*BEGINNING TRANSMISSION*
Another day, another raid. We, expectedly, were the victors. A full report will follow.
This was a joint operation between the Legion and the Lane Hackers. The HFGB Assembler, Lt. Stratos, the Lane Hackers Svengali and Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and finally my own bomber, proceeded into New York and cunducted a surprise attack. Or, that was the idea. Unfortunatly, Lt. Stratos was found and engaged, and thus we were forced to come into the battle one at a time. However, despite this distinct disadvantage, we very quickly destroyed the LSF gunboat Maverick.
In addition to the many ships already in the battle, two mercenaries in fighers joined, and they were most certainly not on our side. This was a mistake on their part, as you can clearly see here.
Razor-X, it seems, had a spare gunboat. He attacked again; I wonder how his escape pod reached the shipyard so quickly, or how he gathered a crew, or prepared his spare gunboat for launch?
Then, however, the LSF flagship, the Goliath, appeared and began attacking. It was not looking good; The HFGB Assembler, already heavily damaged by the Bomber Maximus, was damaged and forced to retreat.
All that was now remaining was my bomber, Svengali's Scimitar, and Ernst's Sabre. However, we still managed to bring the Goliath to it's knees. My bomber was heavily damaged, having been taking full fire from a battleship for quite a bit of time by now, so, in a last attempt to destroy the Goliath, it was destroyed. However, it was far too late for the Goliath. My Supernova Torpedo had already been launched, and the Goliath was reduced to a burning wreck. I am told that they were forced to bring in quite a few repair ships to haul it back to Baltimore Shipyards.
Meanwhile, my escape pod was traced by Svengali, and we returned home. A victory, then. We will be licking a few wounds ourselves, however, we inflicted far more damage on our opponents than they did on us. The Legion prevailed, and in quite an amazing manner too. We had a Gunboat, a Bomber, and three fighters, and went home with two fighters and a heavily damaged gunboat. Meanwhile, they had three gunboats, multiple fighters (certainly more than three!), a bomber, and an entire battleship, their flagship, no less, which is supposed to strike fear into out hearts, all of which were either destroyed or so heavily damaged that it will take incredible amounts of money and many weeks to repair. Finally, with merely a bomber and two fighters, we nearly completely obliterated the hostile flagship. All said, a victory. A very large victory.
