Sender: Major Damien Chevalier Recipient: Marine Nationale Gauloise Subject: Skirmish with the Maquis in Lorraine
Bonjour,
La Marine Nationale Gauloise victoriously defeated two Maquis battle-cruisers this afternoon in the Lorraine system. Their attempt at disruption ended with both vessels destroyed at the hand of the response force mustered by the vessels in the area.
The first sign of trouble was detected by Battleship Vernissieux's radar officers, who picked up one intruder in its vicinity. I immediately deployed from their hangar aboard my bomber to reconnoitre the area. It wasn't long before a first problematic vessel appeared on my contacts list. Engaging them in a chase, I realized I was being led into a second vessel. As I veered into a closer pass, I identified both ships as refurbished Gallic battle-cruisers, broadcasting Maquis nonsense in the radio channels.
As I was circling them and signalling for reinforcements, battleship Sombre Destin arrived from the Burgundy jump gate and we engaged the miscreants, focusing our attention on the Révolutionnaire. I came at them again and again, keeping their shields down, as Sombre Destin was taking the brunt of the assault. The combined heat from the two vessels was starting to make a dent in the MNG battleship, even though they were taking some heavy damage themselves.
It's at this moment that we were joined by the battleship Grande Harmonie, which allowed us to split the attackers and send them on the defensive. Our new ally made short work of what was left of Le Brethon, whist Sombre Destin and I kept the Révolutionnaire in check.
Both vessels were destroyed; MNG suffered no loss. The Maquis crews were retrieved and delivered for processing on Montbrison.
Marine Nationale Gauloise, Major Damien Chevalier.
