The Corsair, who were supposed to get shipments of foods on our base, were ambushed by an Outcast raiding group on their way. 2 of the 5 tranports that were already loaded with food were immediatly destroyed. Falcatas and Sabres were overwhelming the Corsair escort, and the dark figure of an Outcast battleship could be seen in the horizon...
Crete immediatly received the distress signal from the convoy; one of the Corsairs finest battlegroup was sent to support the convoy. And just in time; the Outcast Dreadnought was already opening fire on the convoy, and the transports were becoming flying wrecks. The Corsair Osiris, supported with 2 Cruisers, opened fire on the Outcast dreadnought, whose bomber wing immediatly started to bomb the Corsair capital fleet.
Most fighters were destroyed, and bombers were forced to dogfight each others, when suddenly...
a Solar Flare errupted. Freeport 9 barely had the time to activate its shields... but we can't say the same about the two groups....
Nothing remained but flying scrap. There wasn't even a single escape pod... too absorbed by their fighting, no one noticed the solar flare warning... so many food wasted, so many lives ended... just like that.
