After a long time of absence I was re-positioned in the front lines. Today Kogomi, Anders and Chavez James began the standard patrol. They were send forward to identify any possible targets for destruction and pin them down so the Last Sunrise would strike them. The Sunrise met a pirate blockade while proceeding to it's destination at the California gate in Magellan harassing civilians but they were immidiately dispatched and one remained behind to stall us.
The scout force spotted a lone battlecruiser and a Junker IFF'd strikecraft near the New York jumpgate and the Last Sunrise quickly moved in and destroyed LNS-Hannibal while leave the Junker to the rest.
Shortly after there was a large fleet approaching us and Sunrise proceeded to Texas where Polyphemus was placed. I then assumed command and along with Kogomi, Raptor and Anders we prepared for the inevitable battle. Unfortunately there were more than I anticipated and the battle was rough with two Dreadnoughts from which one was equipped with a cloaking device, two battlecruisers and a carrier. The battle was fierce and with Polyphemus taking hits from all directions we still managed to deal heavy damage to the enemy fleet. Their total losses were the experimental dreadnought, a gunboat, a battlecruiser and then again the damaging of the same battlecruiser(que) and several strikecrafts that were shot down in California close to the Texas jumphole.
