The BMM sent a report of a robbery. They've been mining for the King's Cross Station as the pirate showed up. With the loss of a Titanic and around 5000 units of Berylium Ore, the Hegemon vessel made it back to the station and another miner attacked the pirate vessel, which appears to be a Gallic Junker, named 'Polemarch'. With some hull demage he made use of his cloaking device to escape with the stolen goods and as the Intel reports, he brought it to Rheinland.
Later I supported the BAF with a Gaian Gunboat at the New London Jumpgate, called 'Piszuka' in Cambridge, who didn't wanted to leave the spot next to the Jumpgate. There was a chance that this individual shot at King's Cross Station. But as it happens in life, the pirate, who robbed the BMM uncloaked next to the gate. I warned him, to not leave and talk about the consequences, but he made use of his cloaking device again and left probably in direction to the Cardiff Station. The joined group of BAF and BIS started the search. Our scanners detected him a while ago in Leeds system. Being warned and the squad prepared to 'kill on sight' we went to LD-14 station, because the chance to find fuel for his cloaking device was hight and even a Jumphole to Edinburgh was close. Our sensors didn't detected him in Edinburgh or the Tau's after it disappeared in Leeds. He was warned and told to stand the consequences about the robbery on the BMM, but he ran and felt safe in his cover. The Informations on him are still low, but with the murder on BMM-Hull and the robbery of 5000 units of Ore and an explicit warning, he might be 'killed on sight' the next time he appears in bretonian Spcae.
After that incident there were 2 Corsair Gunboats in Cambridge. Lt.J.Barnes from the BAF attacked one them, called 'Hellish.Privateer', but sadly he lost the fight, but after MM~Kraken destroyed the Gunboat his pod got rescued. My turn was on the other gunboat 'El_Negociador'. Sadly I just got down his shield, but never landed a SNAC shot on the blank hull. After MM~Kraken came to help out, the gunboat was an easy target and the fight was won without any real threat anymore.
After these attacks it was quiet again in the system and I returned to New London Planet to refuel and repair my ship. With that I ended my day...
I heard already some rumor about one of the 13th|HMS capital ships renegade to the Mollys, but today I saw it myself. I was on a spy-trip in Edinburgh, to see if something has changed, then I saw a 13th|HMS Bretonia Battleship on my scanners. I saw my biggest chance to meet it at the 13th| Outpost and the time I arrived I just saw it undocking from the Station. I clearly saw the Molly-IFF, the 13th|HMS-tag and after a scan even the Bretonia Armed Forces ID. Also it is equipped with 3 Missle Turrets and an advanced Cloaking Module, but no Mortar. Now either the 13th| fleet works together with Mollys, or the Mollys work together with the Gallics, but that's not part of my job. Known as the 'sneaky' I followed the Battleship "13th|HMS-Vanguard", which was on course to the Dublin Jumphole. The Captain seemed to be a rookie or he got a new weapons system, because he fired a huge amount of times into empty space, for reasons which are unknown to me.
Later in the Dublin system the Battleship took course to the Molly station Arranmore in the Molly field. The captain stopped the ship next to the base and had a small chat with one of the Mollys around the station. The Molly seemed confused himself to see a Molly Bretonia Battleship, but the Captain of the Battleship made him clear, that he doesn't work for the Armed Forces anymore. Then I decided that I saw enough, I started my journey back to safe space. Interrupted by a Reaver, I still made it to Planet Leeds
Here the raw Intel:
I may add this raw statement of the Captain of the "13th|HMS-Vanguard"
Major Thomas Ashdown and I managed to enter Gallia unnoticed in our fighter craft recently to do a little reconnaissance work regarding how to plan a strike and where it could be launched from. We began in the Languedoc system, and were able to fly relatively close to their trade lane system without detection. It may be that they did not detect us, or that they are simply not worried with unidentified fighter craft. This arrogance may be something we can exploit.
We approached the Gallic jump gate to the Dauphine system, but it was guarded by a Valor-class battleship, and an approach would therefore be far too risky. Instead, Major Ashdown took me toward a jumphole into Dauphine, and on the way we documented a Gallic Brigand asteroid base in 2E/F known as Narbonne Base. It doesn't appear capable to house a strike force, but the Brigands here could certainly be useful for gathering fairly up-to-date intelligence of Navy movements.
We then entered the hole to Dauphine, emerging in some sort of cloud covering part of the southern region of the system. Emerging from this cloud, we located what must be the corresponding jump gate from the one in the Launguedoc system. It too was guarded by a Valor. We are clearly going to have our movements restricted to jump holes only. There will be no sneaking through the gates.
The Major then led me to the Provence jumphole from Dauphine, where we again emerged in some sort of cloud. There is a small planet here (the outline of which can be barely seen in the right side of this photo) extremely close to the jump hole. If we are to bring any large vessels, extreme caution is advised using this route.
