Bonjour,
I have some excellent news to report. The Battle of Provence went swimmingly, and we were able to destroy the Battleship Oblique, along with around 25 Battleships escorting it. Both the Crayterians and Counselliards lost their chance to take over Provence, and while they had the numerical advantage, our superior tactics were more than a match for them.
I flew an Eclipse Bomber into combat, equipped with the finest Royal tech, from Cannes Resort Station. From there, I assisted the Arles and her escort, and personally fired the shot that took out the Battleship Oblique. The Arles eventually suffered from internal damage, and was destroyed during the battle. However, many of our warships were able to escape to Ile-de-France, after making sure that the Council and Crayterians were unable to capture the Provence system.
The GRI has contacted our forces, and reports that they were able to wreck Hyeres Anchorage through excessive sabotage. Their Battlecruiser, the RNS-Sisteron, will be deployed in our place to secure what assets we still have in Provence, and to watch for any repeated invasion efforts by our enemies.
I am proud to have personally killed the Oblique, and several of it's escort ships for The Crown, and as I wait for repairs on my Eclipse bomber, I know we were triumphant in this conflict. May we score many more victories in the future of this caliber, and may The Crown last ten thousand more years!
