IDENTIFICATION: Robert "Lex Talionis" Miller, Commissar-Captain
SOURCE: Escape Pod, Near Kamchatka Station, Omega-55 system
SUBJECT: The Battle of "The Free Factory"

Comrades, I am delighted to report that I have retained some competency in a firefight since my 7 year absence from space combat.

Kamchatka's sensors detected a Corsair fleet moving through Omega-55 40K away. I was scrambled as part of the defence wing as I was on station preparing for a scouting patrol, however the fleet was not heading towards us. I remained in space as the defence wing docked and proceeded towards Bornholm to attempt to gather if any of the Junkers knew of the fleet's destination, when I was contacted by a Red Hessian wing already moving to intercept the fleet. Graciously I was invited to partipate and I proceeded immediately to their location.

The fleet was reportedly assaulting an installation in the system, "The Free Factory". This faction of the Corsairs, the Iberian Empire, apparently seeks to destroy the station. We care not about the station, however it provided a suitable distraction for the capital ships whilst we assaulted them. Their fleet would be crushed between the station's defences and our own waves of strike craft.

By the time I arrived the attack had already commenced. I joined their bombers in their assault of the Bacanaria, a Legate class battleship. I earned my "Hero of the Revolution" in combat with one of these capital ships so was quite versed in giving them a good thrashing. The muscle memory of bombing run protocol returned to me within minutes and soon we were splitting it away from its compatriots near "The Free Factory". Lev Zabuzko arrived to provide much appreciated additional bomber support for our struggle as the battle intensified.

The Corsair capital ships abandoned their assault of the station and grouped around defending their damaged comrade, however after an intense firefight maneuvering through enemy fire the Bacanaria was destroyed.

We pressed our assault, however this is when things unfortunately took a turn for the worst for myself. Snub craft began relentlessly pursuing myself as I attempted to assist a larger Hessian warcraft that had joined the battle. A Corsair Titan and, oddly enough, a Core fighter whom did not care to assault each other. I was forced to break my assault on the capital ships whilst attempting to defend myself, however the Titan was obviously one of their aces.

Whilst a Red Hessian fighter attempted to assist me, and I certainly gave them a run for their money with mines and near misses with my Supernova Antimatter Cannon, unfortunately my ship was destroyed. My escape pod ejected safely and I was blasted away from the battle, unfortunately not able to remain to ascertain the outcome.

I hope this report finds you well.

Yours sincerely,

Commissar-Captain
Robert "Lex Talionis" Miller
Hero of the Revolution
