Bretonian Armed Forces Defense Intelligence Staff (DIS) (iRP) (AO)

[FallenKnight]

Greetings.
I am sending my report, about the Magellan battle, that happened one day ago.
My second patrol, after the attack of |CRS| ships, had begin some hours later. I have undocked from planet New London, and contacted the bretonia forces, which were in Dublin system, doing patrol duty. They had informed me, that everything is under control so far, and no enemies have being found. The capital and the front line of Leeds were clear, so I have ordered the Lieutenant Commander Jason Charles, to continue with his patrol like I am not there, in short to continue be the leader of his operation. I have moved to Leeds system, and helped the patrols there to stop the kusari invading forces, while Charles, took his squad to Magellan system. When I was done I have docked on Derby for a quick repairs and shortly, I had found HMS-Sherwood.Forest, a dunkirk class, to cruise with destination - Magellan. I had contacted the patrol squad asking for the reasons, why would they request a heavy capital ship support, and they had informed me about "an enemy battleship". The Lt.Cdr Charles was quite frustrated about that enemy battleship, so I had decided to go there and see what is the situation. When I had arrived, I had seen them ready to open fire on the enemy ship. The commander of the patrol squad must have had his rasons to decide to open fire on the vessel and request for a battleships support. I am sorry my camera was ineffective in the Magellan's nebula field, but I got the words "Now your name is going to be destroyed that much, it wont be in one pice", in short. Reasons for this are unknown to me, so I had decided to stay on side keeping distance from the battle, and let him finish his job. I was there to support if necessary, since we heard about the high percent of the pirate activity in the system.
Whatever happened there, would had happened even if I was not there. Again I say, i dont know the true reasons for the squad leader's haste, to order an assault against that vessel. After the destruction of this battleship, a lone escort ship had arrived to lay a hand to his fallen comrade. I have decided then to engage him in a fair battle against me, since the commander Charles had ordered all ships to fire on him. As I had expected, more ships have arrived and even then we gave them an honorable fight of fair numbers. I have then ordered our bombers and battleship to return to Leeds system, since they were no longer needed. Shortly we have received some reinforcements from Leeds, more templars.
The Convoy-gunboat's presence there, was just to keep the patrol stability against enemy pirates, so it was ordered Not to engage the Hellfire Legion. Shortly, Charles's ship was taken down, since they all jumped on him. The battle agaisnt the Legion then had begun, once more of them had arrived. In my guncams, you can see, that we have pushed them harder and yet, in the end we have lost two of our ships. The navy ships have arrived, with a gunboat and some wings which engaged an outcast gunboat. I must add here, that from this moment the battle was ... chaos. I could be missing information about the battle, but in this report I will say my point of view. If there is missing data, please excuse me.
We got reports of incoming outcast gunboat, same goes for the known Indians-gang. Later in the fight, we have being engaged by another gunboat, this time a member of the Hellfire Legion. I am sorry again, I didnt took a guncam of his words, but he was pointing at BAF with the words: "Run now as the ugly....dogs you truly are...", I dont remember it quite well sirs, but it was clear they kept a hidden hatred against us. The Convoy gunboat have engaged the outcast gunboat which infiltrated in the battle, starting to shoot on us. Sadly, everyone jumped on him and he was destroyed even when he was not fighting the Legion.
After a squad separation, we have returned to Leeds, with just three losses. Even now, I ask myself, what was the real reason of all this.

Here I give you some of the guncams from the battle:
