The path of Prospector

[Doom]

York was standing in dock bay 3 surrounded by Xeno's best fighter pilots. Their eagles, parked behind their backs, were being prepared for combat by elite technicians.

- Pilots, time has come to show the Liberty navy how strong we can hit them. It has come to my knowledge that Bounty Hunters and SA navy fighters will be conducting practice maneuvers trough out Liberty. They will start in Texas. Our mission today will be to attack chosen civilian targets near planet Los Angeles in California system. Goal is to lure their forces from Texas to California in a rush and out of their battle formation. Once scattered they will be easier targets. After we enter California system RV will be 30k above Ontario jump hole. When we all meet we will proceed to planet LA and destroy our target and wait for their response. Fly well my friends.
Any questions?.....No?.....Very well!..Roll call: Bernadotte!

- Oui!

- Milia Fallyna!

- Here.

- Rohen!

- Ya...i am here boss...

- Too bad that Tex isn't here..but he is on important mission. You will be briefed about it later. -York said. - Our ships are ready...lets take them out!

Only 2 minutes has passed and all eagles were in space.

- Set course to Ontario jump hole and enter battle formation. - York ordered.

Flight trough Colorado and Ontario was uneventful. Once that Xeno fighter wing has arrived at RV in California system, first target was sighted and wrath of mighty Xeno weapons was unleashed. All civilian targets were destroyed with in 10 minutes.

- Ok. Now we wait...Bad news travel fast. I am sure that SA and BHG fighters will be here very soon. York said.

And he was right. Not more then 10 minutes had passed when SA pilot announced his entering in California system.

- Start your scanners...Lets find poor bastards. - York said with evil grin...

Liberty navy fighters accompanied by bounty hunters entered scanner range. York ordered attack and whole hell broke lose. Shoots were fired from every direction. Missiles were zooming very close to Xeno cockpits. Fight was fierce. Unfortunately, Xenos suffered first loss. Bernadotte got hit with missile and his eagle was crippled. Explosion was immanent so he ejected. York tractored his escape pod only moments before his eagle exploded.
Explosion of Bernadotte's ship gave wings to navy pilots and they attacked even harder. Another explosion and Xenos lost another fighter. Milia Fallyna. Her ship blow up also after being hit by a missile...Rohen managed to tractor her escape pod...

- Now i am really mad, - York said - Rohen lets give them hell now.

- Ya...i was planning to boss...

- Same target and follow my lead...- York ordered.

Both Xeno changed the attack tactic and soon after first bounty hunter fighter was destroyed....They moved to another. One by one they destroyed all Bounty hunter fighters and it was time to take care of SA fighter. SA was the best fighter among their joint fighter wing, he tried every maneuver in the book to avoid getting hit by angry Xenos. Unlucky for him, Xenos don't fly by the book... His ship disappeared in flames minutes after it was attacked. Whole fighter wing was erased. Xenos have won, despite losses they suffered.

York and Rohen returned to Ouray with victory smile on their faces. Lost fighters can be replaced but news about SA and BHG joint fighter wing destroyed will be main topic in the bars around Liberty for few weeks.
