While on Leeds blockade duty, I recieved a distress signal from the HMS-Ocean, one of our battleships stationed in the Manchester system. Apparently a group of hackers, including the notorious Phate, were assaulting Newgate. Ensign Taylor was escorting a trader carrying military vehicles to the MacDuff, and there were no other personnel available at the time, so I ordered the ensign to head to manchester ASAP and went there myself to assist the Ocean. As I arrived, one of the hacker ships, a bactarian, was destroyed, most likely in the minefield surrounding Newgate, but the other two, both bombers, were still assaulting the Ocean. To minimise risk to the Ocean, and to allow myself more room to manoeuvre, I pursued the hackers out of the minefield, where I was joined by ensign Taylor. A third hacker bomber arrived, and their combined firepower forced Taylor to eject. I was able to take down one of their bombers, and cause some severe damage to the others, but the hackers were joined by yet more reinforcements. However, despite their apparent superiority, they retreated from Newgate and returned to Magellan as Lt. Lancelot arrived to assist.

The reinforcements which I was vague about in the main report were, in fact, a hacker battleship. The fact that this criminal group is capable of constructing and maintaining these vessels means that they may be far more organised than we currently believe. The battleship appeared to possess no long range weapons, and was reluctant to enter the Newgate minefield, to which I had retreated. However, it moved close enough to the perimeter of the minefield to allow the Ocean to open fire with its heavy mortar batteries, and after a few blows to the hull, it, and the other hackers, began to retreat.
