COMBAT DETAILS:
Well, this was an interesting one. During a routine patrol in two small two-ship groups through Tau-37, myself and Felix Jenkins came upon an Outcast Sabre (Hector_Savage). After a little chat, we engaged. He fled immediately and we pursued, passing into Omicron Alpha as Slip Ford and Marc Nolan caught up with us. Once in Omicron Alpha, we chased the Sabre all the way to Malta. The Sabre docked and two more joined the melee (Padre and Vultur-Griphus) but they quickly fled and docked as well. We moved out of Omicron Alpha in pursuit of a report of a slaver, but as we reformed outside the jumphole, the Outcast fleet descended upon us. The Outcasts had something in the area of eight ships with them, almost all Sabre's and a Gunboat, but this may not be entirely accurate. It was a bit hectic, to say the least. We stood our ground and fought. Three enemy ships were destroyed, though guncam images are not available for one of them. Two of our own ships were lost in the melee. The fight moved too close to the Freeport, and I ordered Highland to withdraw instead of bringing a battle near the Zoner station.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: The kill that is not pictures should be assigned to Alandria Soit Kale, who entered the fight a bit late, but on his first assignment, earned a kill. Well done, sorry we couldn't get a picture for you.


Transmission Edit:
I forgot to include another short engagement later in the night. Let me preface it with this:

I saw this coming, and after a short chat with our good friend 'Jake' onboard the Cassus Belli, retreated to Tau-23. Once in Tau-23, myself and Felix Jenkins in the HS.|CZarZBombcat moved to Java Station. The Cassus Belli saw fit to shell Java Station, and after a bit of back and forth with the Outcast forces, myself and Felix Jenkins elected to risk our lives to take the pressure off of Java Station and attack the overwhelming numbers of the Outcast fleet. Once again, this was a hectic fight, and there may have been more hostiles (infact, I know there were more, but I have no evidence to prove this). I am quite proud of the way myself and Jenkins fought. We lasted a great deal of time against overwhelming firepower, dealt a great deal of damage, before being forced to retreat by a electronics error in Jenkin's ship (//disconnected). I made it safely to Java Station, while my Eagle was on fire. After docking, the Super-Enine piloted by Slip Ford entered the fray, dealing a great deal of damage in a short period of time. Unfortunately, we were unable to claim any kills.

Of interesting note during this was the IMG mining ship MS-Chanticleer, who attempted to aid the Outcasts. Though he did not fire, he verbally berated us, tried to shut us out from Java Station, and claimed that he had a brother who trades in Slaves.
