Day 1 (Bretonia Space, Leeds system)
James walked into his office glancing around as if he is searching for someone. He sat into his big leather chair and relaxed a bit. Hard week behind him flashed through his eyes tossing him in some kind of trans. Headaches were slowly stopping, due to medication or he finally experienced a change of personality. Lets finish this...He said while starting to dictate his report
First day began like usual, but due to stop of my headaches my mood has gone up drastically. While doing my routine patrol through Leeds system, my scanners picked up a familiar and "friendly" ship. But my experience told me otherwise, fact that he flew in a pirate transport outside of regular trade routes forced me to intercept. Unfortunately I was right, my scanner picked up 4000 units of counterfeit software. Ships captain off course refused to eject the goods, and later even attempted to kill me. I was surprised with this act of aggressiveness but I was surprised more with the explosion of the same ship. All goods and the captain were sadly destroyed. That was my first encounter for that day. Hours later my commanding officer redeployed me to New London system to investigate recent Corsair activity. As usual Praetorian and gunboat corsairs class ships decided to have a "picnic" in London. Traders reported their presence near Southampton. They were found, but I myself had slim chances of defeating them, my prime objective was to survive until my reinforcement arrives. After some time Rodney Trotter once again came to my aid and both of corsairs were destroyed shortly after.

Day 2 (Bretonia space, Cambridge system)
It was a quiet and calm day In Cambridge; well at least it seemed so until someone reported a corsair presence in Omega 3. I myself do not have anything against honest working corsairs, but this one was racketeering there and I had to put an end to it. He was a reckless one and was found and destroyed immediately, restoring peace and clearing the trader routes between Rheinland and Bretonia. But Corsair infestation continued. Upon my return to Cambridge I got a distress call from our defenses, four corsairs tried to breach our defense perimeter. Mr. Owen, HMS - Tartar and I immediately set course on intercept. Due to Tartars size and terrain sort to say we were outnumbered at first. But situation got even worse with destruction of Owens ship, but to my luck bounty hunter Herr Lt.Grubber came to my aid. He earned his bread by destroying three corsairs and fourth one was shot down by HMS - Tartar.

Day 3
Something was wrong today, all connections with Rheinland space were interrupted and we were dispatched to investigate. Discovery was amazing yet terrifying. 8 corsairs ships in their "Full glory" were extorting money. We immediately engaged them and it was an even and bloody fight that lasted for hours but in the end we came out victorious. Our only losses were two templar class ships but both of the pilots survived. This all couldnt be done off course without valuable help of HMS-Rodney. Afterwards we stationed some of our patrols in Omega 3 to prevent the possible future threats and reestablish the traffic between Rheinland and Bretonia. But Corsairs didnt gave up, s corsair gunboats were sighted near Cambridge, thanks to our previous assembled patrols four challenger class ships were dispatched immediately to deal with this new threat. We cleaned the Cambridge of corsair infestation once more establishing peace in Bretonia. Later that same day Gaian pilot tried his luck against us. It was a she by the name Nastarum. At first it seemed we had everything under control but her skills were obviously greater then ours so she managed to make some new holes in my Templar. It could have been worse and later that day I regretted my own words. Wilde entered Cambridge system. Due to our inexperience with the infected ones we carefully surrounded their ships, two of them to be exact. Our lads were captured in their cargo, and they were willing to release them for some kind of artifact that is supposedly located on Cambridge but our policy forbade us to negotiate with possible threats so we with sadness decided to destroy the infected. I came home exhausted and happy to be alive, one more bad memory carved into my memory.

Day 4
Early in the morning I encountered a gunboat, captain of that ship was already known to Bretonia authorities by his stench and aggressive behavior. He was located in Edinburgh system and after long chase Ens. Carter spotted the target. More ships came to Carters aid including a bounty hunter which once again earned his bread. Later that day I ran upon a smuggler also know as OTC Counterfietcarlos who tried to transport stolen gold to his Crete. We off course couldnt let that happen so we destroyed his vessel.
Later that day hacker battle**** was intercepted in London system, and I am not making this up. We gave him opportunity to leave Bretonia but captain refused, and by that act he signed his death wish. Lt.Cdr. Simon Aldwyna, Ens. Carter and I destroyed it with no prejudice.

Day 5
Today few corsairs were sighted near Trafalgar base. It was time for some revenge, for they have annoyed us long enough. They had one cruiser two Titan and one Praetorian class ship in their possession. But our skills were unmatched for them and they slowly died one by one. Our losses were minimal and once again we survived. I bring you more happy news, OTC LosCorruptos was finally caught. This time he paid for all his illegal activities after which he promised he will stay out of Bretonia space .We all hope he will respect what he promised.

Capt. Nelson was finally located after 2 months of captivity in one of Kusari camps. Bretonia Forces organized two wings for his escape, one in which I was to make a diversion so the other one could save our Captain from imprisonment. At first sight our diversion group looked like it could run over everyone we stumbled upon and we were right. Kusarian forces had to retreat and our diversion was effective. Captain Nelson retuned in one piece to Bretonia. But while our fleet was in Kusari space, Corsair scum used this opportunity and attacked bretonia with massive fleet. But their ego got to them and every each one of them was destroyed.

Day 6
While doing a routine patrol in Tau systems we discovered a Kusari Naval Forces bomber. It was either me or him and in the end with luck I was the one that survived.
Smuggler SEUR was caught while transporting Counterfeit software, and after long time of persuading him to eject the cargo, Ens. Carter and I had to destroy him.
Later that day, Molly was sighted in Dublin system, well actually he sighted me. After two hours of fight he was finally killed. Many more pilots tried to destroy our way of living I will mention only few of them. Gaian named Destructor, Two Corsairs gunboats, two titans and one praetorian, Mercenary. All of them tried but neither one succeeded.

Day 7
Day started as usual, routine patrols but no encounters. I thought maybe they took some time off, but I was wrong. While eating cookies and drinking tea in my bomber Communist entered the system. Mandalorian mercenaries already engaged him and I made haste to help them. But soon as I arrived he changed his target to me. Both of our shields were down, it was all about aim now. We activated most powerful weapon on our bombers, but he had a tactic. SNAC from both ships cut the space while traveling towards our bombers, but just before it hit him he somehow powered his shield up and survived while I had to eject. But time was precious; Mercenaries transported me to planet where I acquired new ship to deal with the Kusari threat. Naval Forces gunboat captain decided to attack me. . Odds were against me but somehow I managed to destroy that ship along with his crazy captain. With this I end my weekly report. Long live the Queen!!!

James Hobart.
