The Clydesdale Brigade

[jammi]

The Clydesdale Brigade was created by Flight Instructor Andrew Peterson as an internal wing that straddles the divide between the Trade Combine and ExSec. Frequently spotted plying the trade lanes between Liberty and Bretonia, the Brigade has been working hard to earn itself a reputation with the criminal underworld of both Houses. More than one incredulous and startled pirate has fallen to these mighty freighter's guns.

Hullo gents!

A time of change is upon us. A time of turmoil too! Kusari has occupied the attentions of Her Majesty's Armed Forces, leaving a gulf in our great House's internal security. Pirates have stepped in and pressed their advantage, stressing the BPA to breaking point. Hardly a desirable situation, wouldn't you agree?

But these pirates, scoundrels, scoffalaws and ne'er-do-wells have grown complacent and lax. They believe they can get away with theft, thuggery, buggery and murder, sans retaliation. We, gentlemen, are here to prove them wrong. Very wrong indeed.

By merit of your... particular skills, you have been issued a combat variant Clydesdale freighter. In the coming days of strife, your B-27-E will become an extension of your own self - a weapon to be utilised against the forces of darkness that assail us - and that is not the bloody Zoners, Mr Bellock!

My noble compatriots, your mission is simple: let no mortal man still the lifeblood of Bretonia - commerce. You are to sell your services as scouts and escorts of expertise. You are to aid and assist the forces of the Queen as the situation demands it. You are to shuttle cargo as our Combine brethren do. You are to 'proactively defend' yourself and thus bring low the nefarious agents of evil that harry us.

Use the element of surprise to your advantage. There is no more satisfying a sight in the known cosmos than witnessing the death of a pirate who believes he has found his meal-ticket. Deny the enemy his satisfaction, my friends. We'll make the bastard's eyes water! Now, get out there and bring back the fire from the stars! Carina, Regina, Imperatrix!
