Bonsoir mes amis, Générals, Grand Maréchal.

Again I want to express my greatfullness for registering me in your ranks! Me and my proud crew are happy to serve our objective.

Next to this I have to report a recent incident in the Leeds system. Several scouts spotted hostile vessels. Their movements lead us to guess their aim was the Leeds orbit. The Bethony's long range scanners did as always a good work and detected a rather huge fleet heading towards their position. Facing this small threat a defence force was gathered to protect the Roi's territory.
The goal of the agressors seemed to be our defensive lines from begin with as they closed up to battleship Bethony. It was a group of all kinds of Sirian scum which creeped out of their holes. We detected 2 Crayter carriers and cruisers, 1 Bretonian battleship, 2 old Imperial cruisers, an Outcast destroyer as well as several snubcrafts. Due to their numbers we decided to engage them with smaller force. I took the command over 2 Secondary Fleet Valors, the R.N.S. Gascone and the R.N.S. Flandre as well as the Battlecruiser R.N.S. Duelist. Snubcrafts supported us from the Secondary Fleet aswell as from the Avant Garde. We've given the aggressors the opportunity of the first strike. Their snubcrafts were the first to move in and the first to die. The R.N.S. Duelist's gunners did a good job taking care of them. The attack of their battleships turned out to be an artillery-bombardement. Due to a few tactical mistakes on their side we destroyed their ships one by one. I apologize for letting the H.M.S battleship escape. Their fleet fell fast and was split apart when their moral was broken. Unfortunately, the Ressentiment was being heavily damaged by that scum. It is to an extend we had to board the escape ships because several decks were in fire and the hull recieved some remarkable holes. The ship will be repaired and it will take a while until me and my crew can use it again.

Sincèrement
de Justéton, Jean Yves Patrice
Marine Royal Gauloise, Commandant
