Subject: Leeds patrol and repair expenses report.

Greetings Sir/Madam,
Due to ongoing conflict regarding NFZ with zoners in Omega 3 system, it has been decided that Kite will not be patrolling the Freeport route for the next 48 hours and instead has been positioned near the Leeds jump hole in New London system.After scanning some Junker ships incoming from Leeds system, it was decided that the vessel was to be taken for a quick patrol to Rayburn station in Leeds. After docking with Rayburn, the ship was refueled with mox and other necessary commodities. While the Kite was docked at the station, the long range scanners of Rayburn picked up some frequencies which are known to be used by Gallic transponders.Sensing there was a threat not far away, we decided to make a patrol deep inside enemy territory. The crew prepared the ship well keeping in mind there could be a fight ahead and everyone was mentally prepared to face any kind of situation. Without wasting another moment we left Rayburn and cruised deep into the Leeds system.

As we moved out of the West Leeds smog cloud, the view became much clear and we kept proceeding towards the planet. Especially with Battleship Oubli on guard, it was impossible to move further towards the planet. In the same time the Rayburn was with constantly in touch with us, help us track the source of the unknown frequency. It was supposed to be coming from somewhere between planet Leeds and Stokes mining station. The time had come to make the ship invisible. the cloak generator were engaged and the ship started slowly melting with the background. While cloaked, we moved closer to Oubli and took a close inspection at the Leeds satellite. After this we took the tradelane to Stokes mining station, and that was the time when we came in contact with a Valor class battleship( call-sign RNS-Freedom). We broke away from the lane and slowly advanced towards the Valor with impulse speed. The ship was running low on cloak fuel so I decided to deactivate cloak while still 8K away from the Valor. I warned the Captain of the RNS-Freedom that he was the war enemy of Bretonia and has been acting as a constant threat to Rayburn and that he still has time to surrender and save the lives of his crew. Not surprisingly he refused to do so, but I must admit that captain Henry of RNS-Freedom was young, brave and intelligent and one of those few who was prepared to face the death for his motherland. It didn't take too long for our gunners to engage each other and the consequences were fatal for RNS-Freedom. Our effective warheads breached its hull in no time. Our crew congratulated each other on the Victory. We took in several life pods and started moving back to Rayburn for repairs.

While on our way back to New London system our scanners picked up another hostile bomber ( call-sign Punisher|SL.Touraine.). The bomber piloted by Guillaume was loud, harsh and called Bretonia as a nation of cowards. Him coming to know that Kite was a 'Dunkirk' class battleship, immediately docked with Battleship Oubli and then sent another Valor class battleship( call-sign Punisher|SL.Poseidon). It was time for a second fight, and the ship was already damaged from the cannons of RNS-Freedom. The Valor opened fire on us after issuing a brief warning. Our gunners were ready for counter attack and so another fight took place. I ordered to steer our ship into the smog clouds which drastically reduced the visibility for the Valor. Not only Kite was small and agile , but also hard to be seen within the clouds. Our ship successfully dodged most of the heavy cerbs and at the same time was able to inflict maximum damage to the enemy battleship. Punisher|SL.Poseidon was turned into ashes in a matter of minutes.

We were heavily damaged, lost one thruster, two heavy guns and above all lost two brave gunmen. We pray for their souls to rest in peace. Some of our crew that suffered minor injuries are being treated at Southampton medical bays. It was a memorable day for the entire crew of Kite. The repair work is being carried out at Southampton Shipyard and the total expenses are estimated to be around 12.5 million Sirian Credits. Furthermore, all the expenses are being met from the ship's account, but unfortunately we are falling short by an amount of 1.83 million credits. In the recent days the government has been very supportive in terms of funding and we hope it continues this way. We are requesting the Admiralty Board for 1.85 million credits to be transferred to the ship account for the successful completion of the pending repair work so that services can be resumed ASAP and Kite can continue to serve the crown. Thank you for your time.

Here are the camera stills I am attaching below which further justify the above described incident.
