To begin.
1st Event. The Vessel TANIO attempted to breach the blockade, after some discussion, mostly proclamations not to understand the language, I ordered the vessel to turn back or die. At this time only did the vessel obey my commands and return.
However not much later, with Hauptgefreiter Chezberg having taken command we encountered the vessel again attempting to smuggle Artifacts, this time no amount of convincing could deter the pilot and Hauptgefreiter Chezberg ordered the vessel destroyed, I fired the first shot bringing down the shields and the Hauptgefreiter completed the job with a second shot. I beleive the pilot may not have encountered Supernova cannons before.
Later on Hauptgefreiter formed us up, intelligence had led to the Aurora's location! On the way we encountered, and destroyed, a Hessian Gunboat, the RHA I beleive it was called. Continuing on after rearmament and repairs we engaged the Aurora alone! She had no escorts and after taking some damage fled back to Texas! However after inflicting further damage and having her near the point of her destruction a vessel arrived unnoticed and stocked her full of Batteries and Bots, at this time a large number of Liberty vessels and fighters arrived and the Hauptgefreiter ordered us to recall, in itself quite an adventure.
After that we proceeded to conduct combat training under his direction. This is where this report ends.
Personal Note: Our attack on the Aurora can only be considered a victory, despite later support we inflicted crippling damage and forced the vessel to retreat back to Liberty space in order to survive. But to sweeten the deal both the Hauptgefreiter and myself survived the encounter!
In the darkening lights of Sirius space even the dead need a voice, even the dead need respect. And more importantly, the dead need to be taken home: Undertaker, Steward of the ++Tombship++
