Greetings, Arthur Dgahr here, my apologies to the high command, for not using my 101st flagged ship, yet the recent happenings of this month kept me from practicing the standard combat maneuvers when in a fighter. Not to mention the constant need to leave the noted ZOI is safer with an untagged vessel, so not to bring troubles upon the 101st as a whole, or myself.
There are indeed a few things that are needed to be told, one of the recent encounters with the Harvester units proved to be rather interesting, and as soon as the data is processed, i shall transmit it to the respective personal.
The current cycle was rather full of encounters, almost 2 hours after undocking from Ibiza i was assaulted by an unusual quantity of static caused by one or more vessels near Malta. Soon enough it all cleared when a scan over a smuggler in a Borderworld transport revealed corsair weapons.
After the pilot got rid of them, we picked up a Corsair raid wing in Eta, the quick reaction proved to be good enough to gather a defense group consisting of a few SOB members and a few independent Outcasts.
The raid wing had two Corsair gunboats and a Taiidian bomber.
While we lost three ships, the raid was taken down 10k away from Malta.
The day passed without many other conflicts before two more corsairs decided to fly through Alpha, hoping for a easy target..sadly for them, they were intercepted by a Gunboat, a Sabre and a RM-1 destroyer.
Hostiles were engaged near the Hispania.
One of the Titans flew right into a dragonfly missile with tragic results, while the other fled to Eta, then to Theta.
That does sum up the report for this day, still, the last month bore many surprises and a few i shall now show.
First of all, after following a potential corsair raid party, me and my wingmates soon found ourselves in Theta, where the comm units picked up a rather interesting chatter between some of the corsairs.
I do not know if the rumors are true or not, but if they are..well...some interesting battles are sure to come.
A few days after this encounter, another disturbance visited us and was taken care of.
This hunter surely took these fine fighters by surprise but paid the ultimate price, our and our Allie pilots were returned to safety short after.
A few days ago, sadly, i must report that i was forced to take down an Outcast vessel, the foolish man was sighted in Omicron 90 killing the Spirits and i could not allow him that. He did retreat back to Alpha when pressed, yet after he declined my request to drop the Spirits he had ''harvested'', i quickly took care of him.
Speaking of which, soon after i found a similar problem after i came face to face with a zoner capital ship class vessel. It had a Spirit in its hold that i requested to drop and to leave Alpha space as soon as possible.
The pilot complied and was soon on his way.
*he sighs* so indeed, a rather interesting month has passed and these are the more bright things i have seen so far. Hopefully soon enough i shall renew my training in the Sabre, but until then, it is still brand new and docked on Ibiza base.
