While we were scouting the system, we headed to Battleship "La Riche", which opened fire right away.
Since we had to seek and destroy 5 GRN crafts and tractor their pilots my best guess do find some "friends" would be around Planet Sanday.
We encoutered a bunch of fighters and 2 Gunboats against which we had to request assistance from our commanding officers.
Finally we managed to take them all down, collected the remaining pilots and headed back home.
But instead of taking the longer but safer route, our commanding officers wanted to fly thru Newcastle, heading for a system I'd like to avoid as much as possible...
Drake... I remember flying thru a while ago and no, it's not the nicest place to be.
We managed to gather some intel about one of their installations which was supposedly built to make "visitors" think of a way out. but it was just a jumpgate-shaped-weapons platform (see 3 last Pictures)
After heading for the real Jumpgate, dodging the missiles and shots of some weapons platforms, we finally made it to Coronado to report.
