Subject: A skirmish in Leeds

On yesterday's afternoon I set the Thunderer's course to Leeds, along with the Strasburg, a Council battleship. We found two Valors and one Obstinate. Instead of attacking us, they preferred waiting for our attack at the Oubli, which proved to be their mistake. We were reinforced by an Outcast fighter and a fighter of the Police Authority during the battle, as well as by a Council gunboat. We disabled one Valor and the Obstinate, while the other one managed to escape.

Allied forces involved:

1) BAF|HMS-Thunderer (Dunkirk) -- Damaged;
2) CLN-Strasburg (Redemption) -- Damaged;
3) A Council gunboat -- Disabled;
4) BPA)Mr.Smith (fighter) -- Presumed unharmed;
5) |+|-Isabel:Ramos (fighter) -- Presumed unharmed.

Enemy forces involved:

1) Opuestepica (Valor) -- Disabled;
2) Wheel.of.Fortune (Valor) -- Damaged;
3) Vasart (Obstinate) -- Disabled.

Recordings:

1) The Opuestepica is losing hull integrity
2) The Vasart is squashed between the Strasburg and the Thunderer
3) The Wheel of Fortune desperately holding our fleet off
4) The Wheel of Fortune postpones her fate

Subject: That godforsaken system called Omega-3

I have been trying to bring those rascals and scoundrels the local pirates to reason all day, but alas, a Churchill advances not as rapidly as their fighters rout. They even tried to use Freeport 1 as their shield, knowing I will not risk injuring innocent civilians -- or risking that I risk.
I left them fleeing for their petty lives and returned to the Norfolk. They were handled later by the 13th fleet and a bounty hunter.
But oh, great tidings! A whole fleet of enormous, glowing, blue ships suddenly appeared near Freeport 1! The first thing they did was fire in the no-fire zone. All my efforts not to hit the Freeport now seemed in vain, or would, if I was not there again to defeat the fearsome hordes. I did receive a bit of help from our secondary fleet and the IMG, but I was in charge there!
Some IMG bloke detected a Nomad Lair 20K North of Aland Shipyard after that, so we headed there to destroy it too. In accordance to our expectations, it was defended, and defended formidably.
But not formidably enough, ladies and gentlemen! We handled a a whole garrison, and when another one came, we handled it too! Unfortunately some of all that slime and alien body parts or whatever that was floating in space covered the whole front screen of the Indefatigable, and as I could then see absolutely nothing other than a lot of pink in front of me, I turned the autopilot on and headed to Aland to have it cleaned.
I just want to have some ale after all of this. I am not even sure that it was not a mere dream. A lot of ale.

Allied forces involved:

I don't know, many various ships. It included the BAF|HMS-Indefatigable, a Churchill, under my command. I can't remember any losses, at least not important ones.

Enemy forces involved:

When I revised the count and revised it again, it turned out that more of them were destroyed than were present, so I will stick to my memory: many.

Subject: Nomad invasion of Omega-3

A grave situation affected Omega-3 yesterday. The pirates and Corsairs seemed as nothing compared to that. We were even forced to rally them on our side which they, apparently having some reason, accepted.
Bretonians, Humans, there are some things far more threatening to destroy us all than our own quarrels. Some of you might remember 801 AS. It was when another intelligent species showed us how determined they were to take what is ours.
Their determination stayed as strong as it was, but their military might seems to have renewed. The Slomon K'Hara, widely known as the Nomads, had built a lair, an almost moon-sized, discoid object, about 20K North of Aland Shipyard in Omega-3 system. Practically in our backyard, and we did not even notice. Until yesterday, at least. Perhaps it was there all along, but ran out of cloaking device fuel yesterday. I do not know, it is one of the subjects that our scientist will be discussing about these days.
When I received reports of Freeport 1 being under attack, I headed the Thunderer there as quickly as the trade lanes could carry her, arriving to find out that the attack was, to my joy, not only repelled but vanquished. Our forces were even bringing the battle to the enemy. We joined them right away and fired our Heavy Mortar at the lair as soon as we were in range. It appeared to be as tough as it looked though, and it even received a new garrison, which surprised us. They seemed to have advanced cloaking technology. Nevertheless, their defenses were quenched by human concord, allowing us to put full pressure on the lair. Its walls were thick, but not indestructible. The explosion lit the whole area and scattered parts of odd material around. I hope the spot will not become a center of an illegal artifact mining operation.
The Thunderer, unbelievably not even scratched, returned to Aland with the rest of the fleet. The checks concluded that the ship's crew did not have any systems of Nomad incubation. We had picked some alien organisms, but those were tightly stored in our cargo hold. We gave a small portion of them to two Order gunboats which arrived later, and brought the rest to the Cambridge Research Station.
I feel right that I have allowed the IMG to keep the Rockabill and two cruisers in Omega-3. I think that this event might replace all the small talk on tea parties for a few days.

Allied forces involved:

1) BAF|HMS-Thunderer (Dunkirk) -- Unharmed;
2) BAF|A-HMS-Enterprise (Dunkirk) -- Unharmed;

Subject: Corsairs in Cambridge

Right after the Nomad situation in Omega-3 was taken care of, the same Corsairs who fought along with us started pirating again, in Cambridge. A BPA officer located a Praefect which the Thunderer quickly destroyed, but then we spotted more of their ships on our radar. We got more ships to reinforce us too, and we handled all Corsairs but one snub, which managed to escape.

Allied forces involved:

1) BAF|HMS-Thunderer (Dunkirk) -- Damaged;
2) Bowex)Teutonic (Challenger) -- Damaged;
