From: Raul Sanchez To: Commander Mia Bonello Subject: Patrol report
Several corsairs attacked Malta yesterday. Their fleet had two Titan class fighters, one Praetorian class bomber and one M26 class gunboat. Quickly i jumped in to my trusted sabre and left Malta. In orbit i was joined by few fighters from the SoB, and few RoS pilots joined few moments later. The battle was short and corsair ships were destroyed. We had one ship damaged but not by corsair fire. The SoB ship had engine problems and had to do a crash landing on Malta.
After the battle i searched the wrecks for anything useful. In the wrecks i found few pieces of corsair equipment, all inferior weapons, and several high ranking prisoners. The weapons were destroyed and prisoners placed in our holding cells.
Several hours later i found a spatial class ship piloted by an unknown pilot, callsign Xp. Pilot was hunting Phantoms and Great Spirits in Omicron 82 system. He did not respond to my hails and orders to drop the Spirit remains, and escaped to Tau 37. I followed him all the way to Tau 23 bu he prooved faster and i lost him there. Xp
I also found another unregistered destroyer during my patrols today. {O.C.}Chuvak was found in Maltan orbit and his transponder was not transmitting any information.
Captain was informed about our registration bureau and given one day to register. Only one day was given due to the transponder malfunction. I also contacted the bomber wing commander and told him to prepare his ships. Hopefully they wont be needed. {O.C.}Chuvak
