Freeport 9 Patrol Duty started slow and uneventful.
When Kruger transport class vessels arrived to drop off Hull Segments, we found a common ground and started talking. They are also supplying Freeport 101 and their supplies helped to shorten our supply mission considerably. They even gave me some wine and were generally surprisingly friendly.
After that, madness started. Omega 9 operations went intense like hell. The Omegas are on fire, it seems, and Omega 9 was hit by a large group of Wilde and Alien ships twice today.
In the first attack, IMG Defense was too late to do more than helping in the S&R efforts. An order taskforce has brought a transport full of Marines for a boarding operation against that other base in Omega 9. It was attacked by a large group of Wilde alien ships and destroyed while being close to Freeport 101.
IMG crews were able to pinpoint the location of the survivors that were not immediately killed during the vicious explosion.
IMG Coko had some medical crew on board and we collected the floating survivors. The plan was to evacuate them to Freistadt base emergeny medcial unitl, but the Order insisted that we handed them to the Carrier class vessel. We complied.
About an hour later, another attack group rolled into Omega 9, pinning down our light patrol wing. We had to hold out until reinforcement arrived from the Omegas to attack them for real.
IMG Defense managed to destroy or damage many of them, but our allies suffered grievous losses.
