After Action Report
Name: Gerard Boiselle
Rank: Sous-Lieutenant
Operation Type: Standard Patrol
Area of Operations: Dauphine, Burgandy
Time: 2100 – 0110
Other Participants:
Captain Michelle Picard
Commandant Aubert Giroux
2100: After launching from Avallon station at 2100 to begin my patrol shift, I was summoned by Captain Michelle Picard to high orbit over Nevers. There, a pair of Sirian Junkers were attempting to move through the system. The Captain drove both of them off shortly after I arrived. We began to assume normal patrol duties when a Council propaganda artist started to flood the communication channels of Burgundy with their rhetoric.
2145: At this point long range sensors on Nevers picked up the signature of a council pilot moving rapidly towards the Nouvre asteroid field. We moved to follow, but he managed to make it into the safety of the field, and as we were but two lynx, we erred on the side of caution.
2200: After a few minutes of verbal sparring between the captain and the council member, we were joined by Commandant Aubert Giroux. After summing the situation up for the commandant, he ordered us into the field.
2204: After approaching what seemed to be a large hollowed out asteroid, the council member continued to taunt us. Two more pilots launched, and after a brief exchange of insults between the captain, the commandant, and the treasonous dogs, battle was joined.
~2300: After my ship sprung a coolant leak, I decided to offer myself as a sacrifice in order to allow the captain and commandant a better shot at destroying the hostiles by flying in one direction and forcing the opponents (who were targeting me) to fly in a mostly straight line. It seemed to work.
2330: captain and commandant managed to destroy one of the pilots, and then swiftly after, another. The final pilot ran back to the hollow asteroid field, and we were ordered out of the field.
2350: Her Royal Highness Alice DeFrance joined the squadron communication channel to congratulate us on a job well done.
~0000: The captain and commandant were finishing their patrol, and while doing so I stopped over on Nevers in order to patch my coolant leak (See attached inventory stub and mechanics report) and to visit the military clinic to make sure the coolant had caused no permanent damage (see attached medical report).
0020: After being cleared, I launched and resumed patrol.
0025: Her Royal Highness Alice DeFrance left the communications channel.
0030: The captain was preparing to dock for the evening when she received a strange report from Dauphine, and I volunteered to investigate the situation. The commandant joined me, and I acted as point as we did a quick scan of the system. Nothing unusual was found, and the commandant docked and signed off for the evening shortly after the sweep.
~0050: I was returning to Avallon when I noticed a strange IFF on my scanners, and found a sirian trade ship named Gilgamesh heading for Alesia Station. My scanners and computer both confirmed my ships load out was incapable of damaging the ship, so instead I did my best to delay him. Luckily, the battleship Nantes was on its way to Nevers on its patrol route, and, working with the captain, we set up an ambush.
0100: The Commandant and Captain both launched in heavier ships, and swore to escort the merchant ship unmolested to the border. I moved to the middle of the trade lane between Nevers and Dijon Station, where the Nantes waited.
0105:As soon as the trader reached that area, I disrupted the tradelane, and the Nantes opened fire, destroying the ship and her crew. No further incidences between then and my dock at Avallon station.
0110: Docked and signed off (see attached flight officers report).
Casulties: None
Destroyed Enemies: 3
2230: Agama, Council Pilot Adalbert D. Azayes , no pod recovered.
2245: Agama, Council pilot Nicole Blanchard, no pod recovered.
0105: Series “DL” Border Worlds Transport, IFF “Interspace”, Identification Code “Gilgamesh”, no pods recovered.

Today i was ordered by princess Alice to join our pilots in the Languedoc system. There Commandant Aubert Giroux was in a battle against a SCRA pilot. La princess told me to stand by and only to jump in when there is no other way. However that moment came when le Commandant suddenly suffered major technical problems and he had to retreat. That was my call and i attacked the communist. Guncam 1
That person was an experienced fighter pilot and it was a rough battle but i was victorious in the end.
Right after the communist got destroyed a Council cruiser showed up with an bomber escort. Guncam 2
They were given the chance to surrender their ships but they refused. As result we attacked them.
It was difficult to do some damage due to heavy council patrols but in the end we were able to destroy the cruiser.
But right after that we had to retreat back to burgundy.

