Tested the waters against those vile traitors today, and we proved victorious.
I entered Gamma and found myself harassed with 'Leave or be destroyed!' communiques. Well, that proved that the Brotherhood had betrayed us in my eyes.
I launched an assault on a bomber piloted by Banderas, but was attacked by Elder Yanez and an independent Osiris as well.
On advice from Lieutenant Baranova, I retreated into the asteroids around the Omega-41 hole, into which the battleship did not pursue. The pair of us then hammered into Banderas' Praetorian, my mines ripping some of his equipment off. Yanez retreated for some reason, after telling me to fight like a man! He probably had technical issues with his Titan or the like, but it was still ironic.
We then continued to pulverise the bomber, who fled to Crete, spilling parts all over Gamma.
I'd like to say that Lieutenant Baranova is doing a great job so far, I expect that he will go far in the Revolution.
