Subject: PRESS RELEASE HQ ESU 3RD FLEET : Counter
The glorious 3rd fleet once again defeated the facist NSL horde 3 days	
ago in the Grunwald  system. Heavy fighting left both sides exhausted.	
ESU casulties were limited however the loss of the Carrier Tiblisi was a
  
set back. Enemy losses however were more sustantial with the loss of   
numerous vessels. The NSL fleet disengaged after 1 1/2 hours of combat. 
 
The cowardice of the NSL Admiral can be seen by the number of fighters	
left behind. The ESU has a strict policy of offering quarter to stranded
  
crews. This was carried out and they are now POWs. Over  40 fighters of 
 
the latest NSL types were also captured. How long is it before the NSL	
realises that it can't defeat the peoples will by force of arms.
Following this third sucessive victory over the NSL the 3rd fleet has
had   
the honour of a name change to ESU 'Red Banner' Fleet.
