Comm. ID: HF Pilot Photuin To: HF, Thastus Location: Mactan, Magellan System Subject: Defection
Thank you for accepting me into the HF. Bretonian politics, as of late, are becoming increasingly disturbing, and I had no choice but to run away. You may have hunted the SF in the past, but you were right all along.
"Whilst I say I am surprised at your defection... I am glad to see you amongst our ranks. Welcome to the Legion mate, we shall bring justice to your galaxy!"

Interesting. You appear to see our side of the story now. Excellent.
Now, as you may or may not know, the majority of us have been betrayed multiple times by people we thought were our allies. The Liberty Navy, the Traitor Kayvesk, and many others. Personally, I have been betrayed more than just a few times. However, you will find refuge, and revenge, within the Legion.
Welcome to the Hellfire Legion, the destroyers of all traitors and scum.
I am Beholder - unknown and unheard.
I would like to request assylum at the Vespucci system as it is the home of my bretheren. Me and my Spyglass will support your efforts if available.

the HFGB-Smash was on a recon mission, spying out traders. he was intercepted by an LSF battlecruiser near houston. Smash sent the HFGB-Mentu a private comms, which was posted at rochester. i made my way to texas straight away, and assissted. within 5 minutes, the battlecruiser we eliminated.
One of the Recon boys reported in at Mactan today that we had a massing of LSF and SA troops today out at Los Angeles. Suspecting treachery, the commander of the Serapis ordered all fighters to scramble. The Eclipse, Ensign Photuin, an independent Blood Dragon Azuma Hiraki, and the mighty battleship Thick-as-a-Brick responded to the call, massing at the Vespucci jumphole.
A Strategy Session was held, and Photuin made the rather brilliant suggestion to take the back door in from Cortez. As we jumped to Cortez, the Liberty Navy sent a small reconniasance force led by the Washington into Magellan. They realized their mistake too late, however, as by that time our mighty battle group had moved on Los Angeles. The first to go down was the Liberty Dreadnought Ordos; Serapis and Eclipse flanked and herded in in the right direction, and Thick-as-a-Brick opened up with her mighty guns and blew the oxygen straight out of the hull.
At this point, a Liberty Cruiser, the Loky, another Gunboat, and several fighters moved in on our position off of the Ordos's burning hulk. The Loky, once again, was herded into line by the Eclipse and the Serapis, and Thick-as-a-Brick's main cannons showed no mercy. 'Twas at this point that the only Hellfire casualty, the honorable Dragon Azuma Hiraki, in an attempt to capture the escape pod of the Loky, was caught in the explosion from the forward gun.
After this, the fighters became very annoying, and the three or four of them were expertly taken down by Photuin, Serapis, and Eclipse. Washington showed up, and was promptly chased down and destroyed.
At this point, a very unusual thing occurred... the temporal echo of the Loky appeared, and begged us to return to it some strange item called a "Name Change Certificate"... we ejected some random scroll we found in our cargo hold and it ran off with it, disappearing into the void.
At this point, the battle group returned to Vespucci. The entire battle group became intoxicated on America's bar, and went to sleep well-sated.

"Good work my friends, today was a glorious day. And we shall continue making such raids against them. Perhaps they will see their foolishness and hand over those traitors...well personally I enjoy crushing their fleets..."

and many thanks for your timely assistance Mentu. That LSF scum had me pinned and outgunned in Texas. I hope that this engagement sends a message to the treacherous dogs that they are unwise to mess with the
MIGHTY HELLFIRE LEGION.
