Filing a report in regards to a skirmish in the New Holland system, with request for further action in relation to some of the enemy participants.

I will attempt to be as detailed as possible, however it must be noted that my ship was shot down, and the black-box that was retrieved by post-battle clean up teams does not contain perfect information.

Our small group that was intercepting the vast influx of smugglers following our annexation of the planet, was attacked by a combined force of Corsairs, Mercenaries and Zoners, We were badly outnumbered in the snub department, this is due to anti-smuggling operations dividing our forces, or so I am told.

Below is a list of participants. In this list you will find certain mercenaries, and also Zoners who require further action, it must be made known that these individuals are engaging in open hostilities with her Majesties forces, and should be treated as hostile in the future. I make this request because for a large portion of time, the mercenaries and indeed the Zoners were loitering around the planet, and we could have fought them before the Corsairs arrived, potentially giving us an advantage in the following battle.

The battle started when the 3 TBH Corsairs entered within range of the planet, and immediately hired the 3 Forlorn, though this seemed more premeditated. At the start of the skirmish, only 3 of our 5 snubs were present, and we were forced to fight 2-1, by the time our 2 snub reinforcements had arrived, we were already down a Gunboat, and our bomber was soon to follow, though the bomber took a fighter with it. Myself and Everett were able to damage one of the Forlorn, but meanwhile our 2 other fighters that had arrived were swarmed by the 4 other snubs, now joined by a Zoner Roc, a Zoner Camara, and 2 other unknown ships, likely Freelancers or Zoners. Needless to say, our 2 reinforcements did not last long, and myself and Everett were next. I attempted to receive cover from the Thunderer, and she was able to take down one of the Forlorn for my delaying efforts. The Thunderer was then swarmed by the remaining snubs, able to take down one more Forlorn and heavily damage another.

I again strongly urge action be taken against these mercenaries and Zoners who attacked us.
