Dear Sirs:

Coming in with a load of diamonds from Rheinland last evening, my DTO aboard the Caernarvon, an Eagle escort, and I aboard the Trafalgar, came into contact with an LWB pirate gunboat, the "Troll" above Planet Leeds.

I told him we wanted no trouble, but upon scanning, found he was holding 11 BAF pilots, 13 BPA pilots, and 36 civilians. Having only one escort (and he without torpedoes), I commenced negotiations immediately for their release. The pirate agreed to a ransom, released those pilots, and I took them down to the planet immediately for medical attention. I informed the pirate that if we were to see him again (and especially with more and better equipped escorts), there would be no negotiations. He stated he was just "passing through."

During this incident, two UoG pilots came into the system and checked on us to make sure we were okay. They have become faithful partners in a very short time.

I send this just to keep you informed of activity in Bretonia.

We are, as ever, at your service.

Sincerely,

Sir Alisdair Buchanan
CEO and Chair
Highland-Gateway, Ltd.
