PRIORITY: [color=#FFFFFF]Confidential ENCRYPTION:Moderate IDENTIFICATION: Sous Lieutenant Didier Blonc SOURCE: Battleship Beuvray SUBJECT: Re: Success in Leeds
[color=#C0C0C0]Bonjour compatriots
Today was yet another success in the name of the Crown! This operation took place in the Leeds system in Bretonia and saw our forces greatly outnumbered. However we still managed to deal a decisive blow to the Siriun worms.
We were faced against at least three Bretonian Destroyer class ships and multiple snub craft. We had one mighty Valor and a few fighters. During the fight I tried to keep all the enemy bombers off the Valor and am proud to report my first kill in service to Gallia. Unfortunately my ship was then put out of action by one of the Destroyers. The good news is I was back within four hours and joined our Commander, Princess DeFrance in another attack on Leeds.
Just as we were about to strike, an ion storm hit and I lost all communications. As soon as my flight systems were up and running again, I returned to Gallia.
Signed Sous Lieutenant Didier Blonc
[color=#99FFFF]Long live le Crown!!

Ze war against ze Sirians presses on in ze Leeds systeme with another glorious victory for our great Royal Navy. Our King's forces attacked their garrison at Stokes while sustaining minimal casualties. Many ships were involved on both sides and after a lengthy battle, many Sirians lost their lives or fled in shame. While I was not credited with any confirmed kills on ziss glorious day, I provided several assists in that effort. Appended are some gun-cams of ze battle at its most raging pointe.
Ze paste-eating Sirian rodents can try to resist His will, but soon they shall succumb to ze great might of ze Royal Navy! With skill and honor we shall fight them to their deaths. It is only a matter of time until Leeds and Bretonia falls to Gallia and ze King's forces are able to search out and find ze remaining Councilmen in their secret sanctuary.
For ze King! For Gallia!

As I was Patrolling Edinburgh today, my comm screens showed some unrecognised ship. On Decoding it, we found a Bretonian Battleship located somewhere within the system. Soon I dispatched several squadrons under my command to find it. Our Lieutenant Fabrice was able to detect it and we rushed to the spot. It started to panic and started engaging us. But it was no match for our skills and we blew it to pieces.

[font=Agency FB][color=#00CCCC] Long Live King Charles XI !!! We made yet another victory in a battle today.
As I was inspecting my Staff today, I heard alarms from my staff that BAF Gunboats were breaching Edinburgh. I immediately dispatched two of my men on a search mission. But Battleship Castres had it on radar and I myself did launch to attack them. While they cornered my like anything and with my men faraway, A Cruiser on patrol came into action helping me. We were able to destroyboth of them easily.
Soon my men came across something. A coalition Capital Ship!!! We fought Hardly against it having only 2 bombers and a fighter. Our Colonel Alphonse ship was damaged at the beginning and was forced to return. So I was left with minimal Options but we still continued to fight and was able to burn it.

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]After the first strikes were launched against Bretonian Armed Forces in Leeds system, I requested to be reassigned to the battleship Guillestre to keep an eye on the Tau 37 front and ensure the safety of the mining areas. Outcasts, Maquis, Council and Kusari Exiles seem to be the main force there, launching attacks over and over again while our forces are doing their best to repel the endless waves of enemies.
I was able to set up a couple of recon missions into the northern sectors of Tau 37, even entering the core of Maltese territory and claiming the heads of a few savages with the help of Chantal Bonnet, who proved to be a very valuable asset as Royal Navy wingmate.
Report: Defense of Edibrough -> Leeds gate (1/23/2012)
As our forces began to mass for a raid into Leeds, two QCP bombers tried to reach the gate to Leeds, they must have sent out a distress signal as a Bretoninan battleship, gunboat fighter and bomber arrived shortly after, the Battleship was destroyed by our cruisers far from the gunboat and fighter battles
The gunboat was killed from bombers and fighters the kill shot was not from one of our battle group, a loyal soldier of Gallia aided in the fight.
During hte engagement with the fighters and bombers one of hte bombers was able to flee, and my ship was critically damaged and I was forced to abandon ship before a reactor core breach destroyed me and the ship.
End report: Casualties: Giles Landuin's Lynx
Victory.

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]This time I had to coordinate with a Royal Navy battlegroup coming from Lewis to take down several heavy warships from both Council and Bretonian Armed Forces. The rest was me and Bonnet once again cleaning the Taus from any hostile presence.
We moved into Leeds to engage a council Battleship in the Leeds system. Upon catching it we engaged and destroyed the traitorous ship. It was at that time Bretonnian forces mobilized with their allies, Ronin and CR ships joined in. GRN|RNS-Austerlitz, GRN|RNS-Aerricura, and myself took down the Argosax. We were forced to withdraw from the system once they all began to amass. My own ship was hit by cruise disruptors and had to fly back on impulse and thrusters, my ship was significantly damaged damaged but was able to get back to safe port.
End report: Original mission was a success and the destruction of the Argosax is another boon, it is highly advisable that we ready a significant defense in Edinburgh for future reprisals.
Secondary Report: HMS-Victory was my first kill in the service of the Royal Navy GRN|C.Elize helped in the destruction of the Cruiser. We were out numbered 7 to 2 and our escape pods were brought in by the battleship Castres, once the enemies fled back to their space our ships were retrieved and were not hard to get refitted for action.
Ze next day, a couple of us Naval officers flew to Leeds to uphold ze decrees of our King against Bretonian corporations. This poor BMM transport captain fellow chose ze wrong time to try to sneak past our checkpoint. [color=#33FF33]Destruction of a BMM transport.
During that operation, a Freelancer thought it was an opportune time to deny ze will of ze King and attack our checkpoint. Freelancer attacks GRN ships
A few blasts into his hull made him think twice about ze idea. He quickly scampered away back into ze shadows where he belongs.
For ze King! For Gallia!
