Tonight, during a deep patrol of Delta system, we received an emergency distress signal from the Cape Hope.
Two Liberty Navy Dreadnoughts, LNS-Delaware and LNS-Silver.Cloud, jumped in unexpectedly from Alaska,
and proceeded towards Toledo. The Recon Cruiser Qetesh tried to intercept the enemies, and by valiantly
facing the superior firepower of the Dreadnoughts, he was able to slow down their advance for long enough
to allow Jeremy Hunter's Osiris leave the berth at Toledo. After a brief exchange of laser fire, it was clear
that the Oathkeeper, although holding out valiantly, won't last for long all alone. The Oathkeeper tactically
retreated while pulling off evasive maneuvers to effectively nullify the enemy's firepower efficiency, while
denying any solid ground for the enemy. By the time Oathkeeper reached Isis, we were already in scanner
range, drifting towards Toledo, guns and shields charged. The enemy regrouped on the dark side of Toledo.
In a cunning maneuver, we attacked the enemy from both sides, effectively confusing them and dealing
severe damage. With the enemy forces split, it was only a matter of time until we would prevail. The
Desolation along with Qetesh destroyed the Delaware first, although suffering substantial damage. The
Oathkeeper had engaged the Silver Cloud, but the battle had no clear victor, the Oathkeeper had to retreat
due to severe damage to the drive core and shield systems, and the Silver Cloud tried to retreat to Alaska,
suffering lesser, although still rather severe damage itself. It's escape was once again denied by the Qetesh,
who swiftly intercepted the fleeing Dreadnaught, effectively disrupting its shields and keeping him at sluggish
pace, while the Desolation conducted long-range bombardment. After one such antimatter blast, the Silver
Cloud was left crippled and an easy target for the sustained barrages of both Qetesh and Desolation. Although
the Order vessels suffered severe damage, no ships were lost, and two invading Dreadnaughts with superior
armor plating were destroyed, effectively setting back the Navy's efforts a good bit.
