Well, brothers, let's face it, we lost a great battle against Outcasts and their allies today.

But let's start from the beginning. Our long range scanners were showing our former brother Jose Diablo, who deserted to Ghosts of Razgriz. We obviously decided to hunt him down. I happened to be in the next system so I engaged while the rest of our brothers were coming. But two more GoR fighters joined the battle and it looked like I am the one who was hunted.

Luckily for me, the rest of brothers showed up quickly, It was brother Montoya in his Titan, brother Costello in his gunboat and brother Nexus in his Titan. For some time it was looking very good, Outcasts were outnumbered and the fight was going well (even though the support of local Outcasts was massive). But more Outcast allies showed up. 2 more NovaPG fighters and one AW fighter joined the battle and the advantage switched sides.

We started to loose, and were taken down one by one. Too late a wing of BSG fighters appeared, as we already almost lost the battle and I was the only one from the Brotherhood left. I managed to criple the AW fighter, but then my ship was destroyed and I had to eject. Luckilly for me, the Outcasts were occupied with the BSG wing and I could be picked up by our rescue team with the rest of the brothers.

I attach some pictures from my ship camera:

Admiral, I'd like to thank you for your support in our battle against Outcasts. In the time your wing of Vipers appeared, our battle was already lost, but it gave us hope, that next time we can count on you and your great pilots. Thank you again.

And regarding our former incident, I believe our bank already transfered our mutually agreed reimbursement to your storage ship Constellation.

(If I can indulge in a bit of OOC for a minute.... It seems like a great fighter-on-fighter battle. No great lumbering capships, except the odd GB, just alot of skillful dogfighting. Congratulations to all parties involved. This is the quintessential Outcast v Corsair, along with their allies, at its finest. Remind me to be there next time......)

Elder Farquar,

we really missed your Titan in that battle. But the attack wasn't a planned one I am afraid. Jose Diablo just showed up and and immediate actions had to be made. Ghosts of Razgriz showed us amazing piloting skills and unless we start working on our battle coordination there is only a small chance to win any battle against them. I suggest we start training our brothers every time we can.

Good news my brothers, i have just supervised the compleation of the Velasco - Our new Osiris class battleship, i took her out for routine tests ( ID / Tag ) but we got roodly interupted by a wing of Novas near crete, she faired faily well in her first engangment, im sure once i get used to such a big ship and refit some new weapend systems she will be deadly addition to our fleet.



Befor i had to go the battle outside ctete was going ok, with help from the reinforcements from the BSG and a couple of "none" brotherhood corsairs and our very own brother nexus was also in battle.

On another note,

I would like to request some training missions, fighters aganst fighters, fighters aganst cap ships and cap ships aganst each other.

We need to make us more of one unit and with your permission id like to help with it aswell.

Regards,

-Joe Costello

We lost another great battle today versus NovaPG at the cost of 2 Brotherhood members, 3 BSG members and a Corsair Pilot named Spacewolf. We start with the begining of the whole bloody mess, our scouts picked up a total of 5 NovaPG's on the outskirts of Omicron Delta. Pretty close to Corsair space, and this was a bit alarming, so we took measures and increased our scanners power levels to maximize their scanning range. Apparently, the sensors indicated an attack was immanent upon Omicron Gamma. Immediately I performed a Sirius wide scan for backup, and picked up some BSG members. After sending mutiple SOS comm messages on all frequencies the BSG responded, and our plan was formed.

The members involved in the battle were as follows:

=BSG=Panzer
=BSG=Bellerophon
=BSG=Starbuck
neXus[TBH]
Velasco[TBH]
Spacewolf

VS

(NovaPG)-VHFighter-005
(NovaPG)-Adixu
(NovaPG)-MacShift
(NovaPG)-Intoxication
(NovaPG)-Die-Hard
{Bushido}-Mota

Here are some camera shots from my ships action camera.




OOC:
We would like to thank all of BSG for supporting us on such short notice, and to Spacewolf who had to leave early in the fight but none the less helped from the start. We would also like to thank NovaPG for one great fight that nearly lasted a full 30 minutes. It was very fun and entertaining to watch.

Though we suffered a great loss yesterday, which I regret not being present for, I tried to redeem the Brotherhood somwhat by attacking the traders that frequent our territory and therefore drawing out the SF from their little hole. The first trader, [IND]Tannix.Shipping, I nearly had, but a large drifting rock caused us to screech to a halt from full cruise speed, with the sheilds sustaining integrity depite the impact. My crew and I were catapulted from our workstations, and by the time everyone had recovered, the large train had escaped.

By the time we disengaged the persuit of the first trader, an SF fighter, the Grenthal, had registered on the intergalactic register, and I told him that I was here to kill him, when the Stormcrow wasn't around. He made planetfall before I had a chance to catch him, and waited for swift re-enforcements by the SF bomber, Beta-5. The pilot of the bomber had a very bad aim, and I damaged him badly, as well as downing the Grenthal (2 deaths for the bomber, 3 for the fighter).

