[COMMENCEZ LE PLAYBACK]

This is Margrave Blaise Mersenne, submitting an action report for the 10th of Janvier, 734 A.G.S.

I had started my patrol out of Dijon Station with plans to fly through Dauphine and Lorraine, before returning back. Flight logs indicated that monsieur Archambault also departed earlier, and I transmitted a request for a secure frequency. His acknowledgment came shortly, with a short greeting and a dire message: on his way through Dauphine, monsieur Archambault was set upon by a pair of Council pilots. I wasted no time in transiting to Dauphine to assist monsieur Archambault.
After arriving in Dauphine, my sensors immediately detected monsieur Archambault's location 18 klicks south-southwest from the jump gate. As I drew closer my Serval picked up the IFF of one Council pilot, the other had left between the time I made contact with monsieur Archambault and my arrival into Dauphine. Monsieur Archambault's Lynx had sustained damage and though I insisted on providing aid, he wished to challenge the Council pilot alone. Honoring his desire, I maintained a distance of 2.5 klicks from the pilots and let the fight commence. Monsieur Archambault held his ground fast, but the damage his fighter had already sustained prevented him from operating at his full capacity; he was forced to withdraw from the fight. I stepped up next to accept the Council's challenge for single combat, sharing half of my regenerative supplies with the pilot in respect to codes of conduct. Without wasting much time thereafter, the battle commenced; within roughly one minute, the Council pilot was subdued.
With business in Dauphine concluded, I returned to Burgundy and plotted a course to Dijon Station. No more than five minutes into my flight, another Council pilot had stated his presence in the system; this pilot was most likely the associate of the other one. Wishing to see this nonsense end, I moved beyond the transit lanes and transmitted my position. The Council pilot arrived shortly, and little dialogue was wasted before the fighting commenced. This one lasted two minutes longer and, with a well-timed disruptor round, the Council pilot was hoisted with his own petard.
After confirming the all-clear with the inter-system sensor network, I returned to Dijon Station and compiled this report.

Confirmed contact list:




Analysis: There is nothing of tactical significance identified from this encounter.


Conclusion: After completing this flight, it is imperative that His Majesty's Royal Navy increase patrol frequencies throughout His Territories. Unhindered Council flights may give rise to more serious issues in the long-term, risks that cannot be allowed to occur.

To the best of my abilities, I claim the contents to be truthful and accurate.

By my hand and eye,
