SUBJECT: Gallic Treachery of Unspeakable Measure

Comrades,

I present an alarming report that forces me to conclude that even the promise of surrender cannot be trusted.

I received a communication from Senior Lieutenant Alexander Schmatko that a Royal Navy Enclave battleship, RNS-Jean.Bart, was present in Omega-49 and that he had engaged. I departed from Omega-55, however unfortunately was unable to reach Alexander in time to assist. I proceeded to his last known location close to the Dublin jump hole and decided to jump to Dublin, believing his assailant may have jumped through.

Once in Dublin I detected an Enclave ship within proximity and closed the distance. I was fortunate: the ship appeared stuck in the asteroid field. By now my priority was to stall until reinforcements arrived and we could destroy the ship. I attempted to extract information regarding its purpose in the sector, however its captain proved uncooperative. Eventually it broke free of the asteroid field and engaged its cruise engines, and I began to chase whilst reporting our position to the coming reinforcements.

In time I was able to disrupt its engines and engage, to buy time for urgent reinforcements to arrive. The Peremoga soon joined the battle, and together we successfully engaged. The ship had been damaged from a previous engagement, so soon as I could see the battle damage over its hull and explosive decompressions venting crew into space. As a courtesy I broadcast a message: do not sacrifice your crew, surrender. And Captain Dupont, much to my surprise, agreed to surrender. Under our instructions the shield was lowered which is when I detected Coalition pilot escape pod signals. I instructed our captive to hand over the pods to the Peremoga, and they complied. I believed that success was on the horizon: there would be no need for more death today.

How unfortunately wrong I was.

The Jean Bart was escorted to the Omega-49 jump hole, to be taken to Lanzarote for disarming under Zoner supervision. They have a knack for disarming. Whilst plotting our destination, to my horror additional Enclave ships appeared out of the jump hole!

Before we could effectively react the Jean Bart closed the distance to the Peremoga and fired its weapons. It hit a key system and the Peremoga was, tragically, destroyed. I pray the crew and the rescued pilots were safely in escape pods when that happened.

Myself and Vulture engaged the cowards with new found intensity for such a disgusting act. Abusing the accords of surrender! I called for retreat once another Enclave battleship was detected on sensors, however this was shortly joined by two of our own battlecruisers! A beautiful sight! The Yat-Sen and Erin.Aot joined us in engaging the RNS-Triomphant. The Erin.Aot suffered catastrophic damage and tragically shared the fate of the Peremoga, however its sacrifice was not in vain as the Triomphant added its scrap metal to the forming debris field.

At this point we began to clear up the remaining strike craft, until another Enclave warship appeared! With the Yat-Sen badly damaged I was not keen on continuing this battle, however the RNS-Saint.Louis gave us no choice and we were soon left no choice but to fight for our lives. And we had victory! We continued the battle against snub craft, including a pirate who had chosen to side with the Gallics, where Vulture sacrificed his damaged ship to destroy the pirate with him. The remaining snub craft attempted to engage me, to an unfortunate end for one of them at my hands.

I believed the battle to be won. I did not expect the Corsairs to involve themselves, but it seems their blood lust knows no bounds. Allying themselves with the remaining Enclave forces, their Osiris Murmillo launched a savage attack on the Yat-Sen despite my attempts to convince it otherwise and the Yat-Sen was destroyed.

Ivan and I began moving towards the Omega-52 jump hole, however my luck ran out as the Murmillo destroyed my bomber with a ship-to-ship missile. I was lucky to eject in time. Ivan's fate is currently unknown as I was picked up by a patrol and taken to the Ben Warner.

There will be no calls for surrender in the future. The Enclave will be killed on sight. Captain Dupont will be made to suffer.

I hope this report finds you well.

Yours sincerely,

Commissar-Captain
