Admirals,

This is an urgent report regarding some trouble earlier.

Two battleship-class vessels were sighted and documented by myself in Bretonian space today, and neither was responsive or willing to follow the due process of the law.

The first and probably more flagrant and pressing violation was by a Rheinland Battleship which appeared before a mixed group of BAF, BPA, and Liberty forces in Leeds. As the senior officer present from our branch, I feel the need to notify you of this in case diplomatic action is required.

The vessel, RNC-Sitzen, flew near us in Leeds from the direction of Gallic space. The vessel did not respond to initial hails, but I was able to disrupt its cruise and force it to stop. Upon that time the BPA's Sergeant DaPilla notified the vessel of its illegal presence and demanded a fine of 2 million credits. He subsequently added a second 2 million credit fine when the vessel attempted to flee.

Instead, the vessel charged a jump drive and jumped out of the system, despite our best efforts to stop it. The jump drive's use and presence indicates to me that it was not simply "passing through", but instead was present under some kind of ulterior motive. I strongly suggest this vessel's presence be looked into as well as its reasons for coming from Gallic territory.

In addition, a Liberty dreadnought (ID: Minigun) was seen operating in Newcastle today by myself and Ensign Walton. Credit to Mr. Walton for being the first to find and identify the vessel.

The vessel, working in conjunction with a Samura-IFF Conference Gunboat (ID: Lisac), seemed to be operating against the Mollys, but did not respond to our hails and repeated efforts to gain its attention. With no means to do any serious damage to the ship, and with pressing matters elsewhere, we departed.

Hopefully appropriate action will be taken against these pilots and, if necessary, their respective governments.

Jaeger out.
