Comm ID: James Hobart, Commodore 7th Great Derby fleet
To: Bretonia Armed Forces HQ
Subject: Operation Cruel Professor

Weeks passed since the last supply ship reached Tau 23-31 construction site. Therefore, I ordered a fast in and out mission for a part of the Derby, and York fleets. Captain Owen was leading the clearing operation in, both, Tau 31 and Tau 23. His task group had the mission to secure space around Harris, Tau 31- Tau 23 gate, and Tau 23 construction gate site. At first, there were problems with the Colonial Forces in Tau 23. Soon, after Captain Owen's force arrived, they gathered around the station, and hostility between the two forces was imminent. But, thanks to Lt. Commander Goodmen, and his diplomatic skills, both sides agreed to retreat. We were heavily outnumbered so it was a good call. Mission Cruel Professor had to be aborted due to Colonial presence. But, things rapidly changed in a few minutes. A large Outcast battle fleet entered the Tau 23 system, and engaged the Colonials ships. I used that moment to order Captain Owen, again, to secure all paths between Leeds planet and the Tau 23 gate site, a task that his group achieved in best manners.
After the path was cleared, for the time being, I commanded Lt. Wilkies, onboard HMS Belfast to take the most needed supplies onboard, and head for the Tau 23 system.
Thanks to our brave fighters, the HMS Belfast reached Tau 23 without any problems. After that, both fighter escorts and Belfast headed back to Bretonia core space, with only a few wounded aboard the Belfast.
Pilots that took part in this operation:
Captain Blake Owen
Lt.Cdr. Goodmen
Lt. Ryan Williams
Ensigns: Bridge, Lee Adama, John Alster

Additional:

1st Recommendation for awards: The brave crew of HMS-Kent for repelling a combined Jokers/Nomad attack at Southampton that took place on the 16th of December. Our forces, which were outnumbered at the beginning of the engagement fought well, buying time for more reinforcements to arrive. There was little hope that I will save my tobacco from those pirates hands, but Kent turned the whole situation around , destroying most of the enemy gunboats, and bombers. After that, the fighter squad easily finished the remaining escort ships.

2nd Recommendation for two weeks tour for Lt. Cdr. Goodmen. Seems like he wants another medal.
