Sirs

I was making my way to Planet New London. As I came into view of Southampton station, I started to receive some garbled reports of Corsair activity within the system. As I came out of the lane, Lieutenant Commander Johnson undocked from the station. He too had received the reports, so we decided to split up and search, he taking the lane to the Planet, myself taking the lane to Kensington.

About half way along the lane I picked up a number of hostile signals on my long range scans. I dropped out of the lane to take a closer look, and called in the Lieutenant Commander. Five vessels, comprising two Pirate Transports, both loaded with Artifacts, with an escort of an Imperator class gunboat and two Titan VHFs. I disabled the lane to prevent their escape and successfully disrupted one of the transports.

Transport 1 . Transport 2

Lieutenant Commander Johnson soon arrived, along with Tom Milestone, a member of the Bounty Hunters Guild. We demanded the transports to submit their cargoes for destruction, which they refused. We were left with no choice but to engage. The first transport fell to our guns



but the second was able to evade us and escape, also slipping past the HMS Generation Windrush. A pitched battle with the remaining escorts took place, before we happened upon the second transport, although it had manged to unload its cargo somewhere. We quickly disabled the vessel. The corsairs attempted to retreat, running through the Southampton debris field, myself, the hunter and the Lieutenant Commander in pursuit. Soon we came upon what appeared to be a wormhole, which the corsairs entered. Taking our lives in our hands we dived after.

On the other side we found ourselves in Leeds. Two of the corsair vessels were far out of range, but one remained. This one we soon removed. What we then found surprised us all. An unauthorised base.

The Dynasty HQ

Lieutenant Commander Johnson attempted to hail the base, advising all civilians to evacuate. No response was forthcoming. With the Generation Windrush inbound, the decision was taken to remove the base.

Base under fire

Base destruction

We searched the area extensively for escape pods, but we found nothing. We can only conclude that the base was uninhabited. We then made for Planet Leeds for repairs and debriefing.
