Bonjour,

For the last few days I have been running patrols in and around the Southampton Shipyard area from the battleship Castres. We received word this afternoon from the combat information center aboard the Castres that Bretonian intelligence forces were active in New London and Leeds, either gathering information or covering blockade runners.

I positioned my vessel near the Leeds jump hole in New London, and soon enough we stumbled upon a Bretonian intelligence forces bomber who had cloaked, attempting to ambush me. We fought a rolling gunfight through the field where the Chanzy suffered no damage on account of excellent gunnery by the flak crew. I estimate we shot down or deflected no fewer than thirty projectiles.

The enemy bomber pilot, Jonas Hudson, withdrew after his craft was heavily damaged. Due to his superior speed and maneuverability through the debris field, I did not give pursuit. I did not want to fall into an ambush or leave a hole in the perimeter surrounding the Castres.

I am proud to report that our first encounter with primary Bretonian forces was a victory, albeit not decisive. A full after-action report assembled by my combat staff is attached. Please inform supply to increase shipments of flak equipment to the front. It saves lives.

Très Respectueusement,
Capitaine de Corvette Alaric Jean-Paul Favager d'Astier
Commandant, RNS Chanzy

Transmission Terminée
