Bonjour,
Nothing unusual happened during the patrol of our wing in Leeds system. Once our pilots land on Leeds and took off the helmets we have received an order to strike at Southampton Shipyard which is in New London system as soon as possible. The first wave of our forces faced significantly superior forces of the enemy. Joined Bretonian, Colonial Remnant and "The Council" tactical group have made an attempt to repel the advance of His Majesty's Navy. Outnumbered, but brave and skilled our officers hold the ground until the second wave have arrived. As soon as numbers equaled the tide of battle immediately moved towards decisive victory of His Majesty's Navy.
La Princesse Charlotte DeFrance made a visit of this part of the front and condescended to oversee the battle in person. It seems that Her Highness was satisfied with the combat skills of our officers.
