Major Williams reporting for duty. I'm happy to inform you that the Echidna, a Crayter Carrier, has been placed under my command, along with it's battlegroup, the 26th.
I immediately took it for a test ride and linked up with the Tyran of the 248th in Tau-37. We made a move on the Outcasts in Alpha.
The Echidna suffered damage, as well as the Tyran. In turn, we managed to severely damage an Outcast Battlecruiser and inflict minor damage to another ship of the same class.
This mission taught me a few valuable lessons. I plan to introduce a few minor changes to the ship's weapon systems. Hopefully, in time, the Echidna will be brought to full operational capacity and it will bring the hammer down on our enemies, with me as its captain.
