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.
