.|* Lost Star - IMG| Contract: [invisible to everybody else]

[Teal]

Lost Star Regina Silva here, I was asked to file the encounters in the Taus to send them your way.

Nomads and Outcast forces attacked Java. The opposition to this attack formed rather slowly, and along the way many were destroyed until the enemies could be pushed out of the Taus. The vigilantes gave chase through Tau 37 and Apha, assisted by an Order agent and a Colonial. A gunboat was destroyed, and one was forced to dock in Malta, however the nomads didn't risk a fight and they got away, leaving the outcasts to cover their rear.

An Outcast raiding party attacked the IMG in Tau 37. Before the Lost Stars could appear two IMG vessels were lost. The outcasts were destroyed promptly afterwards, before they could take out the remaining IMG pilot.

IMG bomber pilot Sarah Miller and a Vigilante gunboat caught a cardamine smuggler as it tried to pass through Tau 23. The smuggler was shot and 4920 units of cardamine was destroyed.

Usual engagements in Tau 23 with the Outcasts. Two vessels were destroyed and one was forced to dock by the IMG-LS combined forces.

O - O - O - O - O - O

Solo effort of a vigilante, one outcast was destroyed in Tau 23 and one was forced to take refuge in Cali.

O - O - O - O

This engagement was long and full of explosions from both sides. The outcasts prepared a raiding party, targeting at first the ALG transports, and then the remaining defence in the Taus. The Vigilantes scored a few claims through the battle, and after a while of struggle only an IMG pilot and an LS Vigilante managed to remain in their ships, destroying the last of the Outcasts in the system.

O - O - O - O - O - O - O - O - O - O

Another one of the raids though breif compared to the last. The outcasts managed to destroy an ALG transport and a few of the miners. This time the Tau defence could scramble efficiently and outnumbered the opposition soon enough.

I guess this is all. Until next time, stay safe.

This Outcast Storta was parking very close to Java, and my vigilante wanted to give it a ticket. Things got messy though, the captain of the Storta started to shoot stuff. Mustering the force to be able to defeat it permenantly was not possible at the time; sadly a colonial bomber was lost to the windshield of the Destroyer, and a gunboat had to retreat. My vigilante kept hitting the Storta like he was that guy with a spoon, you know, and after about an hour the Storta ran back to Cali in terror. My vigilante was victorious.

Two outcasts in Tau 23 wanted to enter into a swarm of piranhas, thinking they are only cute little fishies with no bite. The outcasts thought that they would be the sharks munching them all up easily. Well, they thought wrong. Piranhas' bite might be small, but they still bite. I love the Outcasts' expectations.

Little Veera was feeling a bit down so I took her to a cruise around Malta, and bought her chocolate pudding on the way. You should have seen her SNAC skills, absolute gloriously gorgeous. I really suggest shooting some 'casts when you feel a bit under the weather.

O - O - O - O - O - O - O

-
Outcasts swarmed the place, blew up some defenseless miners to feel good about themselves. The fight extended from Tau 23 to Tau 39 with the miners being pushed all the way deep inside a pinkish cloud. But then the professionals came, replaced the miners; the Reavers Merc Company and a vigilante of mine made short work of the outcasts.

O - O

-
This is another battle here, started with an attack of three Outcast capitals, accompanied by a few snubs. At first the Tau defence was a bit overwhelmed but it didn't take long to recover from it. As soon as we had enough bombers, the capitals were made short work of, and then we focused on the snubs, which were overwhelmed easily. They should learn already to stop following clueless capital ship captains into Tau 23; once the capitals explode, the remaining flies will flock on to your sweet ass for a taste.

Two random engagements inside the Taus, ended with the destruction of two outcast vessels.

Hi.

While Sol and a Colonial Leon were patrolling around the Taus they caught a slaver. They chased it all the way to Omicron Alpha, and could finally destroy it just before it could reach Malta. Leon stood by and played with the Outcasts while Sol brought a transport to transfer the surviving slaves. 2892 slaves were freed and transported to Falkland.

O - O - O - O

-
This thing was sneaking around the mine fields masquarading as a bretonian naval officer. It was creeping out the miners probably, because the miners called for help. Leon and Sol rushed to the scene, and decided to escort the thing to Bretonia space. However it decided to stray away from the Bretonia route. So Sol, being his usual shooty self, shot it. I think he was planning to kill it on the way no matter what, anyways.

-
I beat up a rude hunter in Tau 29 and kicked his ass outta my turf, then gave a few lessons to a lonely Hogosha pilot. Afterwards I was on my way back to Java. I was stopped by a pair of fools, an Outcast, and a Blood Dragon. They engaged me without a word, and words were not needed anyways. We all knew that either me or them would be dead soon, anyways.

O - O - O - O - O

-
Random engagements all around the Taus; some outcasts and troublesome pirates.

Five shots and 180 slaves freed. Three outcasts downed, one assisted outcast explosion, one rogue Order cruiser helping the outcasts. A small outcast was bribed to free the slaves in the Freeport.

Man... not even a week back and already saddled with all the backed up paperwork...

*she sighs*

Anyway, first up is an Outcast who started shooting at an IMG pilot and a Maquis who decided to help the outcast.

* * * *

Next, an outcast bomber we chased all the way back to Malta and forced to dock. Seems like a lot of effort for nothing...

* *

Later we ran into a pirate in Tau-23 who was harassing some miners and took care of him.

* *

Two nomads in Tau-23 were shooting people, so Sol shot them back. One took a one way trip into the sun, and the other fled to Baffin.

* * * *

Last we caught a smuggler in Tau-23. He didn't want to drop his cardamine so we shot him. 3279 units cardamine were destroyed, along with the smuggler's vessel.

* * *

Well, that's all for now.

Sol got me to do a small report again.

There was a fight outside Java. But I was drunk.

Sol went with some Colonials and IMG forces and blew up some Outcasts. But I was sleeping.

Sol horribly forces himself on some blue thing.

My vigilante Cassandra Gariot caught a slaver party passing through Tau 23. It consisted of a transport and a couple of escorts. Sadly, the point they could be stopped was too close to Cali base, and the slaver successfully made a run towards it and took refuge there. One of the escorts docked after it, and another escort started to run towards Tau 37. We could destroy that sabre before it jumped.

An Outcast Heavy Fighter was simply passing through Tau 23, and I wanted to test my SNAC aim on him. First shot got him blown up, however, I won't count this one as he was simply flying too straight.

Me and my new pet cruiser caught an Outcast Tridente in Tau 37. After it started to shoot us, we shot it back until it exploded.

Two cardamine smugglers were caught by the Tau 37 hole this morning. One of them was a Junker Frigate, carrying 3265 units of cardamine. The other a freelancer with 2820 units. They both tried a run towards Cali, though the freelancer, luckily for me, had problems with ION storms. I shot the junker first, then waited for the freelancer... who soon appeared and got shot as well.
