A band of quite ignorant LDDLG gunboats thought they were allowed to dock Freeport 9 while being at war with us. After first sighting the LDDLG ships in Theta, they first ran. However, a little over an hour later 3 of them appeared, and attempted to dock Freeport 9. The Ableben, reinforced by pilot Blazer, closed and engaged the Corsairs. One fell quickly to the Ableben's greater firepower, and the other attempted to escape. Pilot Blazer disrupted him for long enough for the Ableben to close distance and destroy the vessel. None of our ships were damaged.

Later, we were met by HF destroyer Prometheus as well as AW pilot Lorenzo. At first a group of OPG, 4 ships, were amassing next to the Omicron Theta jump hole in Omega-41. We prepared the attack, gathering the Prometheus, Ableben, and our two fighters into a formation and awaiting their arrival. After a 25 minute waiting game, they finally moved to Omega-5, where they waited again.

I ordered the Defel, our newest Outcast Destroyer, to spearhead a battlegroup of our forces in attacking the OPG. A report will be coming.

This is Captain Viaelre of the destroyer, Defel. I lead our forces consisting of two Outcast Destroyers, and two fighters. We attacked the OPG Corsairs nearby Cadiz. As expected, the local Corsairs took offense, but were ineffectual against us. We destroyed their biggest ship, a Corsair Huntress, rather quickly under the sustained fire of both our destroyers, and our fighters. Unfortunately, due to an electronic malfunction, Lorenzo's ship became unresponsive and he was forced to eject from the dying fighter. He was supplied with a shuttle from the Defel's hanger bay to get him back to Livadia to get a new ship.

Though both sides had lost ships, the Corsairs had lost their most powerful one, while we only lost a fighter. After that, the Prometheus and my ship both turned on the Corsair gunboat present. His engines, suffering from the barrage, went haywire, sending the ship in a wild set of maneuvers that ended with the engines exploding and taking the back half of the ship with it. Meanwhile, a JG, mercenary, accepted the captain of the recently destroyed Huntress, Gentle's bounty on our pilot Blazer. Though a Rheinland bomber, he had little success at targeting Blazer. He turned his weapons on the Defel and actually managed to drop our shield. We were able to stop him from hitting us with Nova Antimatter Cannons, and suffered only cosmetic damage. He left the fight after we had nearly destroyed his vessel. I recommend farther negotiations with these, JG, to determine what we need to do about them.

After that we simply took out the two OPG fighters. Due to their agility, and our bigger ship's lack of anti-fighter weapons, it took awhile. Though with the support of late-arriving HF pilot, Kaoru, their destruction was quickened. We destroyed a Corsair Titan, and were slowly damaging the two OPG Raven's Talons, when a Corsair gunboat appeared. With it came a Zoner IFFd Rheinland gunboat. We still are unable to determine the reason the said individual attacked his own guardians, but he aided the Corsairs. We destroyed the Corsair gunboat, the Defel only suffering a minimal amount of damage. We gave the Zoner gunboat one last chance to leave with his ship intact, and he answered by opening fire on the Prometheus. Immediately, both destroyers moved to destroy it, as well as pilot Blazer, who had broken off his fight with the OPG. Needless to say, under much more firepower, his ship was not able to withstand us, and the ship began to break apart, with escape pods jettisoning from the ship.

After that it was only a matter of time before our two cruisers and two fighters destroyed the OPG fighters later identified as Al Capone, and a pilot we know as GD66. We headed back to Omicron Theta, our raid complete. We suffered very little in damages, and lost only one ship to the enemy's eight. After the incident, Theta remained relatively quiet throughout the rest of the night.
