I got a report from a patrol stating that they'd spotted a Kusarian battleship and escort at Stokes Mining Facility.

I reported immeditatly to my Templar class fighter, which was being rearmed from a previous patrol. Once the rearmament was complete I undocked from the Derby and joined the rest of the fleet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fleet composed of:

The HMS Kent - Battleship class
The HMS Repulse - Destroyer class (Commanded by Captain Hunter)
Templar (Piloted by myself)
Templar (Piloted by Ensign Greg Edwards)
Templar (Piloted by Captain James Hobart)
Challenger (Piloted by Lieutenant S. Rockwell)

The enemy fleet composed of:

KNS Hitokiri - Battleship class
Ritsuka-kun - Kusarian bomber

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the fleet was ready, we proceed to Stokes. The Templars immeditatly engaged the bomber (I managed to hit him first and drain his entire shield before he had a chance to react). The Kent and Repulse along with Rockwell engaged the battleship.

Engaging the enemy bomber

After taking several, direct hits, the Kent's crew was forced to abandon ship. Shortly after the enemy bomber went down. Although me and Rockwell had hit the bomber hard, the credit must go to Edwards, who I, personally saw hit the bomber with direct hits to the engine and generator seconds before the bomber was shot down by the Repulse.

Me and Edwards then helped the battle against the battleship, we circled it continuously while dropping our mines. The Repulse eventually scored a direct hit against the battleship's that caused its destruction.

We then fell back and fortified our position around Leeds.
