Etheric here, with the after-action report of the capital combat near Planet Gammu.
Our combined Technocracy and AI forces - spearheaded by Hesione and the mars - clashed in proximity of Planet Gammu's orbit with a sizeable Core strike force, spearheaded by the two Bullhead-class battlecruisers Addis Abba and Bissau, composed mostly of several fightercraft and a mass of both Sturgeon-class and Pleco-class gunships. Present was also a Corsair strikeforce led by the Battlecruiser Vis and - apparently - a token force of Phoenix Zoners led by their flagship, the Hyperion, which seemed to have not actively intervened in the clash.
Below, the outcomes as I have gathered:
- The Mars itself has been severely damaged during the first combat wave, which forced her withdrawal towards Gammu's lower orbit: her drone contingent has indeed suffered multiple losses, as did both our own forces and the AI drones; my own bomber has been damaged during combat as well, yet I made it out relatively unharmed. Nevertheless, even with our sustained losses, we managed to combat the Core forces and deal significant damage to them. However, the Mars is currently in a disabled state due to the heavy damage sustained - I'll leave the proper course of action to the Council.
- The Addis Abba has been completely destroyed by our forces in the first wave of combat, with the Bissau sustaining griveous damage itself on the following wave, forcing the latter's own disengagement from the combat zone: its last vector was towards Omicron Delta, likely at Durban for repairs. Several gunships did sustain damage from our forces, although their screening firepower was indeed of quite the magnitude. It seemed that, after the Mars being disabled, they focused on the Corsairs - what resulted exactly is currently unknown, although they have attempted to destroy the Vis.
- Speaking of which, the Vis and her forces sustained heavy damage as well, forcing her consequent withdrawal from the active zone. I heard rumors, however, of Corsair pilots opening fire on our AI allies - yet that remains to be proved in full. In addition, a sudden ionstorm wracked the entire Omicron Kappa system - there is a rather high probability that the Vis used that as a chance to flee to safety.
That is all for the report. Standing by for further orders.
