Today at 1600, the Council called an alert after they received intelligence about impending raid on the Roussillon System by the Gallic Royal Navy. Myself, a number of CR bombers, and the CR gunboat Tyche scrambled to meet the incoming force. We were joined shortly after by a pair of Maquis fighters and ships from the Maltese Opposition Army.
The enemy force consisted of the Valor-class battleship Sarcelles, the Obstinate-class battlecruiser Grenat, the Perilous-class gunboat Bronzite, and a fighter flown by MRG pilot Pierre Vaillant. We moved to engage the targets as soon as they appeared on sensors. The bombers and gunboat focused fire first on the Bronzite, then the Grenat, and finally the Sarcelles. The fighters focused on the lone MRG fighter. The final tally of the battle was as follows.
