This is the audio log of sous-Lieutenant [color=#33FF33]Salomon Christophe reporting from Battleship Castres as chief officer aboard the RNS-Charlemagne. First I'd like to express my satisfaction with the Perilous class gun boat, as the designers of Gallia are certainly the finest. Today's patrol was marked by 3 events:
The First event occurred in the Tau-23 system. A potential recruit, by the name of Inego, and I were assigned to a fighter patrol in the system and upon reaching the Java Station area, Outcast targets were identified. With the help of nearly an entire fleet of IMG fighters, the two Outcasts were routed to Tau-37 and pursuit was not given. The two outcasts have been identified as [XTF]Phoenix[R] and MNS-Beliago. The IMG support was greatly helpful and they should be noted for their cooperation.
The second event occured in Tau-31 during a patrol aboard the RNS-Charlemagne. A Bounty Hunter Battleship by the name of BHG|Minerva was passing through the system, and upon detection I ordered the ship out of the area. The Captain of the Minerva obliged and left via the Leeds jumpgate. I would be interested to know what a Bounty Hunter Battleship was doing in Gallic space. I surmise that the Bounty Hunter ship was hired by Bretonia to bolster their defense in Leeds.
The third and final event in the report also occurred in the Tau-31 system. Two hostile targets were identified as one Bretonian Battleship named HMS-Enterprise and one Bounty Hunter gunboat by the name of JonnyBravo[37]. A nearby freelancer by the name of Sang_Royal responded quickly and offered his help. It should be noted that the term freelancer does not well describe this person of interest, as Sang Royal is a Valor class Battleship. How he got the connections to attain such hardware is beyond me, but his help was certainly welcomed. As I engaged JonnyBravo[37], Sang Royal engaged the Bretonian battleship. I was sufficiently equipped to deal with the gunboat and dispatched him with limited damage to the Charlemagne. Communication with the Sang Royal ended soon thereafter and its fate is unknown to me. I have heard rumours recently that it was severely crippled after destroying multiple Bretonian targets including the HMS-Argosax. If this is so, may the crew be remembered for their sacrifice to Gallia. Video data of the engagement with the Bounty Hunter gunboat will be included in my full report. For the King and for Gallia, we fight. End audio log.
