Ladies and Gentlemen, It has come to my attention that action must be taken on the Bretonian Frontlines, they need our help. I'm sure that some of you may have encountered Gallic Naval ships within the Magellan system, even now, while the Leeds Defense Fleet still stands. If we do not help our Bretonian allies now, I fear the worst.
If Bretonia were to fall now, and come under the thumb of a Gallic occupation force, it would simply be catastrophic, for the Bretonian people, and inevitably our own.
It is with this in mind, that I am using what authority I've been granted, to order the mobilization of a composite battlegroup, with the intention of deploying to Bretonian space as a standing force to assist in the defense of Leeds.
I am seeking volunteers for this mission, as the fighting there will likely be much more intense than what we've faced during the Rheinland conflict.
I do not take this decision lightly, I would not ask that you who volunteer walk into this alone, as such, I will be deploying with you, aboard the Bunker Hill.
Now...this battlegroup will require the following:
3x Gunboat class ships, Counting the Bunker Hill.
3x Upholder class bombers.
2x Guardian/Avenger fighters.
1x Bison Heavy Transport/Supply ship.
Our mission in Bretonia will consist primarily of aiding or augmenting the Leeds Defense Fleet, protecting the Bretonian people and pushing back Gallic incursion groups.
I await a response, and I know that there are those among you who are both brave and dedicated enough to volunteer for this mission, and ensure it's success.
