We began with a supply trip. We exported tantalum from Vierzon to Crete, where we exchanged it for artifacts. We exchanged the artifacts for side arms in New Berlin, and delivered the supplies to Fort Albi. We had a few close calls with patrols on the return trip, but we suffered no casualties. The VL Enquête and VL Autorité were employed for this expedition, and have been returned to their mooring points for routine inspection.
On the last leg of the run, our fighter escorts diverted to interdict a few miners in Dublin. I exchanged the VL Enquête for the VL Inquisitrice and returned to Dublin to retrieve the gold, which was later stored on the VI Bastille for safe keeping.
Afterwards, Aquitaine's system scanners detected a large anomaly, but it was difficult to pinpoint at first. We scrambled a bomber patrol to seek it out, and (haphazardly) followed its signal until it revealed itself in vicinity of our shipyard. It was an alien vessel, and quite large, with the apparent firepower to rival our capital ships. We dispatched it with haste, suffering no casualties but expended supplies and some non-critical hull damage.
Shortly thereafter, system security detected a small flight of Bretonian fighters. We docked the bombers and scrambled fighters and split our patrol. The first target was intercepted in orbit of planet Bordeaux, the latter two between Bordeaux and the Dublin jump hole. The Bretonian pilots suffered a friendly fire incident, destroying one of their ships. We finished the remainder off after they attempted to retreat.
No casualties incurred but again expended supplies and non-critical hull damage. Captured goods were again transferred to the VI Bastille. Pièces jointes:
