Battle Report
Command,
I was jumped by an HF ship calling itself "Inferno" flying an Outcast Sabre fighter over planet LA. Admiral Greylin was in the system, I called on him to assist but my Avenger was critically damaged before he arrived. I managed to crash-land it near the base on LA...it'll be sometime before it's spaceworthy again though. I was able to re-launch in a secondary fighter after a brief interval. I engaged the enemy again, but did not fare any better: my ship received fatal damage and I was forced to eject. Happily, my escape pod was recovered, but I was out of the fight.
Admiral Greylin also suffered damage during the skirmish.
I'm sorry, sirs. I failed. I attribute my loss to the HF pilot's superior equipment and skill, and my own foolishness. I made the mistake of attacking him head-to-head repeatedly when he had the clear advantage in weapons, shields, and armor.
