DÉBUT DE TRANSMISSION
Classification: SECRET
· Sender: Ensign Gabriel Cadieux · Recipient: Main Fleet Headquarters · Subject: A skirmish in Zurich
Bonjour,
I have just been discharged from New Paris Hôpital Militaire following my injuries sustained during the events I will be covering in this report.
On the date 12.12.744, during my patrol in Picardy system, I received a distress signal from GNI regarding a stolen Liner vessel, originally moored to Calais Research Station. The vessel was last seen moving towards the Zurich Jump Gate, and I was assigned to an interception wing composed of whatever navy forces available at the time: Myself, a Gallic Navy Gendarmerie vessel codename "Matraque-36", one GDA pilot by the name Gaston Corbeil and a secondary fleet fighter, codename "Farfadet".
After a hasty deployment, we gave chase, and just as we reached the edge of our operating area, Cologne Jump Gate, we've found a pair of freelancers, together with a pair of Brigands! Freelancers claimed to have no idea where the stolen ship is, claiming it 'dissapeared in front of them'. Not believing their testimony, along with the face they were interacting with Brigands, we demanded they turn themselves over for interrogation aboard the nearest facility, to which they refused, and a four on four skirmish began in earnest.
The Gendarmerie vessel was ill-equipped for the fight, and was disabled relatively easily, but regardless, we've managed to take out one of the freelancer vessels, before another freelancer vessel joined in and enemy forces overwhelmed ours. My vessel was next to be disabled, but from what I heard over the radio in my escape pod, enemy paid dearly, and the fight ended with both parties survivors disengaging into safety.
Unfortunately, we were unable to capture any of the enemy pilots, and captured Liner whereabouts remain a mystery. Audio transcript of events before the engagement are attached below.