In the Provence system we encountered two bases that could be of more use than Narbonne. The first was a Unione Corse based called Monaco Base. Just from first glance, Monaco looks much more capable of helping to house an actual strike force while it is prepared. I would certainly advise developing stronger relationships with the Unione Corse, and it is likely they could be easily motivated by profit.
The second base in Provence was a Gallic Junker base, Monte Carlo Freeport. I am unsure, however, whether these Gallic Junkers, who for so long served the Gallic Crown as spies, would be at all willing to assist in its destruction. Monaco still looks like our best bet.
It is at this point that the Major and I received word that the Gallic Police had become aware of our presence, and that we could not take the same route back that we used to get in. Instead, we entered an asteroid field in the Provence system where we found a jumphole to Corse, a system that is entirely desolate except for a single, small Unione Corse outpost. From Corse we were able to get back to Languedoc, but officers were waiting for us there. We split up and eventually shook them, the Major making it to Orkney in a matter of moments and I some time later, when I lost the Police gunboat that was chasing me.
We learned from this trip that Gallia is certainly not invincible, having evaded detection for the majority of our visit, and that the local dissenters seem to have facilities capable of helping us. Stronger relations with any Gallic unlawfuls should probably be pursued.

'Ello everyone, This is Director Anne Ashers from GCHQ.
First I'll report that my crew and I are currently behind enemy lines and have been ever since our little excursion to northern Gallia a little over a week ago. From that trip we are here to report possibly targets for infiltration by MI6 agents, mainly a modular station at these locations.

We have a few other photos from the journey but we have deemed them unfit for intelligence use.
As our my duties as the director of the GC I will also be updating the official status of different individuals we have come across
GREEN STATUS: NONE
WHITE: All (SolaR tagged ships should be followed while entering Bretonian space, They do not appear to be hostile to Bretonian lawful forces but it is there unusual cargo we are after, If possible retrieve anything of interest they come across [EVIDENCE]
The ship called GaLic_FootbaLL should be stopped if it tries to enter Bretonian space again as the pilot was flying an illegal ship before it landed somewhere on Planet Leeds. The pilot does not appear to be hostile in nature but he must be questioned for any knowledge he posses. [EVIDENCE][EVIDENCE]
RED: Lastly we've encountered a group of rouges tagged [RAF], which includes a cruiser, entering the core worlds of Bretonia where they attack Innocent civilians. They have been seen entering New London. All forces are here by advised to hunt this group down till they are pushed back out of Bretonia, I would suggest working with our Liberty allies on a way to completely destroy this menace from their side as well.
[font=Courier New]Good afternoon sirs and m'ams. 2nd Lieutenant Thomas "Tom" Murray reporting in for duty. Today, me and 2nd Lt Shelton, around 18 Sirius hour we had an encounter with 2 Gallic Royal Navy units, 2 Cougar bombers to be more specific. It seems they were trying to block the cargo supplies for Stokes Mining Station, hanging around into a 10k perimeter to our closest assets. We went in to clean up the problem and it wasn't a really difficult thing to solve in our Templars. It seems that one of the gallics was part of their intelligence service but we failed to capture her, the escape pod being thrown well away from the place where to bomber exploded.
I made a step further in my work around the illegal installation in Dublin, so called "Goldern Coin".
A new target has been found. Silent.Supplier was seen activly supplying the base with Industrial Material this morning
and we can make a step further in our work around the base "Goldern Coin".
He got my attention a while ago for entering Dublin system with important material needed in the instalation, but he was clever and got his cargo delivered around a few corners
what made my work a lot harder. But this morning he seemed to be a little next to himself. I met him in Leeds by accident, I was acually on the way to New London planet to get another patrol report finished.
But seeing him again with Industrial Material made me think and I changed my route.
Just a few moments later I made the lucky catch and made a few nice shots of him docking on the installation "Goldern Coin"
[font=Courier New] Good evening fellow agents.
Today, I based off from Planet Leeds and went into a patrol in deeper Taus as well as gallic border systems. I didn't put myself well into the seat, that on the first trade lane to Stokes, I've intercepted a gaian ship, sitting in front of it. Apparently, it was a Chameleon heavy fighter and his call sign " [Gaia]:.Ben.Black". I have asked him his reasons of sitting there, even if I know he was out for piracy and gaian wildfire interdiction. I kept interrogating him, until a transport dropped off from the lane, so I had to use force against it ship, not the best one indeed. The hauler managed to reach Planet Leeds safely, while in less than 2 minutes, I removed the gaian threat.
Then I've continued my way to Tau 31, when I've been contacted by Terrance Chamberlain in regards of putting him in touch with Admiral Charles Davids. I've asked his identification, because I never met him. I found out that he's an Intelligence Service agent of Bretonia. I find this trustworthy, because his accent and name are genuine bretonian, even if he isn't having Sir David's communication link, so I've redirected him to the admiral.
