Ship log, entry #2:

21/04/828, New London System - rather uneventful day, we spend most of our day patrolling through Leeds System. We've spotted suspicious cruiser-sized vessel Vile Scorn moving deeper into the Taus, but we weren't able to intercept it in time as our encounter with it was only brief. Nevertheless, we issued warning about it to any passing vessel, especially civilians.
Later during the day, when we returned to New London's orbit, we've met an interesting unarmed survey vessel NX-01. We exchanged a few words and it helped us to test our onboard jump drive successfully without any incidents, although my crew will need a lot more experience to use such technology in more volatile situations.
And in the end of the day, there was a pleasant surprise for us - by order of Admiralty, we have been admitted into the Bretonia Royal Fleet's ranks. I toasted with my senior officers to these good news, even Nigel wasn't complaining about my glass of vodka that day.

22/04/828, New London System - Our first real engagement. At first, we have received report about Molly's capital vessels lurking through southern Bretonia and we joined forces with auxiliary vessel HMS George Orwell, although this report was outdated or incorrect and no such pirate vessels were found. We parted our ways and returned to the New London System to resume our patrols.
Later, while on our patrol from Planet New London and Belvedere Refinery, we were ambushed by two corsair battlecruisers CNS Triunfante and CNS Tribunus. In a brief exchange of fire and despite our best efforts, one of their shots pierced our armored citadel and disabled our main power at 1852, wounding 32 crewmen and killing 4, leaving us disabled.
Before they were able to board us or finish us off, HMS Majestic and HMS Black Prince came to our rescue and managed to inflict critical damage upon the corsair vessels, resulting in their mission kill and forcing them to withdraw to avoid complete destruction.

We were towed back to the Waterloo Station, where we managed to restore our main power and done much needed repairs.

I found our combat performance unsatisfactory and we will resume our operation as soon as possible.

Anna Kwiatkowska,
CO of the HMS Minotaur,
Signing off.
