Battle has raged for the past couple of days. I have finally made time between refitting the Varyag and killing our enemies to finish this report. The Varyag has been in near constant battle for the past week. They started great with the assist of RHA fighters in the omegas and ending with killing Mafia Bosses whole crew when they attacked Wilhelm. After that, the combat has become much more sinister. A few days ago Corsairs made one of their more frequent trips into our homeland. The Varyag responded by taking on the whole war party. We where able to kill the cruiser flagship and cripple the fighter and bomber escorts but we took extensive damage from the fight eventually. We returned to Dresden for repairs and found them too extensive to fix at our outpost so we proceeded to Alpha to make use of the shipyards there. On our way, one of our allies was getting pirated by Phaedrus, he was killed without incident. We arrived at Malta and repairs went smoothly. I was approached by a ROS agent and was soon underway to help lead an attack on Crete itself. On contact, our small fleet did massive damage near the planet Crete. The Varyag took on the Osiris BS |Lee| forcing it to flee after pummeling its hull with the help of the ROS bomber Vengence. The battle turned to our favor after that until The BS returned after its shields came back, and with the cursed Banderas help knocked out the Varyag. Our fine ship was towed back to Malta after the battle and with the help of grateful outcast, brought back to fighting condition. We returned to Dresden after the refit only to find it under assault from a mercenary team and RNC Cruisers. The crew fought valiantly destroying all ships in the area including among the fighters the pilot named Homeworld. The remaining force fled to the BS in Dresden and cowered from the Varyag like sheep near it. RM Katharina Guntram offered her own ship in a one on one fight for the lives of the Force hiding there, this is curious because RM has never in my experience decided to use words instead of cannon before. It was refreshing to see such honor in an adversary. While the negotiations went on the Merc force along with 3 independent RNC Cruisers attacked the Varyag in force. We took all the ships down quickly, including the three RNC cruisers all named Hamburg//if you get my drift//, with the help of a new RHA recruit in an oden. He was damaged by repeatedly spawning fighters all named Mythic and had to withdraw. Eventually I allowed the surviving Merc to leave in exchange for the 67 Hessians in his hold. Landing at Dresden, we released our brothers and retired for some R&R.
Commander, RH Cruiser Varyag
If the name of the recruit that helped me is known, please tell me so I can add it properly to this post, he fought well.
