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

[Markam]

Dispense with the formality, im in a rush, a short and simple report on a minor and feable and utterly aimless attempt by CR to uh.. destroy us? quite simply, 5 CR fighters wandered into Leeds, and started a little fight with us.

They came, they saw, and we gave them a good thrashing. all enemy ships were destroyed completely.

good show and all that.

[Dieter Schprokets]

The room was quiet as the Minister of Defense, James Ralston, entered the room and walked up to the podium. He was less tipsy than usual.

The room was filled with flag officers, and various Captains, Commanders, and Lieutenant Commanders as well. He addressed them with a broad smile, his cheeks reddened by port. (The running joke was that his blood type was "P")

"Gentlemen!", he started. Whatever murmuring there was stopped.

"There simply is no end to how proud I am of you, and your pilots!" A few muffled cheers, then he continued.

"Kusari, Colonials, Corsairs, no one can dent us of late!! The recent re-organization of the Bretonian Armed Forces has resulted in the formation of an irresistable fist, which cannot, and WILL NOT be stopped in our quest for the greater glory of the Bretonian Nation, and the Crown!"

The cheers began again, then died down, to give him a chance to continue.

"There is an ancient military maxim against a two-front war. Well, we fight the Corsairs in Cambridge, and the Colonials and the Kusari in the Taus. Seems a two front war suits Bretonians fine!"

"In fact" he continued, "the Mollys, it seems, may have changed their mind about peace. Rumours stir about a possible resurrection of the troubles. And if that is so, then.."

He paused to gather his breath, then boomed,

"Two fronts appear to be just enough to keep us in practice. So then, by all means, lets have three!!"

The Huzzahs were now deafening.

This new crop of officers were ready for just about anything.

Yahar! My band o' ne'er-do-wells have just returned from an extended foray into Kusari space. We, of course, liberated many of their purses (probably made from human skin) of cash, and even emptied a vessel of Deuterium, offloading it to the BMM at the Gate Construction Site in Tau 23.

We'll be basing from the BMM base and sending as much money home to the BAF and our mothers as we can. In a couple of weeks we'll return home from this wilderness with tales of fame, wealth and glory!

Yohoho and all that, fellas!

Combat Report: Aubrey Mainwaring

I had just come on duty in New London, when a Molly vessel Kate.O'Mally appeared at Southampton making threats and pirating trade vessels.

I was unable to raise the attention of Shaun.Mckeckren-P, who was at New London - perhaps his comms unit was faulty, as he did not respond.

Other BAF units were in the Taus and thus unable to be of help.

With the Molly actually pirating a vessel, I moved to engage, only to find another ship (Blood Dragon IFF and completely green to my sensors!) called the -Hellfire- was assisting the O'malley ship. I was able to hold them off for a while but was overwhelmed eventually.

I have heard that perhaps the Hellfire is a Liberty Rogue, even so, it seemed odd to see him there and attacking me with such venom. I would like him targeted for special attention.

Mainwaring out.

Destination: Liberty Forces

Greetings noble officers,
I come before you with a humble request, for moral's sake, not monetary.

Too long has the secret slave trade been kept quiet and ignored. I know much of it, I was involved in it. However, after meeting hundreds of slaves during that time, I regret doing so and want to somewhat attone for my ways. I want to help as many of those being exploited as possible.

Now I have contacts within that industry, I can puchase the slave's lives and set them free. As you should be aware there is a minor facility in Omega 49 which rehabilitates slaves on a minor scale. With the Council of Zoner's approval I intend to build a Rehabilitation centre with potential to make a big affect on this evil trade.

Many Slaves have been institutionalised, they should be gradually helped back to a normally functioning life. Turning them over to the police in my opinion is unhealthy for their wellbeing.


The issue I have is with getting these slaves to the Rehabilitation Facility, as they are declared contraband.
The laws are in place to uphold morals and maintain order, our intentions are truly moral, and by removing slaves from this trade we are surely increasing the order in your prosperous nation.

I therefore request our ships be licensed to transport slaves, the journey is long and difficult as it is, with little monetary gain, without the law threatening us.
Our ships will have this callsign registered: ZAS (Zoners Abolishing Slavery)
This is how they shall be setup:
The pilots would purchase the slaves in Texas, they would then be loaded into cells on prison liners with few luxuries, they need to be deinstitutionalised gradually, so as not to shock or scare them with the unknown. They would then fly through New York, cruising by Planet Manhatten, so they can see the centre of Sirius before continuing.
The ships themselves would be equipped with cap ship armour, as one can never know when there might be a misunderstanding with the lawfuls. Also they would carry a maximum of 2500 slaves. The rest of the cargo space is occupied by oxygen, food, water, medicines, and fuel. Each ship would also require 200 staff, including guards, navigators, doctors, gunners, counsellors and carers.
These wages would need to be provided by the Zoner tax system, as would the items. The pilot's wages will be paid by the centre, 900 credits per slave, although, in turn that is funded by the Government.

I have worked with the BAF before, for a corporation I was preciously involved with. I know you to be reasonable and rair in your judgement. I hope that will be the case with this proposal.

I know that certain vessels have been licensed to carry artifacts in the past, exceptions to the law are available. I modestly request an exception, to free the exploited and abused. I ask for a license to transport slaves. If you would like any amendments or changes to the above please state them, I am willing to make any alterations, as long as they are for the benefit of our passengers.

Coriko out.

//edit: Now doesn't mention Gran Canaria, it shouldn't have in the first place.

Whit all the fleet i hired,he manage to survive all the way to New London whit multiple attack all the way long,but on our way to new London another ship join him trying to destroy my liner for get my precious codename weapon,and for make my day a [522] squadron appear,three or four ship[Identification unknow]they were destroyed too fast by the bounty hunter fleet.

But whit all this action we still manage to reach New London in safety,my ship need a new paintjob due to LH Phate,but Im alive,my weapon are safe its all i wanted.

So Ladies and Gentlemen if you need to hire a bounty hunter....i hardly suggest you one of the proud bounty hunter representant i hired today.

I went through my ship logs when I found an incident that slipped my mind in the last battle with KNF in Dundee...

The Bounty Hunter Destroyer Mysob should be declared KoS in Bretonia. He was caught smuggling Deuterium to the Tau systems. He refused to comply and engaged BAF vessels, destroying one.
