Nova report in,

We just came from The Ring, New Berlin. Ugh. What a ride it was, I sat my ass off, no enemy activity was seen along the way, unlike our estimate - aside from the excesses towards the end. Considering our escort... Mr. Burton and our new friends went a bit overboard with the "conspiracy". Escorting Valkyries and other Rheinland manufactured ships is more like an expedition to Nomad Worlds rather than a normal convoy to Edge Worlds. So, we started assembling in the orbit of the planet New Berlin, our crew was quite diverse, besides us there were also Rheinland Military, BDM, DHC escort ships and hired Freelancers that Mr. Gunter was talking about. And also a lot of DHC transports with everything needed for Vega.

Nothing much to report, we followed the lower Sigmas as the safest route, and objectively fastest. Also, the possibility of running into a Corsair patrol in the Omegas is much higher than in the Sigmas. Upon arrival at Omicron Theta, we spotted a few Corsairs on our scanners, but all their signatures disappeared momentarily.

As we arrived at Livadia Shipyard and the Daumann Heavy Construction freighters unloaded faster than the others, we decided to escort them to Omicron Delta, why go empty when you can pick up something valuable on the way home? So we headed for Athens Station. Everything went without a hitch, but on the way back we met the Corsairs, as most of the convoy stayed on Livadia.

Our pilots together with Rheinlanders showed that the limit of Corsairs' possession ends somewhere in the atmosphere of Crete.

The battle was fierce, the enemy as usual trying to overwhelm us with the mass of their capital ships. But to our luck, we had enough bombers and gunboats to crush them.

As we escorted our guests out of Omicrons we proceed back to Livadia Shipyard for repairs, without any incident. Couple of armor works and engine calibrations will be enough to get my bomber back in service soon.
