Another hour, another fight.. Or three.

Found a Benitez and TBH Corsair Gunboats attacking a trader known as Unseelie in Omega-41. Though we have no jurisdiction in Omega-41, the presence of two hostiles, one with a 15 million credit bounty hanging over his head, attacking a trader known to pay the AW for the killing of said factions, was enough for me to call an attack. Expecting only the TBH, I first found the Benitez near the Omega-5 JH. I chased him away from the trader, and shortly afterward he apparently called in backup. the TBH arrived. I found myself outnumbered and outgunned, and called for assistance from Lieutenant Shagohad. He started to head to Omega-41 from Tau-37. After a fight lasting 5 minutes of our ship attacking the Benitez, and the TBH behind us, shooting us, the Benitez finally succumbed to our weaponry. No longer having multiple targets, we were able to outmaneuver the TBH and take him down without losing our shield.

Net expenditure; Credits requiring the cost of 90 nanobots, 325 shield batteries, and rediation damage repair. 10,000 credits in total. Both targets were destroyed, and the trader made it away intact with all his cargo, which was sold to our merchants on Corfu. Enemies were known as Captain Vash from thhe TBH, and Captain Ximen Benitez. No knowledge on their status. There were many Corsair Titans flying about that could have saved their pods.

This trader's troubles weren't over yet however. Roughly 10 minutes later he transmitted the identity of yet another Corsair GB named Sicarii attacking him outside Corfu. We made our way there, and promptly damaged the Corsair who then ran to Gamma. Due to my bridge crew's speed, we were able to disrupt him on the other side of the jump hole. It was there that we finally destroyed his ship.

However I do not suggest marking him as hostile. We received a later transmission stating he wouldn't pirate in Theta if we didn't hunt him for this offense. He has been briefed on our laws concerning pirating in Theta, Omicron-74, and Zoner transports.

Unseelie paid for the bounty on the TBH shortly after its destruction, and has added another chunk to our growing bank that my ships doubles as.
