This is a follow up from the last recon mission into Omicron Gamma, which concluded with little to no resistance from Corsair defenders. Who knows what they were waiting for...
Regardless, the previous "raid" let me lay down enough spy probes in the system to be able to truly identify the scale of the defence forces in the Corsair home system. This is in preparation for future disruption activities within that system, with the goal of drawing away the larger Corsair forces from other important choke points around their overstretched territory.
Knowing that during the last two days the probes would have likely gathered enough data to fill their hard drives, myself and Leutnant Becker prepared for a stealth mission into the heart of the Corsair empire. Herr Halse and two of his Red Barons accompanied us for cover, which was a prudent move as the very moment we have entered Omicron Gamma and disabled the weapons platforms, the Corsairs sounded a system wide alarm and proceeded to send out fighter wings, including one belonging to the infamous Benitez family. The Benitez wing intercepted us around planet Cella Dor, and began their engagement.
Needless to say they were outmatched, and the gunboat and cruiser they brought with them were systematically taken down as well without a single loss from our side. All this while I was able to pick up and download data from the spy probes placed around Skiros and the Omega-41 jump hole. Afterwards we proceeded to circle the system, passing close by next to the Corsair hellhole of Crete as we picked the rest of the spy probes up. The data gathered by the probes will need to be processed first, which might take a while... but we should be able to make heads and tails of it within a matter of days.
