Well, I thought I might as well file a report, and seeing as how my superior order that I do, why not, eh? Well, down to business then. I started the operation with Cromptin, Suralin, and Toothpaste. We rendezvoused in the Omega 5 system, and initiated an operation with the goal of combating the Corsair threat in an effort to gain standing with the Mollies and Hessians.

We dispatched to Omega 41, where we discovered a small contingent of Corsairs engaged with Mandalorians and the Joker. The Corsair forces consisted of a Cruiser and two gunboats, one of which quickly disengaged.

I, along with the rest of my wing, was ordered to engage the Corsairs. We were able to quickly disable and destroy the Gunboat. Unfortunately for Toothpaste, the Cruiser's heavy weapons were fired in a number of rapid volleys at near point-blank ranges at the hapless fightercraft. My inability to destroy the Cruiser fast enough to prevent this loss fills me with chagrin. I'll have to remind myself to outfit my Eagle with a Mini Razor sometime soon.

Despite the loss of Toothpaste, we eventually overcame the Cruiser's significant firepower and armor. With a flurry of antimatter and aide from the Mandalorians, the Cruiser faced its inevitable demise. Although it possessed superior firepower and armor, our numbers helped us overwhelm the hulking beast. I doubt that its crew could keep all of us in their sights simultaneously. [/color]

The Cruiser's Detonation

Upon destruction of all Corsair forces in the area, we temporarily combined forces with the Mandalorians and the Joker to make a decisive strike in to Gamma. Oddly, Gamma was empty, except for a lone Farmer's Alliance man who could neither confirm nor deny the presence of Corsair platters in-system. With no hostiles in-sight, we returned to Freeport 1 to continue diplomacy with the local Hessians.
