Subject: OPG Encounter
First off, i would like to apologize for taking so long to report this.
Mr.Pullman has filed a report on this incident already, but it was suggested that i file one as well.
And i agree with that, so here i am.
Now, down to the actual report.
Captain Jack Pullman of the Wolverhampton and I were attempting to pass through Omega-3, during a trade run. As is the usual protocol for HGL escorts, i went through the gate first to make sure the way was safe.
Three members of the infamous Omega Pirate Guild were on the other side waiting.
I immediately told Mr.Pullman to not enter the gate, and went back through myself, in hopes that the OPG wouldn't follow, since they had not seen the transport yet.
I came through back into Cambridge, and was soon followed by the three OPG pilots.
As soon as the first one came through the gate, he announced that it was an ambush.
Soon after i was engaged by the OPG.
The Wolverhampton was safely away, so i decided to disengage and leave.
I attempted to enter the trade lane, but they disrupted it, and i had to stay and try to dodge the shots of three Corsair bombers.
This was repeated several times, at different sections of the lane, so i finally gave up and fought back.
I have no idea how much time passed during this fight, but what i do know is that another pirate joined into the battle at some point. I do not remember his name, or his affiliation. All i know is that he was piloting a Corsair very heavy fighter class ship.
Mr.Johanson of HGL's security wing also joined the fight after my many attempts to leave, but again i don't know exactly when.
After another unknown amount of time passed, Mr.Johanson was forced to eject after his ship sustained heavy damage.
Soon after, i was able to destroy one of the OPG's bombers that Mr.Johanson helped me weaken.
Then, something i would never have suspected, the OPG offered to let me leave.
They gave me their word that they would not chase, so i left.
I don't know if the OPG will continue to pirate HGL convoys, but i do believe that they will at least think twice before doing so.