In an act of mercy, i spared the bomber the finishing blow. However, I was brutally betrayed when he again attacked after calling in an RM gunboat, the Wasser. Due to the heavily damaged state that Beta-5 was in, I targetted him first, and it wasn't too long before he had his ship taken away from him. The Wasser, once his bomber friend had been dispatched, didn't stand a chance due to it's inferior armament, and was dispatced aswell. (3rd kill of Beta 5, 1 kill of Wasser)

It gets even better. The bounty hunter, Micah Shoultz, decided that it was the perfect time to get hired, and proceeded to attack my ship. On his own, he did nearly as much damage as the gunboat and SF bomber combined. Admittedly, this wasn't much damage, and he was heavily damaged. He decided to surrender, and I sparred him his life. (2 deaths)

Barely a moment passed, and 3 IND fighters, Bettie Page, Sam Asher, and Derek Mandel (The pilot of Tannix.Shipping, no-less) appeared on my scanners, followed up by an Inquisitor, Volkmar. The Mantis was being swarmed, and there was little the crew or I could do about it. The shield went down multiple times, and I was left limping home with barely any hull integrity left (still no deaths for me). However, they werent about to give up.

Our first jump into Omega 5 was hindered by the asteroids, and we knew that we couldn't outrun their agile fighters. However, we tried our best, and succeeded in hacking a hostile trade lane. This trade lane, we docked with, and distruped at almost the same time, and as such, I gained a massive lead on the four hostile targets.

It was about this time that brother neXus registered, and I immediately asked him for help. He said that he was engaged with the business of policeing our home (which I can fully sympathise with) but that he could give me complete directions. His help was invaluable against the IND, who got split up, with Bettie page being the lone persuer. Brother neXus was keeping an eye on the intergalactic register for me while myself and my crew concentrated on flying the severely weakened vessel out of hostile territory.

In Omega 49, inspiration struck me, and I turned around and attacked the lone fighter. Almost immediatly, Bettie began to stall for time, swerving away from my guns. However, this drew the other two IND away from Omega 5, where they were waiting for me. I knew that Bettie had no cruise distruptor, so, my motives accomplished, I moved out and began a long trek around and through the Tau systems, Kusari, and the sigmas. I returned home with my exhausted crew and ship in barely one peice. But we had accomplished havoc in Bretonia, by outsmarting and outgunning all the lawful forces in the area.

The crew of the Mantis have spent an elongated time in the boozers lounge, but are ready for more action and distruption.

The performance of my crew and brother neXus, who has been mentioned too little in this report, cannot be emphasised enough. My crew accomplished near 100% aim and damage control, as well as superior engine management and prompt missile loading times. brother neXus provided invaluable help, and it cannot be stressed enough that my crew and I would have perished under the guns of the IND had he not helped me when he did.

In return for this, brother neXus would like to discuss with admiral Dboy of Blacksquadron to purchase a Ravens Talon, which i fully endorse. I feel that he deserves it completely.

Welcome to the Brotherhood, the honour is ours. Hope we meet in The Boozer's Lounge soon and have a party to get to known with each other!

Vandire reporting today’s events.

Myself and 2 other brothers have preformed, as always, as only members of the brotherhood could possibly hope to achieve.
(I wont name them as to reduce the volume of assassination attempts)

I will however tell you of our little expedition.

We left crete with visions of adrenalin filled mighty battles, and we did not disappoint,
with our numbers only 3 we flew into the very heart of Bretonia, New London,
where we were confronted by a SF battle ship and its escort, along with 3 Bretonian police battleships,
6 cruisers and several fighter wings.(npcs)

After making relatively short work of the SF we then moved onto the Bretonian police leaving nothing but their
silent hulls drifting away with the stories of their demise clear from their scarred buckled surfaces.

From there we headed on towards Rhienland with the only witnesses restrained in our cargo holds for later interrogation.

We blazed our way through omega-7 in anticipation of Rhienland, oh what bounties lay there Hessains, navy, police, traders, the feeling,
it was intoxicating, we took anything we could cram into our cargo holds with no consideration for the prisoners aboard,
even jettisoning those who looked to weak to have made the journey.
We neutralized key targets within the Hessains and Rhienland police that we where previously unreachable.

With our cargos full, and our accomplishments many we left the confines of police territory via the sigma-13 jumphole in New Berlin.
We set our course for Gamma to return with our spoils, we truly felt like brothers of the brotherhood,
we did the undoable we gained valuable intel and gained more experience in that 1 venture than most men have in a life time.

Excuse my shortened version of the events brothers but I am weary after the battles.

I will report more next shift for now, rest.

Be proud brothers for we are the brotherhood, and we are the mighty.
