Hector and I were alerted to a large fight in Magellan, and were joined shortly later by Maverick and WO Nicosis. The battle initially took place near the Liberty Navy's Freeport, but became quite spread out as their forces staggered back to Leeds. One of their Valors attempted to flee in a random direction, but my Eros was able to catch up. Once friendly capital support caught back up, we made short work of the RNS-Acheron. Overall, I'd classify this engagement as a victory for the Allied Forces.
Having recovered Hector's pod, the three of us returned to Curacao via the California star system. There we met up with Blitz, who was keeping an eye on the trade lane traffic and the Coronado jump point. Not long after we encountered a trio of intelligence agents. The first was a Rheinlander with odd power readings who chose to commit suicide rather than deal with us.
The other two were Bretonian and Libertonian, both much more cooperative. The Bretonian liner was escorted by Blitz and WO Nicosis to Baffin while the LSF Agent wished to have a meeting with some "sources" on Barrier Gate. Maverick and I took him there, but his stay wasn't long. He came out, requesting to be escorted to the location of the infamous ancient jump gate. There he somehow managed to activate it, and jumped through! Doubt we'll be seeing him again ...
Finally, Nestor[K248] is back up and running. They haven't quite found the source of the engine troubles - but the replacement set works like a charm. I'm looking to take it for a cruise up to the Taus tomorrow.
"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."

Cuple of days ago..During my flight 3 Outcast vessel showed up(2bombers and 1 Gunboat).I was joined by Santinel and fellow comrade Alpharius.As the talk escalated really easy , they engaged usm and well after a short but hard time one of their bombers was distroyed by the skillful Santinel...After the first was down...the others decied to leave and get lost.
Now yesterday..I was on board of CFV-Lunaris with CPT.Amelie de Nuit and nice and skilled Capitain from Gallia. While we were wating near Birmingham Station ....A wierd Ai Vessel showed up and as Amelia asked to cut his engins ...The cruiser did not responded as a normal Ai unit, more like a human...And shortly after with not attantion shoot a mortar into Lunaris side...Capitain Amelie de Nuit decied to open fire as a protective manner, against the Vessel which was getting closer to us, and at it last moment it sht another mortar and died after a salve of Cerberus and Colonial Cruiser Turrets.
And yet another thing did hit us...While on Leeds patroling with Senior Officer Sophius and Warrant Officer Thymes we have recived a static message from a Leeds Revolutions with a freighter who was carreying good and supplies the Bretonias resistance..After we linked the Captain to our channel we have escorted into and out of Leeds to protecte casualties and other humans and goods.
Blake out.
--Here are Cam recored from my ship and Lunaris's ones.-
One enemy vessel spotted in T-23, engaged and destroyed bare seconds before it could escape. Its spokesperson felt confident in the Guillestre's ability to defend it. A combination of lacking upgraded hull plating and unfamiliarity with a battleship's docking points led to its destruction before the Raphia sustained any damage.
Yesterday, I was on Planet Curacao preparing to relocate to Bretonia, when the call came in that an Outcast Cruiser called Kevlar had been sighted in the Coronado system. Responding, I joined Major Spades of the Golden Blades Squadron and Captain Steiner of the 15th Pursuit Squadron in the hunt.
We did not locate the Kevlar, but we did encounter a Freelancer, callsign mr.Robber. This Freelancer proceeded to attack Major Spades, and so Captain Steiner and I joined the fray.
The Freelancer was something of an Ace, and soon more reinforcements arrived, including Colonel Cherry and Lieutenant Facetious of the BGS, and our own Cruiser, the Achilles.
After a prolonged fight, Major Spades finally managed to down the Freelancer, ending the engagement.
In the past few days , onboard of Colonial Cruiser Lunaris, while on my training period,Cpt.Amelie.de.Nuit has been engaged in some encounters with Lunaris..All started when on a daily patrol around Bretonian , in Manchester a AI cruise was passing and suddendly attacked Lunaris..Short after the cruise was gone and the threat obliterared.But the luck was not on our side...Later that day still in Manchester two rheinland Independent Republicans in Rheinland Trains were passing. Lunaris asked them to stop for a rudimentary cargo scan to prevent any kind of contraband. The surpirse was to find out they were carring Black Market Muntions and as they affirmed they were suppling some pirats..Amelie requested them to rop their cargo, but they decied to try to run, their mistake as Lunaris gunners pulverized the trains in a second.
Today we have meet with the Captain of Magnesia, who was in an encouter with a outcast Cruiser.Lunaris took the cruiser down and helped Magnesia. After that we have decied to went to Leeds and see if any Gallic threat is there.As expected two bombers from a squadron entitled Punshiers engaged us but we managed to retreat and reassing for battle in Magellan .After Lunaris took one of their bombers out , that had made the worst mistake to put himself behind Lunaris, the second one escaped and we could not see he anymore.After us decied to go to Freeport 4 and refill and take a brake and let our Cruiser to be check for any damage that can prevent us from flying.After ome hourse spend there we have decied to get back home , through Leeds.As we were flying past Planet Leeds a Gallic Cruise showed up.After a tenacious fight we have managed to take him out, and leave as soon as possible to avide any other gallic Capital Vessel.
Now we are home and safe .

