Ship logs, entry #001. Captain Lewis of HMS Chelsea speaking. We were on our return from Edinburgh space where we were on a 'cleaning' mission. There was reports of increased Gaian and Molly patrols in the area, especially patrols with Gunship-class and Destroyer-class vessels. We dispatched of them quickly, the firepower of London-Interdictor really is something.

We proceeded back to Planet New London to restock and I've let most of my crew to blow out steam for a couple of hour until they finish restocking Chelsea. After couple of hours in the orbit, Primary Fleet's patrol passed near us, we've overheard the communication between them and seems like they were headed to Dublin for a patrol, that's when I decided to tag along with them. I was confident in my crew and the firepower of my vessel that we'll provide a safe escort for Primary Fleet pilots.

We started the patrol as usual, went to pay a visit area surrounding New London, Leeds and Edinburgh jumpholes in that specific order. Dublin was quiet, which was unusual to me, it's favorite hotspot for Mollies and 'their' gold. Nothing was out of ordinary in those specific areas.

Afterwards we switched course to a primary Molly hotspot, which is the asteroid field surrounding Arranmore Base, a known Molly installation. To our surprise, they expanded a lot since the last time we were here. They managed to build a shipyard on top of the Arranmore which could only mean their patrols and activity might bolster up soon.

Chelsea remained on the edge of the asteroid field in order to provide cover and safe exit route if BAF pilots got in trouble while doing a reconnaissance. They've proceeded with scanning the installations and weapon platforms around. We also detected a Scylla-class Destroyer sitting right next to Arranmore and Foyle. They decided to destroy a couple of weapon platforms in order to weaken their defenses a bit, it will be costly for Mollies to repair them or construct new ones.

After some bombing of weapon platforms, we set course for a known Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing installation, the Graves Station. We were told by Commodore O'Dukes that the Graves mining field is almost depleted, that is a worrying issue which could mean Mollies will have an easier access to it and potentially harm more miners and traders stopping by Graves. I told Commodore to notify Primary Fleet once more if he hasn't already about resupplying the Graves field with new mines, hopefully it will be done since our Armed Forces are indeed on low supply due to recent encounters and wars.

Shortly afterwards we parted ways with the Commodore and Ensign after I escorted them back to New London, where we received a transmission from Bretonia Merchant Fleet that they're starting a transport convoy that will be leaving Bretonia space. We set course for Omega-3 to meet up with the convoy and provide an escort to the edge of Bretonia space.

Sadly, once we arrived and were ready to go, one of the Merchant's Fleet transport captains detected an engine malfunction and convoy was cancelled because it was not worth the time nor resources to send a single transport on a venture outside Bretonian space. On your way back, we managed to intercept an Outcast bomber, transponder was Spack.Jarrow. He was apparently intoxicated and all he was rambling about was rum. Quite weird fella, but he did not show any aggression nor signs that he will remain in our space, so I've ordered him to drop the Bretonian and Civilian pilots he had in his cargo hold and let him off with a warning.

We've returned to New London, where we moored with Thames Outpost to resupply and drop off the Bretonian Pilots and Civilians we took back from the drunken Outcast. We will stay here for the night, tomorrow, new tasks are waiting for us. Godspeed, Captain Lewis signing off.
