On the 29th, a squad of coalition soldiers led by Ivan Petrov went on a patrol through the Omega-47 system.
As we remember, Alvin Katz is still in extremely poor condition, and therefore it is necessary to regularly patrol the system in order to avoid a surprise attack. Having formed a wing, our squad headed counterclockwise from the center of the system, which means that the first place we flew to was El Aaiun Field.
However, when approaching the field, our scanners noticed the Corsair squad, which, apparently, was just coming to meet us.
I dare say that the Corsairs clearly do not like the presence of our Katz in the system.
There were equal numbers of us, and absolutely nothing prevented us from joining the battle.
There is little interesting to say about skirmish.
The fire was incessant, and it was tough. We rarely released our fingers from the trigger, because the Corsairs were extremely dexterous, and they dodged well. I believe that war is what they live for. And they do it extremely skillfully. However, asynchronous shooting, which turned an ordinary shot into a bloody flurry of fire, allowed us to shoot faster than they could dodge. And the stock of missiles was a complete surprise in the battle for them. One of their ships was destroyed, trying to play cat and mouse, getting several rockets in the face.
However, thanks to well-coordinated work and clear command, we exterminated the Corsair and returned home without serious losses.
I also want to note that during the battle several different ships were noticed.
One of them was marked as a Gamma AI vessel - (^|SCI-Research-AI
He analyzed the battle, and also scanned the condition of the fighters during the battle. It is not known why he needed this data, but the presence of AI in this system was ... surprising.
I believe that we should learn more about this and, if possible, establish contact with them. Artificial intelligence, which is interested in battle and develops medicine, will be very useful in the context of the ongoing wars of the Coalition. It might be interesting for SCEC. Additional technologies and artificial intelligence computing power are always a pleasure. Perhaps AI already has some developments.
The second ship was from some [GSE].
However, I did not have time either to analyze it, or to understand to whom it belongs. At that moment, it was more important to stay alive and not let anyone from my squad die.
The database also has no mention of this ship or its owners. The purpose of staying in that system also remained unknown. In any case, the ship did no harm, just as good. Therefore, I hope that this was not a bad sign. Perhaps the owner of the ship will someday contact us. Or maybe not.
