Oswald Taker was Admiral of the 1st Fleet and the commanding officer of a task force formed between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Fleets that included all of their Airships apart from the stealth and reconnaissance type known as Wraiths which had been sent to Zephyr. He was responsible for forty airships and sixty strikers.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFan57VdBnN

Oswald, something needs to be done about the developments concerning the Grand Army`s Project Voltaire. It was bad enough when the High-Exarch of Luxequinox approved the initiative, but now both Elector Bremer Icicle of the North and Matriarch Vivi of Clan Yunta back the project.

A flying wedge of eight Light Cruisers from Grand Wings E and F led by the Heavy Cruiser UAC Ursa under the leadership of High-Commander Farren is to break through the circle of Torpedo Cruisers protecting the eastmost Light Carrier - which had already been identified as the VFC Nouveau - and neutralise it.

The GNA Seraphina had used...unorthodox maneuvers to avoid a barrage of high-yield Aerial Torpedos: the airship was currently trying to pull itself out of a barrel roll that was making nearly the entire crew violently ill.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzOqZaT7wW
