Entry 1 |06/12/825|: Battle against the Somers

A few days before took place a major event, can be a turning point in this war which we lead against the Nomads and the infected.

A pilot from the Lane Hackers contacted me in distress while me and my crew were repairing the SNS-Bering, damaged during an attack. He told me that there was something without the system Hamburg. According to him, Navy would have sent it a whole fleet of vessel in the way to attack the Rheinland Army near the station of Altona. I took then immediately my fighter and took the direction of the Hamburg system by the only Jump Hole connecting Bering and this system. Once arrived in Hamburg, I went to Altona by the trade lane from the old Jump Gate leading to Bering. When I arrived in the neighborhood of Altona, I strictly found nothing, except spaceships wrecks of all kinds. By following my instinct, I took Trade Lane leading to the battleship Westphalia. A few seconds later, I found the battlefield.


On the scene was present the Rheinland Fleet, or at least what it remained there: the RNC-Baden, as well as the RWSS-Fredegunde. There was also Zoners vessels, of which a carrier, Sparta-2. I have to admit that it was impressive. The allied Forces fought about ten cruisers of Liberty. In the face of this madness, my fighter was useless. Once the first two destroyed waves, I was able to see the flagship, the LNS-Somers. I have never seen a vessel so terrible. It was a battleship of class Overlord with phenomenal Nomads weapons power, and an armor of the new type who resisted in practically all our shootings. To be the most effective possible I decided to return to Bering, and to take my cruiser. I asked of course for the authorization to the captain of the Fredegunde, who friendly accepted the coming of our big ships in the Rheinland space.





Once my cruiser in Hamburg, Fredegunde indicated to me that Somers was damaged and it went now to Hudson. However, the Rheinland and the Zoners were not able to prevent him from going to the door, given that they still grappled with the remaining strengths of Navy. I thought I could thus intercept in time Somers before it jumps into Hudson. I asked to my crew members to move quite the power of the generator of the vessel towards engines. At this moment I had a certain apprehension. Until that our forces arrive, my cruiser would have to face the Somers alone. However, it was not the moment to lose. If this vessel escaped; the whole future of the Battlegroup Harmony will be compromised.


After a few minutes, we finally found Somers, only, in approximately 10.0K of the Hudson Gate. The Rheinland forces and Zoners were absent. Remote time, we concentrated all the power of Star Lance on Somers. The enemy vessel responded immediately. I had never seen a fire power so important previously. After several dodges, a shooting of Somers affected our vessel. This simple shot neutralized our main shield. However, it did not prevent us from keeping harassing Somers. After several salvoes, we reduced totally his main shield. As luckily, the Rheinland and the Zoners arrived at the same time. Very damaged, our remaining forces opened the fire against Somers to destroy him. But everything did not go according to plan. Somers activated its cloaking device. It wouldn’t have owed to be a problem, my cruiser being equipped with a cloak disruptor. But its system remained insensible in the cloak disruptor. It was a total surprise!


The disappeared ship, by leaving behind him an even bigger problem: a flotilla of little Nomads ships appeared. From now on, I was sure there. Navy planned this operation with Nomads. This day was the first time when I saw the direct collaboration between Navy and Nomads. Once these destroyed vessels, we jumped into the system Hudson. As I expected it it was a trap: Somers was with a whole fleet of cruisers and fighters Nomads there. My cruiser suffered of heavy damage from bombers and cruisers. However, the threat was reduced totally.





We continued our doggedness on Somers. At least until that he calls for ultimate time the reinforcements, consisted of two battleships Nomads, of bombers by tens, and at least a Liberty fleet of cruisers and battlecruisers. However, and it was doubtless my most great surprise, two vessels of Navy arrived to assist us. Battleships Constitution and Arkansas. Somers tried to turn return them against us, by moving forward to eliminate «these Separatists ". This cry for help was very derisory and the vessels of Liberty stayed "from our side”. Somers decided to run away by activating its system of hyperspace. Curiously, this one took five minutes to bustle what, we thought, would leave some time to us to destroy him.




However the Nomads battleships assured a wild protection to the Somers, and we lost at least more than half our fleet during this only commitment. The SNS-Bering, damaged, tried time good that badly to finish it, unsuccessfully. In one minute of the end, we thought that the battle was lost. Somers was only damaged, but its systems still were functional.
Somers activated its Jump Drive, and Jump Hole appeared in front of him! It jumped. With the rest of our fleet, we did the same. This time, we entered the mouth of wolf. We found ourselves in a totally unknown system. Nomads waited for us once again with dozens of bombers. With the rest of our strengths, only six or eight vessels we engaged. Jump Hole closed behind us, we were trapped. The despair and the anxiety began be felt. Maybe finally we fought something which overtook us? The SNS-Bering was severely damaged by several bombers. After several endless minutes, Nomads squadrons were destroyed.




We found the Somers trapped and alone. Our strengths, in an ultimate attempt went to him to finish it with this madness. Somers began to be seriously damaged. We fired at point-blank range. And then I noticed something strange: Somers was evacuating its cargo. I immediately ordered to get back it as much as possible. I do not know if we had had an enormous luck but Somers tried last time to avoid by creating new Jump Hole in the direction of Hudson. We jumped with him. Forced, Somers eventually explodes finally. SNS-Bering returned tour Home, and is operational day. And the invaluable cargo from Somers, in security…
