Action Report

To: The Admiralty
From: Captain Mainwaring

Sirs

Myself (in the Gunboat Warspite) Captain Nelson and a Mandalore went into Dublin space to tackle a MR vessel seen there.

We couldn't make any contact, so we began to patrol towards The Hood, looking for contacts. The Mandalore moved down towards the O-49 Jump hole to search.

We were first engaged by a Gunboat (the Galway) and a bomber. However, I made a complete hash of the engagement by allowing myself to be drawn into the dangerous asteroid and mine field in that region. I found myself unable to maneuver, beset by the non-elite ships that turned up, mines exploding and asteroid collisions. Another GB (Stanley Grainne) that joined in proved too much and my ship was so badly damaged that I, and my crew evacuated.

As far as I know, the second gunboat downed Captain Nelson, the Mandalore was brought down by the Galway.

This was a clear breaking of standard regulations governing the use of cap ships ie: Do not enter asteroid fields to engage unless forced to. I take full responsibility for this decision.


I await your judgement


Captain Aubrey Mainwaring
