Comm ID: Destroyer Shikikan
Subject: Tau 31 Recon Patrol
Hai,
This day the Shikikan entered Tau 31 for Reconnaisance of enemy strength near Station Holman and Planet Harris.
The crew of Shikikan paid respects to our fallen Brothers in the devious minefields near Harris. They also worked valiantly to recover any remains, and weapons from the Imperial Fighters. They prevailed.
We were engaged by Planetform fighter wings, as well as Bretonian Templars who apparently do not know the destructive power of their own mines.
During close observation of Planet Harris, the following Destroyers and their escorts were engaged and destroyed: HMS Ingleborough, Gibraltar, Lochay, and Carmel.
Captain of Shikikan did learn this day that Bretonian Templars in sufficient number can threaten even Destroyer shields. They fly poorly, but have lethal sting.
Documentation of engagements and prisoners recovered attached:
Hai,
Shiki-san
