Today during Omicron Alpha patrol I detected a Zoner Fearless destroyer, transmitting The_Crimson_Binome identification. The vessel was detected firing on Bounty Hunter ships. Standard scan procedure proved him to be in possession of the remains of the Spirits. Given his cooperative behavior, after he released the Spirits I showed him a door, or rather a hole, and decided to allow him to leave in one piece. @1@2@3@4
As soon as I escorted him out of the system, another problem appeared. Our scout ship, arrived from Tau 37, reported Council activity in the system. I headed to Tau-37 to investigate. After I emerged from the Omicron Alpha jumphole, I discovered two Council warships, a battleship [C]-CLN-Chardonnay and a cruiser [C]-CLN-Le.Ennui blocking access to the Omicron Alpha jumphole. They showed unforgivable impudence demanding Outcasts to stop destributing our Orange Dream and arrogance attempting to interfere with our Cardamine operations. After their expected refusal to vacate the area, I ordered arrived Outcast units to destroy the intruders. @1@2@3@4@5
Our bomber squadron destroyed the cruiser and managed to inflict heavy damage to their battleship, after which it desided to endanger the safety of Freeport 10 and managed to moor there. During the battle a CR fighter CR|-Eclipse joined the Council forces and was destroyed by our forces as well. @1@2@3@4
