Notes:Decent fighting abilities, lacks bomber skills, mentally unstable when it comes to <strike>Nomads</strike>. Also has command of the gunboat "HMS Iorn". Follows orders well.

Armed Forces Ensign Review and Recommendations

Ensign Martin Bridge
Identify Friend/Foe Alignment: Bretonian Armed Forces
Identification Card: Bretonian Armed Forces
Ships: B-1260 Series "Paladin" Heavy Fighter


Notes: Still learning the ropes, but shows great potential. Plenty of other Ensigns see him as a leader. From what I've noticed.

He has my recommendation for promotion to Lieutenant.

Ensign Alex Westbrook
Identify Friend/Foe Alignment: Bretonian Armed Forces
Identification Card: Bretonian Armed Forces
Ships: B-1290 "Templar" Fighter, B-3000 "Challenger" Bomber

Notes: Haven't experienced much flight time with this lad. However when he's on duty he doesn't ask questions and is down right to the job. I have reason to believe he's a decent bomber pilot as well.

I'm considering giving him my recommendation on being promoted to Lieutenant.

Ensign Robert Woodrow
Identify Friend/Foe Alignment: Bretonian Armed Forces
Identification Card: Bretonian Armed Forces
Ships: B-1290 "Templar" Fighter


Notes: The lad can hold himself in battle, that's for sure. In fact he's proven himself worth countless times, and has even engaged, and destroyed a few enemies of the crown.

No recommendations, as of yet. He just joined.

Combat exercise training in Sailsbury, fighters, bombers, gunboats versus the Invictus. Combat exercise included Anti-Capital ship training, and Anti-Bomber/Fighter for the Gunnery crew of the Invictus.

Notes: Gunnery Crews are getting a lot better at dealing with Bombers and Fighters. The crew manning gun position number 4, have been getting better at aiming for hostiles.

Report #A00-02 -- Lieutenant Commander Austin Goodmen

Bounty Hunter Guild Destroyer, Independent one at that, entered Bretonia without our knowledge. After kindly escorting it to the nearby shipyard, Southampton, we proceeded to let the captain (A Mister Dwane Chapman) repair his vessel. After his vessel was repaired, I brought the Invictus back around to escort him out of Bretonian space.

Once the vessel was in Dublin, he began to open fire on a couple of our boys. My crew and I were in Leeds at the time trying to sort through the mess happening over the communications channel. Once we shifted through the priorities, I had the course set for Dublin. Upon arriving in Dublin, the Bounty Hunter was indeed engaged in combat with our pilots.

During the engagement the HMS-Nestor came to lend a hand.

Ship Class: Bretonian Gunboat

Commanding Officer(s): Varies
Commanding Officer of Report: Lieutenant Commander Austin Goodmen

Report #B00-01 -- Lieutenant Commander Austin Goodmen

I took command of the Wellesley, for a simple trade interception day. However, it turned out to be a rather long day in the commanders chair of the Wellesley.

Beginning the day, an hour or so after lift off we received a hail from an Outcast Gunboat, requesting someone to come pick up some military vehicles, a Transport more or less. I told the navigations officer to put us in full towards the Stokes lane, with Ensign Woodrow in tow.

Shortly after we arrived on the scene, and the Outcasts attempted to flee. We managed to trick their bomber into leaving their gunboat out in the open, which we quickly dispatched of, seen here.

A bit after that, the Gunboats escort came towards us, then started to flee upwards. We gave chase about 200 clicks out from literally everything, before the outcast finally came to his senses and demanded a fight against the Wellesley. I ordered Ensign Woodrow to hold position, I also gave him strict orders that if the Wellesley's shields were to go down, to engage.

The Outcast, never managed to get this fine vessels shields down, until the very end. Where the outcast attempted to do a 'suicide' run into the vessel. No damage was done to the hull.

Report #B00-02 -- Lieutenant Commander Austin Goodmen

Continuing on with the day. About three or four hours later, from the last engagement. Our lads were setting up bombers in Sailsbury, while I was heading that way myself in the Wellesley, we ran across a Corsair Gunboat "Ell-Morro". Who, to my surprise and amusement, attempted to pirate us.

Obviously we refused, and I hailed to get bomber support, just in case. Bomber support came a bit to slow and well, the Corsair bit the dust. The Wellesley didn't take any damage to her hull.

No cash for you. Not from us anyways.

Report #B00-03 -- Lieutenant Commander Austin Goodmen

Somewhere down the road, we were sent to escort the HMS-Bristol to Tau-31 and Tau-23. We met up with a flight of Commonwealth Maltans. Our boys were a bit jumpy around the Maltans, due to having fighting to fight, Outcasts. However, they held fast and kept their wits about them.

Report #B00-04 -- Lieutenant Commander Austin Goodmen

Probably the most interesting part of my day.

I was hailed by a group known as the SMC, I do not know what that stands for but I do know that they're a bunch of Bretonian Miners. They were requesting escort to Rheinland. Naturally, we told them our escorts could only go as far as the Omega-7 gate.

The escort out of Bretonian proper was fine, until Lieutenant Ryan Williams, Ensign Lawrence Winter, and Ensign Robert Woodrow, encountered our lovely "Ell-Morro" who was recently destroyed, twice, in Bretonia. Seems Corsairs can rebuild their ships quickly.

Anyways, I moved from my position in Leeds to help escort the miner convoy. Once I got there, the Gunboat was destroyed, however, reappeared again which was bloody annoying none-the-less. Taking up a defensive perimeter around the convoy, we managed to scare off the Corsair for a bit until it followed us to the Omega-7 gate, and wouldn't leave.

I thought it was in our best interest to have the Armed Forces escort the Miner group further into the Omega's. A passing by Rheinland trader said it would be best to just escort the miner convoy to the Stuttgart gate, which I agreed would be the proper action. As no Military unit was able to assist us at the moment. Though, I did attempt to contact the Rheinland Government prior to jumping. Miners get ancy easily.

Upon jumping to Omega-7, however, we encountered yet another Corsair, this time in a lone fighter. Not wanting to take the risk because civilians were involved. I proceeded to escort them into Rheinland proper. Yes, you heard right. The Wellesley, and Three Templars went into Rheinland space, escorting civilian miners.

Thankfully it was long before the Rheinland Military responded. Upon our arrival, I was contacted by Admiral Malte. Who gave us clearance to carry on past the border station. We proceeded and held orbit around planet Stuttgart. Within a few minutes, Rheinland Military ships were in the area, not just one but about six. I honestly thought they were going to open fire on us. However, their Admiral shortly appeared and I turned over the escort operation to the Rheinland Military.

While waiting in Stuttgart to escort the Mining convoy back into Bretonia, I held an interesting chat with Admiral Malte. She's wanting to set up a better agreement for both the Rheinland Military and Armed Forces to patrol both the Omega systems. Joint operations in both Omega-3 and Omega-7. As in, Rheinland Fighters flying by Bretonian Fighters. Which, Admiral, if you're reading this, I'd like to suggest that you take some interest in it. As Rheinland seems to be having problems in the Omega sector.

She also wishes to speak to you about the Mandalorian Mercenaries, apparently they're launching attacks out from Bretonia.

I'm also happy to report that the BMM Mining convoy made it safely to their destination under the joint operation of the Armed Forces and Rheinland Military.
