Description de la/des situation/-s
Situation:
On the begining of my flight, I was called by the capttain of the GRN-Marseille, who tried to defend a gallic trader from a Maquis and a Bretonian raider in the Tau region. The 2 enemy bombers, however, got the transport down before I even had a chance to get to them. THey where then in a fight with the Marseille, which had serious trouble fighting in the dense field of Tau 31. So I made it my main goal to get the Marseille out of the system without any bigger damage. We were able to get back into Leeds, where we were able to hide from the enemies. At this time, both sides were calling in reinforcements. The Bretonians got the BAF|HMS-Sovereign to their support, but our support from Planet Leeds came ways quicker and in higher numbers. So the RNS-La.Galissonniere joined our battleship fleet, and Alizee, GRN|Raptor and MRG|Eloi.Leclerk supported me against the bombers. I was able to finish off the Maquis bomber, and the La.Galisonniere landed a lucky shot on the Bretonian. While we were fighting with the bombers, the La.Galissonniere took heavy damage by the HMS-Sovereign. We were not able to prevent that, I apologize. But at least GRN|Raptor was able to keep the Sovereign distrupted, so the GRN-Marseille could avenge our fallen Valor.
A short time after we took care of their last ship, we found another Bretonian bomber, which Raptor engaged in a duel. However, we couldn't finish the fight, because an Ion-storm forced us to retreat to Leeds. We did not see the ship again after that.
While we thought the battle was already over at this point, the Bretonians used their chance to reinforce their troops in Leeds.
The BRF|HMS-Leviathan battleship, the HMS-Gossamer gunboat and a fighter pilot named BAF|MN-Jeff_Miller quickly arrived in the orbit of Planet Leeds.
A few of our forces were already back planetside on Leeds, but we recieved backup from Garde-17, a brave bomber pilot. The captain of the Marseille came up with a plan, which would guarantee our victory. Their battleship was very busy with shooting us, so it did not notice that the Marseille was already behind it. We all concentrated our fire on the Leviathan, so it went down easily. After that, we fought Jeff Miller, who got taken out by Garde-17's alertness. Garde-17 quickly noticed that the enemy was launching an unhealthy amount of mines, so he responded with his cruise distruptor missile, which detonated the mines and took out the fighter. During this time, the gunboat left the battle area towards the West Leeds Smog Cloud. I apologize again, that should not have happened. If I would have been a bit more attentively, we would have been able to also destroy this ship.
But in the end, I think it was a rather successful day for us. I will list all important information below.
