While doing routine patrols in the Tau 23 system, My wingman ({SOB}Executioner) & I were ambushed by an IMG Battle Cruiser by the name of "The_Hades" & 5 CR mk2 vipers. I held the vipers off as long as I could while my wingman radioed for help. My ship sustained severe damage & I was forced to eject with my wingman tractoring me aboard.
Here is his report after the loss of my ship:
Sir,
As you know when we were in Tau 23 working on our Outcast guard reputation when we were ambushed by a Independent miners guild battle cruiser and around 5 CR-Viper escorts. After you had been heavily damaged and had to flee. I was in the battle alone, I was steadily dodging all I could, but as you know my Falcada can't even think of matching the speed of the CR-vipers. I was Dropping like a fly seeing my lights flashing and hearing the alarms of my ship going critical I thought this was the end. I looked down on my scanners hoping to see someone near. In my amazement I seen about 4 ROS-fighters heading toward the fight. They engaged in the fight and got the CR's off me long enough to try to gain back control of my bomber. After a good 30 seconds I knew I was ok , my hull and shields were back up , so I assisted them in taking out the CR's. We were keeping them down, but not really denting them much. On my scanners I see Izar of the 101st, he came in and joined the battle giving us enough power to take the CRs out. After we had killed all but one we were hammering on him but he fled the system to live another day which wasn't a problem because with his repair bill I am sure he got the message. I heard over the transmitter " Now its your turn Hades " being the IMG battlecrusier. The ROS gave the order to shoot him down so we all engaged him, this was my time to shine. Being in a Falcada armed with codenames and a Snova He was an easy target. We got his shields down then I launched an antimatter cannon into his bridge and left him with a sliver of hull. Barely holding on one of the other pilots hit him with a volley taking him out. I thanked the ROS and 101st for their much needed assistance. After we made sure the system was clear we all headed back to Malta to repair. It was a harsh battle, but we eventually beat them thanks to the ROS and 101st.
P.S: Here is a picture I managed to take of Hades being destroyed and also the names of the guys who saved my butt.

I would personally like to thanks RoS & 101st for coming to our aid & giving those IMG bushwhacking scum a proper thrashing!
