Salutations comrades. Yesterday we have managed to push both into the heart of Liberty and Rheinland itself. The Liberty strike was a legitimite tie, with two defenders down but also two of us. The fault here was that we did not concentrate properly and were caught of guard near the Texas jump hole, but no doubt that will not occur on our next strike. Our forces consisted of myself and Captain Ares in Taiidan bombers, Lieutenant Commander Baranov in a Tiger Shark and Lieutenant Commander KeSi in a VHF.
We were engaged by a total of four fighters and a Liberty gunboat at first. Our forces were taking the upper hand as two fighters fell quickly, however something unexpected happened moments later. The balance shifted to the side of the lawfuls due to a preposterous appearance of a Bretonian gunboat in the heart of New York, which had used the chaos of the fight to strike at us with it's (// vastly overpowered) missiles. My bomber fell as I could not hold off the fire of said pursuer, and still being busy trying to shoot down the Liberty gunboat befouling us with it's presence. Captain Ares's bomber was hit soon after and the rest of our forces fell back at that point.
Cpt. Ares and myself commandeered a new pair of bombers immediately after our return to Barrow. Lt. Cmdr. KeSi's fighter was heavily damaged and required extensive repairs, so we have continued without him. Our forces struck at Rheinland after only to find out that New Berlin has cleared off shortly after our arrival! No doubt the defenders were too scared to even venture outside their armoured bases and face us in open battle. Rather than waste our time waiting for them, we have decided to proceed into Sigma-13. Apart from a few arrogant traders we also found there a single Outcast Falcata and a Corsair Gunboat. The Falcata suffered a controls malfunction during the fight, and we left it alone to be dealt with by the Wild in the area. The gunboat tried to run from our attack force, however to no avail as we disrupted it time and again and finally destroyed it with a few well placed supernova's.
At this point we decided to call it a day and returned to Barrow Base in Hudson.
In my opinion the day can be considered a decisive victory. Our losses were lesser to total enemy losses in the few battles we waged. I look forward to continue to destroy the forces of the everpresent capitalists, until there is nothing left.
