There was another incursion of Corsairs in Cambridge today. Numbers were small and there was no organization but there presence was felt. Agent Starr, Recruit Deschains and myself had just jumped to Cambridge from New London. As we were taking the trade lane a Capt Jack suddenly appeared on scanners. Both Deschains and I were already merged with the lane when Agent Starrs ship was destroyed by a hostile ship. Concerned I pulled us off the lane eh, no sooner had we done so, Capt Jack pulls out of the lane beside us. A Corsair Gunboat!

This Corsair was hungry enough to throw himself at the Dogs alone. As we were only in fighters against a gunboat we immediately set to work. Recruit Varron was already en route to our location while we kept the gunboat stalled by dodging and hitting his shields with mini razor shots eh. Varron joined in but unfortunately Recruit Deschains was taken down.
Now this gunboat had my ship as his target. I dropped the offensive and immediately went into evasive action with an occasional shot with my Mini to remain a threat. This allowed Agent Varron to place himself to the rear of the gunboat enabling himself to open up on the Corsair with impunity.
This was for from over eh. Recruit Varron took the opportunity of not being targeted to call in for reinforcements while continued to draw the gunboats fire my way. Senior Agent Bobafett and Special Agent de Virgo responded on comms and were proceeding to our location with bombers. We were warned that they were coming in from East Liberty and that we will have to hold him off. And hold him off we did eh.
I wasn't able to keep it up much longer as his occasional hit on my ship was still devastating and the swarm of grunts hindered my shields ability to regenerate. I had just run out of bots/bats when he stopped targeting me and switched to Varron. Well....... It was my turn. Varron immediately went on the evasive and I took his place behind the gunboat to give him a taste of my mini razor.
In came the cavalry, QCR's Mark Mcenna and John Redmond showed up guns blazing. Since the Corsair had already used up all its bots/bats out combined force was able to "eat" his ship apart bit-by-bit till there was nothing left but little particles, with the rest of S/D showing up to have their cockpits sprayed with debris.

But it wasn't over eh. There was still a Corsair in the system, hiding. We spread out to all access points in the system. Reporting all clear areas we are able to herd him to the nebula surrounding the JH to Omega-5.
We didn't pursue him in but waited on the Cambridge side. Sure enough he came back in and with an OPG too eh.
We split into two forces with S/D going for the OPG and the remaining QCR taking on the other Corsair.
We located the OPG near Cambridge Planet with our S/D wing coming in at different directions.

My part in this battle was brief to say the least. In the ensuing furball I turned around to lign up my targeting reticle on him just at the right moment when he was doing a jousting run. Needless to say my Manta couldn't withstand the direct firepower of his Praetorian, and I was just barely able to eject my escape pod.
Local authorities brought me in and I'm hitching a ride to Sheffield until my ships is repaired
