Under Commander Bethunes orders I am to provide a detailed accounting of the 4 separate actions I took part in over the past two days since joining the CPW-Social.Credits crew.
The First action to report was a patrol mission to log jump holes and systems into the Social Credits computer. It was decided to do a full circumnavigation of the Sirius sectors starting in 0-11 and ending back in O-52.
The Patrol was uneventful, a few encounters with Kusari warships in Leeds that resulted in some damage to the vessel and the exhaustion of the onboard Battery and Bot supply. However stores were replenished from salvaging several wrecked fighters in the Tau systems. A strategy that would prove useful in encounter-4 detailed below.
Upon returning to O-5 I encountered Comrade-Lieuteant Heinz setting out on patrol. The Comrade was proceeding through the O-50 hole. The CPW-Social Credit gave escort as far as the O-5 system, where the Comrade-Lieutenant encountered a Senior member of the Reapers of Sirius, one Juan Zavala. Upon Comrade Heinzs request to allow him to engage one-on-one, I ordered the Gunboat to take station over the combat area and warn off any intruders. Allowing the two men to battle.
Comrade Heinz was victorious, succeeding in decimating the Reaper fighter, sending it in full retreat from the field.
Escort was given to Comrade Heinz back to base for repairs.
Patrol Two, under Commander Bethunes orders, was to interdict pirates in and around Liberty. We at first positioned ourselves in California, but the appearance of a trio of pirate gunboats (one Freelancer Blue.Raven, a Be.Good.At.It and a woman named Chana) forced us to re-evaluate our position and move to Bering.
We successfully interdicted the Bering trade lane, outside of the NFZ around the Freeport. Encountering a Pirate by the name of Foe.hammer, sending him fleeing from the system.
Finally we linked up with Comrade Heinz as he disseminated information to the citizenry of New Berlin as to the drunken behaviour of their Military.
Encounter-Three was with an OPG Bomber in O-50, proving the need for continued training on combat maneuvers. Comrade Razin and Commander-Commissar Luis Gellantra provided excellent instruction on Gunboat operations.
Encounter Four:
Switching to my Partisan Fighter, I was returning to Omega-52 via the Magellan system, when I encountered an LSF bomber outside of his jurisdiction. The flight recorder and gun cam photos of the resulting battle are provided. I only withdrew after the target linked up with a Liberty Heavy Battle Squadron in the California system, forcing me to withdraw.
Encounter Five: upon distress call from Comrade Heinz, the CPW-Social Credit and Comrade Razin proceeded to New Berlin. I will leave the report to Comrade Heinz to detail the encounter.
Of particular note is both Comrade-Lieutenant Heinzs valour and superior flying in the O-50 system.
