Force recon assessment has revealed interesting details today. Aboard my Serval, i made a sweep of the system for easy targets to be eliminated by stronger forces. Upon entering the Radius of Freeport 4, I came upon an unguarded "Dunkirk" Class Battleship. Initial scans showed heavy anti fighter defences, so i slowed my approach and stopped just close enough to snag scans of the enemy's armament. In addition to the 'Kirk, two zoner warships appeared nearby, the ZFS-Goliath, a Nephilim class dreadnought, armed with a cloaking device, and the ZFS-Colossus, a Aquilon class carrier, armed with a jump drive. Here are the scans of all three. Could be useful if we ever go into battle against them.

SUJET: "ORDER" INCURSION - AGINCOURT


ID: Général Lucie LeBlanc, Marine Royale Gauloise

A taskforce of unknown, unauthorised vessels was picked up by a surveillance buoy in the West Agincourt Smog Cloud. Having received the alert on board the Oubli, I personally launched my Lynx to investigate the signal, and found the group of vessels already closing into Agincourt orbit, proudly broadcasting an "Order" transponder code.

Upon hailing the squadron, I was met by a wall of arrogance and blatant rudeness from their taskforce commander and his lackeys. Little more discourse was required from that point, as I have no tolerance for bad manners - least of all from persons in breach of Gallic law.

Code:

[30.11.2013 00:20:47] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: Quoi?
[30.11.2013 00:21:08] Order|CV-Spectre: Fighter, Lynx-class approaching.
[30.11.2013 00:21:23] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: What is the meaning of this?
[30.11.2013 00:21:48] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: Hmm? Speak up.
[30.11.2013 00:21:54] Order|CV-Spectre: Less you know, the happier you will be.
[30.11.2013 00:21:57] O'Rhu|B-Ank'horus: Move your ship out of the way, monseniour
[30.11.2013 00:22:05] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: I should very much doubt that.
[30.11.2013 00:22:22] O'Rhu|B-Ank'horus: You may get your gallig blobs fired if not
[30.11.2013 00:22:29] Order|CV-Spectre: It's proven. Answers lead only to more questions, until you meet the barrier that is not answerable yet.
[30.11.2013 00:22:34] O'Rhu|B-Ank'horus: Fried*
[30.11.2013 00:22:37] Order|CV-Spectre: Shut it, escort.
[30.11.2013 00:22:58] Order|CV-Spectre: We're not here to hunt the locals.
[30.11.2013 00:23:17] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: You're not, are you?
[30.11.2013 00:23:38] Order|CV-Spectre: Have I issued order to remove you? I do not think so.
[30.11.2013 00:23:48] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: Remove /me/?
[30.11.2013 00:24:11] Order|CV-Spectre: Destroy, kill, anihilate, sanitize, purge... just words to explain the same.
[30.11.2013 00:24:38] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: You are very rude for visitors.
[30.11.2013 00:24:57] Order|CV-Spectre: I thought "we" are visitors.
[30.11.2013 00:25:15] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: That is what I just said, yes.
[30.11.2013 00:25:20] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: Are you particularly dense?
[30.11.2013 00:25:35] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: I don't negotiate with idiots.
[30.11.2013 00:25:48] Order|CV-Spectre: Who said we are here to negotiate?
[30.11.2013 00:25:49] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: Is there someone smarter on board that vessel that I may speak to?
[30.11.2013 00:26:06] Order|CV-Spectre: Listen, as I said we are not here to kill either you or Bretonians.
[30.11.2013 00:26:23] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: You know, we get an awful lot of visitors who say things like that.
[30.11.2013 00:26:25] Order|CV-Spectre: *inside chatter* Array control, give me update on the process.
[30.11.2013 00:26:26] GRN|Thomas.Leveque.: That is a sort of fleet I had not seen before... Madame general, what's going on?
[30.11.2013 00:26:29] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: Neutral, or so they say.
[30.11.2013 00:26:30] GRN|Gregor.Lambard.: You called General?
[30.11.2013 00:26:36] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: We have visitors, Leveque, Lambard.
[30.11.2013 00:26:48] GRN|Gregor.Lambard.: *ahem* i mean *Generale
[30.11.2013 00:27:00] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: Uninvited ones. Much like these Zoner oafs, who tromp through without authorisation and pretend to be confused when things-
[30.11.2013 00:27:02] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: -go wrong.
[30.11.2013 00:27:33] GRN|Thomas.Leveque.: They... disappeared?
[30.11.2013 00:27:35] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: It's very, very rude to run while I'm still speaking.
[30.11.2013 00:27:46] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: Very.
[30.11.2013 00:27:58] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: See where your arrogance gets you?
[30.11.2013 00:28:19] GRN|Lucie.LeBlanc: Next time, you will show us the respect we rightfully command.

