Today in the skies above Crete, our home-defense fleet, aided by the Cimitarra Company, engaged a raiding force, composed and orchestrated by the corrupted minds and people of Malta. The combined skill and firepower of our 2 fleets was enough to repel this new pathetic attempt from Malta to injure our nation.
Overall our forces suffered moderate losses, with 3 battlecruisers destroyed, and heavy damage sustained to my ship, and the CNS-Diablo Inferno. Both ships have been admitted to repairs on Tripoli and Rhodes. For the Outcasts, we have deduced that they lost 5 capital ships and one Gunboat, but more accurate information may come to light as we pick through the wreckage for anything valuable.
Our Praefect cruisers performed excellently, first holding off the Maltese until reinforcements arrived, and then leading the charge when the time to counter attack came. Our battleships also proved their worth, being responsible for most of the damage done to enemy capitals, and even the Prox participated in the defense.
In conclusion, we bore witness to yet another clash between our forces, and another demonstration of our Imperio's strength and resilience. We repelled the enemies forces, and helped avenge a few of those who have died in the defense of our nation, and the Cimitarra Company continues to earn and wear its reputation with pride. The Outcasts and their traitorous allies may have struck at our Empire at Freeport Nine, at Reincarnation, and now once again in Gamma, but we have stood strong, and will continue to do so for as long as there are foes foolish enough to oppose us.
