Whilst on long range patrols in Omega-49, the RACS-Karl.Marx received a distress signal from one Lt. Commander Baranov. Enemy forces had entered Omega 52, a Corsair cruiser-class by the name of 'biShi' to be exact.
After some hassle with a jump-hole not phase aligning correctly, the interloper was pinned down and crushed by the main batteries of our well-named flagship in the asteroids of Omega-5.
To be noted is the extent of Lt. Commander Baranov's bravery in the face of overwhelming odds, keeping tabs on the foe until fire support arrived.
For such repeated tenacity, including this incident as well as his successful attempt to distract a wing of enemy snubs from an attack on s superior... in spite of having sustained utterly critical damage, he is to be awarded the prestigious Golden Halo decoration for dogged dedication to the cause.
