Effective Immediately, the Royal Strike Force has joined up with the Main Fleet and will be operating under our unique transponder as well as their old one. I expect everyone to treat them as equals, and help them as you can.
The same goes for the RSF. I expect top-notch performance, like I expect of the rest.
That is all. Carry on with your duties, and fight the good fight. Bretonia will crumble, and you shall be the hammer that takes it down.
Signed,
Adelaide Roux, Marquise of Orleanais
Grande Marechal of the Royal Navy
I will keep this short as I have much to do after today's battle.
A large group of joint GRN and GRP forces invaded Leeds this evening. We met heavy resistance as The Brentonian forces once again joined up with CR, SCRA and Libertorian assets. Despite the fact that we were heavily outnumbered I can still safely say that this was a succees for Gallic forces. We managed to down several capital assets as well as numerous fighters and bombers.
However I believe that our biggest victory of the day came when a Royal Police officer landed a killing blow to the ship of one Admiral Charles Davies of The Bretonian Armed Forces. The Admiral's current condition is unknown, unfortunately however, we must assume he was rescued by his fellow Siriuns.
Much to my disappointment I was ordered away from the battle as problems within the Royal Logistics Fleet have arising and need to be dealt with. I was able to leave at a time when our forces were still a strong force against our enemies. The battle is still going on, I wish the Royal Forces the best of luck, even though we do not really need it.
That is all for now

Today was a great victory! Myself, onboard the Missile Cruiser Aericura, along with the Valors Roubiax, Overlord, and Imperiuese, were joined by Joanne Margot, Silver Reaver, Dark Orchid Reaver, the infamous Le Angry, and a GRP Pilot whose name escapes me.
While the fighters moved ahead, we capitals and Mlle Margot headed to open space and rendezvoused. We were waiting for the Bretonian heavies when an Exiled Destroyer destroyed Le Angry! We immediately moved in and opened fire. The Accura, as it was called, fell, along with another Dessie upon arrival of the Avallon...Lei Ying Lo or some such nonsense. With two down, we focused on the hostile Bretonians.
Down went multiple destroyers: HMS Bristol, HMS Susude, Ynos-Mitrabev, as well as the gunboat Agammemnon, and one other gunboat.
We also downed a bretonian "Doomshrimp" called....*cough* Hamster. The killing blow was done by one of our autonomous valors. After A BAF officer named Sinclair went down, his colleuge, Lawrence Winter, fell.
The entire composition of the fleet is as follows:
GRN|RNS-Aericura - Missile Cruiser
GRN|RNS-Roubaix - Valor
GRN|RSF-Napoleon - Valor
RNS-Overlord - Valor
RNS-Bay.Of.Lions - Valor (showed up later in the fight and assisted in destroying Hamster)
Imperieuse - Valor
RNS-Annoyance - Obstinante (Arrived to replace the Overlord) Destroyed
RNS-Avallon - Obstinate (Came and destroyed a Hatchet)
Silver Reaver - Something
Amethyst Reaver - Odin
Dark Orchid Reaver - Miner Destroyed
Le.Angry - Lynx Destroyed
GRP|Argent-08 - Cougar
Joanne.Margot - Eclipse Destroyed
There were a few others, but I cannot recall their names.
Too all, you have done well. They Bretonians thought we were cowering back, but no.
That was merely the calm before the storm.
On a different note, I would like to welcome Duchess Elria Ciel back to the fold. She has taken command of her old Valor, and is heading to the Front Lines.
Do your duty Duchess. Like you always have.
In service to the King and the Grande Marechal. The following Attachments are missing the destruction confirmation of two or three more hostiles.
Salut mes camarades,
I have completed my required setups and initiations and have now stationed my vessel aboard Castres, waiting for orders and ready for Duty. I will begin regular patrols soon and will report back regularly.
Salut mes camarades,
Today i set out to a small Patrol of the Leeds system before i returned to burgundy for a much needed upgrade on my ship. It was an uneventful patrol, as only a few Rookie's showed up ,which were quickly dispatched of, while i was experiencing technical issues with my ship. After the patrol i immediately set course for Burdundy to see to that my ship was repaired or replaced. Upon arrival i was told my ship was irrepairable and was to be used for spareparts out of those that still work, so it was time i gotten a new ship. I am pleased to announce the commision of my new Lynx Very Heavy Fighter. In addition to that, i have expanded my hangar to now also house a Cougar Bomber , for when the situation needs it. Both ships have been testes and have their first flights behind them. I am now awaiting new orders.
