As promised the report on yesterdays assault on Golden Bay base
My day began with an emergency alarm that was rang on battleship Mississippi, or the ol'Miss, as many people onboard refer to the aged warship. In a hasted mission briefing it was made clear to the stationed pilots on board that a group of Rheinland warships of the RNC designation had intruded into the Texas system and needed to be dealt with.
We Mississipi pilots were sent as a support for the main LNS fleet.
As my turn to launch came, the situation had been dealt with and it turned out I was not needed at the scene.
However, another situation had come up in the meantime. According to the LNS communication there had been an unregistered base in the Cortez system that apparently sheltered enemies of Liberty. The base owner had been give notice and time to respond but as no response arrived I assume the Navy decided to act.
I entered formation with the main fleet and moved to the Cortez system with them. One [LN] pilot Jay.Wilton and myself went ahead to scout the situation before the main fleet would move in.
Upon our arrival at the base we saw a giant structure nearby that turned out to be a barge class transport that docked at the target base Golden Bay.
When the mainfleet moved in it did not take long for a group of freelance defenders to appear who tried to involve us into combat and distract us from the base.
Among them were CGS| tagged ships, independant freelancers and Reaver Mercenaries (Titanium and Morena). We met stiff resistance considering the base was not built by any large organisation or corporation.
For a while the attack was interrupted as bombers tried to attack and take out the LNS fleet but fortunately they could be defeat one by one over the course of the battle.
Eventually the siege resumed but this is when things started to get really weird. I do not remember the full extent of the bizarre happenings, but I will try to recollect as best as I can.
First, an IMG iffed ship approached and upon being asked to leave due to military operations attacked us (Guncam image, Guncam image, Guncam Image), then after it was defeated came back and started ramming our fleet ships. After this iteration was defeated as well it returned once more, with a slightly altered name "Corsaire~Pierre.Anvil" which looks like he wanted to dress up as a corsair this time. After attacking us and having been annoying and somewhat hard to understand for a while, as he was speaking strange gibberish, we managed to defeat him and go on about our business.
We suspect that this person was a severe case of the [url=]lawl's syndrome[/url] in an advanced and deterioated state.
After those two were dealt with the siege could continue until a gallic battleship arrived and started to attack us. Of course, we expected non-sensical things like this by now and dealt with the attacker swiftly after we gave warning and chances to leave the area without causing an incident.
Of course, this battleship appeared several times as well and honestly, if it weren't for the many witnesses I would be questioning my own sanity by now.
Anyways, after this was dealt with as well, the base finally crumbled and broke apart under the combined fleet's firepower. I had been in space for a very long time by now and promptly set course back to the New York system where I landed at Norfolk shipyard for repairs and servicing before returning to the Texas system and landing at battleship Mississippi.
I have to say this was the longest and most intense sortie I have ever been in my brief time with the Liberty Navy. and I enver expected that I would see such so soon after I graduated from the navy academy.
I am glad that the mission was a success and that I made it out alive. My flight recorder even shows 3 confirmed victories. (Guncam image, Guncam image, Guncam image)
