Greetings


This is Susan Rowlett, part of the IMG Defence/Escort wing. Even though the Leggionaires have been attacking IMG mining and trading vessels for quite some months, their activity in the region the last month has been dramatically increased. It's no secret afterall, that they openly co-operate with the local Outcasts.

Analysts in Falkland believe that the latest increase in Leggionaire activity has directly to do with the agreement that IMG recently signed with the Gallic corporation called IDF. Furthermore, they started to extensively use heavier ships, which have the size of a Hydra.

Anyway.. in the latest IDF convoy, me and a gunboat named Corona moved near Reunion to get the IDF transports and safely escort them to the Taus and back to Orkney. However, near Reunion we found an Outcast Dreadnought.. one of the biggest and most fearsome vessels in their cursed fleet. I told Corona to keep the Dreadnought in check while I was calling for bomber support in the IMG channels. The opportunity to sink such beast was at least, unique.

However, the help didn't come in time so the dreadnought managed to flee - with moderate damage - and dock in an asteroid base in Orkney. Unfortunately it wasn't over. This time 3 Leggionaire gunships attacked the lone Corona and managed to destroy it. The answer was instant and painful. One IMG bomber and 2 IDF bombers/escorts attacked the gunships with my assistance. Here is how the Legionnaire gunships look like. Unique design, heavy firepower.

However, they didn't last for much time. With the cost of one IMG escort the Leggionaire gunships were destroyed !

After we collected the survivors we called the IDF transports to pass through the minefield and move to Tau-23. Fortunately, noone else came to disrupt us and I finished my duty while having some tea onboard Reunion. Today I returned to Java along with another IMG escort to resume patrol/escort duties. That is all for now.
