Today we battled both in Munich and Xi.
One of our Donau patrol units got ambushed in Omicron Xi by a bunch of Corsair fighters, bombers and capital ships.
His ship got shot down and destroyed, but only after he jumped into Munich to broadcast a systemwide alarm!
We quickly gathered a bunch of local troops to counter their invading fleet. We had to act quickly so we didn't have a strategy.

The battle was very chaotic. That was for multiple reasons:
- We had to act quickly to bring ships together.
- They were coming in fast so we just charged in. Meaning there was no formation.
- As we couldn't really discuss what our battleplan was, we didn't have one single commander leading the fleet.
- We were fighting in a nebula, there was very limited sight of enemies... and allies...
However, the enemy didn't feel prepared either.
It felt like they didn't expect a fleet waiting for them in Munich.
Some Core members were present as well in Munich. As Corsairs were both our enemies, we decided to team up.
When all guns went blazing and there were casualties on both sides, we came on top and the Corsairs retreated to Omicron Xi.
We managed to take some retreating capital ships down, but some of them managed to escape and regroup.
We pushed through in Xi and attacked their last stand at station Refugio de Lisboa near planet Mykonos.
We outnumbered their last defenders but the station's guns managed to keep us at bay for a while until we made a big final push.
We took a lot of losses, but so did they even more. We proved even in chaos that we still make up a decent force.
