Hail Overwatch.
I am reporting in after several skirmishes against the Bretonian Armed Forces in the system.
Unfortunately even though the skirmishes went well I am sad to report that Gran Canaria has fallen to Bretonia.
The Zoners have concluded what appears to have been the largest bulk of their evacuation these last few days, going so far as to load up migrants in cargo pods out of desperation to get to safety. Needless to say the large amount of traffic also provided an opportunity for smugglers to bring in their goods which resulted in several factions including the Coalition, the Hessians and Bretonia to crack down. As many ships were slowed by these cargo inspections the evacuation was incomplete and many Zoner Migrants still remain planet side in the hope to be evacuated.
Meanwhile, more and more Bretonian battleships have been entering the system. While I'm confident I can stand my ground against other fighter pilots and the occasional gunboat, I'm afraid these ships are simply beyond the capabilities of my current ship to take on.
Chatter on the system radio speaks of Bretonia moving out to annex Aland Shipyard in the Omega 3 system next, no doubt to try and regain some ship production capabilities now Galia is at their doorstep. I'll set course to the Omega 3 system and investigate the current situation there to see if there are any opportunities to strike a major blow against the crown.
Once I have assessed the situation in the system I'll submit my next report.
