⧫ ENCRYPTION: Order-EC[L] Patrol Report
Hail Overwatch.
It is with heavy heart that I can confirm that Bretonia has made hostile moves on Aland Shipyard in the Omega 3 system.
During my patrol of the system I came across two BAF fighters, as my cloak was running low and the noise it was giving off seemed to tip them off to my presence I quickly went back to restock. Once I returned however, a full blown battle had broken out. IMG, ALG and the Corsairs were fighting against the Bretonian forces, now consisting of a battleship, gunboat, bomber and two VHF snub vessels.
Not intending to merely standby I decloaked and announced my intentions to aid the non-Bretonian vessels. The Bretonians didn't last too long, they had brought fairly big guns with their battleship but the local ALG fleet proved its match. Eventually all Bretonian vessels were eliminated with I believe one casualty on our side in the form of a Corsair. Considering how the corsair had valiantly fought against the Bretonians and that the fight was right next to Aland Shipyard, I like to imagine IMG picked up the lifepod and sent him on his way as a sign of gratitude.
After the fight was over I took the opportunity to discuss some matters with the vessels present, my presense in the system was revealed now anyway after all.
The IMG vessels confirmed that Bretonia had brought in a large group of vessels to the shipyard, and that they (IMG) opened fire shortly after the Bretonians brought in a battleship to the shipyard.
It seems the Bretonians are making a desperate play, setting their aims on more systems much like they did with Omega 49. What complete lack of tact and intelligence they're
displaying for assaulting even more factions while they're already so desperately losing a war is beyond me, but it is fact regardless.
As I flew away after the encounter I ran into a Bretonian destroyer, no doubt backup that arrived far too late. I announced its presence to the rest of the system, something that the Corsairs enjoyed immensely. We joined forces briefly, forcing the ship to dock at a battleship near planet Sprague. When I left the Corsairs and the destroyers captain were in a heated debate regarding the virtue of the Bretonian queen. Needless to say the Corsairs didn't have a very high opinion on her, though the Bretonian captain did reveal, in a systemwide announcement, that she was a lesbian and was sleeping with the Corsairs mother. Odd how quickly war can bring out the most unexpected behavior in people.
I have included several images of the guncams as an attachment to this report, as well as the audio logs picked up during the encounter.
I have not yet received a response from the Corsairs regarding my previously sent message, but the presence of Corsairs in the system reassures me they have seen it. Additionally, the Corsairs reassured me they'd contact their higher ups to inquire regarding its progress.
On a final unrelated note, I came across Dexter Hovis himself, unfortunately he arrived just mere moments too late to join in on the fight, but I'm sure a reknown racer like him siding against Bretonia is sure to inspire at least a few others to take up arms as well against the crown.

[05.03.2019 19:40:26] IMG|Tobias.Knight: How the hell did that happen?
[05.03.2019 19:40:32] Order|Solandros: Xan: Now then, someone mind telling me what that was about?
[05.03.2019 19:40:33] Markus.Vancierre: I believe Sirius has spoken with Bretonia's aggression.
[05.03.2019 19:40:39] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: Aland will never bow to house oppression!
[05.03.2019 19:41:00] Artigas[TBH]: Well, that was interesting
[05.03.2019 19:41:11] Cesar'Gutierrez[TBH]: This is indeed an interesting turn of events
[05.03.2019 19:41:16] CNS-Valencia: Order? Here? Or am I drunk?
[05.03.2019 19:41:28] DonTorcuato: OH MY...
[05.03.2019 19:41:30] [ALG]-Erdbeben: Richter: Well, the Erdbeben needs repairs. Better get those started before more hostiles arrive.
[05.03.2019 19:41:33] Order|Solandros: Xan: You are not. We have a keen interest in Bretonia's actions as of late.
[05.03.2019 19:41:40] Order|Solandros: Xan: Specifically in the foiling them department.
[05.03.2019 19:41:57] Artigas[TBH]: So
[05.03.2019 19:42:00] Order|Solandros: Xan: IMG, mind telling me how this fight started?
[05.03.2019 19:42:12] Artigas[TBH]: What to do what to do
[05.03.2019 19:42:22] IMG|Vampire: We initiated once their warships came down the lane.
[05.03.2019 19:42:25] Artigas[TBH]: I mean... even if the brets shoot them, they are still our enemies right?
[05.03.2019 19:42:29] Dexter.Hovis: There I planned to send the Bretonians my regards.. and none are here. Pah.
[05.03.2019 19:42:48] Order|Solandros: Xan: You barely missed out on them, it was quite a display of fireworks.
[05.03.2019 19:43:02] Order|Solandros: Xan: And I see, Bretonia brought in its capital ships.
[05.03.2019 19:43:09] Cesar'Gutierrez[TBH]: So, Bretonians have finally showed their true colors after becoming desperate
[05.03.2019 19:43:12] Order|Solandros: Xan: An odd location, are they fleeing already?
[05.03.2019 19:43:47] IMG|Vampire: I think it's settled then.
[05.03.2019 19:43:56] IMG|Vampire: We have no intentions of shooting the corsairs at the moment.
[05.03.2019 19:43:58] Dexter.Hovis: An Order Pilot? Has been years. Even longer that I last had a good race against one.
[05.03.2019 19:44:21] Order|Solandros: Xan: Heh, your reputation preceeds you, though this is hardly the time for racing.
[05.03.2019 19:44:27] CNS-Valencia: Angelica: I am eager to burn down everything in here, though.
[05.03.2019 19:44:36] CNS-Valencia: But oh well.... *opens a bottle*
[05.03.2019 19:44:53] Dexter.Hovis: Now even the Miners are gone, ah come on.
[05.03.2019 19:44:58] Order|Solandros: Xan: IMG vessels, rest assured we will be keeping an eye on Bretonian activity in the sector
[05.03.2019 19:46:00] Order|Solandros: Xan: That said, time to head back out. As for a race, I might have to take you up on that some time when I have leave
[05.03.2019 19:46:15] Order|Solandros: Xan: See how you hold up against less common vessels *laughs*
[05.03.2019 19:46:34] CNS-Valencia: Angelica: Looong ago, on the island of Crete there was a man..... *drinks more rum*
[05.03.2019 19:46:52] CNS-Valencia: Angelica: Who's muscles were strong as a mountain!
[05.03.2019 19:47:40] Artigas[TBH]: Can we claim Aland now?
[05.03.2019 19:47:49] Saguaro[TBH]: Yeah! It should be ours!
[05.03.2019 19:47:51] CNS-Valencia: Angelica: I already have!
[05.03.2019 19:48:09] Order|Solandros: Bretonia sure seems to think it works that way
[05.03.2019 19:48:11] Saguaro[TBH]: Those damned Bretonians know their place now, we rule the Omegas!
[05.03.2019 19:48:31] Cesar'Gutierrez[TBH]: Hermanos, I can see some IMG hombres in the shipyard protesting against it
[05.03.2019 19:48:40] CNS-Valencia: Angelica: Forced rulership is like... most efficent.
[05.03.2019 19:48:51] CNS-Valencia: Unless its not.
During my return:
[05.03.2019 19:49:21] Order|Solandros: Xan: By the way, I sent a transmission to the brotherhood some time ago. I haven't had a response yet, but it's good to see the

[05.03.2019 19:50:11] Order|Solandros: Xan: Well well well
[05.03.2019 19:50:12] Saguaro[TBH]: Ill poke the eldership.

[05.03.2019 19:50:35] Order|Solandros: All vessels be advised
