Enclosed is the latest report of the situation in New London, Leeds and Dublin.

------------------------REPORT START-------------------------------------

The battle has finally died down in New London, and it is my pleasure to announce we have achieved total victory in the New London field of operations. The enemy losses are near total, with only two, one extremely damaged battlegroups leaving with their tails between their legs.



The Suffolk, already damaged greatly while defending the planet from the main push, was engaged in combat with the final assault Valor, Nogent. It appears that the damage sustained was too much for the Suffolk, and following the dispatching of the Nogent with support from Liberty fleets, the Suffolk began to list vertically, indicating that the ship no longer had the ability to control itself. Fortunately, with the enemy forces either dead or running, other ships were able to board the Suffolk and rescue much of the crew.



Following the battle, the Norfolk, together with the most battle ready Liberty fleet, the Ottowa, moved on Southampton, making quick work of the logistics ship that was stationed there, and reading for the final push on Leeds. The situation on Leeds as we all know is most dire, and the push must proceed at pace.



I proceeded to the Leeds system to scout out the enemy positions therein, and after exiting the jump hole from New London, it became clear that the Dax was positioned to slow down any movement in the direction of Leeds planet, it would seem the GRN are, instead of saving their own fleets, are willing to sacrifice them in order to complete the destruction of Leeds, quite frankly a pitiful move. Nevertheless, the Dax, not at full strength following the battle over New London, prepares to meet any push to Leeds, and will likely be routed in the attempt.



Passing by the planet, it was clear that many of the bombardment ships decided to turn on their sisters in protest of the move to attack the planet, unfortunately they were too few in number to stop the bombardment itself, martyring themselves in the vicinity of the planet. The Montmorency, until recently adjacent to the planet, has moved in the direction of the Magellan hole, like the Dax, it seems to be attempting to prevent any push from breaking the bombardment of Leeds, another cowardly commander who has sacrificed his honour in supporting the genocide. Both these fleets will meet justice in the days to come.



Finally, moving to Dublin via the jumphole in Leeds, the battleship Athos, who had taken part in the battle of New London, has limped all the way past the Battleship Hood, and is on a heading to the Edinburgh jump hole. It is unknown where it will move to thereafter, though in its current state I doubt it could pose a great threat to our operations to come in Leeds.

------------------------REPORT END-------------------------------------

While I am pleased we have prevailed in New London, the situation on Leeds, the former home of many, myself included, is most dire. I will do all in my power to mitigate the damage and speed up our push on Leeds, with the hope to save as many of those left on Leeds.
