Bonjour Mesdames et Mesieurs, especially Monsieur Mazuret

I would like to thank you the promotion you granted me, merci beacoup. Et I would like to thank it with no less than a report of one of our victories in the Tau systems, over royalist forces. Thanks to my training with the guncam attached to the hull of my craft as well as with my Basilisk itself, I was able to assist our allies et take visual evidence of the event.

Yesterday a distress call was sent by the Colonial Republic, our allies. Heavy royalist vessels were approaching them, et even entered Tau-44. I have not much information about what they were doing there as when I arrived, they were already leaving back to Tau-23. This attack fleet of the Crown Commando consisted some snub-crafts, a Perilous-class Royal Gunboat and four Valor-class Royal Battleships. [1]

When I got back to Tau-23, I found the Colonials already setting up a strike team against them, which I could join along with Monsieur Simard who was also there. Our movements were organised, our actions were precise, our targets were clear.

First we targeted the Battleship named Le_Pouvoir. [2] Piercing it's hull was difficult at first, [3] [4] but we brought it down. [5] Our second target was CCCP-REM. [6] [7] Getting close to them et taking pictures at the same time became more difficult when a Lynx-class fighter got on my back. However this did not help to avoid the second battleship's fate of being blown up. [8] Looking at this picture I feel I could be a good photographer in civil life. Back on topic, the two last royal vessels had to face their inevitable end too, Le_Appel being turned into scrap as the third, [9] [10] et Le_Salute being left to burn last. [11] [12]

After this I found myself still being chased by the fighter, for not much longer of course. Colonial amis dealt with him fast. A few fighter crafts of the royals were still remaining in the system, but the Colonials thanked our help, et we flew home. The last think I saw on my scanners was five Colonials still chasing a lone royal scum.

All in all, we were able to get great advantage in numbers, agility, et the rocky asteroid field environment was helping us too. Those Capitals did not stand a chance. I still wonder why didn't they took more escort fighters with them.

Pour les Colonials, nos amis! Et pour Le Conseil! Viva la révolution!

LaFlamme out.
