Commander F Wolf here. Freeport 9 is being attacked *static* by the SCRA. They shooted at us first and said they will destroy the entire Sirius sector. I was in the Tyrfing with assistance by Mandos. The gunboat can be refitted, but I was hospitalized. Im not sure if Mandos is still engaging *static*
END TRANSMISSION.
Second transmission, some minutes later:
The hospital in Freeport 9 is very good btw. Im already recovered using our 30th century medicine. The refitting of the Tyrfing is nearly complete. Now, the datafiles in my escape pod indicated the SCRA was denying any involvement in the piracy in Tetha, and in this "visit" to us, they stated they were at Tetha just to practice shooting. Guess who were the targets. Being at hostile stance, they were asked to leave. They refused and attacked us, and this, in my opinion, is a declaration of war.

My Brothers, I bring you news of new treachery from the Asgard Warriors. While the RACS-M'zav'koh and Lt-Commander Dieter Zehn we're conducting routine mapping exercises through the Omicrons, they were assaulted by an AW Gunboat/Bomber pair. The Bomber (who appeared to be in command) later claimed that he recieved an 'Incoming Missle Warning' while face-to-face with the Frigate, and assumed he was being fired upon. A vicious battle followed, with the AW gunboat being quickly dispatched, and the bomber continuing harassing fire.
After quite a time, a Bounty Hunter Battleship appeared, and began firing upon the frigate. Although they crew fought back valiantly, the Albatross was no match for the larger, undamaged ship, and was reduced to near scrap. Of the 2300 man crew, 1800 are injured or dead, and Captain Kohlman estimates a three month minimum repair time, before it can even be moved to a more secure location.
Lt-Commander Dieter Zehn managed to escape the combat, with vicious damage, to Strongpoint Gamma, and is now awaiting a new ship delivery (expected within the week).
I was alerted to the situation once the M'zav'koh had been towed back, and I proceeded to make contact with the AW bomber. Although we're now hostile to the AW, I'm proposing a two-week ceasefire, in which we will refrain from entering Omicron Theta, and they will refrain from entering Omega 52*. If this two-week ceasefire isn't broken, both factions will downgrade to 'Unfriendly', and the situation will return to normal.

Although we may have opened fire first, both sides are still equally to blame. The SCRA had been told to stay out of Theta for firing upon ships there. (Forums, and later in-game) When told this, the SCRA ships refused to leave.
Good to hear.
Proceed to Omicron Theta. Your orders are to defend the system, and protect traders, allies and neutrals from pirates and hostile forces.
There has been an increase on piracy at home. A trader already was killed. We must ensure that the Asgard space is safe for people to travel through.

Project "Acropolis" shall soon be under way at our Livadia, the weapons, ships hull, and all other needed materials have been shipped to the shipyards. The repair of the ships hull and major components has been completed. Hopefully, by the end of the week, the 80th will have their new fire support vessel up and running.
The "Acropolis" shall be available to defend Omicron Theta as soon as construction is completed, and all tests have been carried out.

I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
