*distant voices* is this transmitting? ah, good. Right. *cough*

Commander Graham Harper here, HMS Steadfast. I wish to report a great and glorious victory over the assembled Corsair Fleets in Omega 3. Seeing the assembling of the Corsair Gunboat Fleet in Omega 3 that has been threatening Bretonia for over a week now, I gathered what forces I could in Cambridge ready to face them. 2 corsair scout parties engaged us in Cambridge and all 4 ships were destroyed, with light losses on our side. By now the corsairs in Omega 3 had 5 gunboats and numerous fighters and bombers, with a pair of bounty hunters trapped in the no-fire zone round Freeport 1. Recognising the threat we faced, I reqeusted support from Rheinland, who dispateched a RM strike team to support us. Meanwhile we had been greatly reinforced with the arrival of 2 more destroyers and the HMS-Rodney, so I ordered our sizeable fleet to move into Omega 3 to await the Rhienlanders.

Unfortunately, the Corsairs had learned of our plans somehow and laid an ambush on the other side of Jump Gate into which our fleet flew headfirst. Rallying ourselves magnificently, we quickly gained the upper hand, with the HMS-Rodney and our bomber wing blasting away the Corsair Gunboats one by one. Finally the Rhienlanders arrived just as the last corsair fighters were shot down, leaving us in full control of the systems. We maintained a defensive presence in Omega 3, defeating several other corsair counterattacks, and making our victory complete.

In total more than a dozen corsair ships were destroyed, with over half of them being gunbats. Where these corsair gunboats keep coming from I do not know, but our victory today shows that we are well equipt to defeat them all. Jolly good show and all that,

Harper out.