Fun day, especially since Leeds has been once again raided by our forces. I was coming from Magellan as I received a call from an independent BAF Officer. It seemed as he was under fire by an enemy VHF and a Valor. I quickly responded as well as sent word for Colonel de Nuit who was nearby on-board the Lunaris. We quickly engaged the enemy in hopes of assisting the Bretonian and they fell to bits. Interesting how some Libertonians came just a minute too late to enjoy the fireworks.

I'll be brief as always - I was sweeping T-39 as i encountered a lone Valor which jumped from '44. I managed to keep it in place until the Raphia and W.O. Smilovich came to my location and we swiftly disposed of the Gaul.
Today it was a busy day.. From the smaller and angry Kusarian mini corporation that have been asked to drop their cargo and leave . But they didin't listen and as well tryed to run and insult the Colonial republic.
The second event was bigger and contained a lot of the Colonial Naval Fleet , from Bomber to one Gunboat and 2 cruisers.
The fight was made in Tau-23 against a Valor and Cruiser from Gallia , that decied that will be fun to sit above Java station.As we all got a emergency transmisiion we all joined there . The bomber Crew was in anounber of 4 and helped by a Kusari Exile , as well we had Lunaris , Promotheus and Raphia as capital vessel to help us obliterate the enemey. As wella ll know the Gauls are cowards and the Valor managed to flee from the battle with sever damage made to it's hull and guns. The Cruiser was not locuky enought as he got cought right in the middle of the bombers and the Capital vessel. With the help from the others Lunaris managed to take it down. All was a team effort of course.
I was commanding the Thanatos Class Cruiser Prometheus in battle today and responded to the emergency call in Tau 23. We encountered a Kusari small ship, perhaps a gunship, but I was focussing on the GRN Cruiser and Valor.
The GRN Cruiser was taken out in a somewhat dangerous charging maneuver past the covering Valor. The Prometheus was covering and distracting the Valor. After its cover had been blown to pieces, we engaged the Valor together, damaging it badly before it entered the IMG station's safe zone and we ceased our attacks.
The Fleet retreated to Tau 39 to rearm and refuel.

Sirs,
I am Warrant Officer Gareth Williams. I apologise for my nine month absence, I took a pretty bad hit in a dog fight with some of the Gallic Naval boys. I have only just been cleared to full fitness by medical officers in a New Hope East facility.
I am willing to return to active duty, if you will have me.
At 22:03GMT, Listening posts in T-23 detected a possible royal contatc estimated by virtue of its characteristics as a Royal mining vessel. The Raphia immediately deployed to investigate, with a bomber piloted by WO Smilovich supporting. We moved first towards Indochine, after which, we made a turn towards the berylium field, hoping to find a mining ship far from safe harbor. We encountered the enemy mining ship in the nick of time, as it was making best speed for Indochine, full of recently-mined ore. We intercepted and stopped it about halfway to its destination, which was fortunately far enough to make his survival unlikely. A standard demand has been transmitted, the enemy crew complied and upon relinquishing its haul, moved away without incident. Taking a minor risk, since retaliation from T23's garrison is awlays to be expected - the local utility ship flotilla dispathed one celestra to seize and liquify the captured cargo, unfortunately it only had the capacity to pick up little over half of it, the remainder had to be destroyed to prevent recapture. As per Smilovich's satement and that of the merchant captain, the ore ended up delivered to planet Pittsburgh and sold after an uneventful journey.
