Good-morrow chaps and guvs. Commander Sutton here,

Our flight today began rather smashing as we received word of some Corsair chap hanging around the Omega-3 system. Ensign Sid Fire and I proceeded towards Freeport 1, where we came across two delightful fellows: A Freelance Serenity designated the 'iPA|Sydara', and the Corsair chap we got word of, designated 'El.Corsario[TBH]'. Ensign Fire and I began to follow them, but lost track, and eventually reacquired their position at Freeport 1.

The two of us, soon joined by Commander Nicole Brennan, began a somewhat heated discussion in an attempt to talk the chap out of fighting. We might have succeeded had a comrade of his, 'Hector,Beltran[TBH]', not shown up. In addition to this Centurion pilot, we were also greeted by a Gaian chap who took to their side, as Gaians tend to do.

This proved futile, as the situation quickly boiled off into one. We made distance from the Freeport, in courtesy to the neutral Zoners request, and the fight began. Our first target was 'El.Corsario[TBH]', the chap we'd gotten word about, who was flying a Correo-class freighter. It wasn't long before it was taken out, blasted to bits by Commander Brennan's gunfire.

With that, we focused fire on the Gaian Anaconda, who proved a rather stubborn lad to take down. The two fighters that remained, the Gaian and the Centurion, focused on Commander Brennan, who eventually fell to her own mine. Not long afterwards, Ensign Fire also fell to his own loadout error, leaving just me against the Gaian and Corsair. I put in a good few shots, blasting the Gaian to bloody shrapnel with my mines, and focused on the last target. He proved just as stubborn as I did, the todger. In the end, however, I ended up falling to a mid-space collision. I put in a load of bloody good hits, and I'm certain the todger was cursing his way back to Crete.

Also, on a side note regarding the requisition of my Crayterian "Nyx" VHF, I have completed my evaluation of the craft.

Nyx Evaluation

While the main core of the fighter was more-or-less retrofitted to work with our technology, it has resulted in a slightly slower recharge time on it's power banks. This small issue may be corrected, should the Crayter Military allow us access to their hardware schematics, and we may be able to field more of these craft.

As for their practicability, the fighter is an excellent bird to fly. Holding more nimble responsiveness, and a better maneuverability array, it is definitely more suited for dueling against single combatants. This, in coordination with it's sleek shape and quick engine responsiveness, has allowed for it to make lightning quick decisions that would spell success in a flash.

There are a few drawbacks, however. The armor on the craft, while impressive in it's own right, is much thinner than that of the Templar, and thus is more subject to damage than many of the fine craft produced by BMM. Perhaps we could allocate funds towards a joint project to increase the armor of the Nyx, while maintaining its superb maneuverability. This could greatly aid the fight against Gallia, as not only would we be fielding these new craft, but so would the Crayter Military, as the design is theirs to begin with.

It is just a thought, however. I am sure that BMM will continue to make great accomplishments alongside the Armed Forces, and I dread to see a day when they've run out of creative wisdom. Regardless, this report on the craft is just my findings. I find the ship itself to be absolutely top, and alongside the fighters made by BMM, it also adds to the scenery of the patrol wings. Variety and such.

Long live Queen Carina, and bless her Armed Forces.
May the tea we drink choke the enemies of our realm.
