Bonjour, Marechals of the Royal Navy.
I outfitted 1 XJ-3 "Lynx" fightercraft and deployed it to the RNS Guillestre, stationed in Tau-23. I then completed an hour of patrols around the Tau-23 sector, but no hostile craft were spotted - surprisingly. I was then alerted to a Colonial fleet in orbit around Leeds, so I headed there at best speed.
When I entered Tau-31, I noticed a peculiarity. A secondary fleet Colonial cruiser undocked from the IMG outpost at the hub of Tau-31, before quickly spotting me and re-docking on Holman outpost. A peculiarity, at least. When entering Leeds, I quickly spotted a Zephyr-class carrier and a Nyx-class fighter on the far side of Planet Leeds. The Zephyr was able to escape but I got into a duel with the poor Nyx - funnily enough, the Captain of the RNS Tonnant, a secondary fleet Valor, managed to completely destroy the Nyx utilizing the forward plasma launcher of the Valor. A commendable job, at least.
This concludes my report. Aspirant Jean-Paul Bourdeau Marine Royale Gauloise