Bonjour,
When I started my patrol, I realized some Sirian filling our communications with rather unfitting comments about the princess. After ordering him to stop, I started the search and the fool even told me where I could find him.
Here is the audio log.
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SHE IS A WHORE AFTER ALL!
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Spread 'er legs for commoners, eh!?
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Bwahahahahahahaaaaaaaa! You royalists really 'at short of cash?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Now shut up... SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Sellin' princess poon tang for groceries!?
Zarozinia: you will pay with you head capitan. SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: I'll pay t'drop my head into that- then again, I bet she's looser Alicia after her time in Sirius!
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Looser than, even.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Pray that I dont find you Sirian... SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Lorraine jump hole.
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Come alone, love, and I'll jump your hole, eh? What y'say.
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: **Stands and unzips his flight suit, yanking open the front.**
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: **His junk hangs beyond the camera's capture field.**
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Real men that, bitch.
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: **Zips up and sits again.**
GRN|Pauline.Valence: That behaviour... you must be a Sirian... SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Want a piece, darlin'?
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Or is a miner too good fer ya'?
After I received the position, I moved there to see if he told the truth, which was indeed the case. But when I arrived there, I realized that this person wasnt a simple Sirian, he was a member of the Coalition, the same Coalition that fought our anchestors. After a few questions I started to do what I had to do.
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: 'Allo love...
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Mh... you are either very stupid... or very brave SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Let's call it the latter.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: I would go for the stupid...
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Now... why are you here? SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Spread the word'a Marx, a'course!
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Wait... Marx?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: So... you are a Sirian... and... a communist? SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Karl Marx? Father a' modern communism?
SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Damn ruddy right I am.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: So the worst combination of scum that is possible...
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You know that we do with your kind here, dont you? SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Die to our guns?
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Something alongside those lines... but it is you who dies... SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: We'll see.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: *laughs* Funny isnt it?
After a short fight, he tried to flee towards Lorraine, where I finally terminated him.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: And no... you will not run away... SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Just evening the odds.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: *giggles* You would need some more of your kind then...
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Dont you realize that you are fighting an already lost fight? SCRA|Simon.O'Hare: Never stopped my lot before.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: I guess you will die here then... Death: SCRA|Simon.O'Hare was put out of action by GRN|Pauline.Valence (Gun).
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Phew... scum...
I never saw such a vessel before, but it did not stand a chance against our technology.

Bonjour everyone.
Today, I launched off the Avallon station right after I joined the navy. After only a couple of minutes, I got an enemy on my scope.
The enemy happened to be a council battleship, very similar to our Valor. Its captain hailed me but I didn't respond. I instantly warned our navy forces at Dijon station that there is a council battleship in Burgundy, right next to planet Nevers. It took some minutes until our ships were deployed. The council battleship had made it to the trade lane between Dijon station and planet Nevers when it met our forces, containing two bombers, one fighter and one cruiser.
We opened fire on it and it didn't stand a chance, even though our cruiser took heavy damage.
After some minutes of fighting it blew up with its crew.
We, luckily, didn't suffer any casualties. Only RNS Martyr was damaged.
One less warship! For the King Charles and for Gallia!

Bonjour..
Today. Today was a successful day for us.
I started my patrol from Dijon station and just when I left Dijon, I saw a council fighter.
It was about 7Ks away from Dijon station, behind the Orville moon.
Soon Pauline Valence entered the scene with her fighter. We told the council vessel to leave the area as it was too close to Dijon station. It refused and we opened fire.
Soon, another council vessel arrived to assist its friend.
(Thanks to mademoiselle Valence for sending me the guncam pictures.)
They didn't match our power and they were destroyed.

