Crayter Military Reporting Facility

Firstly I would once more like to thank the fleet staff for entrusting me with the Magnesia. I am hoping, that her first cruise under my command you will find satisfactory.

We departed Sabah and set course for the upper Taus, under orders to engage primarily enemy merchant marine and other craft at discretion. The transit through Baffin and tau-29 proved uneventful and we were not sighted. Once in tau-23, we proceeded to the old BMM-exploited berylium fields past the much-neglected minefield. Once there, sensors detected a GMS-flagged cargo ship named Veszprem. As per procedure, I demanded that its commanding officer surrender the cargo comprising in excess of 3 thousand cubic meters of raw berylium ore and evacuate the area. The response was unusual, but nonetheless, a clrear refusal. True to my word - gunnery received orders to open fire and soon enough the enemy transport was destroyed. (Enclosing logs)


With the aforementioned cargo floating in space close to installations under Royal control, there was significant risk of its recovery, Therefore I took the liberty of contacting friendly cargo vessels in the region in order to prevent it. The first to respond and arrive was one operated by the GMG. Its captain happily accepted the berylium and voluntarily transfered 5 million credits to the ship's account.


After one additional sweep of the system I laidcouse back to Coronado. The return voyage was also uneventful.
