"This is the aftermath report of Sous-Lieutenant Lachance, I was performing repairs upon my fighter due to some 'teething problems' with the primary weapons array when I heard over the general alarm system 'S.K.Y.P.E.' that aid was required, rushing through the remainder of the repairs I headed towards the combat site where three members of 'Le Council' were engaged with two of our own pilots in combat, I joined the fray and evened the odds, forcing the enemy bomber to retreat.
Ion storms made it difficult for either side to gain the upper hand when a mine from our side destroyed an enemy Agama, the last enemy had fled the battle by than and after regrouping near Dijon we called it a day."
Men and women of His Majesty's Navy, as I am sure you all by now know, Grande Marechal Lilith LaCroix resigned from active service recently. This is a great loss, as she was a charismatic and skilled leader, one who I am sure will be missed.
By appointment of the King, I have been sent as her replacement to command the Grand Fleet occupying and marshalling in the Borderworlds, and ensure the preparations for our glorious campaign are completed on schedule.
And to ensure said preparations are not interrupted, strikes against Council infrastructure will be increased, along with containment patrols, so as they may be kept trapped and on their knees until such time as our grand fleets are fully assembled. All captains and squadron commanders will be receiving more precise orders within the hour.
Our time is almost at hand, we must be diligent in ensuring that when we move against the enemies of the King, none are left standing.
Today I assumed my position as the Commanding Officer of the Perilous class Gunboat, Matagot. I'm led to believe that the name Matagot is from an ancient Fairy Tale relating to some kind of magical, and possibly evil cat. While I find the naming of the ship... less than desirable, I have no such reservations about the crew. While mostly new, raw recruits, I also have some seasoned veterans peppered through various sections, giving the crew some much needed guidance and experience that they will no doubt benefit from.
With minimal fanfare, the launch from Dijon proceeded and systems were checked and double checked. I'd also like to pass on my regards to the GRP and the Captain Obstinate class Cruiser, The valiant. The simulated fire-fight has provided a surge in self-confidence amongst the crew, an attitude that hopefully we can carry with us when we join the fray. I have given the crew 48 hours shore leave before we ship out.

Bonsoir,
I'm finally back to the Languedoc battlefront. Their numbers are decreasing while their desperate attacks launched against our forces are increasing. Marechal de Molay and I decided to check the way to Nimes station. As expected, a Council Agama squadron was protecting the area, so we engaged in combat with the assistance of Valbuena's Lynx, even resorting to heavier artillery when some random Brigand gunboat showed up. No losses on our side during this skirmish.

Submitting second battle report.
I took Lachance, Valerien and Valbuena to launch another skirmish around Nimes. From now we can confirm that the Brigands will be actively assisting the Council forces in the Languedoc battlefront. Again, we suffered no losses during this battle.

Bonjour,
I was called to an emergency in the Dauphine system today. The Legion were causing some trouble there and Commandant Giroux as well as Sous-Lieutenant Gaston were facing 4 of them and a Sirian. On my way to the battlefield I encountered a Police officer which was willed to help.
So it was Giroux, Gaston, the police officer and me against 5 hostile tagets.
The first target was the Sirian, it was destroyed rather fast and without too much trouble.
The second target was a Legionaire with the name Aigle, again not much of a problem.
The third and last of the easier targets was a Legionaire with the name Moreau.
The remaining vessels, the Legions leader among them, attempted to flee into the asteroids where we were able to destroy another one of theirs and a Sirian Mercenary that tried to aid them.
Due to the increased amount of Rookie patrols and something that seemed to be weapon platforms we decided to leave the place. We will get Du Sable another time.
Sadly Gastons ship was destroyed in the field. We were however able to make sure that he survives.

Message starts...
While conducting combat training exercises, I received word that unknown Sirian ships had entered the Burgundy system. I was ordered to cease combat simulation and locate these ships, and determine their origin and purpose. Eventually, the ships were spotted near Dijon Station, cruising towards the Nievre asteroid field and the Council base located within.
Accompanied by GRN|Michelle.Picard, we gave chase and found the smugglers within the defensive perimeter of the Council base. They were offloading their cargo already, and we were powerless to stop them. However, we knew that the ships could not stay long, and thus devised a plan to trap them as they were leaving the station and capture or destroy the ships.
At this time we were joined by GRN|RNS-Valois and GRN|RNS-Maginot, a pair of gunboats which had been diverted to assist us. Maginot spotted a third smuggler and gave chase, while Valois rendezvoused with us and took operation command. I proceeded to the Lorraine jump hole with Valois while Picard stayed near the base to provide up-to-date information. Sure enough, the smugglers finished their cargo offloading and left the defensive perimeter of the base. Picard gave chase, herding the Sirian smuggler Kobalt towards the Lorraine jump hole and our ambush. Unfortunately, he caught wind of our trap and took off in another direction, but Valois managed to disrupt his engines, and we had him caught. The Sirian smuggler refused to surrender however, and attempted to escape. I opened fire and destroyed the ship, a "Borderworlds Transport" freighter.
A wing of Council fighters accompanied by a bomber and a gunboat launched from the Council base to attempt to protect the smuggler, but soon after we finished off the transport we turned our attention to them, and drove them off without any losses. We recovered some wreckage from the Sirian craft for analysis, then returned to Dijon station for debriefing.
Signing off,

[color=#33CCFF]SUBJECT:Action report; 11th june
[color=#33FFFF]Bonjour monsieurs and madames,
Sous Lieutanant Bernard Carpentier reporting in.
Today, 11th june, a royal patrol found in Dauphine system a sirian vessel identified as a Kusari Naval Force exploration vessel. The guncam on my Lynx's nose catched clean pictures of the vessel.
The royal battleship GRN|RNS-Dunkerque was present at the scene. The brave royal pilots soon eliminated the so called 'exploration vessel'. The un-allowed sirian vessel was no match for our forces.
The vessel was callsigned [KNF-E]Kenkyu-sha.
That would be all to report.
Long live the King!
* Classified documents attached to the transmission:
I received a distress call from Bernard that a transport was under attack by two Maquis pilots. I rushed to the site, where I was to late to save the transport. The Maquis had to be destroyed, before they hurt anyone else. I proceeded to engage, and a fierce battle took place. The fight was even. That was in till one of them was shot down. The other, was also shot down, shortly afterwards. I suggest more patrols in the area be necessary.
