New Lusitania

[Lusitano]

* A convoy arrive to Gran Canaria. his time wasn't only the Nau and some escort. This time was the Nau and 3 more Whales that helped us, and the escort was the Lusitano, the Rabelo and also the Caravela that left Livadia. But this convoy had another ship, but on the hangars of the Lusitano.

After some drops, the 4 Whales toke 16.ooo passengers! Everything seemed fine until we passed Planet Gammu, between us and the jump hole to Omicron 7, they were waiting for us. A large number of fighters and 3 gunboats charged the transports. They didn't care about the escort, only the transports. The escort ships started to shoot then, they didn't care about thenselves, they only care about destroying the transports. It was a turkey shoot but they were too many and some manage to hit the transports, but we weren't alone, one order Hathor camed to the rescue. It camed in a good time because also the Nomads got some reinforcements, but very big ones. Not only more Labraid and Sascya, but also some bombers, the Adad, and one Irra cruiser. Again they didnt care about the escort, only the transports. The escorts made what they could, while the transports tried to evade to the safety of Omicron 74. It was hard! Some transports become to be damaged, but ... tragedy! The Hathor already suffered some damage, she protected the transports from torpedos, with her self! She took the hits, but she was flying until ... the Irra managed to fire one last shot before been destroyed by the Lusitano and ... the unknow Hathorto protect the transport carrying 4000 people toke the hit! When all Nomads ships destroyed and the transports safe on Om74, the Lusitano took the very cripple Hathor on her hangars. All crew were death except one but with over 60% of his body burned with second and third burns!

There was no more incidents! New Lusitania has more 16.000 guests, with the 4000 on a early voyage, 20.000 joined to the more than 45.000 Order refugees. The survivor has taken to the hospital where he will be submitted to a surgery, to receive skin implants and 2 lungs!

Even with the destruction of the Hathor, it could be worse! We managed to convince the captains of the other Whales to repeat again on another day!

It was a very different Christmas day but ... on Sirius ... there is not time for Christmas!*
