This is Admiral Soren aboard the AWC Chimaera. We have just had a chance to test the new weaponry fitted upon it. Worked magnificently with our agility. We engaged two SCRA near Freeport 4, funny how the IMG aren't hostile to them? Reputation mix up, eh? At first a Gunboat and a Raven's Talon. The gunboat ran off, sending a Liberty Cruiser in its place. (Speed-docked/F1d/changed character) We sent a request for reinforcements to both the HF and a nearby SA battleship, though we didn't expect much from the SA, even if they managed to arrive in time. We were surprised though, when we blew the guns right off their Raven's Talon in under thirty seconds. I had expected a bit more in skill from our enemies. After this, the SCRA fighter hung around and then retreated after it was clear we weren't going to be distracted.

Thus remained just the Liberty Cruiser, who had been able to do no more than put a scrape on our shields, that was regenerating as fast as it was being drained. Due to our agility, and the exquisite piloting of Captain Nautiker, we were able to completely prevent the SCRA cruiser from firing its forward gun. This isn't to say he did not try, as he did. But you could place a station in the space between the beam and our ship. Twice he fired, and twice he missed. Only his 4 Nomad turrets were able to hit us, and they were uneffective at penetrating our defenses. Meanwhile, our dual Infernos knocked his shields down, only for him to replace it with on-board shield batteries. Just as we dropped the shield a second time, an HF fighter piloted by Kestral Lysania arrived and aided in damaging the cruiser. The SCRA cruiser quickly showed the most well-known reputation of the SCRA. He ran. He somehow docked with Freeport 4, an IMG base, instantaneously. Again about the rep mix-up eh? We were able to force them out of the system, escorting the damaged cruiser out of Megellan to the Manchester system. Quite a large repair bill he'll have to forward to his superiors on that one. The fighter will need to rebuy all of its weaponry as well. A few minutes past the end of the fight, the SA's battleship, Las Vegas, finally arrived. And as usual, late.

We stationed the Chimaera out at Freeport 4 until we can get an IFF from the HF to allow us into Vespucci.

The SCRA seem to take a fancy to calling us a skill-less group of fanatics. I think its time we disprove that theory.
