WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM FOR A TRANSMISSION FROM THE GOVERNMENT
*Static*
Dear citizens ,
This is Ryo Kase. With heavy heart I am coming now to you from the Colonial Radio News Service.
As you all know , several days ago , we received a signal from deep in Omicrons. It was a garbled message which stated that Minerva will be under attack. Our government and our people in the Ministry took this as serious as ever and we dispatch ISE and 53rd ships to dismantle any equipment that was used for research purposes and to save all the data available. While doing that ,a contract was closed with Hephaestus Construction to reinforce and to build more weapon platforms for Minerva. ISE units run around the clock to be able to keep up with demand of specialized materials. But it was all in vain.
Today , 23:15pm YST , Minerva Research Center was destroyed.
*pause*
Even with our Defense fleet raised and fight , it was not enough to protect them. The Outcasts gathered in the Barrier Cloud and they came in full force.
Alert Nyx and Pythos were in the air but the power of the Outcast fleet was too much. Meanwhile , a Defense Force was raising on the other side of Pecos and it was ready to set for Minerva when it was attacked. Reports name several Capital Ships from the Outcast fleet , mainly Ranseur class and also 2 Nomad battleships.
Yes , I know what I said and I will repeat it. Nomad Battleships in Coronado. Nomad ships working together with Outcasts.
The defense fleet started to take heavy damage and it was forced to dock , however managed to take out several of the Outcast ships but not enough.
As the battered vessels tried to reach safe heaven , the Outcasts and their new allies , the Nomads moved in for Minerva. Malachite was overwhelmed and stood as a true guardian against the Enemy Fleet , defending Sabah Shipyard.
The gunners on Minerva tried to keep them away but nothing could have stopped that fleet , especially since it was joined with Nomads.
They came and in a final act of desperation , one of our patrols engaged them. Brave act but no good result was to be had . They had managed to take several boogies , including a repair ship and managed to shift attention from the guns of Minerva at the right time , making a kill for the defenders.
As soon as the small detachment was lost , they once again focused. With the shield failing due to combined Nomad and Outcast weapons , a hit managed to find the Core Reactor of the station and an implosion followed.
200 personnel were lost in that explosion , not to count the rest of the losses that we had in the battle.
Never forget the heroes , never forget who our enemies truly are !!
We shall rebuild , we shall prosper , we will never be deter from our quest and goal !
For those we left behind.