Subject: Report on Undercover Operation "Red Fish" Part 2
Our mission started out over the Bretonian world of “New London”, there Agent Tarn was confronted by a Bretonian Armed Forces admiral named “Blake Owen” who started to ask questions about the Council’s motives in Bretonian space. After Agent Vienne arrived and took over the conversation along with Agent Garonne, Vienne whom spun a tale of the Council attempting to locate the possible locations to establish supply lines. After another officer under the Bretonian Armed Forces arrived they offered us a tour of some of the Bretonian systems, we accepted this opportunity and gathered much intelligence upon the systems Cambridge and New London, asking the officer. who showed us around questions. about Sirius and some of the various organizations who dwell within such as the Corsairs and the Gas Miners Guild.
The agents after arriving in the Cambridge system were led to the planet Cambridge, not an original name but it is hardly surprising. Samples of the local goods were collected and one of our agents discovered Bio-neural Processors were being sold on the planet below the Research Facility. This suggests that somebody has been smuggling Gallic Goods out of the homeland. While in orbit, we extracted a lot, and really, a lot of information about the conflict with Kusari. The cause of the war was rather vague, but it seemed that Kusari started it, and took Bretonia by surprise. Both Houses were now digging in, with occasional small attacks from both sides. This means the Tau’s aren’t a full blown battlefield, but under the control of Kusari.
After the Bretonian Commodore had to leave for a few minutes to deal with an issue in the system known as “Dublin”, the field-agents headed to the planetoid “Ross” and noticed a Bretonian Battleship by the name of Norfolk. The nearby cloud called Grasmere is made of ice asteroids and contains a Jumphole, agent did not proceed inside but marked it on his charts for future reference. Afterwords the agents headed north towards another planet, a gas world by the name of Sarum which is comprised of a large amount of Ice Crystals and deeper are gasses that have more value, however are unreachable at this point in time by the miners of the orbiting “Cardiff Mining Station” which is controlled by an organization called the Independent Miner’s Guild, which we met before in “Tau-23”. Seems they’re a bigger group then we thought, with bases of operations everywhere .
Commodore Blair, the one who was assigned by Admiral Owen to give us the tour, returned and we proceeded to New London where we went to the planet Dover. In orbit were two stations, Canterbury Station and Kensington Shipping Platform, samples of the goods were acquired and we moved on to Leeds after the Bretonian had to take care of an issue elsewhere. Southhampton Shipyards was our next stop however we did not dock, it is suspected that this is the Bretonian Armed Force’s primary shipyard for warships, further investigation is suggested. We headed to Leeds and did a recon of the area around the planet, it is protected by a lone battleship which was sieged by Kusari Naval Forces at the time we arrived. After this , Tarn docked due to exhaustion while the other two agents continued the mission.
The goal was to interview some of the traders, to gain more knowledge on the practical side of the conflict. It wasn’t very busy though. The only person we could ask questions was a Junker, one that already visited Gallia and was very helpful. He informed us about an alternate route into Gallia, through the so called “Lewis” and “Edinburgh” systems. He transmitted the coordinates, certainly worth investigating.
We proceeded towards Edinburgh, but it was a big system, without any trade lanes. We decided it was better to explore that system with a military guide as escort, so we headed back to Leeds and docked. The local bars were filled with people, a very good source for information. Currently, we’re all on Leeds, gathering intel where we can. All relevant data is attached.

Name: Gerard Boiselle
Rank: Sous-Lieutenant
Operation Type: Sirian Interception
Area of Operations: Dauphine
Other Participants:
GRP Commissaire Amelie Chevalair
GRP Brigadier Marlon Signet
Commandant Laurel Lavelle
05:45 - GRP Commissaire Amelie Chevalair reported a Sirian "freelancer" marked "Major Anomia" near Dijon Station
05:46 - I arrived at the station to find the Sirian holding position outside of Dijon with the two Gallic Royal Police listed above holding the target in place.
05:50 - The RNS Rose d'un Autre Nom arrived from a standard patrol and took up position, with the XO opening a channel with the sirian.
05:52 - The sirian protested for several minutes he was there as an emmisary of some sort. The XO grew frustrated and the Rose opened fire.
05:53 - After dodging and somehow surviving the initial attacks, the Sirian took up position in an area of the station, that, if damaged by his fusion drive overloading, would have caused unacceptable damage to the shipyards.
05:55 - The captain of the RNS Martyr (Commandant Lavelle), released mooring lines and began to negotiate with the Sirian. THe Rose d'un Autre Nom moved towards never to take up position there (as I was informed). The Martyr negotiated with the sirian to escort them to the champagne gate and send them through, promising swift retribution if they scanned anything on the way out or returned ever again.
06:15 - The sirian ship went through the champagne gate and the battleship reported it had gone on through the tradelanes into council space.
