As the Xenos struck down Rio Grande, the Liberty Rogues and Lane Hackers formed a joint-attack plan. With the LR bringing in thier Scylla, the Hacker's a Storta, the two groups prepared to assault California.
The Storta exited Magellan with its escorts and launched an,attack on the San Diego Border Station. Heavily damaging it, San Diego evacuated all personell and self destructed, taking out a Hacker Gunship in the blast. Unfased, the Hackers moved to California Minor, meeting the Rogues. Together the two overwhelmed California Minor's defenses and paved the way for Hacker and Rogue transport filled with pirate soldiers. Managing to land despite heavy fire from planetary forces. As Liberty Marines deployed, thier air cover was overwhelmed. Caught between the pirate soldiers and aircraft, the Marines were slaughtered. California Minor became a wretched hive of scum and villany.
As this transpired, Hacker Broadsword and Rogue Barghest bombers,launched an assault on the Yukon. As good as tge first strike was, the second force was caught by surprise; the flagship of the Sixth Fleet, the apply-named carrier Los Angeles, was in orbit with the Iwo Jima, a LABC. As fighter wings streemed from the carrier, catching the pirates in a swarm. Retreating to Riverside, the fighting continued. Riverside was heavily damaged in the battle, nearly destroying it.
Meanwhile, the dreadnought Harmony and the LABC ThunderBay caught the Scylla and Storta as they attempted to assault Willard. Fairing badly, and barely escaping, the two ships managed ro retreat to the Magellan gate.
Now, California is divided: Cali Minor side is Pirate, while Los Angeles stays lawful. The LNS Los Angeles held at Mojave, securing the pipeline to planet Los Angeles. Harmony now guards Willard, which fares attacks every day, only saved by frequent supplies run in using diversions and escorts. Navy HighCom is currently trying to form a plan,to retake C Minor.
So, thoughts? Lose a stationary, gain one. I'll screw over the pirates more in Ontario, give Liberty a break.
