Two alarms were set off. One in the Alaska system and one in the Hamburg system. I formed a small fighter wing consisting of myself, Ensign Jennifer Kelly and Lieutenant Matt Smith to deal with the Alaska threat. On the scene we spotted three Rheinland Fighters. How they managed to pass the Texas system, then enter New York, breach through the Z-21 minefield and end up in Alaska. Is beyond my comprehension. They would had to pass at least five inner and outer defence mechanisms.
Regardless, two targets were neutralized and the last one managed to flee before we could catch them.
I put up a RV at Planet Houston in the Texas system. Gathered my units and proceeded to Hudson. We had reports of Rheinland activity there. I issued a search & destroy mode but to no avail. All Rheinland units had entered the Bering system by now and were headed towards the Hamburg system according to LSF intel. We re-grouped once again at Planet Houston and made a direct and swift assault towards the Hamburg jumpgate.
At this time the enemy forces had jumped but since the LSF was in that system, we were forced to follow to make sure they were not pinned down. A battle broke out near the jumpgate to Bering. We sent in everything, Fighters, Bombers as well as several Capital Ships. The battle was extremely intense and both sides lost numerous fighters. However, the enemy forces had gathered a large Capital Ship force that could rival ours, and it managed to beat it. Fighters from both sides continued the fight as the enemy capital ships were forced to back away due to not being able to tackle such small class-ships.
Few more losses were handed out to both sides, but I decided to retreat mid-battle because of the risk that we would lose far too many of our units. We live to fight another day, Admirals.
