Comrades of the Coalition!

Today I bring you news of the first major engagement that XKR Fighter craft participated in. We were preparing for a training mission when RECON reported a Corsair Battlegroup moving to Omicron Alpha. Under the assumption that the Outcasts would not fire on those assisting them, and considering the Corsairs were far from reinforcements we made our way to Alpha.

Unfortunately, the recent Ion Storms have destabilized some of the Jumpholes. Thankfully, Comrade Lanakov was familiar with the area and led us through the Sigma's into Omicron Beta and finally Alpha. Upon arrival we were immediately hit by an Ion Storm but we quickly recovered and arrived near Malta.

Oddly enough, the Corsair fleet was closest to Malta, with the Outcast fleet being closer to the Hispania. Regardless, I demanded that the Corsair fleet surrender and that they would be spared. Unsurprisingly, we were met only with silence and weapons fire so we activated our weaponry and engaged.

Halfway through the engagement XTF Forces engaged Coalition Bombers, and despite us telling them we're here for the Corsairs, they maintained fire. Going so far as to say the following line. Even after we came here to assist them.



Unfazed, we ignored the Outcasts and continued our attack on the Corsairs. Finally, we had enough, and fired on A Ranseur and a Storta, destroying them both. Unfortunately, an Ion Storm caught us off guard so the Guncam information for the Ranseur is missing.

The Ion Storms intensified, but thankfully the Outcasts were affected too. Using this time we managed to escape to Tau-37 where we returned home uneventfully.

Unfortunately, Comrade Ivanovici's Bomber was crippled when a lucky Antimatter shot hit her reactor. Thankfully, I managed to tractor in her pod before the Outcasts could capture her.

Overall, we destroyed numerous Corsair capital ships as well as two Outcast Capitals, only losing one easily replaced Revolution Bomber. An excellent first engagement for the XKR Series.
