Captain Denis Bodrov, Gunboat Squadron Commander

TO: Sirius Coalition Communication Center
SUBJECT: New London fight
ENCRYPTION: HIGH

---

Greetings, comrades.

This time, we patrolled the Omega–Dublin connection, assisting Ben Warner squadrons. A brief visit to Arranmore was planned when intel from commissar Schwartz about a big target in New London was received.

Somehow comrade commissar managed to lure a bretonian battlecruiser directly into the Cumbria field, and we joined the hunt. However, our appearance did not go unnoticed, and enemy reinforcements soon began to arrive. Fortunately, one of the Sluagh Brigade ships moved in to support us. Shortly after, an additional gunboat squadron arrived on the enemy side, forcing us to fallback to the Dublin jumphole.

Arkhangelsk sustained critical damage during the engagement. Injured crew members were recovered.
