In light of Grand Admiral Manhke's disappearance, Major LeBlanc will be returned to his rank as Fleet Admiral and then promoted to Grand Admiral. Incursus's Type-MCC.. frak it, Grace, Grace Callahan, is hereby promoted to Executive Commander of the Hellfire Legion.
With the recent influx of recruits, I would like to recommend Major Aristan and Lieutenant Torrez for the position of Star Captain, but this will be left up to Star Colonel Markson.
On to the report itself, a strike group made up of the Undaunted, Abbadon, and Lieutenant Quino headed out this afternoon on a routine patrol of New York. Above Norfolk Shipyard we were detected by the LNS Bennington, a Dreadnought, Spear, a Liberty Gunboat, one primary fleet officer, George Robertson, and two LSF Agents.
The Bennington to did not engage, and myself onboard the Undaunted duked it out with the Spear, resulting in it becoming a pile of molten space debris. Under pressure from Lieutenant Quino, one of the LSF officers and the primary fleet officer were both forced to retreat.
We took no casualties and regrouped over the Badlands, then did a quiet patrol of Pennsylvania before the Abbadon and Quino headed back to Vespucci. For the moment the Undaunted is being stationed within the Helium cloud, but expect a large.. change in fleet movements, shortly.
In addition, the Abbadon and Iblis have both been outfitted with Capital mark VII 'Veil of Steel' Iridium based armor plating. Leniex's engineering division predicts this will make them 66% and 54% more effective in combat, respectively.
