Ladies, gentlemen, artificial intelligences, and all that good frakkin' stuff in between, today the Legion struck a massive blow towards both to the Liberty Navy and Rheinland Military, managing to incapacitate no less than two flagships and a Rheinland battleship before regrouping unscathed above the badlands. The official report is as follows:
I linked up with the Incursus, Aethelu was off duty, so its rather.. eccentric, AI was online. We did a routine patrol around New York, with some odd conversation between various people and the like before sighting the LNS Arizona approximately 10 kilos out from Westpoint, harassing The Joker.
Whilst normally we would let this go unhindered, seeing as that Joker is arguably more of a threat than a single navy dreadnought, we decided to make an exception, due the the fact the Arizona has long since been a thorn in the Legion's side. I ordered the Incursus to engage and she inflicted heavy damage upon the Arizona before it managed to limp back to the Missouri and enter formation with the ship, and so our siege of Norfolk began...
I took my sabre above the badlands and took command of Ven'Gyr, moving it into position along with the reinforcements that had arrived, including Abbadon and some of Joker's thugs of all people. The siege lasted approximately thirty minutes before the Durangoshowed up. Due to reports of high Rheinlandic activity in Texas, we decided to move to intercept any forces moving through there.
Persuing the Durango into Texas, we managed to knock the Durango and the LPI's dreadnought Leavenworth out of commission. It was a furious fight, but when the dust settled both Ven'Gyr and Incursus were intact, and no worse for wear. We proceeded to Houston to find the LNS Iowa and the LNS Arizona already engaged with Rheinland's forces. We ordered the Rheinlanders to stand down, and surprisingly enough they complied, with orders from their Vizeadmiral Voelkel to fall back. One of their battleships - Bismarck - refused to comply so the Legion burned it to the ground.
Despite the high navy buildup at Houston, we decided not to engage for fear of harming the civilian populace on the surface - raining debris doesn't exactly do wonders for life expectancy. The Ven'Gyr and Incursus both moved back into position above the badlands, with the Abbadon, Lake Crescent, and PFC Quino heading back to Beaumont.
Overall, a magnificent display of the Legion's superiority. A chance to show the people that even in the darkness of Sirius, the fires of the Legion are still burning bright to protect them and their rights.
Well done. All of you.
In addition, PFC's Torrez and Quino are both promoted to Lieutenant, and Lieutenant Luara Aristan is being promoted to Major. Congratulations pilots, and keep up the good work.
Signed, Reynard Joyeuse, Lord Commander of The Hellfire Legion
