Corsairs Armada Thwarted in Omicron Theta:
Good news to report. I've just returned from a long range patrol to the Omicrons again. This time it was to assist our friends in the Apostatas against an attack by a Creten armada. It seems the Custodi was behind organizing the attack. Somehow their base location was discovered and they were forced to put out a distress call. Luckily many volunteer forces arrived in the system to back them up, and formed a formidable defense force. A large fleet of Corsairs dreadnoughts arrived within a day and began laying siege to the installation Puerto de Nueva Hispania.
I observed from above and relayed tactical data back to the defense fleet that was assembling at a rendezvous point not far away. Once assembled, they moved in. Much to our surprise, the attacking fleet withdrew to a fallback position and jumped away to safety. They tried to approach from another angle, but the defenders caught up with them. Their lines broke, and their fleet gave way. Some harrassing attacks occured since, but it seems they have a decent chance of holding out against further attacks, due to the support of the local population and friendly forces. I stayed to observe until things died down and it was safe to slip out of the area.
The only other thing to note was found in passing the Southampton wreck junction. If not already documented, I am pleased to confirm that the Gallic Royal Navy battleship Beuvray was indeed lost recently during the battles to reinforce New London with Liberty Siege Cruisers. The wreck is now clearly visable not far from the wreck of the York.
