Admirals,

Yesterday evening I was responding to a distress call hailing from Barra Anchorage in Tau-31; it suggested a wing of Gallic strike craft entered the system and the Crayter wing sent to intercept it have found trouble. I strapped up into my Defender at Carlisle and rushed to assist, granted, beelining along the lanes took short enough time to reach the battle scene along the lane from Leeds gate to Holman and even out the odds for a sorely outnumbered lone "Nyx" of the Republic. My arrival seems to have broken the combat formation of the Gauls and cause enough distress to destroy one of the assailants and hold out long enough for more reinforcements - a Churchill gunboat, Castle, to arrive and support further mopping of the intruders. Not even the arrival of Outcast raiding wing changed the tide of the dogfight.

It's not an odd event, too, Outcast raiders are frequent in Tau 31, given the Tau 23 has become a cesspoll of crime following the end of Kusari-Gallia conflict, but I'm ought to point out Gauls are seeking out vengeance for De Bregancon. This time it's three strike craft, next time it's a full blown strike force. Macduff battlegroup and Harris garrison must be reinforced - and we must brace for the worst. This vengeance visit from the Gauls is first - but isn't the last.

Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.
