Good afternoon, officers and colleagues,

My name is Commander David Garrand, a soldier of the Bretonian Armed Forces.

My superiors requested that I report a sensitive matter to the CDI and BIS.

Yesterday, on 09 March 836 AS, in the Cambridge system, I encountered a Gaian transport vessel under the callsign Midsummer. Normally, something like this would be nothing out of the ordinary. However, this time the Midsummer’s ship type was a “Bulwark” Bristol-Kress Heavy Explorer. Attempting to stop the vessel was not an easy task. After ordering the ship to halt, it opened fire on us. Fortunately for me, the shields of my Crusader managed to withstand the hits.

While attempting to get reinforcements on grid, a Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing “Archon” Modular Asteroid Miner under the callsign Braeriach received my distress signal and came to assist. With the heavy and modular firepower those ships possess, the fight became more even.Together, we managed to take out the ship near the southern nebula.

I will upload a picture from our gun cameras.

Picture

For Queen and Country!

D. Garrand

Bretonian Armed Forces

Pat here. I have finally taken on the courage to fly the Bath once more. With a few escorts and two prison liners, I made my way to Edinburgh to haul some captured ecoterrorist ring to the prisons in the Texas system. En route to Planet Los Angeles, I noticed a large group of thugs battling the Navy. Thankfully they were distracted to even bother us, so our convoy made it to the destination completely untouched. Our next task was to collect some of our refugees trapped in Planet Erie. When our convoy came back, the aforementioned battle was still ongoing. They didn't even bother with us, so I got to sip some nice tea on my way to Planet New London. Pat out.

Hello, hello. Just arrived back at New London. Decently entertaining roundtrip over to Texas, Sugarland and such, with convicts up for transfer from Perth to there. And some people from Planet Erie back to Bretonia. We actually had a Merchant Vessel, the Gibraltar, help out this time. A pair of Hunters hailing from the Aegis Initiative tagged along, though I am pretty sure we didn't pay them a single credit. I suppose that was handled through the Merchant Navy's budget. Good thing they did, we arrived to quite the mess near Planet Los Angeles after all. Money for them, so they jumped right in. Rogues, Xenos, Lane Hackers, Outcasts, you name it. Small stuff to warships, in one lovely brawl with Libertorian forces. Almost made me feel nostalgic. Anyway, they were too busy to care and next to a Junker near the Badlands needing to be shooed away, causing me to take a small detour, everything went smoothly. If these convoys keep on going so smoothly, I might even stop complaining about them. S.C.

Ello lads, Goose here. So first, that roach infested transport we "found" floating in the scrapfields in New London is up and running. Mostly. Some bright spark called it HMS-Slough, tho. Leaks oil and engine coolant like a fountain. Oh and the roaches are still alive and well. Gonna vent that whole pile of junk next time we pass birmingham. Cause ya know, they deserve that. Second, gonna say i'm mighty disapointed with the glaring lack of Lager in Liberty. Not even a proper pub anywhere. And dont get me started on that watered down piss they call Ale. Oh, yeah almost forgot. Convoy was fine, no mayor hickups, besides one Inmate seems to have bonded with one of the roaches. Guess he took it with'em while disembarking on Sugarland.

I've just seen the news, and I've been on this merry-go-round before. That bit there about lane patrols? That's the sound of the wheels on the bus going round and round, and us going under em. The inspectors can look after emselves, but yous lot need to take my advice. Journos are sneaky bastards and politicians are spineless weasels. They're going to try and shaft us for this one. If someone asks you about the Lady Agnes or debris patrols, recite the coppers hymn: "no comment".

Topic: Updated intelligence, [EX]-Grenzjaeger.

I am providing a report on the extradition convoy to Liberty, executed 28th March 836, 20:00 UTC. The HMPS Tayloe took on deportees from the Brook House Holding Facility on Planet New London, then moved to Kensington Shipping Platform to rendezvous with a pair of Bamburgh Lifters that had been detailed to depart alongside. We were scheduled to meet a Liberty Navy guard detail in the Independent Worlds, then proceed at best speed to Planet Houston. Upon reaching Kensington, we noted the junction was occupied by four "Expendables" vessels (flagged [EX]-). Among them was the [EX]-Grenzjaeger, who currently has an outstanding BOLO for attempted murder and piracy. Those present included: [EX]-Grenzjaeger, Conference Zoner gunboat. [EX]-Staehlerne_adler, Conference Zoner gunboat. [EX]-Vektor, Vector Starfliers freighter. [EX]-Schlachter, Falchion Kress fighter. Evidentiary logs are appended below, however several main conclusions can be drawn from the questioning. The captain of the Grenzjaeger is Reinald von Glistenstein, a native of Frankfurt, Rheinland. Von Glistenstein claims to be an escort pilot and mercenary working for The Expendables. He claims to work for the highest bigger, indicating the October incident was likely on behalf of a presently unknown employer. He is solely responsible for the operation of the Grenzjaeger, and has not permitted others to control the vessel. He indicates he has served the organisation for an extended period of time, likely predating the October incident. He is a subordinate of an individual referred to as "Sparrow", who pilots the [EX]-Vektor. Regrettably we were not configured to make an arrest, particularly given the sensitive nature of our passengers. Due to this, and the risk of unacceptable civilian collateral damage from a firefight, we elected not to press charges and departed. Based on the gathered intelligence so far, it is my recommendation that an arrest warrant is executed at the soonest opportunity. As we departed, we were joined by Armed Forces ensign Chester Holt, who provided an ongoing escort. The [EX]- group pursued us into Magellan, at which point we were joined by a large security contingent of Liberty's 1st , 5th and 46th fleets, as well as the Bristol security escort B|-BCV-Turkey_Point. The detail was commanded by the 46th's Admiral Maria Uhmen, with the full escort consisting of: 5th|LNS-Phoenix [LN]Jack:Kelso 46th|Bo.McChow 46th|Callum.Hayes 46th|Maria.Uhmen 46th|Natalie:Cahoone 46th|Vincent.Jackson Fortunately, the transfer itself was relatively uneventful, other than the continued presence of the [EX]- squadron. The Tayloe was successfully escorted to Texas where our deportees were offloaded into LPI custody. The pair of Lifters then departed, where I am led to believe they were transferred to the ownership of Bristol Constructions. From there, we were dispatched to Pennsylvania, carrying cargo for the Governor of Erie, as a part of a Home Office diplomatic program linked to the repatriation of troubled Bretonian citizens. After the relevant discharge and transit paperwork was completed, the Bretonian Refugees were conveyed back to Planet Carlisle, and will now be undergoing an intelligence debriefing and Home Office evaluation for any potential historic breaches of Bretonian law.
