Combat Report; Assessment

Over the last week the IMG managed to take down a considerable number of enemies. During my presence in battles, a total of 10 Snubcrafts, 2 Stortas and 1 Battleship were destroyed, primarily in the Tau region.

After seing or combat force in action during the last engagements, I also think our training program has paid of - Communication between our pilots has improved and the excersises contributed to our pilot's confidence. We should continue to practise combat maneuvers, especially against GB-class vessels, as those have proven to be more dangerous than ever.
The GDV-Oceania has not fought its first battle yet, therefore an evaluation of its combat capabilities is not possible.

Interception Report

Our efforts to interrupt the illegal trade and human trafficking in the Tau regions have paid off: Two cardamine smugglers were caught and destroyed after failing to comply with the IMG's demands.
Additionaly, a freighter carrying slaves was destroyed and the persons on the ship brought to safety.

I admit that I have been neglecting my duties to write up these reports. Seems my last one is some months back. The paperwork has been piling up so high that I get the "timber!" warning here, so I decided to deal with the backlog.

So... be prepared to get a lot of stuff thrown at you.

1. Intercept reports:

Today a Gallic mining ship of Rock Badger type stole ore. Lister was fast enough to catch up and we trashed it. Here are the final seconds of the mining ship that remained silent for the whole 50 k chanse.




The Junker Marauders went aggressive, so we decided to intercept some of their heavies after some attacks of theirs against our civilian mining assets. The last seconds of this transport are in this guncam shot.




We also intercepted the cardamine smuggler Miss-Piggy in T37. See the reports that Mr. Lister made.


2. Kill Reports:

Check them out, you may appear in one of two of them!

The Insane Convoy Friday

This is Julia Morrow, reporting two convoy runs that were very very big. I lost count of the ships, but there were many. We did the Omega 7 > Kusari > T23 > New Berlin > Omega 7 run with a mixed group of IMG| and ALG| ships. {AFC} were escorting us skillfully.

But, you really want to see this!

Fireworks, when around 10 transports light up a gunboat.



Obviously there was no way that the Ahoudori could take this kind of punishment.



It blew up after being chased by the transports and the escorts, while the Gunboat escort was keeping the second Gunboat in check. It was taken out by the escorts alone, while the convoy regrouped.

Even the standard pictures of this run look pretty good, I have to say. Here they are:





In Tau 23 we were threatened by the Junker Marauders, who did not attack, but their big numbers would have made mining impossible. IMG Defense was scrambled after the convoy's Hedgehog-formation worked well to discourage any attacks. After that, the Marauders were beaten back and the convoy/mining activity resumed.

The Convoy ended back in Omega 7.

Rescue Mission Report

Hello Jack, my friend. Sam here. I got the message you left on my communicator, complaining about how I haven't filled a report on that rescue op yet... Ok, ok, although you were there, here is a report for your records...

After you and the guys that have robbed those annapurnas and kidnapped the crew arranged an 'exchange', I prep'd my dromedary freighter for the mission, the Morning Star. Plenty of room for the crews to lie down if they were injured.

We launched and encountered that One Eye fella near Freeport Ten.

Pretty wierd fella. Even knowing if he tried anything he would be blasted in seconds, he still came armed with nova torpedoes so to be sure to blow me up together with the rescued crew if the meeting had gone south. Luckly it didn't. Here is a scan I took confirming the 15 lifesigns all packed up like sardines in that ship's hold.

After some tense moments, when outcasts appeared to take a look on what was going on, and were chased away by our escorts, we finaly made the exchange of the hostages for the payment, and I docked with his ship and transfered the crew to my freighter. Quickly I cruised towards the Tau 23 jump hole and made it to Java, to get those folks to Medical.

Some of them had injuries, but none very serious.

After that, I went to Java's bar an had a drink. I hate these damn pirates!

That was it, my friend. Samuel out.

Convoy Reports

Hello, folks, this is Mac Taylor. I have 3 convoys I participated to report, and also one (and maybe two) collective kill to claim.

