It is a good day to be in His Majesty's service!
A great victory was won today. What started out as a routine patrol left two council capital ships crippled, seemingly beyond repair.
Monsieur Leo Berlioz and I began our patrol of Burgundy all seemed well. Soon we received intel and acting on it, came across a Sirian bounty hunter praying upon EFL ships. I ordered him to cease fire, but he refused. We made short work of his clumsy Sirian "Spatial."
When we returned to our patrol, dispatch alerted us to the presence of the Council Battleship "Triumphe" , the Flagship of their fleet moving through Burgundy. I called for bomber backup as Monsieur Berlioz began firing Supernova salvos. Eugene Archambault answered the call. With two bombers and a fighter we charged the battleship. Supernova by Supernova we chipped away at his hull. The battleship was moving towards a secret base in an asteroid field and victory seemed assured, but Monsieur Archambault's fighter was hit by a stray flak burst and he was forced to eject.
Shortly thereafter a council cruiser suddenly appeared without warning and began to fire on us. We continued firing on the Battleship, but before we could deliver the killing blow, it managed to pull off an extraordinary docking maneuver and reach safety. We turned our attention to the cruiser and soon had him running. As we were about to deliver the killing blow, he employed some sort of cloaking technology and completely disappeared from our scanners.
Neither ship was destroyed, but both were severely damaged and no doubt will be in dry dock for weeks to repair all the holes Berlioz and myself punched in their hulls.
