Reconquista, escorted by Audaz departed Planet Malta for a patrol of the lower Omicrons early on the 27th. Reconquista jumped to Omicron Zeta, and began a patrol of the system. Audaz spotted a corsair ship near the jump hole to Omicron Rho, and we made best speed to intercept. Upon arrival, we detected a Murmillo class vessel CNS-luxXs. The vessel was apparently derelict. It was heavily damaged and unresponsive, but its shields were still operational. Reconquista made short work of the corsair vessel, finishing it’s destruction.

The patrol proceeded into Omicron Delta, where a Cryer transport was detected in orbit of Planet Nauru. The transport was empty and non-responsive to hails, apparently in a parking orbit. Further investigation was prevented by the arrival of the Nomad battleship Ver’ashan. The alien vessel was uninterested in dialog, shortly opening fire upon our vessels.

A freelance bomber designated Backpack2 that was in the area agreed to assist, and the three of us engaged the alien. Working together we effectively split it’s focus and destroyed it with only minimal damage. Special commendation to Ensign Moreno for his fine maneuvering.

I believe that the battle over Planet Nauru shows the potential of coordination between capital ships and light elements. The close ranged attacks by the bombers prevented the hostile vessel from effectively closing with Reconquista, who used her long ranged weapons to engage from a distance where she could avoid return fire.
