I commenced a routine patrol flight with my wingman beginning in the Pocono Asteroid Field at the New York Jumpgate, proceeding toward Bethlehem Station following reports of militant activity in the region.
Upon approach to Bethlehem Station, multiple hostile vessels engaged us without warning. During the engagement we confirmed their affiliation with a militant movement operating in the system. The hostile vessels were neutralized and we continued our patrol route toward Philadelphia Station, where no immediate threats were detected.
Shortly after arrival, we intercepted a distress communication from LSF pilot LSS|Spirit, reporting Technocracy forces operating in orbit of Planet Erie. We set course to the transmitted waypoint and rendezvoused with the LSF pilot. Scanner contacts identified three hostile vessels with the callsigns:
Following a brief tactical standby, we initiated engagement. During the initial exchange we successfully destroyed TFP)-Djarg.Ralar, however my wingman sustained critical damage and was forced to eject. I secured his escape pod and continued combat operations.
Additional hostile contact TFP)-Locksmith appeared on scanners shortly thereafter, while the assisting LSS pilot was forced to disengage due to system failures. Attempting withdrawal toward Planet Erie for emergency repairs, I was pursued by a Xenos-affiliated pilot entering the battlespace.
Reinforcements arrived in the form of LSF pilot LSS|Vrihedd, who provided cover for emergency repairs on Planet Erie. Shortly afterward, LSS|Redhawk joined the operation. With forces regrouped, we returned to the conflict area and located remaining Technocracy and Xenos elements engaged in combat.
Upon our arrival, the Xenos pilot disengaged. I entered sustained combat with TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe and achieved confirmed destruction of the hostile vessel. Concurrently, LSS|Vrihedd intercepted and eliminated an additional Technocracy pilot identified as Choctaw.
With hostile presence reduced and no further contacts detected, I withdrew to Planet Erie to report the incident and transfer the recovered escape pod of my wingman to medical authorities.
Confirmed Kills:
TFP)-Djarg.Ralar
TFP)-Bellamy.Crowe
(Guncam footage confirming destruction of hostile vessels attached.)