Leveque, Launcelot, and (although he was late) Dupont were scrambled, and with the assistance of some auxiliary Naval assets our response team was successful in eradicating the majority of this "Order" incursion. A cruiser-class vessel escaped the scene using a cloak, and one of their fighter craft was permitted to leave with its hull badly buckled. They can carry home the result of today's engagement to the rest of their little group.

First contact
Mid-engagement
Target #1 neutralised - by me, bien sûr
Target #2 eliminated - again, telemetry data confirms my involvement
Target #3 destroyed - I really do consider myself quite hands-on

Two or three other craft were also taken out, but it appears that the relevant visual data has gone missing. Losses for the Navy include just two Secondary Fleet snubcraft.

Bonjour Royal Navy,

Today was more of a battle report rather then a patrol report. When I undocked, I found that fellow Royal Navy pilots were about to be engaged with Colonials and some Bretonians. The battle didn't last long, then they all retreated back to their hole Megallan. After about fifteen minutes, a fleet of allied Batleships came for a counter attack, on five snubcraft pilots.

The battle then continued, with our snubcraft wing of " Cougar " bombers were tearing them apart one by one. After destroying four battleships, the rest fled away from Leeds. Then all of us headed back to Oubli. I docked for quick repairs and rearming on ammunition, and then got a signal of Order in Leeds causing trouble.

I undocked and headed to the given way point, but seems I came right for the fighting part. The Order were engaged, and several of them were scraped. Including two gunboats, two bombers, and a light fighter. After destroying one of the last two light fighters, the remaining one ran off. That's it for today, let's see what happens tomorrow....I will upload some of the guncam shots which weren't destroyed.

Bonjour *salutes*

I am hereby submitting my report form the Magellan battle we won today....The Agincourt set out from planet Leeds after a huge concetration of enemy ships were reported in Magellan by our forces there... At first it was only fighters....Later on, enemy capital vessels started to appear, and get destroyed....There were 2 Punisher squadron Valors and a cruiser there to act as support....Our first target was a bretonian destroyer, who was brought down by one of the Punisher valors, a freelancer who was rather friendly with us and the Agincourt...Ater that as we headed towards Leeds, a Council cruiser appeared and followed us in there....We engaged them and they tried to flee to Magellan and the safety of the Freeport, but were intercepted and destroyed by the Agincourt with the hel of a Punisher Valor... After the council cruiser went down, we were ordered to turn our attention to a Zoner Aquilion clas ship that refused to leave the battlefield, so Generale LeBlanc ordered us to destroy it, which we did.... The last portion of the capital fleet battle was when 2 Bretonian vessels appeared: BAF|A-Valentine, a bretonian Liberty Assault Carrier and HMS-Manchester, a Dunkirk class battleship....Both of them were destroyed, but so were the 2 Valors.... Out of desperation, the enemy fleet, mainly the remaining colonials focused all their efforts into bringing down the Agincourt but failed, as our fighter wing was able to assist, disperse, and eventually destroy all of them.... Seems that this infamous "alliance" formed against us has showed utter incompetence in dealing with a highly trained and professional force that is His Majestie's Royal Navy...Images recorded from the battle are included in the report...

Internal Memo to all Royal Navy Pilots

Incoming directive in relation to the "Nomads."

In the past few weeks, Royal Navy patrols have reported an increased incidence of Alien sightings and activity around the Bretonian warzone. These Aliens are called "Nomads" by the Sirian populace, and held responsible for a colony-wide war in 800-801 A.S.

The truth of that claim can be doubted, but the situation as it stands is uncertain. Nomad craft have shown interest in the Royal Navy's actions but have not initiated hostilities. On several occasions, they've even extended help when none was expected. Repeated encounters with the aliens is driving a singular point home. They are not hostile against Gallia.

Keeping this in mind, Royal Navy forces are hereby instructed to avoid engagements with Alien craft and keep their distance. They are an unknown, and pilots should remain on their guard around them, but not provoke the aliens unnecessarily.

This policy shall remain in effect until more information can be unearthed about these creatures.

