At my request, I was given the privilege to write a report concerning the today's events. Specifically, the surgical strike attempt on Bretonia's economy with the support of the capital fleet from the independent fleet as well as a zoner which I believe, was assisting Bretonian logistics
Allow moi to get into details...
As I reached Dublin system, the fleet was already organized and on it's way to raid the system and cleanse in the name of the crown.
There, I formed up with monsieur Pauline Valence et madame Aurelia Landreau.
We decided that the capital fleet has the situation under control so we went to Leeds on a reconnaisance survey.
At first, we met no hostility, but a zoner transport got our eyes.
Scans revealed he was carrying basic alloys, interrogation revealed he was carrying it to New Castle, when asked to drop them, he told that he'll take them to Leeds instead. Mockering attitude and lack of cooperation implied that he was supplying a bretonian installation.
Because of this, at the orders of Monsieur Valence, we opened fire and took down the target, which was identified as [NCC]TC|Cadiz A variety of my equipment got damaged at the situation in Dublin, including my radio and mon gun camera, because of this, I am not able to provide you with any evidence, but, Monsieur Valence is an eye witness of the zoner in question. He may provide additional data, if needed.
In the meantime, our main force made it's way to Leeds, the fight intensified. Bretonia sent reinforcements, mostly composed of Mercenaries. Seems like they cannot maintain the defence of their borders on their own... Our capital fleet was either damaged or forced to retreat.
Moi et Monsieur Valence remained and engaged in skirmishing tactics which were partially succesful, the sirian mercenaries were unorganized and didn't cooperate well with the main enemy force. They even started shooting back at their allies.
In the meantime, a Gallic Royal Police agent arrived to lend us support, his help was greatly appreciated as he allowed us a retreat path.
A notable mercenary group identified as SMP appeared. They were a little more organized than the others, though nothing that could tear me apart, to mon surprise.
The fight turned to our disadvantage, we were forced to retreat to Edinburgh, Monsieur Valence got his ship severely damaged on the way, but moi et the Royal Police agent made it safely and reached Battleship Villeneuve. A liberty carrier commanded by a suicidal captain attempted to follow us. He was no match for the superior firepower of the Villeneuve and thus, he was forced to retreat.
In conclusion, things didn't go exactly as planned, from my point of view at least, but we fought honourably as gauls. Organization, Skill, et Discipline backed us. Moreover, the bretonian side didn't go unscathed as well.
