Greetings Comrades,
Today was another great operation for the Fighter Corps.
We set out with a small raiding party to Omega-15 upon reports of multiple Rheinland warships. Consisting of 3 Bombers, 2 Fighters and 2 Gunboats we set course for Battleship Schwerin, where we found a Rheinland Carrier. It claimed to be on a peaceful mission and unarmed as it approached us. During a rather lengthy conversation , it dawned upon us all that something was wrong, and as the Carrier then tried to run while we were still having a conversation , it was engaged.
As we had thought it would happend, another Carrier and a Cruiser appeared and engaged. The fight was lenghty and the unarmed carrier was left to run as our focus went to the Cruiser and Fully Armed Carrier. Sadly we quickly lost the Kursk and one Fighter, but managed to destroy the Carrier after it jumped to Dresden. After the destruction of this , we engaged the Cruiser, while a Rheinland Battleship joined the fray , assisting the Cruiser, but as the battleship was slowly drained of its emergency repairs and power due to supplying the Cruiser ,it ran leaving its comrade behind for our taking, which happened not too long afterwards. In the face of growing enemy Capital Ships arriving in the System and our supplies running low, it was ordered to fall back to Omega-52 to rearm and grab some supplies.
