The crew of the Providence extends its apologies for the delay in reporting the recent events within our home space and the outer Sirian region, formerly known as Earhart. At the time, we were still testing the latest iteration of the Providence, previously classified as an "Interdictor" Class Battlecruiser, which has now been decommissioned after extended service. It has been replaced by the current "Fortitude" Bretonian Class Battlecruiser. When we were called to battle, we were awaiting the arrival of additional experimental weaponry to finalize our testing. Nevertheless, our commitment to never leave anyone behind compelled us to engage.
We anticipated facing significant resistance from the opposing forces. However, the reality on the battlefield was beyond words, though I will strive to convey the true scope of the encounter. Following standard procedures, we aligned on the six of our own New Jersey, and the initial phase of the operation proceeded smoothly. We quickly established dominance within Earhart and skillfully tilted the battle in our favor.
Chief Mechanic Joe Williams: " The ships engines performed very well under high level conditions and the main drives have not been affected by the intergalactic jump procedure. All reading showed normal even under minimal damage. Reading were much better then the standard usage charts for our own ships which we has been quite the surprise for us. We can confirm that the ship has been performing over the expected."
Chief Gunnery Sargent Almira Knox: " The new armaments provided to the Providence have behaved over what we have expected. The new loadout we have been given is quite the miracle and we were more then fortunate to have received the chance to work with such state of the art defense systems, that have put quite the major dent into the rather rudimentary Kusarian Fleet."
What follows is our initial assessment and data collected from onboard systems. However, what happened next was beyond our wildest expectations. After exiting Earhart, we arrived in Kepler with the "Argonaut-03" and ended up in a kill box, ambushed by Kusarian Naval Forces and Lane Hackers, who seemed to anticipate our movements. To say the situation became dire is an understatement. I'm doing my best to convey the full scale of what transpired. Although we managed to break free, we sustained repairable damage and found ourselves stranded. Those spared from the chaos regrouped in California and faced the Kusarians in Galileo for a final confrontation.
The operation ultimately was not successful. In the chaos of the kill zone, we lost the "Argonaut-03" to the Lane Hackers, although we inflicted significant damage on both their forces and the Kusarians. We captured some images of the battle, but extensive damages forced us to return to Norfolk for repairs. Some crew members required medical attention, necessitating treatment both from our on-board medical wing and the shipyard's facilities. Despite no loss of life and repairable damage to the vessel, the Providence is combat-ready, completing all necessary testing.
We apologize to the Admiralty for any shortcomings in management. Given the circumstances, we prioritized protecting our assets over the "Argonaut-03." We want to emphasize that the Providence is fully prepared for its next mission. We request deployment to address the consequences of losing the "Argonaut-03." We are committed to completing our duty, whether by returning the vessel or ensuring its proper disposal, as we should have done when first trapped in this predicament.
