Well, the OPG decided to try an' blow up an Outcast battleship that was down in Theta, 'cause it was blowin' up them ghost thingamawatsits. As far as I know, he dealt with that ghost ship an' then headed back to the freeport or mebbe stayed in the area. I don't really know. I went into the Freeport to git a drink.
Next thing I know, the OPG were attackin' this Outcast Battleship and fighter!
See attached files:
There were quite a few people there... OPG, Outcasts, and the Zoners.
I got a picture of as many as I could. A few ain't in it, other photos should show everyone.
I tried to git them all away from the Freeport, and as I know, I was the first Zoner there.
A few others showed up after it began to be obvious that the Corsairs - the aggressors here - had no considderation fer our rules. They wouldn't leave - they said that they'd only leave after they made the Outcasts leave - in tiny pieces.
This was all bad enough, but then they started threatenin' us!
An' then they started either missing at the Freeport a lot, or they started attackin' it.
Eventually, the Zoners and Corsairs started tradin' fire, after they started bombardin' the Freeport.
A Zoner Destroyer, the Emerald Sun, was the first to go. The fight itself act'lly didn't last too long, but a second ship was shot down - the Moonstone - jus' as we reached a ceasefire. An then the Corsairs laughed about it! Blasted cannibal jackrabbits. I bet it was on purpose.
After we stopped shootin', I told them to beat it an' go to hell.
They did the former, and I'm sure they'll be doin' the latter sometime soon.
