Report:
Mission Time: today, 1800 hours.
Mission Location: California system, outside California Minor.
The HFGB-Silverfire, HFGB-Mentu and HF-Debian made their way to the california system to destroy the gunboat SA-Chicago. We met no resistance for a while. We took this oppurtunity to level a liberty navy cruiser/gunboat fleet to rubbish for hte junkers to salvage. our taunts were answered by the arrival of the chicago. we engaged her at once, only to find another gunboat, the SA-Thors-hammer enter the fray. The SA targetted our commander, the Silverfire, who dogded thier fire like it was a game. While he dodged, the mentu and debian engaged the thors hammer. Unfortunately the Silverfire was destroyed. However, before the SA gunboat pilots could start ganing up on the mentu, the SA-Thors-hammer was done away with by debian's excellent accuracy. The mentu and Debian proceeded to engage and take out the remaining SA Gunboat. It would have been a clean job, seeing as the SA Gunboat pilot was terrible and his aim even worse, but the mentu and debian were engaged by a BSG taiiden bomber, by the name of Helo and two minutes later, with the hull of the Chicago at 3/4th efficiency, a liberty cruiser, the SA-Halifax showed up on the scene to aid his allies.
Again, he could hadly aim. due to some errors within the guidance system of the mentu, the targetting recticle continued to jump between targets, thus letting the chicago gain its shields once again. On another note, it seems the SA have fallen to dastardly tricks exploiting the system. It seems they will do anything to last longer in a fight, even if it means killing their own kindred to gain some measly nanobots and shield batteries. I can proudly say that, even with the cruiser there, we could have won. The bomber being one of the most annoying targets gave the SA a slightly upper hand and the HFGB was destroyed. Debian, upon oprders escaped from a gruesome death and returned to HQ for restocking and repairs. The Mentu is currently in dry dock, getting repairs, but should be ready to fight in no time.
No matter. We may have lost the battle but the war is ours to win! we will have our revenge. On the long run, we did manage to reduce the number of Navy patrols, and supplies going through to NY, the center of liberty space, so it was not a total loss after all.
This is the captian of the Gunboat Mentu reporting in.
