Earlier today, whilst conducting a routine patrol of Tau-37 in sector B3, I received an emergency signal from the Destroyer Quezon in the neighbouring system of Tau-44. Quezon had detected a large concentration of enemy forces in the system. Without a moment’s hesitation, I rushed to the aid of our fratelli e sorelle, having first alerted the nearest patrols in Tau-37 and demanded that they immediately relay the information directly to Malta.
Upon arriving in the open fields of Tau-44, myself and several other Maltese fighters spotted a large formation consisting of ships of the Crayter Republic, Unione Corse, as well as BHG and IMG assets. To say that the enemy outnumbered us and was far superior in firepower would be an understatement. But, praise be to the Orange Dream, our prayers were answered and soon the Malta Hyperspace Starfleet arrived on the battlefield, bringing with them several more groups from Malta and the surrounding area.
It was a true battle of attrition. Despite the arrival of reinforcements from Malta, our forces were still outnumbered by the enemy. Not to mention their hordes of piccole merde, who kept repairing themselves and replenishing their ammunition on Crayterian carriers, wearing down our few fighter craft.
Nevertheless, despite the fierce resistance of quei bastardi di Yuma e Gallia, at a certain point our spirited and determined Guerrieri managed to turn the tide of battle. The enemy fleet began to crumble and their forces were put to flight.
It was a glorious day for the Famiglia, Malta, and a shining example of the Martello Arancione's dominance across the vast expanses of our beautiful Tau systems.
