KNF/KSP arrived slightly late to the party, and had to play catch up in Shikoku, but almost stopped the liner at the Kyushu hole. However, the liner jumped, and, to make matters worse, immediately cruised. With almost no lawfuls on that side of the hole, the Liner got nearly 20 klicks out before its cruise engines mysteriously failed. From then on out, half the lawfuls lagged behind due to the excellent cruise disrupting of the unlawful side, and could not catch back up until the liner reached the nebula. The Bakafu was destroyed at the jump hole, and arrived back some 20k before the jump hole. With the liner's engines failing, this would have been enough range, but the unlawfuls ferociously defended the liner's shields just barely long enough that the liner was able to reach the jump hole. The liner reached the jump hole with 30 seconds to spare on the boarding timer.
Thanks to everyone for participating. I had a stupendous time, and hope all of you did as well. Kudos!
