Buenas tardes.

Outcast forces have succeeded in routing a Corsair and Auxesian relic battlegroup, and scattered their units.

Yesterday my vessel, the HS>Cerberus was scouting the Omicron Delta system, as a follow up on an expedition to the edges of Sirius. While journeying and surveying, we encountered an Auxesian battlegroup near Reincarnation Outpost in Omicron Delta. We were followed on our return voyage to Freeport 11.

Thankfully, while being tracked by the Auxesians, we met up with a member of the Legion, one L\-'Windigo'. I came across a damaged bomber and trailed it's path, however it called for backup. Our two fighters were pitted up against four Auxesians; TFP)-Avalanche, TFP)-Niloticus, TFP)-Emilia.Osorio, and TFP)-Atropos-1. Things began to look grim.

They focused their fire on my vessel, however I was able to dodge and parry most of their fire. Meanwhile, Windigo was pounding holes in their vessels with counterfire, and began to light them up, one by one. My vessel was taking heavy damage by the time the third one was eliminated, however, it turned and attempted to duel Windigo; a fatal mistake. By this time we had attracted a crowd of Zoners, and we finished up our business, and I patched up my ship. All four Auxesians were eliminated, and both our vessels were intact.

[23.05.2024 19:30:01] HS>Cerberus: ?: When all the Technocrats showed up it started to look grim.
[23.05.2024 19:30:07] L\-'Windigo': Simple target practice. None of them had the wit to try shooting at me for a change.
[23.05.2024 19:30:22] HS>Cerberus: ?: [chuckles]

[23.05.2024 19:30:41] HS>Cerberus: ?: Sure, sure Zoner. We'll respect your peace.

That was not all of the initial contacts that I received however, in my first contact with them. Searching for more, I returned to Reincarnation Outpost not to find more Auxesians, but Corsairs instead. They seemed eager to try their hand at attacking us, and so myself and the Windigo once again went up against six Corsairs. DTR-Calamocha, DTR-Poche.Miel, DTR-El_Cavator, DTR-CC>Miguel.Hierra, DTR-Mateo.Destello, and DTR-Hares. Drawing once again their fire, it was a similar repeat of the Auxesian encounter, however three of the Corsairs were combat freighters, allowing us to hit them easier than snubcraft. More Corsair capital ships arrived, however they drew the attention of the Core, who brought their own battlegroup into the fray. They left us alone, but fought against the Corsair capitals. We managed to eliminate all their snubcraft, and my damaged vessel rendezvoused with the HS>Pacifico. With the Corsair battlegroup eliminated and the Core sweeping the area, we returned home to Malta.

[23.05.2024 19:34:57] HS>Cerberus: ?: Oh. Wow.
[23.05.2024 19:34:57] DTR-El_Cavator: But I guess there wont be another kill for you
[23.05.2024 19:35:07] DTR-El_Cavator: Seems like you are on a suicide mission here
[23.05.2024 19:35:16] HS>Cerberus: ?: Even more keep popping up.
[23.05.2024 19:35:17] L\-'Windigo': I don't think so.
[23.05.2024 19:35:53] L\-'Windigo': Well. Shall we?
[23.05.2024 19:35:56] HS>Cerberus: ?: Aaand another one.

Hopefully this may put a dent in their forces and Artifact smuggling, and draw their attention elsewhere, to better allow our Cardamine networks to expand across Sirius.
