A GRN Valor, RNS Corvette, entered Magellan earlier today. It was rapidly set upon by a joint Raider and Colonial defense force, along with two freelancers - Matilda Antioch was one, who claimed the critical blow to the ship's reactor. The name of the other isn't in my reports. As Matilda flew a Raven assault fighter, landing such a critical blow demonstrates a knack for either timing or precision - either would be useful.
The ship travelled alone, without escort. This demonstrates that either the Gauls are getting arrogant, or they're giving their captains some leeway that is getting misused. Unfortunately, we had mustered a greater force than strictly necessary, and they will likely attempt to compensate in the future.
Due to the sudden nature of the engagement, we were unable to get detailed scans of the Corvette, so unfortunately I can't relay any more detailed information than that. From what I have seen on the video feed, however, she appears to have been fit for heavy anti-warship combat, and is thus vulnerable to smaller strike craft - a common configuration for the Valor-class, as I understand.
Essentially, the point of this message is two-fold - reporting a repelled Gallic incursion into Magellan, and alerting you to a Freelancer that's interested in fighting the Gallic menace.
