Sir, I launched from Naha and open comms picked up chatter of the pirate kind. I scanned the area and found Intergalictica Beastie, I decided to partol the area and locate the said pirate.
At this point two CR members entered the system, informing me that intel suggested a pirate was operating in the area. together we swept the system and finally located the pirate. On seeing us the pirate ran for his life. The chase that followed went through a number of systems, I was getting further and further away from my assigned patrol route, when the two CR guys caught and engaged the pirate, he was flying a gunboat and the two CR guys were making short work of the pirate.
I joined the engagement and helped to bring the pirate hull down to almost nothing at this point the two CR guys asked me to stand down. I made my way back to Sigma-13 and docked the old girl back at Naha. During the chase the pirate made all sorts of insults and complained that he was outnumbered. It seems when we are outnumbered it does not count.
On another note I strongly advise that we insist on upgrading the fleet when you are at the next meeting. I feel it's the only way forward to rid the profitable route of the vermin that prowl there.
Once the Sigma is clear I feel the pirates will only move to Honshu can we rely on the Honshu authorities to help rid the system of pirates there.
