A victory, and a treacherous retreat, were given to the brave pilots of Gold Squadron. Let me say the new recruits to the Revolution performed very well in these encounters and I recommend them for a letter of commendation.
First, a distress call was sent out by Lieutenants Katya Vaschenko and Zarevo Kaputski about a BHG Battlecruiser taunting the pilots while on patrol in Omega 5. During his debriefing, Lt. Kaputski said the captain of the battlecruiser was flaunting an incursion into Coalition space. Lieutenant Sotskov and I launched from Verde and made haste to the engagement, where the group succeeded in destroying the infiltrator.
After this some general patrol commenced in Omega52, with Lt. Sotskov docked for the time being, a Corsair battlegroup emerged from Omega5. At that moment there were three Gold Squadron on, and immediately engaged when the strikeforce moved within 5k of the station. I quickly ordered a general retreat back to Verde when it was noticed the odds were three to one. All pilots made it back with minimal damage, and the
Corsair fleet, after some unoriginal harassing left back to O5, with Gold Wing hot on their heals.

Yes Sirs, that's eleven against our three and four fighters, three of which were gunboat class.
It may not be a resounding victory, but no pilots were lost in this engagement.
