Reporting of the assault Stuttgart had to face just a few minutes earlier. Unknown marauders of unknown affiliation showed up just as I was summoning the wing for patrol, near the Karlsruhe. It appeared that they had no real motives around the area, they simply wanted to assassinate me, attacking shortly after I got out of the Karlsruhe's range.
The vessels I got a reading of were two of the Border Worlds shipline, a Falcata and a Scimitar. Neither were the right choice for assassination missions as they soon realized. The designation of the marauders seemed to be based on a similar pattern, Shaulanca's Revenge was their identical callsign, divided by only the numbers afterwards. What or who Shaulanca is, or what they wanted to avenge; don't ask as I never got to know the answer.
The wing I was assembling, consistent of Flieger Paul Xaver and Hauptmann Gunter Weissman soon arrived, shortly after the assassin bomber opened fire. Weissman remained on an observer position as the Flieger and I opened our attack, swiftly dispatching the bomber, baring the number two. Apparently, this militant group had a wide range of Corsair supporters, as a pair of Corsair vessels, Fernando Zeres and Jose Carlos soon arrived to the scene, immediately engaging us upon sight.
With the arrival of two Sabres, Shaunlanca's Revenge 3 and Shattered Skies, another unknown Freelancer seemingly after our heads, and 1-1 ship worth of backup coming in the form of WRF Alpha-4 and Flieger Landers, the skirmish erupted into a bloodbath.
Under the duration of an hour or so, we managed to bring down both Corsairs, as an addition to the Falcata we took down earlier, however we lost two of our Fliegers and Alpha-4 retreated. The hostiles were heavily damaged in the firefight, we drained them dry of their nanobot supply. Additional reinforcements coming in from the RFP and the WRF made them scatter before we finished the job.
The origin and objectives of the attackers remain a mystery. We have no information regarding the group's whereabouts or motives, their equipment points to Outcast origins, yet they side with Corsairs. Their accent cannot be made out, as the short fragments of sentences they spoke sounded neutral. Apparently, they were after my head at first. Why exactly? They never told. Luckily, none of our men were severely injured or dead, but the engagement cost us a pair of Wraiths. The impact we made on them was more severe, hopefully severe enough for them to consider not returning.
