There is an update of the last encounter between AW forces and the CUFF:
The AW-Anduril, nicknamed "Flame of the west". Part of the AW taskforce that attacked the CUFF forces.
The AW task force main cruisers ember and Anduril preparing for battle:
Reinforcements Arrive! Gezza, from the 282nd elite AW swad shows up!
Reaver joined the AW taskforce against the CUFF. He was after a bounty:
Bombers doing recon, looking for the enemy cruiser on gamma unknown..
Contact CUFFS!. The Cuff cruiser moon-spawn found after a sneak attack against the anduril. Went warp as soon as the bomber wing entered the operations teather.
Warp Straffing!. THe Moon-Spawn entered weapons range while at warp, Bombers open fire but with little success.
The CUFF reinforcement showed up on our sensors briefly, but dissapeared almost instantly..
Pursue continues through Theta...
then Alpha... where they recived reinforcements. Surpirsingly they both run away instead of fighting 2 tiny bombers...
and Beta...
Uh... No. we are not stupid...
Reaver was hit by a torpedo and lost all weps. The CUFF escaped in the confusion. Could not jump because an NPC was using the jumphole :angry:
After that, the taskforce lost them from sensors.
We had to remark that they only engaged AW forces while 2 CUFF vs 1 AW. Almost destroyed the Anduril, but when the bombers arrived, they flew.
There are no more pics due to Korrd's recorder failure near beta JH. :(

The Aftermath of the Omicron Run
After nearly loosing the cruiser Anduril I docked it for repairs at Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta and boarded The Ravager to continue pursuit while the posse went on. I tried intercepting the CUFF before they reach the Alpha jump but failed in the attempt I reckoned they were heading to Kusari space. I had a surprise waiting at Ainu Depot, just to reach in time.
Realising that The Ravager doesn't stand a chance to succeed in going through the rocks fast enough, I took my personal Sabre through to Hokkaido and I assumed command of the Ampoliros and headed to Honshu where the CUFF were at the time. Then they went to Sigma-13 to realise that another AW battlegroup was coming from that direction on an intercept course lead by Captain Alpha.
The CUFF vessels backtracked to Chugoku and docked at the Blood Dragon base of Kyoto and dissapeared off our screens (read: F1>main menu :)). My perseverence in pursuing to the vicinity of Kyoto base proved to give fruitfull results as Ampoliros' sensors detected [CUFF]Rogue one of the CUFF vessels the Anduril engaged at Toledo.
We hailed the enemy vessel.
Of course, as his friend and traitor to AW wasn't there Rogue stayed basecamping refusing to fight.

GNN news. News from the front!
The Phantom terrorist known as "Blackbeard" and a Bounty Hunter nicknamed "sklave" were able to take down two CUFF ships today.
The ships were 2 fighters piloted by the same pilot nicknamed ARCANGEL.
Sklave killed him first. Like 20 minutes later, Blackbeard was able to lower his shields and put a nova on the cockpit. As the time of this newsletter, it is not known if the pilot survived the attack.
There is a pic from Blackbeard flight recorder from the attack on the CUFF Cruiser "Rogue":
After taking down the fighter and dealing some damage to the ships (and running out of novas :( ) the Attackers (Blackbeard and sklave) left the battle.
OOC: (Sorry i dont have pics of ARCANGEL dieing, but it was too fast, he was there and then BOOM nova, and he wasnt there any more. Also, i missed the key and pressed "pause/break" instead of screen capture :P)
Virus has more pics. I think he will make a post regarding this battle later.
