Well today started great and kept looking good but came to a disastrous ending. I am currently on California Minor getting tended for minor injuries, it was a rough ejection. So I'll fill you in what happened eh.
I went to California with my bomber with the intention of bringing Eddie Cassidy in for justice once and for all. I had called in Fireball to assist me in this. As Fireball was making his way to Cali, I did patroled the lanes to see if he was acively pirating. Instead at Mojave I came across a smuggler named Dash (can't remember the rest) in a gunboat holding 23 of our pilots. Of course I ordered him to halt and hand over the pilots but he chose to take off. I chased him around California until we got to Cali Minor where I once again ordered the release of our pilots. He declined, with the help of an Eagle named Vlad we began our assault. Part way into the battle Vlad was destroyed and I was left to face Dash alone.....so we thought.
Suddenly a "spectre" of the very same Eagle named Vlad undocked from Cali Minor and came back in. Well both myself and Dash were so shocked at the sight of this "ghost ship" eh, that all fire suddenly ceased. All types panic ensued and shouts of profanity issued from eye witnesses nearby. Both of us wanted to get this encounter over fast eh, so he dropped the pilots and left while I docked on Cali Minor
On Cali Minor I got my ship repaired and reloaded. At this time Fireball had arrived and was nearby with Eddie Cassidy and an Outcast also nearby. I undocked to look at my chosen prey.

Eddie's ID
After stating our intent and rebuffing his warning that he was a very capable pilot we proceeded to try and take him down. Well all the reports I heard were true. He's a very good pilot. We were getting close at one point, however, but he was very good. Not all of my SNAC shots were landing. Ultimately I lost my bomber to the Outcast who was on my tail in that battle.
