Command,

I'm reporting urgently on the situation in Orkney. The patrol cruiser Hermes came upon a firefight between the Bretonian dreadnought HMS Grandiose and local Gallic Navy forces. We were able to get the situation broken up but the Bretonian vessel was showing extensive damage. We convinced her captain to cease hostilities and explain themselves in exchange for escorting her back to the Tau 31.

The Captains "explanation" if you can count it such seemed more like the ramblings of a small time warlord then an officer of Her Majesty's Navy to be honest, filled with contradictions and the like.
He informed me the Bretonian Armed Forces were on full alert in a "peacekeeping" capacity.... thats main directive was to beseige and destroy all Gallic installations in the Orkney system to create some sort of void buffer between Crayter and the surrounding Houses.

I informed this imbec- emmm person, that the Republic would ensure the peace and security of the Taus and that their actions were illegal and inappropriate for an officer of the Bretonian Kingdom.

After the Grandiose headed off for field repairs, we directed the Hermes back into Orkney and found the last Gallic Navy bomber pilot that was engaged in the firefight to get their statement.

This individual, one Gabriel.Cadieux, told me this was the latest in waves of attacks upon their installation Fort de Bregancon, and upon their local defense garrison. Whilst still interviewing this Gaul, deep scans again picked up HMS Grandiose, freshly patched up with a bomber escort.

The Bretonian, without a comm recognition, immediately took up long range firing position and unleashed all her salvos on the Gallic station!

At this point, my command crew and I thought we were in some fractured reality and finally regained composure enough to hail the Grandiose. Her captain started hurling all sorts of insults about us being traitors or some silliness and the Hermes repeatedly ordered her to ceasefire.

Even after taking up a defensive stance directly in front the Gallic station in the Bretonian warships direct line of fire, they blindly kept up their bombardment, without care for logic or their allies health.

All atempts at reasoning with the insane commander were futile, and they were soon joined by other Bretonian war vessels including the dreadnought HMS Sovereign.

This vessel was similarly captained by the mentally infirm who informed us that Crayterian vessels should protect them from the very Gallic garrison they were bombarding!

The area started becoming choked with Gallic and Bretonian snubs, a Gaian who seemed very interested in killing Gallic forces and aiding the BAF vessels, an Auxian who seemed to lurk at a distance and soon escalated as Gallic reinforcements were called in to defend their facilities but were heavily outnumbered and quickly taken down. It was at this point that we could no longer affect the situation, apparently dealing with madmen in charge of Bretonia's fleet vessels.

It is my opinion that the situation is untenable with the currently allocated patrol forces and request Command clarify our next course of action.