Salut mes camarades,
Following my recent promotion to Capitaine, order for commissioning of a new "Obstinate" class cruiser was given and followed out. The new Cruiser, christened RNS-Dupleix has been moved to Edinburgh and is under my command there. Following the cancellation of Operation Midnight Rush due to circumstances undisclosed, i took the Dupleix into Leeds for a Patrol and survey, and testing of the ships systems. I am proud to say it has passed all system and operations test and is now ready for full service at the Crowns will.

So.
The siege of LD-14 has begun. Myself onboard the Aericura Forward Command Cruiser, along with the Dupleix, met with the SGL|Merci and the Regi...the valor of our good friend Gideon. We then proceeded to our target.
The damage inflicted hopefully will slow down the fuel being processed and help limit the enemies' fleet movements...and possibly halt all Exile capitals if we succeed.
After that, Bretonian Armed Forces, Intelligence Services, and Police Authority vessels scrambled, as well as Exiles forces under the name Ronin and Avenger. Excluding the Ronin, BPA, and a HMS gunboat, agent Argent 8 of GRP's GR division slaughtered them all as we kept their shields down.
That will be all.
Also, Capitaine Moreau is outdoing you all. She'll make Colonel before the month's end if you bastards don't get your acts together.
Signed,
Lelouch D'Aramis,
Colonel, Fiance of the Grande Marechal
Salut mes camarades,
Today the Bretagne, a Valor Class Battleship has been comissioned under my command and with approval of the Command. The ship is outfitted with the best equipment available and has made its maiden voyage to Edinbrough with ease. During the Journey, we came across four Union Corse Pilots as clearly identified by their papers, though talks were short when a gutsy Bretonian showed up, though with the Aericuria and two Snubcraft following the Bretonian, the Bretagne was ordered to continue its voyage. No other events are to report from the trip.
I'm aware many of you may not know who I am, however, I have served in the Royal Navy since prior to the Sirius Invasion. I was a former Royal Guard Capitaine assigned to protect and serve Prince Joseph Martius DeFrance himself. However, he is no longer in need of me and I have been transferred to the front lines of the war, as per my own request. Though enough of my... personal life.
Effectively immediately, I will be taking control of the Edinburgh Battlegroup, henceforth known as the Magenta Battlegroup, which consists of the following Valor class battleships, The Villeneuve, The Castres, and The Bethany. Commandants of these ships are to assign a detail to have their ships cleaned and prepped for inspection within the coming week.
Military sorties into Leeds shall continue and pick up ten fold. All operations that are failures will be reported directly to me via this channel, likewise for anything that constitutes a victory.
In regards to the capture and treatment of Prisoners of War, any and all Breton, Kusari, and Liberty pilots who are captured are to be retained for questioning, and shall not be submitted to torture within this Battlegroup. Captured Gallic Rebels or Colonials are to be executed on sight, as they were given a fair chance to surrender.
Any pilot from warring nations attempting to reach asylum with the Magenta Battlegroup shall be marked as traitors and are to be executed on sight. We will not accept traitors into our ranks as long as I'm in command of this battlegroup. Unless stated otherwise by the King himself.
Furthermore, any information regarding the culture of Breton society shall be passed onto me, as I plan on making the transition between Breton Rule to Gallic Rule as smooth as possible. Historical Archives, databanks, and other information regarding Breton culture are not to be destroyed.
On a final note, we will burn those who stand in our way down.
"I've been witness to quite a few disappointing sorties in Leeds, all of them have ended in a similar story, either Gallic forces were completely destroyed, or were forced to retreat. Neither of these are acceptable. The Breton Armed Forces might have seasoned and veteran pilots due to the Kusari war, however, we have the better technological capabilities, superior firepower, and veteran pilots.
Though, I do have one minor victory to report, as I was checking up on Gallic Secondary Pilots running combat sorties into Leeds, I came across a battle between one such wing engaged in combat with Armed Forces and Bowex pilots. While I observed, I notice that these... secondary pilots... were actually capable of holding their own, something our pilots can't see to do, or so I thought.
The fighting dragged on for a bit longer than I would have liked, and I eventually was forced into combat to even the odds. Hostile forces managed to down one of the allied bombers, but soon lost one of their own vessels to my hands, a few minutes later a lone Colonial ship arrived and went down mere minutes after it's arrival, again by my hands, as did the last allied pilot on my side.
Eventually, the Bowex fighter and I continued the fighting until I scored a lucky hit, 'cause the Bowex pilot to withdrawal from the fight.
I feel that this should be the beginning of more combative victories into Breton space."
