subject: Defense report

Taking off from Akita I was informed about a Corsair attack force in the system. I took the trade lane to the Sigma 13 jump hole and half way down and I detected 2 Gunboats and 3 Bombers.

I immediatelly radioed back to Akita and Akamoto launched to support me. But before he came to my location one of the bombers fell to my guns.



After Akamoto's arrival we focused on one of the gunboats. He was heavily damaged when he suddenly accelerated to an impossible speed and simply disappeared.The second gunboat was our next target and it soon felt to our combined firepower:



The last two bombers started to flee, we pursued them and managed to destroy one more of them:



We followed the last one to the Sigma 13 system, but lost him when he jumped to Sigma 17. Two new Corsairs ship were however waiting at the Sigma 17 jumphole.

They refused my orders to leave the system and started shooting on our ships. we opened fire and one of them exploded in a matter of seconds:



The second one took some heavy damage, but managed to jump to Sigma 17 and cruise out of range. We set course back home, but near Gas Miner Naha a new Corsair ship appeared on scanners. Strangely enough it had similar signature to the one that was just destroyed. However as first shots flew by Akamoto's Chimaera there was no time to investigate. After a short fight this ship was destroyed as well:



Enemy casualties:
1 GB, 1 GB damaged
2 Bombers, 1 damaged
2 Fighters, 1 damaged

Allied forces casualties:
none
