Torval: Cycle 266: FUC Turns Tail & Flees from Battle for Oto

In a move that allegedly required Senator Patreus to be tranquilised to control his laughter FUC launched a major offensive involving their entire force against the Oto system only for them to promptly throw down their weapons and run away.

To celebrate this colossal disaster by the Federation Bitterwood Academy has been playing classical music over loud speakers with their Military Analysist & lecturer Cnaeus Poulsen saying, ‘Admiral Patreus and Federal forces were locked in the type of intense brutal combat that history books would be written about. However, all of a sudden, the Feds fled their positions and entered Senator Torval’s domain where they were promptly rebutted and their fighting force left depleted. I’m not usually a fan of classical music, especially works originating from Sol, but playing Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 to celebrate the Empire’s latest triumph & FUC’s latest strategy failure just seemed appropriate.’

An official statement from Torval Consul Justinian Octavius reads; ‘We are happy to have played a small part in the epic battle fought by Patreus’ valiant commanders that saw FUC’s entire plan utterly fail. We also hope that FUCs representatives will now be happy with our level of reporting of the events around Oto following their complaints last cycle.’

At home FUC’s attack had little impact and we managed to consolidate with a CC Reserve of 273. One commander received the Golden Brassard to mark their continuous contribution towards fortification.

We have shown once again the Federation’s folly but they are relentless in their misguidedness and we’ll be waiting for their next strike.

For Torval! For the Empire!
