Lt. Commander Ivan Voronov and I were feeling a touch idle today, so decided to do some live-fire combat training. Live-fire on the enemy, that is.
We had picked up a large battle in Omicron Alpha on scanners. It appeared that the Corsairs, under the Brotherhood and the Benitez family were assaulting Malta.
They were opposed by the NovaPG, Blood Dragon slaves to the Outcasts' Cardamine.
Myself, in my fighter, and Ivan, in his bomber, engaged to aid the Corsairs. Resistance from the lumbering enemy capital ships was minimal, Ivan himself dealing the crippling blow to the NovaPG flagship, the Kana-Keiko. He also severely damaged another battleship, which was finished off by the Corsairs.
I managed to pin down an enemy fighter, and must have hit his engine, since he was forced into an emergency crash-landing into Malta's atmosphere.
Anyway, this was a resounding victory. Of special note is the fact that in addition to our Brotherhood tab on Crete, the Benitez family is also offering free drinks.
I'll be using my leave time for one hell of a party. All are invited.
