COMM ID: Diego Ruiz
LOCATION: Planet Malta
SUBJECT: 23rd May battle report

Greetings,
Today, 23rd May of 817 A.S, me and Commander Tacito Hoplite, assembled a strike force to raid the corsair home system Omicron Gamma. Brave pilots of the maltese fleet quickly joined our force that was gonna hit the corsairs at their home-door.

The raiding group was composed of several 'Sabre' fighters and a few 'Falcata' bombers.

We soon left Omicron Alpha, heading to Omicron Gamma.

We arrived in Omicron Gamma with no problems and headed to Planet Crete to fulfill our role. We met a considerable force of capital ships, from massive dreadnoughts to battleships with anti-fighter turrets.

A 'Spatial' vessel attacked the maltese strike force. We answered fire with fire and eliminated the threat.

During the battle, some vessels joined our forces. They are pilots that just like us, hate the corsair nacion.

We fought the corsair fleet and gave all we had best, but the small numbers and the small firepower began to feel. The corsair dreadnoughts destroyed mostly of our fighters.

My fighter was destroyed and my escape pod picked up by Senor Hoplite.

The maltese strike force ELIMINATED:

• several corsair fighters
  
• 2 or more corsair gunboats
  
• several corsair bombers
  
  Several capital ships were forced to land on Planet Crete for immediate repairs.
  

The maltese strike force LOST:

• most of the fighters
  
• all bombers
  

The remaining forces withdrawn from the system because of the enormous number of capital ships flying over Planet Crete's orbit.

That would be all to report.
