Well, since it's been a productive couple of days, I thought I'd send you in a little report. The day before yesterday Admiral McKenna, Liam Mackinnon, myself and the SD ship Surma engaged a large Corsair force that attempted to attack Planet New London itself. There were 4 corsair gunboats and a Praetorian bomber. Unfortunately my scanners seemed to have malfunctioned and there is no record of the ship types.

We were soon showing our superior skills, and a well placed SN shot took out the first of the gunboats. Guncam Image 1

Sadly, Mark then took a lucky hit and had to eject, but we were easily able to rescue his pod.

We continued to attack and first the bomber was taken out, though my scanners seemed to have malfunctioned again and no record was taken. Another gunboat then followed the first into debris. Guncam Image 2

Soon after Surma was also destroyed, leaving just Liam and myself. Thankfully a Mandalorian, Diana Blane, arrived to assist in harrying the gunboats.

The last two of the gunboats quickly followed the first. Guncam Image 3 Guncam Image 4

We returned Mark and the pilot of the Surma to New London. The admiral was uninjured and was straight into the seat of a new Templar.

Shortly afterward, two more corsairs were reported in the vicinity of Southampton. I jumped into my Templar, and headed there with Mark and Sam Windsor. It was an extremely brief fight, the two corsairs, obviously very green, soon took themselves out by flying into their own mines! Guncam Image 5 Guncam Image 6

We then returned to New London to recuperate.

The next day, while I was patrolling New London with Captain Redmond and Ensign Peacecraft, we ran into a few SCRA pilots who appeared to be harrying shipping. The first, in a Viper, soon fell to my well placed SN as his electronics blew. Guncam Image 7

The second pilot, in a Ravens Talon, proved a much harder target. He was also reinforced by another SCRA pilot, this one in a Taiidan bomber. They still proved no match to our forces, and the bomber was soon downed by several well aimed razor and SN volleys. I was lucky enough to get the killing shot. Guncam Image 8

Still the pilot in the Talon managed to avoid us, and led us a merry dance until he was finally destroyed. Again, my blasted scanners had gone haywire, and I have no record of the destruction of that ship.

All in all, a good couple of days for us. And, I have to say, a great couple of days for my Challenger!

Fortunatus out.
