RE: Standard report.

This report details last night's varied happenings. To start with, I met up with Mr Bellock of the Bowex)Fenning and Mr Clark of the Bowex)Sheridan outside Baltimore Shipyard in Liberty. I was already in New York due to the fact I'd escorted a high level BMM employee to the system earlier that day. While deciding what cargo to haul, we were bemused to encounter a KNF bomber called Echo_Jack, which cruised past, flying parallel to the trade lane towards the Texas jump gate.

Naturally I gave chase, with Mr Bellock and Clark proceeding down the lane to cut the bugger off. We disabled his engines just outside Baltimore's sensor range, at which point the bomber "attacked" us, and we destroyed him in "self defence". Shouldn't be any enquiries from the Liberty law for our legal team to deal with either: we covered all our bases by announcing the "attack" over system comms. Transcript attached. It turned out the Schizophrenic sod was escorting a transport called Foxtrot_Ashley, who insulted us before running as fast as he could for Texas. We let him go without incident.

Upon returning to Leeds, we were in for a surprise. Planetary orbit was in full lockdown with an entire barbarian fleet of Corsairs staring us down! There was at least one dreadnought, one battleship, numerous cruisers and a smattering of snubs. In short, it was time to get to work. We waited for the scoundrels to engage and break ranks before moving in and killing a Praetorian (Stephen), Titan (antipirate) and Decurion (Liliana.Rios) with surgical precision. Mr Bellock got the kill on the bomber (the glory stealing bastard!) and the Decurion (some skilled work with a mine dropper, if I don't say so myself). The Titan was tagged by a BAF Templar, despite us three noble crusaders doing most of the hard work! I say!

Throughout the entire skirmish, the Corsair fleet was entirely obliterated with the scattered remains fleeing, resulting in a - I kid you not - 10 to 1 kill ratio. There was only one friendly casualty suffered on our side - |Convoy|.Escort_Baldy. Just goes to show! If you want a battle fought properly, forget Convoy Templars - just call in the Clydesdale Brigade! With that little distraction out of the way, we landed on Leeds and offloaded our cargo. Regrettably, I was forced to record an official reprimand in the incidents book for all three of us, due to our late delivery. Beating a Corsair invasion force to death is no excuse for tardiness, doncha know! From there, Mr Clark and myself proceeded to the Dublin system, where we purchased a full load of Gold Ore. After continuing to New York's Detroit Munitions without encounter, we signed off for the night.

That'll be all, I believe. I've attached to official battle records below. The cowardly Corsair knaves who ran away, instead of dying as they should have are regrettably missing.
