THE REAL TRUTH

"Citizens of the Coalition, recently forces of the Revolutionary Army struck a major blow against the Corsair Empire, elements of the Fighter Corps led by General Joseph Garcia ambushed and crippled a Battleship belonging to The Corsair Brotherhood in revenge for a past strike against the Coalition's Flagship the 'Havana'.

The vessel had been drawn by the Zoner Alliance's increasingly hostile behaviour and was likely onroute to purge the local population of Omicron 74 in full view of the treasonous Order and unknown AI Vessels, however when set upon by a Coalition Strike-Wing it attempted to call out to these ships to aid it but according to Revolutionary Army testimony the call was ignored by local vessels. The ship attempted to flee out range by the Omicron Kappa route, however the Coalition Strike-Wing proved too much for the Battleship without Fighter Support and it was crippled.

There is no word on the final fate of the vessel, but analysts suggest that it may be in a dry-dock for some time due to the damage inflicted upon it by Coalition Bombers. It is unlikely that the Corsair Empire will take no action for this retaliatory strike and will strike again soon, however it is unclear where or when such a strike may occur. "
