Yet again the Council have seen the error of their ways.
They saw fit to attack a lone Cougar class Bomber on patrol in the Burgundy system, piloted by Monsieur Aubert Giroux, with a force consisting of two Cruisers. While they were able to do moderate damage to his ship, he called for re-enforcements, to which I answered with the Acre.
How they were able to get two such ships so close to the Trade Lanes is puzzling indeed. However, once the Acre arrived at the scene to support Monsieur Giroux, the battle was swift.
Although one of the ships attempted to flee, the guns of the Acre were more than a match for them, and we were able to keep pace long enough to destroy both of them. Visual records of the battle are as follows...
[color=#FFFFFF]As the Cruisers went down, I ordered any pods found not to be destroyed, as, in recent battles, we have perhaps passed over the opportunity to gain valuable intelligence from prisoners, who are often killed on sight. And I fear perhaps that some of the Kings men may not be sufficiently stalwart in holding to the tenets of honour and chivalry. In respect of this, all the prisoners we could find are being held aboard Dijon awaiting interrogation and trial.
Other than that, once we had gathered all prisoners, both Council and Naval, from the battlefield, we returned to Dijon, for re-fuelling and re-arming, as at no point were the shields of the Acre breeched.