Well, the kill first. I would like to claim my first collective kill, for participating in shooting down the asco gunboat Tutashkhia, as reported here by miss Huntington. There I am in the picture with my Nanda Devi. I remember to have landed at least two snac shots on it.

Well, then, the convoys, yes. So, last day three of this month was my first convoy. We had 5 transports full of ore, and we went from Tau 23 to New Berlin, and then to Dublin, to the B.S. Hood, and after that another mining op there and returning to the Taus later. Here is an image of us close to the Hood.

I had some engine problems in my Shishapangma, so only three days later I would be part of another convoy. But what a convoy! The Insane Convoy Friday, as Miss Morrow described it... Insane indeed! It was awsome to have taken part on such a big operation. Here are all ships posing for the picture in front of Freistad. I'm in my little annapurna, right in front!

Soon after that, the convoy proceeded via Bretonia, due to the high pirating activity the ships had encountered coming from the Kusari/Rheinland route. Delivered the cargo to Kusari and soon after another mining op took place in 23. Soon, the transports were full and we gathered near Java for the departure.

This time we had more escorts, and even the AFC guys were also with us, so we decided to take the more time efficient Kusari route to Rheinland. We in fact encountered a pirate as we entered Rheinland, but the AFC kept him busy and all transports were able to pass by safely. Here we are after delivering the ore to Neu Berlin:

So we ended up in Omega 7. The next day, we started with a big mining operation in O-7, and as I was waiting in my transport while the guys mined two Hessian cruisers and at least one gunboat appeared asking for 'donations'. I dived off plane with my transport full of ore so they couldnt ask for the huge amounts of money they asked earlier to two IMG transports in Frankfurt, and the miners were able to make him miss me in the nebula, so I slowly started turning in the direction of Freistad.

Even after miss Morrow had paid the mother&#%@#$ers, they still attacked our defense ships. So one hessian gunboat was destroyed, and the two cruisers went away. 'All good' we thought, so I docked my transport and jumped in my annapurna to finish the mining. Miss Morrow's transport was the last one to be filled. After that, we went to Freistad to get our transports when one of the Hessians appeared again. Our defense ships went after him, and he fled to Rheinland so to not have the same fate as his gunboat friend. I stayed behind in my annapurna. That's when this ship appeared:

They never said a word. They approached Freistad and started shooting. I called the defense ships back, while the station gunners started opening fire on the corsair cruiser. He soon had to flee out of the range of the station guns, but then our bombers where back. We pursued him and soon he took several nova torpedoes on his face and was destroyed.

Does this count as a collective kill, I wonder? I was the one who sighted the ship first and alerted our defense wing. And I did hit it a few times with the annapurna's charon turrets. Anyway, thats not important if not a kill. The important is that our mine operation was finished, the path was finally clear, so off we went again on a big convoy back to the Taus. We delivered our cargo of ore to Narita, and there took some mining machinery to Java and Falkland. Here is a picture of us yesterday besides Falkland Station in Tau 37:

That's it! A nice start I shall say. I'm enjoying working with you guys and girls!

This is Mac Taylor, signing off.

Convoy Report

Hello, this is Mac. One more convoy to report. This one was the last day 14.

Some big mining operation in 37, and then the well known route through Kusari towards New Berlin. Here we were waiting near Falkland for the last transports finish loading in the field.

When we were leaving our AFC escort reported a pirate following the convoy at a distance, so we quickly proceeded to Kusari space without delay. At the orbit of Kyushu we organized the convoy better, the escort went ahead, clearing the way, and I assumed T-Last at that point, leaving the unexperienced indie trader in the middle.

It was almost uneventful all the way to New Berlin. As soon as all transports had unloaded their cargo we proceeded to Omega 7. In Stuttgart we met some law enforcement fighting some pirates, that aparently were having the advantage and tried to follow us. We exited the lane and lost them in the nebula, that was so dense that we almost lost one of our own ships...

We used the jumphole to Omega 7 and that put us quite close to Freistad already. So from there we were all docked in little time.

The last few days I was off, 'cause of some personal matters, but will be returning to the transport and mining duties shortly.

Mac out.
