Omega 47 aka "The Long Burn"

Ross liked passing through Omega 47, nobody around to bother him. He set his course toward Omega 41 and went to the galley to make himself some food.

"Alert Alert Unknown ships inbound" The ship's proximity alarm wailed.

Ross grumbled as he headed back to the cockpit "what now".

He checked the scanners. Then checked em again. And then again.

"bloody hell?"

It looked like 4 Wraiths inbound, but that couldn't be.

"oi! you blokes stay away from my ship" he hailed.

One cruised up in front of his cockpit, spun around, and fired a minirazor right at Ross.

Ross instinctively hit the deck as the shot shimmered against the shields and shook the ship. "You bangers! go pick on someone else!" he raged.

The 3 trailing ships fired cruise disruptors, Ross activated the point defense system, but these missiles seemed to have a mind of their own, dodging the shots they detonated next to the engines, knocking the Rusty Bug out of cruise.

Ross looked at his map, he was a very very long way from Casablanca base and a long way from the Battleship Fes.

Closing the distance the Wraiths began to fire strange purple shots, mixed with green Rheinland weapons.
