Good Evening.

I am here to report my first action as ensign. Shortly after launching from Planet Leeds, I met up with fellow ensign Alex Clarke and the Shetland train Twisted Sisters with Captain Evyn and Lt.Cdr Freya commanding. Quickly making our way to Planet New London, offloading the Niobium the Twisted Sisters was hauling and then on to BPA Newgate in Manchester. However, on our way to Newgate we came across a suspicious fellow named Henry Torch. Who shadowed us all the way to Newgate. Quickly offloading the Light Arms and proceeding back to Leeds via the Jump hole to save time. In Leeds we once again encountered Henry Torch, who was chased by Ensign Clarke alongside myself. Mr Torch made a hasty retreat to Stokes. Nevertheless we continued onto Edinburgh and to Perth where the Twisted Sisters offloaded its cargo hold of terraforming gasses.

However, we received a report from Lt Cdr Sinclair that a Gallic Royal Navy Gunboat with an Interspace Commerce transponder whose callsign was Wop was in Leeds orbit. Both myself and Ensign Clarke made with all haste back to Leeds. After a brief back and forth with the Gunboat, which was clearly refusing Lt Cdr Sinclairs orders to stop even and ignoring his warning shot. We received orders to destroy the gunboat which we done in short order.

Lt Cdr Sinclair kindly pointed out the my Templar was not outfitted properly and I asked Captain Evyn for permission to go to Salisbury and fit it out correctly. Permission granted I quickly left for Salisbury and outfitted my Templar with more powerful shields and weapons and returned to Leeds. Where the Kusari Navy was making a push towards Planet Leeds.

I received orders to engage and quickly set my sights on a Gaian who was helping the KNF. However, it seemed the Commander of a KNF Battleship, the Yukikaze I believe, didn't take too kindly to that and focused his fire on me, to which I eventually succumbed to. A fellow pilot tractored in my escape pod and delivered me to Leeds Military Hospital to where I am recuperating now.

I will learn from this and do my utmost in the future for Queen and Country.

Bretonia Prevails!

Ensign Lucas Alexander.

*Unfortunately due to the destruction of my Templar, most of my guncam images were destroyed. Engineers on Leeds are working now to salvage what they can. If any are retrieved. I will upload them to BAF secured Neural Net.
