*Sip*
Ahh, nothing like a refreshing cup of tea. Down to business.
I was patrolling New London when I came across a Molly in a Sabre. After a long and grueling battle it was destroyed by my mine. I then headed to Cambridge as several unknown contacts were there. Low and behold I found TWO yes TWO corsair cruisers sitting at Planet Cambridge. I called for mandalorian backup, but the corsairs left before they could get there.
Once the Mandalores arrived, the |NoFear| ship, Mrav was detected. I told the mandalores to hold back as this was personal and he would've just run if they had engaged. His bomber slowy withered under my guns and mines until he had no nanobots or shield batteries, while I still had 26 bots. He then ran, and as I had no more cruise disruptors, he escaped. I docked and repaired and suddenly he dove straight into the planet...poor soul, I hope he is alive...not!:lol:
Anyway, we sat there for awhile and some DW ships came along. DW, or Dark Wing, is a Bounty Hunter group, and apparently they had a bounty on the mandalores. They openned fire with a fighter and two gunships against the two mandalore gunships. I ordered a cease fire but they wouldn't stop, so I engaged. Soon they were all destroyed with no damage to any of us. I strongly suggest all DW ships be blacklisted.
Now I come to the bittersweet part of my report. A traders distress signal was sent to me from omega-3, I arrived and distracted the corsair chasing him. After a breif fight my mine destroyed us both. The BAF ships in the area picked me up and I am currently resting on planet cambridge.
Sir Lauderdale, if I made this armory I am afraid it would start in a clydesdale, as I don't have the funds for a perchion.

Regarding the armoury, that is perfectly fine. I'll funnel some credits your way too.
As for the DarkWing fighters, they are going to have to be placed on our wanted list. The Mandalorian Mercenaries have assisted us many times in the past and have always stood on the side of the law. They will be defended, whether or not there is a contract.
Otherwise, brilliant work!
Mr. Scott, I'd also like you to join me for some earl grey and crumpets tomorrow morning, if you can. I'll meet you outside New London.

Great news mates! Our very own Percheron armory has just lifted off from the shipyards of New London. Thanks to the donations of the trader Tel'Tak and the BAF bomber, who also commands a battleship, Charles.Heydon. Thanks to their contrabutions and selfless efforts to help Bretonia I now have the following onboard.

I've been off the flightline for the past week trying to find parts for my Arrow...such an uncommon, expensive interceptor is proving a major headache! Been considering putting in a request for a Hussar, given the successes Constable Scott's been having with his. However, I'd need a few credits...as expensive as the Arrow is, she doesn't sell for much. I'll leave the final decision up to the brass as to what fighter I fly.

Gentlemen,
as some of you already know, today's patrol was a very succesful one.
While scanning and patroling the area of New London and Leeds, we welcomed a new comrade, Constable Shaun Roxburg. He was outfitted with a shiny Hussar and up to date equipment.
We took off to Dublin, as the usual Leprechaun threat decided to show itself.
While gathering at the Essex, the enemy appeared on the scanners: three Union of Gold vessels, Supercluster in a Werewolf, Alkor in a Sabre and a third yet unidentified one, Absolute.
The latter somehow managed to disintegrate before arriving at the scene:
Well, one Molly less, no complaints here. On Sir Lauderdales order, we engaged. Soon, the Werewolf fell to our superior Hussars:
Constable Roxburg proved to be an excellent addition to our ranks, way to go! The Sabre was - as expected - a tad more annoying due to it's agility. Nothing to fear for us though, and Sir Lauderdale showed the bandit where his kind belongs to:
After the fight, we had a short tea party on the Queen at Essex but soon continued business as the known enemy Ze'ev's Rage appeared on our long range scanners!
We headed to New London and then to Leeds, where Sgt. Scott managed to stop the vessel. With support from the BAF-Holy Grail we soon took care of that danger in our beloved Bretonia:
The crew was taken into arrest and is currently in medical treatment on Leeds. Our enemies have to be punished, yet the Queen is a generous person!
To conclude, a great day for the BPA! Four threats to Bretonia's safety destroyed and no casualties on our side. Gentlemen, we can surely be proud!
' Wrote:I ask Ordi'nni[M] to come help me in cambridge. I arrived at the planet to find both of them there. Then ordinni arrived and soon mrav was running towards the planet in his bomber.
I have gotten my revenge, let this serve as a warning to all who want to make enemies of the BPA! In addition friends, my support for the mission, ordinni, was paid 1million from my personal account for his assistance.

RED ALERT! We have an infiltration of the comms center! Who are you? What is this...how...dare you! Or'dinii, destroyed! You will pay whoever you are! Sir Lauderdale, we need a more secure comm channel! This must stop!
Ooooh, so you managed to kill the weakest class of gunship in Sirius with your shiny Corsair cruiser? Bravo, sir, bravo. No doubt it took all of your surely considerable skill to do that. I can see from that camera shot that you took some considerable damage in the skirmish. My brother's in the BAF, and their bomber wing has already taken care of cruisers better-armed than yours. Your threats are empty, No|Fear. You may destroy some of our ships, but in the end, victory belongs to the Queen.

***Subject: What Should I Do With This Thing...***
Well, I traced the source of the transmission, sir, and found the Cruiser this little squad of...Corsairs? I can't tell, really; just earlier I have sighted their pilots in Bounty Hunter Bombers and Sabers...had parked out in the old debris fields out behind Southampton...I proceeded up in my Hussar, accompanying several of our fine SWAT bomber pilots, who promptly leveled the shields on this rather...slipshod craft and took off the engines. They forced entry, have killed several but captured most of the crew, and would like to know what to do with this cruiser? Southampton is a relatively short distance away, should they set course there?
In other news, earlier today was...interesting, to say the least. Throughout our patrols we encountered some Leprechauns with a strange sense of humor, but managed to run them off. Later, we encountered even more No|Fear craft, this time another bomber from Rostock and, of all things, a Saber! Rather odd choice of ship for ones with a Corsair Cruiser and a BHG Bomber...indeed, all of these are odd ship choices. We pressured them to pay their rather hefty fine; they refused. One, the Saber, managed to escape to the Tradelane, but we got the Bomber, and I personally forced him into the planet's atmosphere. Almost didn't make it out myself...there was no way he could have survived.
Lastly, my ship draws nearer to full operational status. My Transponder still needs tweaking and I lack a capable mine launcher, but I have managed to upgrade my shield as far as the Hussar will allow, and have acquired a piece of...ordinance, I suppose would be the best word. The Cannonball Missile. I've traded one of my Splitters out for it, and it is surprisingly effective, though one often has to ride it all the way to the target and bolter at the last moment...I'm thinking of switching it out for a Firestalker. It packs half the explosive, but it has much better himing capabilities, and may be suited for the kind of actions we, as the Queen's policemen, take to disable and not destroy suspect craft...
I also come with a suggestion: Int he future we may wish to see if the Navy might be able to spare an older Destroyer, in the event we should encounter more such craft as this Praefect cruiser...some situations require heavier firepower, and requiring the SWAT bombers to do it all will tire them eventually.
That's all I have to report for now, sirs. Cheerio!