Salut,

Report as follows.

The past several weeks have seen intense bouts of combat in the field. Actions against Outcast elements have occupied a good portion of flight time since induction. Several notable incidents will be highlighted.

First major action occurred under command of Général Lucie LeBlanc in the Tau-23 system. Outcast "Storta" class warship was sighted and our flight moved to intercept. Orders to attack were received, and we engaged the vessel. While engaged second "Storta" class vessel arrived on scene to assist first target. First target destroyed attempting to flee via Tau-37 system and we returned to find and engage second target. Général LeBlanc claimed final hits against both targets.

#1 #2 #3 #4 #5

On patrol in recently equipped Nova armed "Cougar" bomber, second major action found target operating in the Burgundy system. Reported target to Général Victor Pelletier aboard the RNS Acre. Held target until arrival and engagement began, assisted with Nova torpedo weaponry. Target destroyed with RNS Acre taking significant damage.

#1 #2 #3 #4

Noted increase in traffic of apparent Outcast allies known as Junker's Congress vessels passing through Tau-23 system. Attempts to order targets back to own space were rebuffed with arrival of Outcast "Storta" class vessel. Acting with the warship Junker's Congress vessels attacked my "Cougar" class bomber and assisting secondary fleet gunboat, forcing withdrawal from the field. Bomber was lost in action, status unknown of allied gunboat RNS Rempart.

Opening Message

Bonjour!

Bringing to your attention my report about the small encounter that happen around Agincourt and Tau 31 systems today.

RNS Gardien under my command have been returning to Agincourt system after being repaired on the shipyards in Ile de France. Just as we entered the system we have met a wing of Liberty Navy fighters. Did not took much time for a gunboat from secondary fleet to show up, and considering the situation lacking of any threats I decided to continue my way. Though just as we reached Stokes we received a distress call from a highly mentioned gunboat. When we reached back to Tau 31 gate, there were only wreckages of the destroyed Perilous.

Following the information from Glasgow we headed to Tau 31 where we spoted a Council Obstinate. With some effords we managed to destroy the ship, and just in the moment it exploded the Liberty Navy wing have re-arrived. By this time monsieur Damien Chevalier have joined us. Unfortunately he have been preparing to meet a capital ship, thus brought the bomber. Just as the seen him Liberty forces engaged. We put our effords in protecting the bomber from unfair fight, though one Libertonian kept fleing and returning with full supplies several times, even after the fight moved to Harris. Fortunately in a pause between those runs I managed to reach to my fighter in Agincourt and come back in that fight before our bomber was destroyed. Monsieur Damien managed to flee, in order to pick proper craft for this fight and when he came back, the second Libertonian reached us as well.

The fight lasted for quite a while, but we managed to defeat Liberty forces. One fighter landed on Harris, second fleed to Leeds where we managed to finish him.

During that fight several hostile contacts were appearing, including Freelancer freighter that attempted to engage me, but was destroyed, a pilot from a criminal organisation from Kusari, known as Golden Chrysanthemums there, who did not engage our forces, and a Kusari Exile pilot who attempted to catch me on my way to intercept remaining Liberty fighter. After a fail to do so that pilot have disappeared however. There are several shots that my crews made, you may see them here:

Camera shots.

Before I finish this report, I would like to bring to your attention that Liberty forces have been resupplying very quickly. Considering the speed of their comming back I assume they have a base that supports them in Tau 31. Since there are only two known to us places where they could do that, it makes me think that IMG do some support towards our enmies. Perhaps we should try to take control over a landing trafic on Holman, and Java as well? But that is your decission. My report is completed.

Colonel Marcell Chevalier.

Encription: Medium

Salut,

Report as follows.

Reports of enemy warships in Magellan system prompted Grand Maréchal Ansel Xavier to lead flight of "Cougar" class bombers into action. No initial contact was made and we withdrew, only to return shortly thereafter to engage Liberty Navy fleet operating outside of station known as Freeport 4. Our bomber wing, supported by a single warship, engaged the enemy vessels and obliterated their fleet. Upon orders from the Maréchal we withdrew back to Agincourt in preparation for an attack upon the New London system.

Re-armed and re-fueled we made for the capitol of the enemy via spatial anomaly. Encountering no major resistance we diverted to the Dublin system. We encountered a lone Corsair warship whose captain thought too highly of himself and was subsequently punished for his error. Additional warships of Bretonian origin were encountered and destroyed as well.
