Buenas dias to the High Command
as per direct order from High Commander Eros Galanis I am submitting my report on the violent incident that took place in the outskirts of the Munich system -
given my position as highest ranking officer in active duty of the warship "DTR-CNS>Escorial". The Capitan is currently indisposed,
needing immediate medical care. The ship suffered a near-direct hit to our bridge section.
Excuse me, I was getting ahead of events.
While being headed for the Munich system alongside our compadres in their battleship "DTR-CNS>Obstinate", we encountered a warband
of equal size, brothers and sisters of the Corsair Empire: The Dreadnoughts "BFC|CNS-Imperador" and "Fisar":
As I am not privy to the communication of my Capitan and his peers of rank,
I can only report of the merging of the warbands and the joined voyage to Munich.
There we encountered a tremendous amount of enemies!
The Rheinland Military reacted to our presence almost immediately, mustering warships and even the support of Bounty Hunters calling themselves a deviation of the term "Hitman".
And as we hastily accumulated some handsome loot and prepared for a safe exit,
the scanners of our then de-facto flagship "Imperador" picked up an anomaly in their formation:
Their (presumed) Admiral's warship the "Admiral.Krotchofe" was far in front, making haste after us alone.
The consensus of the Capitan's was clear: Utilize this lucky coincidence!
We caught the Rheinland leviathan right at the Munich-Xi-Jumphole and gave turbulent chase.
Near the sun we finally caught up, impaired and then dissected it. The "DTR-CNS>Obstinate" ensured itself the honor of delivering the final salvo!
But the time it took to bring the Admiral's warship down, allowed them to catch up to us.
The situation was utmost dire and too chaotic to even get a decent hold on the definite amount of enemy warships:
The flotilla of the RM was accompanied by a almost literal swarm of Bounty Hunters
we were outnumbered almost two-to-one. Flight seemed to be no option and again the Capitan's decided almost immediately in unison:
Stand and fight!
We did... And the fact that I am committing the support and not my superior in rank might be the clearest sign of the outcome.
In this uneven battle it was possible for our warband to at least decimate the present pesky Bounty Hunters to half their fighter swarm.
Alas, not only the ship I serve on received significant damage, the other three warships fared no better.
We were not able to find victory, moreover had to accept defeat and retreat...
I implore in the High Command to not sanction my Capitan for the failure of facilitating a more favourable outcome.
After extensive repairs, our warship can be returned to active duty, I am sure of this!
