Right, this is regarding the maiden voyage of the BES Mountbatten, Golf 12-9. This is the latest of the 'Exploration' class Percheron's to be commissioned. The ship was baptised after our new Prime Minister, in recognition of his victory in the House of Lords over Prime Minister Worthington. I thought it oddly symbolic - as Lord Mountbatten pushes back Bretonia's boundaries in the realm of politics, his namesake will be expanding Bretonia's physical realm out in the edgeworlds.

This beauty rolled out of Scarbourgh but three weeks ago and has just had it's crew of seven taken on. I was given command after serving as a co pilot on Mr. Maloney's beloved Bramall.

From Scarborough, the Mountbatten was piloted down to Cambridge where we took on three experts in astrophysics and geography that had signed on from the University. One of them is also acting as a delegation from BMM so they can file claims for any exploitable mineral fields they come across.

From Cambridge we RVed with Mr. Farbridge who was to fly escort with us to the Bretonian outpost located furthest into the Taus - the Tau 31 Construction Site. Outside Planet Cambridge Lieutenant Carter of the BAF also agreed to help protect our convoy.

The journey passed without incident until we hit Tau 31 itself, where we had a close call with a wing of KNF Dragons. After that, I jumped to Tau 23 and Mr. Farbridge and Lt. Carter headed back to Bretonian Core space. I believe Mr. Farbridge was headed to another Bowex convoy.

After I'd signed in with BMM management on the construction site, we proceeded to trial some of the equipment by probing one of the areas some of the miners claimed had been emitting unusual amounts of radiation in the north-west segments of the system. So far we've come up with nothing, although there is debate among our 'experts' about the possibility of a 'jump hole' phenomenon at cause due to some unusual magnetic readings we've been receiving.

That's all for now.
