Yesterday we received a report of Rheinland warships near the Texas jumpgate - Norfolk shipyard lanes and Polyphemus and Wolverine were sent to the area. We engaged the cloaking device and after arriving at the location we didn't find anyone but picked up a strange reading. We closed in to it and disengaged our cloak. It appeared to be an installation for fortifying Zone 21 as it had several heavy weapon platforms. Getting anywhere close to it is impossible so we engaged the cloaking device and headed off.
On our way out of there we managed to ambush and destroy a dreadnought belonging to the SFC. We caught it off guard and it was quickly destroyed without taking heavy damage. An SFC cruiser approached us shortly and somehow he managed to shoot down Wolverine and we engaged the cloak after picking up several more capital ships heading towards us.
After returning to Vespucci, there was a report on bunch of pirates haunting Magellan, something the Emperor could take care of. After scouting all known pirate hot spots, I didn't find a single pirate, instead I found a Junker which was transporting legal cargo so I let him pass. I thought that was all but 2 Navy transports carrying ship hull panels appeared. I demanded to know their destination and what would they be used for but they refused to answer and I made sure the cargo didn't get to it's destination.
Quote: Wilkinson aboard Libertine here. We heard from Xenos that they had a little bit of trouble near New York jumpgate, something about dreadnoughts and battlecruisers. Upon arrival, we saw several Xenos fighting the navy but they were lacking firepower to bring down the big ones. We charged in with Libertine and took out the first dreadnought. A carrier jumped in and we lured it in the asteroid field aftr\er taking damage from the previous fight, the battlecruiser followed aswell.
The battle took a while to end with several losses on the navy side and medium damages on ours.
Later on, the gunboat "Spleensflash" was recovered in California system heavily damaged and were intercepted by a bomber. The targeting systems were all messed up and the fight took longer than expected.