Reaching Tau 23, I've sighted an outcast gunship sitting in front of the gate to Tau 31, so I remembered him to harass any Gallic Lawful he sees, as well of keeping him safe from stronger reinforcements. Then I proceeded to the Orkney jump hole. On the way, in front of the Battleship Guilliestre there was a Gallic Metal Service Vache full of beryllium ore. It's call sign is 24/7.Priority.Transport. I tried to seize the ore, but unsuccessful because of the Valor heavy fire.
After this, I've patrolled the Orkney System, but not found any interesting targets so I returned to Base Cali, in Tau 23 for refueling.
Yesterday and the day before were quite busy. I was about to head into the Tau systems when I have encountered a Gallic Royal Navy scout in the Leeds system, at least I think he was one. He was talking about his superior technology and that he would be looking for Bretonian fleets to destroy these all on his own. His attitude was rather annoying, he thought he could kill everyone and everything, so I showed him the opposite. He was tough and not easy to beat, but in no way able to kill fleets on his own, considering that he lost against me. I suppose he needs better technology! *He chuckles*
Yesterday, when I was again about to move to the Tau systems, I have received reports about a high activity of Gallic Royal vessels in the area. So I went in there to check the situation and to remain unknown. However, remaining unknown has kinda failed, they've found me and attacked me. But before that I was able to see the GRN working together with the KNF to siege a base, where I am not sure who it belongs to. The stations name is Helmand Outpost and it is located above Holman in Tau 31. The KNF forces have retreated right after my arrival and solely the GRN vessels were left. Together with the help of other agents and the Colonial Remnants we were able to push these forces back and to damage them severely. All allied forces returned to base unharmed.
Being ordered to the Tau's to learn more about the installation named Helmes in Tau-31, I refueled my ship in Leeds at the BMM station LD-14 and went into the dangerous zone. I tried to stay covered to scout as much as possible without getting blown up by Gallic's. But all I got in front of my camera until my fuel and oxygen was used up was a Junker. So the mission I was sent put to do is still open, but the Junker is a small success for me.
The Junker vessel named [/i].:j:.Hooptie.Express (Pirate Train) fully loaded with Marines went straight to the Gallic Battleship Carcassonne and docked to it without slowing down much of his speed.
This is Black Guard Lieutenant Thomas Murry reporting in after a long period of time. I've been taken down in Orkney two months ago by a combined EFL and Gaul Royal Navy patrol. Luckily, a group of outcast managed to recover my pod and get me to safety at Cali. My health was in very bad conditions so I've been taken to Freeport X at the medical wing. Surgeons said I'm lucky to be alive. Got my left arm and leg broken. Because of the shock I've taken in the ejecting process, one rib broke up in pieces. They said I've also had a cranial hemorrhage. Fortunately, due to the fast response of outcast lads and good medical expertise of zoners, I'm still up and running.
Now let's get to the main point. Yesterday I've received a transmission from two privateers. They've noticed me that an indian brigand gunboat was blocking their way out from Barrier Gate. I've thought about the good oportunity to save my fellow bretonians, so I've taken the closet path to Coronado: Tau 29-Baffin-Coronado. Unfortunately, one more indian arrived, so the privateers had to wait on the freelancer station little bit more till the pirates were gone. I managed to safely exit Coronado trough Cortez hole, then headed back into the taus. When I jumped to Tau 23, I've immediately noticed a gallic cruiser backed up by two lynxes chasing a outcast bomber, [APR]F22. I thought I can help him, so I jumped in in the attempt of killing the fighters. After some minutes, the cruiser managed to transfer more and more nanobots to them while F22 was destroyed. In the meanwhile, I was busy and I've sent an emergency call to 101st Ghosts of Razgriz. Firstly, they've sent a bomber in, the administrator himself, Martino Perez. It still wasn't enough, but seems like Martino is having lots of relations and Rorry inside his gunship joined the "party". Soon one more lad in a Sabre, Dawn|RR jumped in. Now odds were in our favor. First target was the hostile cruiser, Jean-Pierre-Doubois. It's desperate attempt to flee to Indochide failed, so he went down with a big poof . A gallic junker tried to aid his fellows, but failed in an instant. Then, the two lynxes were left to play with. Unfortunately, Martino Perez is a well hunted guy too, so IMG as well as Michal Gonanski from The Order attempted to kill him. Renegades had to defend him, so it was up to me to handle the gauls, not a really difficult task. The last one, MDR|Cavier was a hell of a coward. He managed to run to Helmand Outpost where he got first aid from the EFL, so I had to call off the day.
In the meanwhile, an Ile De France train undocked from Indochide full with beryllium ore. He didn't traveled more than six kilometers till I've halted him. He tried to run back and barely succeeded.
