From: Général de Brigade Xion Sisco Location: Planet Leeds Encryption level: High Topic: Dublin Patrol Bonjour Général.
I took the RNS Honneur to Dublin to investigate reports of a possible hostile station just beyond the minefield. Upon entering the system via the jump hole in Leeds, I engaged my cruise engines, and began a standard search pattern. I reached the edge of the minefield (Evidence), and decided to proceed into the field at low speed to continue my patrol. It wasn't long before my sensors picked up a derelict ship, which turned out to be the remains of an escort ship (Evidence). A quick scan of the wreck showed nothing of interest, so I went back to my patrol once more. Not long after, I detected weapon signatures coming from an area in quadrant EF 23, near the jump hole to New London. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the weapons were actually the defense platforms of a hostile base that goes by the name "Goldern Coin" (Evidence). I attempted to move in close for better scan data, but I was immediately fired upon by the platforms, which caused a shield failure, and slight damage to my port aft cargo section. After moving out of range, I decided to return to Leeds for repairs, as my crew was reporting structural integrity problems in the adjacent cargo bay to the damaged one. We made it back to Planet Leeds, and are currently conducting repairs, and inspections.
