Bonjour soldiers,
This evening was quite unusual for somebody like me, but I am glad we all did well and survived one more day on the front. First of all we've received a report about gunboat of the Bretonian Privateers lurking around Indochine in Gironde system. While en route to Indochine I've received a call from friendlies in Ariége requesting reinforcements against Bretonian spy. With lone Lynx I couldn't stand a chance against Privateer so I quickly changed course to Ariége instead in order to support Capitaine Moreau. En route, I met that Privateer Gunboat which tried to chase me, however with better agility of my vessel I managed to gain some time to regroup with Capitaine at Holman outpost. There we decided to engage the Privateer with assistance of Holman and surrounding stations. However we had to retreat back very soon as Bretonian spy and yet another Privateer arrived to Holman. Luckily one of our Gunboats arrived as well and we were able to engage Bretonian fools. We took down their gunboat, but before that we had lost Capitaine Moreau to their forces. Capitaine's pod was secured and with "Destin" we engaged remaining forces of Bretonia. Heavily outnumbered we managed to hold them for a while before Sous-Lieutenant Patulacci arrived and assisted us. Queen Carina's Privateer went down shortly after their Gunboat, then Bretonian Armed Forces lost Ensign went down by guns of "Destin" and finally one more of the Carina's Privateers went down by my and Patulacci's hands. Bretonian spy managed to flee even if he resupplied once against us and one Privateer managed to escape during fight, leaving his comrades to die. What a hero.
This was a great battle for us! We lost one bomber of Capitaine Moreau who sucessfuly distracted Bretonians for a short time, but long enough for us to eliminate their gunboat.
Hostile forces lost one(1) Gunboat, three(3) Templars and one(1) Raven's Talon and one(1) Templar cowardly escaped from the battle.
A bit later I went to Tau-37 where I found one(1) Passenger liner filled up by Slaves confiscated by IMG. They handled situation well and left me with no work. Soon enough however a Lane Hacker transport arrived to the system. With absence of Cruise Disruptor I could do nothing and meanwhile IMG disappeared suspiciously fast from radar so I couldn't request any help from them. On the other hand however, I managed to get some of Hacker's Counterfeit Software for a small price. Hopefully GRI will find out more about these things.
That's all however, visual evidence is attached below. Hopefully someone, probably Capitaine Moreau will describe what we have found out about Kruger during the trip to our homeworld.
