Description
When the Convoy got within range, they sent a message to the Colony giving a rough report on the battle which had unfolded in the Gap of Nalmros. Another Dark Elvish attack was repulsed, though with the loss of a freighter, over two hundred sailors, marines and colonists and her cargo, which set back their development in some fields for months. At the very least the entire attacking force was completely destroyed and a few prisoners were captured. The former slaves were thrown in with the rest of the Detentional Laborers to get them adjusted to living under Infrastructural control. The Dark Elves themselves were proving to be more difficult to break in and were of more value at the moment in terms of interrogation.

They had also captured a fair amount of artifacts from the Drow marines, which were soon presented to him for inspection. A mage had been brought in to cast some basic suppressive spells and to have them screened for really hostile curses to be on the safe side. The runic armor and shields of the marines was a fairly major concern, it was able to stand up against a fair bit of rifle fire. The reports about what drow bows could do were also not exaggerated. It was a shame that most of the stuff also had curses put in specifically designed to deture non Drow scavengers from using it. It would either have to be sold off to an arms dealer who dealt with the Drow or recycled.

Moreover there was the issue of firearms. The pistols and rifles that had been recovered had some comparatively crude machining (while often being being richly adorned), they were getting more sophisticated. Among them were a few rough duplicates of the Type-3R rifle, which, along with some revolvers, used paper cartridges complete with percussion caps. The Drow were progressing quicker than anticipated in firearms technology, though this still did not answer the question of how extensive these weapons were being employed.

Interrogating the Dark Elves themselves would be a time consuming process which he would personally oversee. From what reports Petrov had provided for him, on the voyage they had been acting oddly, they were lashing out a lot less often and a few of them were laughing. More study was likely going to be needed. He was considering some possibilities as to why this was happening but at the moment there was insufficient data to come to any hard conclusions on the matter.
