[color=#FFFFFF]Good day Comrades, Commissar Robert Miller reporting the events of yesterday. This shall be my thirteenth report, dated 03.12.818 but written one day late.
Comrade Zalesskaya, whoever was flying Wolf-Lead and myself rendezvoused in Bering and then proceeded to the New York system to spread the Christmas spirit. I had already accompanied Comrade Alvarez on one of these trips a few days ago, which was a great success. Although our ships were destroyed in that previous raid, we completed our mission. I hoped for an even greater success today.
We arrived in New York and Wolf-Lead took us high above Maine, the small moon orbitting planet Pittsburgh. From there we descended downward, although I feared that moving too close would result in our discovery. During this time we spread the Christmas joy in New York, singing several Christmas carols. An episode of "Shoot the Fascist" was about to begin, but then our signals were blocked.
We found the LSF ships blocking our signals. Four of them were near Maine, as if they had been expecting. After a few brief words, combat began. As usual, the events of the battle are all intermingled in my mind.
I know that Comrade Alvarez later arrived in his Odin, and engaged in a duel with an LSF fighter. Unfortunately his ship was destroyed. Our first target had dragged the fight to directly outside the Pittsburgh traffic lane, and some of them were using nearby transports as shields!
Our first target managed to land on Pittsburgh before it was destroyed. Our second managed to engage his cruise engines right before destruction, his ship trailing flames as it fled. The third and fourth also docked when their nanobot supply ran dry. The fifth also docked, but this pilot still had fifty nanobots left! The sixth then docked at the same time.
This was a victory for us. Six LSF fighters fled from three (not including Comrade Alvarez and his duel) Coalition fighters. A humiliation for them. We could have remained in New York, but we were immediately called back to the Omega region. Something was happening in Omicron Theta.
During the battle in New York, we had been sharing comms with SCRA forces in Omicron Theta. It appeared that several Zoners had not allowed an SCRA ship to leave, and then the Corsairs had become involved. When I arrived in my Revolution there was no weapon fire. Several SCRA ships were facing at least triple the number of Corsairs, and one or two Outcasts, Zoners and even Order ships.
We were bringing in reinforcements until I believe we had eight ships. Three bombers, and five fighters. The battle soon began, our bombers targeting the lone Dreadnought. We moved around unhindered - for approximately ten seconds. Then the Corsair fighters honed in on us, and the Dreadnought began to move away. We decided against pursuing the Dreadnought, allowing it to move out of our range and sit at the edge of the battle, licking its wounds.
Again, the events of the battle were all intermingled into one memory. I know that our bombers were constantly being targeted. I saw seven fighters targeting my ship at one time, but at one point only one decided to stay on me. This gave me the opportunity to turn and attack, destroying the Titan with a direct hit with my Snack.
I had little problems in dodging the weapons fire from the Corsairs who pursued me. I received an additional fifty nanobots from various Coalition pilots when I needed them and this must have demoralised the fighters pursuing, for many of them broke off.
However, when the RoS fighters (now numbering five) arrived and began to target me along with those Corsairs, it was too much. I was forced to risk it all and attempt to break through the Corsair capital ship blockade surrounding the Omicron Gamma jump hole. I jumped through to the system, and no enemy ships followed.
I then returned to Omega-52 to seek repairs for my Revolution, thankfully spared destruction. All I know of the outcome of the battle is that the enemy losses were far greater than our own.
