Leutnant Landers reporting.
Today I was ordered by Admiral Alec Voelkel to visit Omega-7. Last time the system was empty, this time, definitely not. While I was moving in the trade lanes, my sensors picked up a hostile contact in the Walker nebula. I got some...strange signal. According to the ship's log, it was a highly coded signal, used by the Mandalorian Mercenaries. I followed, but I lost it near sector Charlie-6. So I went back to the trade lanes, when I saw another ship. It was a civilian very heavy fighter with some kind of mercenary identification. I was suprised when I detected corsair technology on the figher. It was equipped with corsair pulse cannons. I didn't know anything about him, his mission and intentions, so I ordered him to leave our territory. I was suprised when he left the system at once without any sign of disobey.
Later, I caught up with the admiral's wing, and moved out to Omega-3. I thought the system was clear like last time, but not. We detected the Mandalorian there, and a lot of Coalition vessels arrived. We were surrounded by them. Three fighters and a fafnir heavy bomber againts a pack of fighters...
They attacked us. The mercenaries decided to fight againts us with the SCRA. They took down our bomber and we lost one Wraith. Suddenly, one of the "Reavers" came and fought on our side. Suprise. The admiral and I had to defeat the remain Coalition fighters, they left 4 Odins to kill us. One of the Odins was destroyed by the "Reaver" the other one ran into the admiral's mine.
I managed to duel with one of them. Both os us suffered heavy damage, when they retreated. The fight was succesfull. We made the coalition withdraw, and we showed them that they can't just enter our territory without any consequences. But now, we must prepare our ships and pilots for the upcoming times. I think they will return with bigger forces. It's just a matter of time.
