his cargo to Planet Leeds wihtout any trouble.
2.Interspace Commerce ship - Defiant
He was carrying Synth Paste to Graves and taking Gold to Fort Bush. I escorted him to Graves and then to Planet Leeds when he left in direction of Magellan jumphole.

This is Sergeant Bailey patrol report. File nr 729.
Case 1
We have been patroling with Sergeant Reena Wright and a pilot from seconday police force Shawn Frankson. I must admit Mr Frankson was doing great job. We have been contacted by BMM miners in Dublin that there is some kind of Corsairs ship in the fields.
We went there to investigate and on the scene just outside the asteroid field in sector 2/3 F/G there was a warship , Osiris class, codename Mastema. Scanns indicated that it is armed against fighters and bombers atack and since we were a force of 2 Fighters and one bomber I decided to call for back up. After few minutes of trying to convince said Corsair to leave Dublin we engaged the ship with little effect - we managed to distruct him while HMS Sherwood Forest - Bretonian battleship - came in range to engage the target. Battle started for good and after few minutes of serious firefight Mastema's hull has been breached and ship exploded after final Mortar blast.
GUNCAM FILES: File 1
Case 2
After we started patrol with Reena we have intercepted a Ghost group member...He complied to be escorted to Newgate. When we arrived there his gang member was waiting to save him. It appears that the one we captured is a the leader of the Ghosts, he was adressed as a "BOSS". His gang member destroyed his ship but we captured the pod. Leader's name is Jack Lenoir going by the nickname Ghost of Pirates. The gang member trying to save him infront of Newgate was Ghost of Louis Gargneray. The last one managed to escape and hide on the Hackers instalation in Magellan. Pod of mr Lenoir was safly recovered and secured in Newgate. I am sending a formal request to make a special prisoner convoy to move this serious villain to Texas. We cannot provide as much security as Sugarland and when the target is gone from Bretonia there is less chance he will ever get back. It's our chance to bring an end to the Ghost gang terrorising our sector. As a side not: I was contacted soon after the capture of Mr Lenoir by a pilot who introduced himself as Commander Dong Bin of the Ghosts. He told me that the captured leader is not exacly welcome by all the Ghosts members and he is considered by some of them as a traitor. Even so getting him out of Bretonia should be our priority.
