After clarifying engagement rules, H.S. Rancor entered Connecticut space for combat maneuvers with (Star Ship) S.S. Warhorse a Rheinland Crusier. Combat ensued for over five minutes and the H.S. Rancor overcame her noble opponent. Cpt.~OsoRojo stated, "S.S. Warhorse was a gracious and honorable opponent. The vessel was handled deftly and with energy. I am fortunate this was an exercise, and I cannot compliment her captain and crew enough."

Upon completion of the combat excerise the H.S. Rancor pulled into Manhattan for shore leave. Shortly upon arriving, however, operations was informed of a sighting of an "elite" vessel in New Berlin. Cpt.~OsoRojo negated all leave and set course to New Berlin.

The H.S. Rancor finally sighted the "elite" BS Bismark at sector C5 and engaged her immediately. The BS Bismark's force included the BS Strausburg (considered a miltia vessel), base defenses, and assorted fighters. Sadly, the H.S. Rancor was forced to withdraw, but not without resistance. A quick comment was given by Cpt.~OsoRojo of, "We were out matched. I knew this going into battle, however, let me state, this was a needed action to gauge all levels of the Kleptocracy's defenses. Our survival indicates the vaulted RM is not unbeatable, nor are they "supermen." However, to take an axiom from antiquity, we must be the David to their Goliath. In essence, we shall be a foil to their club."
