I've succesfully completed my first patrol on this day. Suffice to say, it was eventful, despite my expectations. A brief summary of the events is written below.
Following the arrival from Picardy, near the jump gate, I've come across a Pirate Transport under Rogue identification. After questioning it for a short time, I proceeded to disable it, as it was carrying both contraband and flying under the banner of a pirate group.
In Languedoc, whilst en route to my last patrol waypoint, a Brigand gunboat appeared from the Clelles Asteroid Field. It attempted to flee, but was intercepted and promptly routed with the assistance of an additional Bureau bomber.
My fighter has suffered minor damage and is currently being repaired at Avallon Station in Burgundy. That concludes the patrol report.
