To HF High command
From: Captain of HFB-Vircruz

HFB-Vircruz responded to a distress signal from HFB-Silverstorm that it as well as other HF elements were under attack by a large force of Nomads in Vespucci space. HF-Vircruz arrived as quickly as possible and saw the Silverstorm engaging several Nomad warships of varying sizes. Bomber pilot Gruber and HFB-Vircruz assisted Silverstorm in the defense of Vespucci.

A back and forth firefight ensued. As the battle progressed, Phoenix Ship yards dispatched a Virage AISF prototype to engage the Nomads and pilot Aaron assisted. Several times both battleships and fighters lost shields and took heavy damage. Eventually, the HF forces started to get the upper hand.

With the Nomad forces receiving extreme damage and the loss of several ships they were starting to retreat only after the loss of several battleships and cruisers. However before the battle ended a group of Bounty Scum very heavy fighters secretly entered the Vespucci system. They engaged the Silverstorm and launched several spreads of torpedoes. The Silverstorm caught fire as the Bounty Scum ships retreated.

HF-Silverstorm quickly lost containment on their fusion reactor and several other key areas of the ship. Chaos ensued as the signal was given to abandon ship and all escape pods attempted to launch. All remaining HF ships attempted to tractor the pods in. Rescue operations became top priority, as the crew of the Silverstorm was tractored aboard all nearby ships.

And then it happened. Sensors picked up the fusion reactor aboard the Silverstorm going critical. The order was given to vacate the area. All HF ships moved away from the shattered remains of the Silverstorm. Then it exploded in a huge fireball of debris. Only wreckage remained. Pilots attempted to scour the debris field to find additional survivors. However none could be found. As the rescue operation continued, there were no signs of the Grand Admiral among the survivors. The search continued as survivors were relayed to Phoenix Shipyards for additional medical care.
