Hola 101st Offiicers, fellow recruits and any ally that is partaking in our reports. Today the Corsairs mustered their forces into a sizeable group, with one HUGE weakness. Before my eyes: Six Dreadnoughts, three cruisers and multiple Osiris came into Alpha with extremely hostile wishes. *laughs* But that is just it isn't it? They were wishing to destroy us. Even as my eyes beheld their force. Their eyes came to rest on ours. Surely a sense of solemnity came upon them as they witnessed the Outcasts' might. Eight or nine fully equipped Ranseur class Dreadnoughts stood at the end of the ten kilometer "No Man's Land". Accompanied by three Battleships and two Destroyers. Senor Chenzo led the group of fighters and lone bomber in, to commence our attack on their soley Capital fleet. I fell in behind Chenzo as he issued orders for the fighters to take out any gunboats present. For some reason, that I disagree with, the Ranseur's held a VERY safe distance away. The fire from the enemy dreadnoughts overpowered one of our fighters instantly. The gunboat was difficult to track with all the Ion, Pulse and Primaries firing across my cockpit. In time we destroyed the gunboat. Soon after, the Ranseur's appeared to be stationary, save one. A single MNS Dreadnought was charging forward valiantly. In it's wake the rest followed. The battle was now at its climax. Amid the flurries of Mortars and other heavy weaponry the fighters struggled to exit the graphic scene of exploding decks. I was among the last to execute the order to withdraw to a safe distance. The cruiser above me suddenly had its life support systems damage and the result was a massive shockwave that hit me head-on. I began spinning violently and all my systems were in minimal working order. After making sure I was going to stay alive, I noticed my vision was blurring. The last thing I witnessed was our ships sending the Cannibal force into full retreat.

I am ashamed that all my transmissions, so far, have ended in myself blacking out. I must be more vigilant of my surroundings. It only takes one mishap to end a story.
