Comrades, today, a great battle was fought between our forces and the corrupt, imperialistic dynasty that is Bretonia. Our forces consisted of me (Guang Jie), comrades Karchov, Gellantra, Sotskov, Lanakov, and our ally, Navorsky. Providing heavy support was the warship Karl Marx, commanded by comrade Thorvaldsson.
We moved our forces into Cambridge, encountering no resistance from the Corsairs, who must have been cowering in their asteroid base. Once in the system, we began educating the people on the true nature of their government.
First to encounter us was a Corsair. He approached us spouting some gibberish about "rushing". Well, he was soon rushing out of there under our firepower, the fool.
Next up, a BPA approached us and attempted to remove us. He also, was soon running for his life.
After much fumbling around the system on their part, the BAF discovered us. As we engaged their forces, so more and more ships continued to turn up and join the fray on their side.
The combined efforts of our pilots resulted in the destruction of 4 BAF vessels as well as 2 mercenaries, one of which was a gunboat. However, we steadily lost ships, picked off by the huge horde of enemies that descended upon us.
Eventually, a Bretonian battleship turned up, and, seeing we were vastly outnumbered and outgunned, comrade Thorvaldsson gave the order to withdraw, and our much reduced force headed for the Omega-5 hole. However, the Bretonians were not about to give up, and more of our ships fell to their guns. Eventually, I was the only one left to return home with the survivors in my hold. I was not there to witness the fate of the Marx, but no doubt comrade Thorvaldsson somehow managed to get it away, despite the rough odds.
We may have been bloodied in this action, but there is no doubt that we managed to sway the minds of a great many of the inhabitants of Cambridge. We can expect several more recruits to our cause in the near future.
