Bonjour,
Two days ago, we attempted with a combined force of the Marine and the Secondary fleet to break the defensive lines around New London Planet and quickly retreat after that.
We found Libertonians and Bretonians vessels around the planet and we engaged them. During the engagement we had the surprise to have the Brotherhood coming and 'assisting' us against the Bretonians and Libertonians. I'd say they rather prefered to shoot the enemy because they were there and really helping but still.
We have been quickly outnumbered in major assets, the RNS-Tourmaline falling the enemy warships. Though, while the Corsairs managed to take down the enemy fighters, while our bombers were focusing on the captial ships. We destroyed them all, as the enemy squadrons, not without few Corsairs lost.
Certainly, we couldn't have the victory without this unexpected help.
