I was making the Corfu run in my brand new container ship, and almost there I might add, when two [ELF] fighters began shooting. I asked, "Why all the hostility man?" and then Sir Wagsalot said that they had direct orders from Eris to blow me up. They were rather unorganized in their attack, but still managed to demolish my "brand new ship". Thank Bretonian Insurance Plus, for covering the cost of my ship, but not the cargo I lost. (grumble.. grumble.)

OOC: I am obviously not able to keep up with things at the moment, have holiday visiting inlaws right now. And of course this is when things really pick up for the faction. I will be on the forums primarily and try to keep things updated on faction status. I will open the additional viper slots that the president has requested so recruiting can continue. I request however that all viper pilots meet Hyperion before beginning combat operations. He is the CAGG now and he is in charge of training combat pilots in my absense.

Transport/miner pilots can be added indefinately, just let them know that they will be shot at a lot :)

its more fun like that anyways.

good hunting

I was escorting a new pilot, [CR]Artemis , around Bretonia and Tau-31 so he could procure the proper IDs, licenses and documentation to complete his induction to the military.

:unsure: That's when RACS-Protrectic-[CPT] began saying, in a most polite manner, that he is happy to see us. And blow us up!
I told Art not to engage and run back to Cambridge. Protrectic was pursuing us with determination in some sort of Cruiser. When we got to Southampton I was docking the trade lane to London but art was trying to dock at the station; Protrectic was right on his six and he must have panicked. Protrectic took advantage of his auto-pilot in impulse speed and made short work of him. It is a good thing that he was so close to the station because the Pro turned on me and began pursuit.

I evaded him with ease and docked at Cambridge. Just after filling a report I got a call from [CR]Artemis (Ricker Samarez). He was in the bar at Southampton and doing just fine. ;)

I have taken responsibility for his first trashed Viper and hooked him up with a new one. I hope he makes it pass basic!

-Noted, SCRA standings updated to hostile.

Thank you Doom and Dude42 for your excellent work in strengthening our fighter corps.

For future reference when a nuetral ship fires on you in Bretonian or Tau-31 space, combat pilots are to engage and destroy, only transports flee. I realise we had a new recruit in the mix, but if he's in a viper squawking CR recognition codes then he will be expected to fulfil his duty as a Colonial Warrior.

Effective immediately I am implementing an application process for CR. I will update this post with the topic where new recruits must fill the application out shortly. Applicants must be approved by me on the forums before funds can be given as recruitment bonuses. I want our two newest members to fill these applications out even though they have already been accepted.

This is captain Vladimir Abelard form Gunstar Croatica. Protrectic will be dealt by me and my crew. Next time he attacks it will be little bigger target then rookie viper pilot.

Abelard out.

**CAG Atalante reporting**

Today i was patrolling in Gamma system and i got very lucky to get some skyblasters B from passing smuggler....he wont need them any more.
After i took out the smuggler i went to make my final pass over planet Crete to chek out the things there. I was approaching the planet when i got attacked by one cylon. It was quite a fight but i managed to seriously damage its fighter and the he ran and docked on Crete, for repairs i expect. Around that time i got transimiton by Apollo asking me if i need any help. Since my ship was slightly damaged and i had valuable equipment on board i went to Theta to leave my equipment on board Gunstar Croatica and maybe even get some repairs. Lucky cpt. Abelard gave me both. In the mean time Apollo and his wingman Hotdog arrived to Theta system and we grouped at Freeport 9. From there we made final attack on clyon ship. After great battle cylon was destroyed. I have some pictures of battle from my ships computer.
I would like to give thanks to two brave men Roy Batty and Ian McGregor who helped in our battle against cylons. Picture says all.

Great job with the battle.

OOC Remmember that smugglers are only regulated in Bretonia and Tau-31. We have no authority or permission to interdict anything outside those zones. I'm guessing you just 'liberated' those from an NPC?

If possible, keep engagements out of Theta unless CR has civilian operations in the area. You can draw the Cylons into the sigmas possibly. I don't want nuetral traders drawn into the fight unecessarily and Theta is a major route. Engaging in the Sigmas will also make it more difficult for them to run and repair at corfu.

