Greetings!
I bring news of our victory against the Hellfire Legion. Although Captain Remus Sius would have been delighted in reporting this, I pray that he is in no way in any state of harm.
First things first... we obliterated a bunch of pirates who liked to crowd the Cali JG-Mojave lane.
Enemy forces consisted of:
4
Tridentes: The.Duke, The.Mrs, Tyka, Maverick (
3 Destroyed)
1
Falcata bomber: Billy.T.James(
Destroyed)
2
Fighters:Yuma, Astelan (
Both Destroyed)
As we had no snubcraft available, we made use of the capital ships lying around New York. We made a battleformation around California Jump Gate and made a Battleline. The pirates were scattered like hell and didn't know what to do. They were unaware of the guns bearing down before them. We charge at them at impulse spped and fired like there's no tomorrow. They were stupid enough to charge right at us... With all the Mortars,Primaries and Cruiser turrets blazing, they went down one by one. Until fighters were left to the Gunboat and Fighter, the remaining pirates fled for their lives.
Friendly Forces:
LN-Mathew.Dragon- Bomber
LNS-Douglas- LABC
LNS-Nimitz- LABC
LNS-Odyssey- LABC
LNS-Boat- Dreadnought
LNS-CapeTown- Siege Cruiser
LNS-Vanilla- Gunboat
Perses- Fighter
I didn't manage to get some photos as my guncam wasn't repaired prior to the fight.
During the next few moments, we made sure New York was secured from any threat. Capital ships were stationed to guard Manhattan, Norfolk, Fort Bush and West Point. It seems as though New York was under Martial Law.
A few Hellfire Legionaires (in fighters) were present in the area but since we had no snubcraft they were ignored but not ignored completely. They were circling our capital ships. It seems as though they were vultures attempting to pick us off one by one. But as I warned my fellow Captains that being separated can get you easily destroyed, they stayed side by side. LNS-Boat, LNS-Vanilla, and LN-Mathew.Dragon had to dock. And they were replenished by the arrival of:
Reinforcements came:
LNS-Columbia- Dreadnought
TF7|RA-J.Miller- Bomber
A word got out that the
Incursus was spotted in New York. I hailed all Captains to stand vigilant and keep their eyes open. At Manhattan, we spotted the
Incursus' signature. The radar picks its signature up and then loses it and then picks it up again. This goes on for about a few minutes until I looked up and saw its engine trail. We lost it since it had engaged cruise 14k from us.
At this time, we were disorganized a bit. Until enemy ships were spotted near the lane to Fort Bush, they seemed to scouting us. Reporting every move we make until one capital ship was singled out. Vultures! I say, we held together and made sure no one got separated. At Fort Bush we encountered enemy ships:
[HF]-HFB-Incursus- Osiris
(Destroyed)
[HF]-HFU-Lake.Crescent- Repair ship
(Destroyed)
LRF|David.Bishop|- Fighter
[HF]-Guy.Dale- Fighter
[HF]-S-Avril.Parker- Fighter
Veera.Allen- Fighter
The fighters tried to separated our fleet by disrupting the lanes... They got the
LNS-Columbia alone. With Miller, we quickly got back to their positions and engaged them. The Incursus finally revealed itself, high above the plane, when it decided that it could get the Columbia before we came. It was wrong. We caught them by surprise... thinking that we were disorganized. We fired all the guns we could... the Nimitz, Odyssey, Columbia, and Douglas all fired their guns at the dreaded ship. Suddenly the Osiris was detected starting to cloak, we soon lost contact. But by some miracle it showed itself again and finally it went down under the combined firepower of the Fleet.
Reactor Exploding
Final Explosion
It only goes to show these pirates and Legionnaires alike. We Libertonians lack any sort of skill but our advantage is that we got numbers. The only thing we need now is proper coordination.
This is Lieutenant James Madison signing off.
Today,remember this day as we got the Incursus.
