Buenos tardes

The spreading of our Orange Blessing across Sirius never ceases. Our enemies are many, however.

I have led my battlegroup through thick and thin, and today the Corsairs were the main targets. There were three notable encounters in which I will make my account of.

The first happened in the Omicron Theta system, near the Omicron Gamma jump hole. My vessel, the Hyperspace Battlecruiser Maelstrom, had coordinated a strike with the Slavemaster.Hasdrubael. We spotted three Corsairs, the Rikana, DTR-ElGatitoFurioso, a gunship, and a Corsair cruiser with the nameSal.Salvador. The logs of the encounter are below.

Code:

[17.11.2023 23:06:59] Rikana: Enemy detected
[17.11.2023 23:07:02] DTR-ElGatitoFurioso: Hola, senor Malestrum. You're in the incorrect system!
[17.11.2023 23:07:10] HS>Maelstrom: CIC: Hmm... not sure about that.
[17.11.2023 23:07:11] Rikana: Weapons hot!
[17.11.2023 23:07:34] DTR-ElGatitoFurioso: Gatito is very sure.
[17.11.2023 23:07:44] Slavemaster.Hasdrubael: Cannibal scum on my radar.
[17.11.2023 23:07:49] Slavemaster.Hasdrubael: Moving to engage targets.
[17.11.2023 23:07:50] HS>Maelstrom: Jose: Hm. Care to reconsider?
[17.11.2023 23:08:06] DTR-ElGatitoFurioso: That might be wise, but not valiant.
[17.11.2023 23:08:10] Slavemaster.Hasdrubael: Are you ready to die, cretans?
[17.11.2023 23:08:25] HS>Maelstrom: Jose: We are very merciful. You can prolong your life on the plantations of Malta.
[17.11.2023 23:08:29] DTR-ElGatitoFurioso: We do not wish to die, but we would like you to leave our system.
[17.11.2023 23:08:34] Sal.Salvador: Hermanos are you having a party?
[17.11.2023 23:08:39] HS>Maelstrom: Jose: We won't work you too hard. Don't worry.
[17.11.2023 23:08:43] DTR-ElGatitoFurioso: So it appears!
[17.11.2023 23:08:56] Slavemaster.Hasdrubael: wanna finish that one or let him restock?
[17.11.2023 23:09:04] HS>Maelstrom: lettem restock
[17.11.2023 23:09:07] Slavemaster.Hasdrubael: aight
[17.11.2023 23:09:08] Sal.Salvador: Leave this system outcasts
[17.11.2023 23:09:18] HS>Maelstrom: Jose: Hmm, I believe that would be a negative.
[17.11.2023 23:09:21] Slavemaster.Hasdrubael: I'll leave it only with your escape pods on my cargo hold
[17.11.2023 23:09:25] Sal.Salvador: Powering weapons,,,,
[17.11.2023 23:09:30] HS>Maelstrom: Jose: I would offer you the same, but my men are itching for some action.
[17.11.2023 23:09:34] DTR-ElGatitoFurioso: For what reason have you come here?
[17.11.2023 23:09:37] HS>Maelstrom: Jose: We've been searching for Corsairs to hunt.
[17.11.2023 23:09:43] HS>Maelstrom: Jose: And you are the lucky winners.
[17.11.2023 23:09:49] Rikana: Come here and hunt then
[17.11.2023 23:09:52] HS>Maelstrom: Jose: Men, unleash your fury onto them. Por Malta.
[17.11.2023 23:10:02] Slavemaster.Hasdrubael: Por Malta! Charge!
[17.11.2023 23:10:04] DTR-ElGatitoFurioso: Well, you've found Corsairs. Don't expect a nice welcome.

[17.11.2023 23:15:55] HS>Maelstrom: XO: Drinks are on me.

The second encounter was in the Omicron Gamma system. The capital vessels did not find the targets they were looking for, but I did. On the Reaper class bomber Inferno I found two Corsair fighters, Rikana and Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]. I was assisted by the OT/C-Mora, a Falcata MkII class bomber. My ally and The Brotherhood Corsair dueled, while I with Rikana. Unfortunately, my accompaniest was put out of action. I was able to terminate Rikana, and avenge my fallen brother. The Brotherhood Corsair fought with honor, and, I hate to say, a skilled fighter. It is a shame he was not born on Malta.

Code:

[19.11.2023 20:03:33] MNS-Indespectus: Chenzo: Now Now, allow the duel to finish. I didn't step in on yours.
[19.11.2023 20:03:52] MNS-Indespectus: Chenzo: Fine, weapons free.

[19.11.2023 20:09:04] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH] was killed by HS>Inferno (100%)

[19.11.2023 20:09:20] HS>Inferno: Thank you.
[19.11.2023 20:09:24] HS>Inferno: Now lets get out of here.

The third encounter was on the Gunboat Achechador. I was with the MNS-Salvatore.Del.Mundo. I found him near Freeport 9 where two Corsair cruisers were threatening him. The DTR-CNS>GatitoAtrevido, and the Sal.Salvador. We managed to slay the first, but then an Order battlecruiser, the |>R<|RCV-Exusiai showed up and tilted back the scales. We managed to terminate the second cruiser, but at the loss of the Salvatore Del Mundo. Myself and the remaining Order Battlecruiser were at a standstill, and I returned to Malta, and was not followed out of the system.

[21.11.2023 00:53:35] HS>Acechador: ?: Until next time.

The Corsairs are getting bolder by the minute, but I was able to do my part in parrying their advances. I hope this will contribute to put a dent in their forces. My battlegroup will still be available positioned at Ibiza base, until we are needed again.

Until next time.

Por El Sueno Naranja!
