Cap. Reyes reporting. The Alicante received order to change it's location. I decided that a stealth operation, without too many escorts shouldn't attract too many hostile forces.
Our route was Orkney (we were stationed at Kirkwall), Tau-23, Tau-37, Omicron Alpha, Omicron Eta (The target was Lentini base)
The miners seemed that they know about our arrival to Tau-23 and they guarded the Tau-37 jump hole with a Zephyr Carrier (Proton; Additional Armor Class 6) and a Pytho Bomber (Lock). There was no way that we could retreat in that asteroid field so we engaged them. The Alicante was severely damaged but our superior firepower helped us in this battle. After the Zephyr was destroyed, the Pytho was just a formality.
Unfortunately, we couldn't continue our little trip and had to retreat to Cali for repairs. We are waiting for some spare parts from Valetta. Oh and Cali is low on Cardi... maybe a few transports here.
