I went on a extended patrol a few days ago to harrass our Brit enemies and while cutting across Texas to the Cali jump I was intercepted by an SA pilot. He was flying a Raven's Claw and was no threat. He attacked me at once doing nothing to my ship. I held my fire and explained I currently had no fight with him. He continued to engage and I proceeded to ignore him, Untill he called in a SA cruiser. The cruiser fired on the Varyag at once scoreing a few hits with it's forward gun. I must give credit to my gun crews. They made short work of his shields and hull. Just as his hull was buckleing from the salvos I ordered my crew to cease fire and I gave the Ship the option to leave with her crew alive. They ignored my mercy, rammed our fine ship and lined up her forward gun. It is the policy of this ship and it's captain to use disgression in killing all but our hated enemies, but I was forced to fire and take out the vessel. At this point the original SA Raven's Claw continued his attack, this time joined by a Xeno in a Eagle. Scanning the Eagle I found many navy officers and civilians in his hold and questioned the partnership. They continued to fight and my patience grew thin. My gunners vaporized the Xeno Eagle instantly and the SA Claw broke and ran. With tensions building between Rein and Lib I do not want to burn bridges with Liberty but this attack made it hard not to. What is RHA's stance with showing mercy to Lib Corps and Military forces?
To my next point, ICO. They are a independent security force that seems to have been driven from Liberty and are spreading to our space. I caught ICO Havoc in Dresden but he left before I was able to engage. They seem properly equiped. I have come across them a few times and this is my info on them so far. The Brits will have to wait for now.
Havoc: BH Destroyer with Corsair turrets and 4 cruiser battle razors
Bahamut: BH Battlecruiser, mostly Cerbs and zoner turrets.
The others are flying liberty light fighters.
Commander, RH Cruiser Varyag
On a side note, the Liberty Rouges treated my ship and crew well and gave us pemission to dock at one of their bases to restock and rearm. We sustain minimal damage in the fight and where able to get back underway to return to Vogltand without further issue.
