Beginning of Report

January 1st, 818

Came across something that was worth reporting. Apparently a vessel named the "P.Schyler & Sons", a Junker vessel that seemed to have came out of a time anomaly. I don't know how or why it appeared in Leeds but it did.

Now it's worth reporting because the vessel had no crew on it and I received the distress call from a Zoner, one who came and towed my ship that was damaged in Orkney. Upon arriving, I found the ship critically damaged. The hull was below ten percent, and the vessels reactor was going to go critical at any second. We managed to retrieve a few things from the vessel.

Some of it was 100,000 credits, the Captains personal funds, as shown here.

The rest were medical logs and the last log of the captain, the ship was on an intercept course to Planet Leeds, but we managed to change it's navigations chart, and sent it to the Leeds star. Apparently from one of the logs there was an unknown virus on it called the "FEV Virus". Which apparently originated in Omicron Alpha. We couldn't get a sample for risk of contamination.

Report #2, January 1st, 818

This happened late in the evening, after the Rheinland Admiral and their escort left back to Rheinland space. We were packing things up when two Joker Thugs appeared on scanners. I was ordered to engage and so I did. Fleet Admiral Nelson also engaged. His bomber was shot down first, while I continued to toy with the Thugs.

HMS-Swansea, and Lieutenant Command Boris McDonald soon joined into the fray. It was a long fight before the Swansea pulled back to Canterbury station, which provided support fire against the enemy bombers. One of the thugs was then shot down just as Fleet Admiral Nelson called the Swansea to retreat. The Pendragon was on station at this point, after picking up Sir Nelson's pod.

My ship was suffering from malfunctions across the board. I was taking the precautions to get it fixed during the heat of the combat when my mini-razor fired and clipped the last Thug, forcing him to eject into his pod. Talk about luck.

Report #3, January 2nd, 818

Took command of the Wellesley after hearing about a certain "Ell-Morro" being in Leeds. Sure enough, the moment we Unmoor the "Ell-Morro" is in orbit of Leeds, and begins to flee towards the Wellesley. After a short pep-talk on how we were going to send them to Davy Jones locker again, we engaged. Bomber and fighter support quickly arrived and "Ell-Morro" went down in dust and debris.

Report #4, January 2nd, 818

This report will be short, but we engaged a Kusari Battleship outside Stokes. The Invictus was heavily damaged and had to return to Leeds for repair. I do not have any Gun-cam shots of the fight. However, we could see the explosion from Leeds surface. Quite lovely I'd say

Report #5, January 2nd, 818

Shortly after we took down the Kusari Battleship, I was sent off to Manchester to escort a prison liner. However, the Prison Liner never arrived. So I returned to Leeds and took up search looking for a small Gaian raiding party. We found the Gaian's near sector F4-5, for some strange reason. Hardly wanting any small talk, the Gaians engaged with two Gunboats, and a few fighters.

We had two squadrons consisting of a mix of Fighters and Bombers. So we can say the Gaian's efforts were quickly swatted. Gunboats quickly went down, when both Gunboats were gone, I opened my weapons up on "Shadowcat" But was quickly tailed and engaged by a "Moldy Crow" Heavy Fighter. Pulling off, I turned around and engaged the Moldy Crow fighter, taking it down quickly.

Happy to report that none of the Gaian fighters escaped. However, their escape pods is another story.

Report #6, January 2nd, 818

An Outcast Battleship entered the system, hours after the fight between the Gaians and our squadrons. We hardly had any birds in the air. But the Captain of the Outcast Battleship let us escort it to the Tau-31 gate (We broke off after Stokes.) The Battleship did fire on Stokes, however we managed to stop the Captain from wasting his resources. Upon returning, we ran into some <strike>Nomads</strike> which were quickly dispatched of. I have no images of that fight however, due to being away in the Derby Mess hall.

Report #7, January 2nd, 818

After a long day. I was sitting in the Hangar working on my Templar (in a previous report, I said it was having system malfunctions.) When I noticed a few of our lads running towards their bombers. Since never had the funds, to buy a Challenger. I went to the bridge of the Invictus, where First Officer Richard Hans, informed me of a situation in Cambridge. Taking command, I ordered an immediate route update. We secured Comms with the rest of the forces that were mobilizing.

We moved into Cambridge, now made aware of the Corsair battleships, an Osiris and a Legate. Guild Master Stoat was already engaged. Quickly we joined the rest of the awaiting fleet, which included the Portsmouth, Sovereign, Invictus, multiple fighters and bombers.

Near the end of the battle, the Portsmouth had to pull back due to taking heavy fire, David York, an engineer working on the Sovereign was killed by an exploding power junction. Commodore Doyle moored the Sovereign in orbit of Cambridge to meet with the Family of Engineer David York.

The Invictus suffered little to no damage, and the crew members are safe. Unknown number casualties for the Portsmouth, still waiting for the numbers to come in.

Oh, and Ensign Adama was caught in the reactor explosion of the Legate.

Debriefing for December 30th, 817

I decided to add this to this report. One it was needed to be done, and two because I was already working on the report. Took a lone flight down to Orkney, which is far out of our way, though I figured it would be worth it to get everything together, and it was.

Despite me being fine, I ran into a wing of Gaian eagles, which did most of the damage. I retreated via thruster, as it was the only thing working. Shortly after I had a system malfunction which sent my craft into a slow drift. Life support systems were still working, Long range communications sadly, weren't. I couldn't contact anyone at the time. But I managed to work on it until a rescue party arrived, which was just after I sent the distress beacon.

I was rescued a few hours later, and got some rest on the Tau-31 Construction base in Tau-23.

That would be the end of this report.

Signed,

Lieutenent Commander Austin Goodmen
