Reporting in.
I was joined on combat patrol by Admiral Jones through New York, where we immediately sighted a Black Market "Longsword" flying to Manhattan and then to the Pennsylvania gate. When we arrived at the gate, we were greeted by the sight of the "ZCV Dragostea's Lament", a Zoner Fearless-class destroyer. The Lament was immediately belligerent and began firing on myself and the Admiral, and we called for backup while engaging the craft as it escaped through the Jump Gate.
The Lament fled toward Tyrone orbit and was quickly reinforced by several Militant and TFP vessels, while we received our own reinforcements in the form of the LNS Daring and Gold Wing. Although the Daring was operationally disabled, we managed to rout the Militant vessels with minimal First Fleet losses. I will be entering my "Executioner" fighter for repair & refit aboard the Alma. Further reports to follow.
For the Republic,
Anna Rafferty
