Subject: Activity report

A lot of things happened last week, aside from routine patrols and engagements with Corsairs everywhere, but thats not the subject I want to report exactly. Many of us surely noticed rising numbers of enemy capital ships in Bretonia space.
At the start of the week, me and Sir Commodore Stanley Nelson encountered two Gaian ships. As long as they were sitting near Islay doing nothing (or maybe eating some grass), Sir Nelson was monitoring the situation from Leeds jump gate in Edinburgh. I was on my way there to help a bit with patrolling the area, when suddenly our scanners showed that Gaian ships changed their location to Dublin. We chased them into the system and began system-wide search. I found them soon, in asteroid field near Hood. I had orders no to engage, as they were two, but I got closer to scan their ships. I was surprised from what I saw. One of them was flying Kusari gunboat. I called Commodore to come. We both had Challengers, but we werent looking forward to fight, so Nelson ordered hippies to leave. They agreed and changed their course to Edinburgh hole. We escorted them along the way. When questioned, they said that they stole the gunboat from Kusari. Personally, I dont believe it.


Later at the same week, some days ago, I was reading newspaper at Norfolk and drinking some tea, when suddenly Norfolk commander alarmed whole crew. Something big was approaching the battleship.
I jumped into my Challenger without hesitation and established comms with Lieutentant Commander Hobart.
A fleet of Corsair gunboats and one Osiris, with Gaian Talarcas jumped into Cambridge to attack Bretonia. They were already near Norfolk. We quickly assembled formidable force, with help from ASF and other bounty hunters. After few minutes of organized bomber attacks, we dispatched their ships one by one, with almost no losses. My bomber received heavy damage and I was forced to emergency landing. Because of that, all records from my ship camera were lost.

At the end of the week, we had two encounters in one day. First was in early afternoon, when we chased down Molly bomber. He tricked us and got trough Newcastle to Tau 31, and from here trough Edinburgh to Dublin. He picked up one of his friends in Gunboat along the way somewhere. Thanks to help of one freelancer, we found them both quickly. As soon as our force engaged them, barghest ran to Arranmore, and gunboat was quickly destroyed without any losses on our side. Again, I forgot to turn on my camera, so no visual report on this one.
Later that afternoon, when me and one of our new Ensigns Jack Harkness were training in Salisbury, we received alert message about lonely Kusari Destroyer in Leeds. We quickly moved there, but it already jumped to Tau 31. Fortunately, two freelancers (probably seeking bounty contracts) stalled him there for us, and we moved in. With force of two bombers and three fighters it was completely destroyed. These two freelancers were unfortunately gunned down, we caught their pods and delivered them safely back to Bretonia, with our thanks for helping in keeping Bretonia safe.


Here comes the end of my report. I want to point at rising forces of enemy capital ships, which shouldnt be underestimated. Anyway, I donated 20 millions to our armory, to help setting up bombers for our new recruits, to deal with constant capital ship threat. Some of them lack them at the moment.

Ending report, safe flight.
For the Queen!
