Today I made contact with a Sirian Explorer Vessel designated 'Flinders'. After tracking the transmission to its source, I was able to visually comfirm the target. The design of the ship indicted that it originated from the 'Kusari', though I was not able to ascertain the origins of the crew or its captain. After briefly communicating with we the captain implied His Majesty's Navy was 'yellowbellied', and I proceeded to engage the target, inflicting significant damage. The ship began to flee after I had gained the advantage, his cowardice displayed for all to see.
As I watched the ship from a distance I began noticed erratic behavior in its flight path. Perhaps due to damage from the fight, though I do not wish to speculate. Shortly after it appears that the ship crashed into the Le Creusot. When I arrived at the planet I could find no evidence of wreckage, leading me to believe the ship may still be at large in Gallia.
What did Captain mean by 'Yellowbellied'? I'm lead to believe it is some form of insult.
Later in my patrol I encountered a Council transport, Commercant, and its escort, Pierre Reims, pass relatively close to the Beuvray. I engaged the tradelane to intercept the transport, but without any means to stop it progress, I only able to scan the contents of transport.
The Council are begging for scraps from the Sirian's tables. Our pressure is indeed paying off, but it is troubling to think of what else they may bring into Gallia if we dont stop shipments like this.
