After action report:- 24/01/835 A.S.
Subj: Omicron Patrol

Good afternoon,

Brief after action summary of what was learned on 24/01/835 A.S.

Myself and Sakura conducted another routine patrol from Omicron Theta to Omicron Delta. This time we were using scouting craft having spotted heavy Order forces the previous day. It would appear today was no different. We encountered a group of warships around Freeport Eleven in Delta. Although the encounter from then on became more unusual. Initially we spotted three Order warships lingering in close proximity to the station, both me and my escort at this stage were running dark so were not noticed by the posturing force.

However some moments later a Corsair battleship identified as a 'Legate' class approached the station. Some conversation (comms traffic recordings attached below) ensued before the Corsair Battleship proceeded to engage the station. The odd thing initially was one of the Order captains declared the Corsair was under their protection, although this in itself was strange to me, things became even stranger when some time later after some exchange of words, the Order forces engaged the Corsair warship.

At this stage Leviathan had appeared on the scene and the decision was made to strike the Order warships, so we did. Although this also did not go as initially thought as some time later another Corsair gunboat mysteriously appeared and opened fire on us. It was at this point we decided to destroy them all, Corsairs and Order. As a result my documentation becomes somewhat fragmented as I was in the middle of combat. I believe the gunboat was flying Deterrence colours although I have no documentation of the ship unfortunately. I was advised later this was a misunderstanding however.

Once the hostile vessels were destroyed, me and my escort returned to Omicron Theta to link up with the Titania. We had intended to reposition into Omicron Delta as a formation, although on our return we later encountered Phoenix vessels clustering around the Freeport. Ones of whom then decided to attack the now vast Corsair force present in the local area. We opted to rig for silent running at this stage as a force that size regardless of affiliation posed an operational risk to the carrier. We monitored until the Phoenix vessels were inevitably destroyed by the Corsair forces as they were numerous, once that was done the Corsair fleet withdrew back to Omicron Gamma based on local comms traffic.

I did not record the individual ships themselves this time as we had to maintain a safe range from the large engagement and any imagery of the vessels taken at that range would not prove useful. We will continue to monitor the situation in the Omicrons as things develop. I shall provide further updates on this uplink.

Vengeance out.
