Comrades.
Following successful space trials, I am now able to confirm the successful commission of the CPW-Mogadishu. The latest gunboat to our armory will hopefully serve the Coalition well. The gunboat did not have to wait long to savour it's first kill.
A pathetic intruding Bounty Hunter Gunboat encroached on restricted space around Zhukovsky Station. As the Mogadishu was moored to the station, we reacted fastest to the alert and pounced upon the enemy target. It's attempts at fleeing were quickly stunted and, like a panther, the Mogadishu ravaged its prey. Senior-Lt Leto Atreides as well as the Zhukovsky defense wing assisted.
With negligible shield damage sustained, and no hull damage to the Mogadishu or to Snr-Lt Atreides, we proceeded to Omega-5 and then onward to Omega-3. We met up with a Hessian cruiser who was preventing trade ships from entering Rheinland. With actions like these plus the Hessians recent gains in Rheinland, the house will surely fall over time.
However, recent developments over Sprague have me concerned. A large base has been constructed in orbit, built into the planet's docking ring. Designated as Port Talbot, the base has significant defenses. I suggest that we consider altering our flight plans for the moment while a course of action regarding this development can be agreed.
