BMM-BMF
Bretonia Mining and Fabrication The Knights Squadron
The Knights Squadron, is an elite unit of Bretonia Mining and Fabrication’s Fortisec defense wing, forged from emerged heroes of the Gallic War,
Despite their valiant efforts, the war left them battered and their homeland in ruins.
Honored by the BMF Board for their resilience, the squadron now operates in the Taus region, patrolling the perilous route between Planet Harris in Tau-31 the hazardous fields of Tau-23 and New Camelot.
They now face constant threats from Outcast pirates, Gaian eco-terrorists, Gallics, and the IMG, who enforces its claims with ruthless efficiency.
Clad in advanced armor blending heritage with state of the art technoligy they stand as Bretonian Warriors.
This, is their activity report, this, is their story.
Background:
From Douglas Station, Galath Ridire’s stealth missions during the Gallic War tried to delay Gallic advances in Tau-31, sabotaging and hit and run maneuvers before Leeds’ destruction. His blue-eyed intensity and divine glow marked him as a chosen warrior, earning the atention from the BMF Board. In 832 A.S., Galath commands patrols between Planet Harris and Tau-23, battling Outcast raiders, Gaian saboteurs, and the opportunistic IMG, who vie for control of the region’s resources amid its ice fields and radiation hazards.
Personality: A grizzled veteran, Galath bloodlust is now a quiet resolve, driven by the memory of Leeds.
Background:
Dickerson was a Lt.Cmdr. and 3IC onboard an Armed Forces destroyer lost prior to the Gallic war in Omega 3 in a failed attempt to assassinate an influential senior officer of the Zoner Defence Force.
He spent most of the Gallic war in a coma and sat out the rest of it convalescing in a hospital on planet Cambridge.
In the closing months of the war Lieutenant Commander Dickenson was medically discharged from the Bretonian Armed Forces.
Having amassed considerable back pay and a pension, he purchased a small freighter and began ferrying refugees, coming to the attention of BMF recruiters who convinced him to sign up.Quickly advancing thru the ranks, today he serves as the executive officer of BMFs detachment in the Taus.
Personality: Eccentric yet haunted, Biff humor hides a deep-seated fury.
Background: Born on the now-lost Planet Leeds, Arthur led the Knights Squadron through the devastating Gallic War, where Bretonia nearly fell, and Leeds was obliterated by the Gallic Royal Navy. His heroic stand at Stokes Mining Station, using minefields to trap Gallic forces near the Tau-31 Jump Gate, saved countless lives from a similar fate. Scarred and weary, his divine aura—attributed to ancient Bretonian blessings—earned him the BMF Board’s favour. In 832 A.S., Arthur flies reconnaissance between Planet Harris and Tau-23, evading Outcast ambushes, Gaian traps, and IMG patrols that encroach on BMF territory, mapping the ice fields’ dangers with unmatched skill.
Personality: Methodical and reserved, Galath’s bloodlust emerges in the heat of combat.
Background:
A Leeds native, Victor became a Fortisec icon during the Gallic War, ramming a gunboat to save Fortitudine Mining ship, losing an eye to shrapnel—replaced by a glowing cybernetic implant. The war’s end left him scarred by Leeds’ ruin. The BMF Board awarded him the a post of his choosing, Victor leads assault missions between Planet Harris and Tau-23, his heavy Gunboat a bulwark against Outcasts, Gaians, and the IMG, whose aggressive resource grabs threaten BMF operations in the radiation-heavy fields.
Personality: Rough and protective, Victor ’s bloodlust is a roar of vengeance for Leeds.
Background:
Raised on Cambridge, Percival’s agility disrupted Gallic scouts near Isle of Skye during the Gallic War, he also disabled a battleship’s engines to delay the fall of Leeds. The war’s toll left him hardened, his training ground reduced to ash. The BMF Board honored him with the Swift Wing Medal. Percival flies runs between Planet Harris and Tau-23, outpacing Outcasts, Gaians, and IMG enforcers, navigating the region’s radiation and ice pockets with reckless speed.
Personality: Bold and restless, Percival’s bloodlust fuels his pursuit of redemption.
Good morning and apologies for the late response of the report Dylan, but I've been on post battle inspections of New Camelot and some of it's ships all night.
As you are aware, last night we had an alien vessel attack shipping in the vicinity of the station and beyond.
By the time my gunboat arrived, the initial attack was over, but after a time of standing guard the vessel decloaked and attacked.
The good news is neither the station nor my vessel were damaged, albeit I did nearly lose shields.
On the plus side, the hostile also lost shields and fled thanks to our defensive emplacements and the arrival of an Order capitol vessel and it's fighter compliment.
Scanner logs were corrupted, however one partial scan of the hostile did survive.

Men,
By order of BMF Command all Knights are to tax those operating within our space under Royal Charter #828 P1-7 that you find within your scanner range. You do not need to rob them blind but for far to long has our rightful ownership of this system been ignored. No more. A Fee of 50,000 Credits for operations or passage through the Tau's shall suffice. Anyone that gives you grief on this rather reasonable fee you may go ahead and add additional fees for delaying your patrols or operations.
Feel free to slay and scatter or dispose of your enemies as you see fit. I really don't see any need to give them any quarter, they all used their chances up, I have no interest in anyone's survival. You will throw your ships and bodies at all that oppose us for as long as it takes. Do you get me?

Men,
DATE : 12.03.835AS
TAXED VESSEL : Buy_N_Large
AMOUNT : 50K
On the 12.03.835AS while on a standard patrol of the Tau-23 System I encounter a trading vessel its name was "Buy_N_Large" It appeared to be unmanned but had some kind of AI control system with a forwarding of messages capabilities to its owners. The machine was extremely eccentric in nature I had decided to destroy it when its owners approved the vessel to forward the passage fee.
The only other thing maybe worth of note was that they appear to market some kind of chair capable of supporting the weight of our armor, unbeknownst to them and this gave me pause. Thankfully there is enough fat gits out there that they run a production line on such a chair. I will have my ship engineer look into purchasing this chair for a test run, it may become standard across the squadrons ships for Knight Commanders.

Knights,
As a few of you maybe aware by now there was a encounter with some kind of alien vessel last night, Starting in Tau-23 and leading up to the Leeds Bretonia boarder in Tau-31 where reports suggest one of our ships sustained heavy critical damage. I need all of you to check in right away.
The only thing we have to be grateful about with the encounter is Lancelot (Biff) was able to retrieve at least partly some scanner intel. From what we can see of that... whatever it is, its Large. Its my understanding from arriving on the scene after Lancelot's initial arrival that Debris and wreckage was scattered across Tau-23 and there was quite a blood bath gouged by this, creature?
Reports Regarding Order Activity
Quote:Order capitol vessel and it's fighter compliment
I don't know what the Order would be doing in Tau-23 or the Tau's at large, the last rumour I heard they were somewhere deep in the omicrons. However unconfirmed rumours for months now of have reported seeing Order ships across Bretonia perhaps this is some kind of nearby Cell?
Either way it doesn't matter they are not our friends and we have no reason to trust them, Although I am glad they seemed to have aided in scaring off the Nomad, If you see them again do NOT let them near our facility and tell them to keep on walking. I am however glad to hear that our defences punched the alien on the nose of whatever the hell its face looks like.
The the firepower from what I can see in this scan of the creature is deeply concerning, its weapons suggest the creature is as large as a cruiser.
Be on High Alert Knights and rally all forces to the base.
