Admiralty,


Today I was passed something worrying, we have a plague. Not only that, but the memory of Planet Leeds has been desecrated, in front of the memorial no less. A truly shocking event, this certainly isn’t an isolated incident.

I’m talking of course about Pirates, Zoner IFF’ed vessels halting, then formally engaging civilian traffic. Had I not seen the footage, nor logs myself, then I would not have believed it. These brazen acts cannot go unpunished. We all fought hard to retain our right to be Bretonian, we will not let these dogs once again bring harm to civilians under our watch.

My colleague is transmitting the data now.

[Data pings through to the console, Ping One, Ping Two, Ping Three, Ping Four.]

[The logs follow suit, flashing up onto the screen.]

As you can see, this was a brazen attack almost on top of the memorial to the fallen. Had this Samura vessel not reached the safe haven of Durham, its crew would have faced the same fate our brave men and women did fighting those Gallic bastards. The cutthroat even had the audacity of transferring credits to our onlooker. The funds were passed onto the poor Samura vessel facing this assault.

I have sent assets far up the line, outside of our influence; I’m getting reports back of these same Zoner vessels cutting off our trade. While these victims are not ships in our employ, they are still transporting commodities that the good Bretonian people have toiled over. This needs to be nipped in the bud, pronto.

I hope you’ll do the right thing.

Fairfax out.
