Gunship Brolo departed Eolie to investigate gathering forces in Tau-23, under orders to provide any assistance to IMG forces where possible. IMG vessels were gathered at Java, and after linking, moved out towards the Tau-31 jump gate region. Alongside allied IMG forces, we arrived within the perimeter of a recently constructed BMM installation, guarded by company vessels, freelancers, bounty hunters, and even some vessels of the Bretonian Armed Forces. After the usual spat back and forth, IMG forces moved to engage the station's defenders, prompting our engagement.
Though the fight initially leaned towards the allied side, further reinforcements from both BMM and the Bretonian Armed Forces, as well as incoming hostile Outcast vessels, turned the battle in the enemy's favor. Brolo was able to secure the kill on three enemy vessels, but was disabled following heavy enemy counter-fire. We returned to Tau-44 for repairs, and were redeployed to join IMG forces once again, but enemy opposition had grown exponentially in the time since. Brolo was heavily damaged, and was forced to retreat once more.
Tallied kills for the first engagement will be marked below. Recommend additional forces be diverted to assist IMG vessels should the Admiralty deem it necessary.
