Today's a damn good day for the Guard. As planned, Me on El Nino, Thorn on Revenge, Beckett on Gorilla and Marte on Neofelis hooked up near Gate and proceeded to the northern part of the Barrier Rim. From there we made a quick flight to Yuma's high orbit that almost went as planned. Only thing that was messed up was, heh, everything. We've stumbled upon a Crayterian patrol wing: three Nyxes and one Hydra. Sufficient to say that they weren't too keen on letting us through.
Hell broke loose on their insistance. At first we charged their Hydra, the CR|-FV-Hysminai|666. Nino's punch with Revenge's aid was well above what that junk could take. It went down in flames quickly. From them on I've left clearing out their fighters to Mildra and Beckett, and proceeded to scan the planet in search of any suitable targets. The first Crayterian Nyx to go down was CR|-Arch.Duke. Mildra nailed him with a nuke. Further into the fight Beckett's Centurion's power went out for a moment, good thing he get away from the battlefield. It was quite a mine rain out there, I have to admit. Neofelis soon reported a total loss of weaponry, heh. She managed to get away, though. Next loss was on our side, sadly. Thorn's Roc finally gave way to those TEWs and fell apart. Good thing we had a spare room on Nino.
Then it was a trully epic scene with Beckett and two Nyxes making out on the edge of the field. I don't like such bullying though, so I made sure one of the creayterian birdies, CR|-Hawk, was neutralised. He soon for some reason had his ship disabled and drifted... Somewhere. Hell if I know. In any case, the last bandit, CR|-IS-Sentry, soon followed his buddies and went down in flames under Gorilla's fire.
I, in the meanwhile, located a few remote outposts and relayed their location to Beckett once he was done. He managed to take out a total of 4 minor installations. I dare to say that was quite a feat given he was on his own. A more detailed report about the damage will most likely be up in the news soon enough.
After that, we hooked up on Yuma's orbit and proceeded to get the hell out of there. We suffered no losses in manpower. Status of Crayterian pilots is unknown.