I would like a level of courtesy to be extended to nuetrals when we scan them. Pleases and Thank yous are in order, even if you find contraband on them, thank them for dropping the load. You may get less polite only if they refuse to drop of course-give them one warning and then pursue and destroy until out of Bretonia and Tau-31. As we are not a policing force I would like our regulation and interdiction to have a small footprint.

PLEASE NOTICE OUR DIPLOMATIC STANDINGS WITH ELF and Helghast, we are now 'unfriendly' with them which basically means no more shooting on sight-they should be doing the same. We are to monitor them closely when they enter Bretonia and Tau-31. Report any agression by either faction here.

Fnordnette hacking sequence engaged. transmission burst available in 3..2..Go.

Panicking make you go boom. Then all your gear is free to loot. Green recruit or no, you gotta go down fighting man. No respect otherwise.

Transmission completed. Fnordnette anti-tracking sequence started. Connection purged.

Looking into returning, maybe.

Emerald_Melody reporting in:

Omicron Theta survey complete, medium to high density yield found in Orinoco cloud. Recommend 2 miners be stationed there to adequately supply our needs. Corsair activity is relatively light in that cloud because of regular bounty hunter patrols. There is also the Zoner military Asgard Warriors, they seem to have the system pretty well locked down after our Cylon encounters. All is quiet and my hold is full with no one to sell to so far.

------------------------------------------------------

Comm ID: Lt. David Helion:

Disaster in New London:

Responded to a Distress call from the SFMF Horizon in New London. I was patrolling a very quiet Omicron Theta when the call came through. Apparently a mercy mission to Cambridge was under attack by a large Phantom force.

I arrived in New London only to find the wreckage of the SFBS Sierra in a high solar orbit. I found only a handfull of escape pods and notified SAR. An open comm transmission was recieved from Horizon being pursued by Phantoms so I engaged cruise to planet NL and was met there by a battlship class alien vessel similar to the one spotted in Dublin 2 weeks ago. The battleship was soon joined by an Order battleship and a bomber that looked to be of Reinland design. After ineffectively engaging both battleships in an attempt to lure them off of pursuing the Horizon I took on the bomber. After stripping the bombers sheilds a few times it retreated and I continued the search for Horizon.

The last transmission recieved from Horizon was a garbled mess, sounds of weapons fire and explosions, then static.

I searched the system for survivers and only found one-notified SAR.

After refuel I Patrolled the pirate holes and Trafalgar and found nothing. Scanners were on the frits as I thought I saw the bomber flying the debris field around Trafalgar for an instant. No Further contact with the enemies after that.

--------------------------------------------------------

Interdiction failure:

Intercepted a Junker vessel carrying synth marijuana. Pilot name Shamus refused to surrender cargo and ran. I pursued into Leeds and then Cambridge with some help from the SFGB Crickett. Cricket suffered navigational trouble in Leeds, I continued pursuit. The smuggler was lost in Cambridge when I encountered the SCRA Cruiser Protreptic-Telarca class. Nearest reinforcement was Artemis all the way out in Munich so I was forced to engage on my own. The battle was approximately 10 minutes in which I only got his shields to 50% once. Badly damaged I attempted a retreat but was gunned down, SAR picked me up a while later. There is an apparent relationship between London Drug and SCRA as they seemed to be working together.

After getting checked out by medical I had a reserve viper readied from Galactica. Artemis had finally arrived and we set out to Dublin to pursue the narcotic funded terrorists. An error in judgement on my part put the two of us on opposite sides of the system when I encountered the Protrectic at the Omega49 hole, I suffered thruster failure and was destroyed, did not learn the fate of Artemis. I recommend caution in that area of Dublin, high Corsair activity makes engagement tenuous at best.

Tactical analysis of the Telarca revealed it to be very much our own Gunstars-highly maneuverable for its size but slightly vulnerable in the rear. Close range strafing was the only valid tactic I could use. Possibly need a torpedo mount for future engagements and a couple more sheild busters.
