Messieurs, mesdames,

I have conducted a patrol under the orders of Général de Justéton, acting on a tip from Traffic Monitoring about two unidentified contacts having made their way as far as Ile-de-France. Employees from the Gallic Metal Service were known to be on the scene. We moved on to investigate and, catching up to them in Orleanais, marked the contacts as Sirian Freelancers, flying a so called "Border Worlds" transport escorted by an attack craft of Zoner design. They refused our request to stop and remained silent as we disrupted them. The transport then charged towards Orléans, even as I fired warning shots. Unsure about his intentions and not wanting to put the lives of our people at risk, I neutralised the craft. The escort had not moved nor replied to our hails in the meanwhile. Expecting an attack, I sent two torpedo volleys his way, disabling the craft.


No further incident occured during the operation.
