Honourable Admirals,

The subject of this report is a skirmish with the Mollys that took place in Dublin the day before, aswell as some potentally important sightings of foreign vessels

The first contact we had with them was one of them appearing on our screens near Southampton Shipyard. We ( BPA)Yctor and me ) percecuted them to the Dublin jumphole. Whilst we did that we lost formation and had to regroup in Dublin. When we sucessfully regrouped we moved to Graves for we expected them to make trouble there. Soon enought we got reading of them again, but since we were outnumbered we waited for reinforcements while holding them on.
(first two Mollys: [M]-Blodwyn,O`Driscoll; [M]-John.Lass; the one joning in Dublin: [M]-Greyhound )
While we were there another vessel was close to us, an Sabre VHF wich seemed to be of Kusari origin (Otousan|Aoi) It stood by and seemed rather disappointed when he thought it would not come to a fight.
Shortly after we got reinforcements in form of Lt.Lowden.Graves and Lt.Jade.Roberts, we engaged for the fight. The Mollys got backup by a Hessian fighter ( callsign jujM ) so the fight was a rather balanced one. While we fought, another vessel joined the Sabre ( Vautour|Aoi ). They seemed pleased by the violence. Also a Nomad appeared, which I didnt see engaging myself due to my ships destruction later on.
The fight began to move away from Graves as more combattants poured in (listed below), moving to the Golden Coin, a Molly base which took us under heavy fire. Nevertheless we were able to take some of them out. While I took on to disable [M].Blodwyn,O`Driscoll I got too close to one of the base defences which sent me out of my ship in an escape pod.
I was told later that the fight didnt turn out good for us, with the two strange vessels engaging the remaining forces aswell.

In short:
We had a fight first with the Mollys, later apparently with other, unidentified forces; the Mollys were forced back to their Base; we had heavy losses; foreign enemy vessels and a Nomad were inbound

Yours sincerly,
