16-06 Report

Ladies, Gentlemen,

Long time no see I guess, to whoever takes care of the countless reports, eh? While during the last weeks I could avoid the honourable duty of sending in after action reports it's up to me again to inform you about today's victories against the fellow frog-eaters from the neighbourhood.

So, I already knew that something big was going on when launching from the Hades the third time today, as the emergency channels were full of reports about gallic capital ships in the Taus. It didn't take long for a 49th emergency wing, consisting of Horizon, Hellhound, me as well as the Warrant Officers Westridge and Chamberlain, to launch, and soon we gathered 5 Pythos, an Exile-piloted bomber and several Council assets.
Due to the fact the various gallic ships were spread through several Tau systems, an assault plan was created quickly and our forces split up into two teams. While the Firebirds took care of a capital vessel that could be identified as the RNS-Tonnant, which headed towards the Leeds-system, the Exile pilot and the Council troops kept to other battleships in Tau-23 busy. Needless to say, a strikeforce of six Pythos, piloted by goddamn succesful pilots – no arrogance here, seriously – had an easy game with the Tonnant, which's defensive weaponry was completely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of allied vessels and was crippled after a relatively short fight.

But with the Tonnant disabled, the fight was not over yet, as the Council forces were quite busy pinning the two other battleships down, which seemingly defended a GMS installation in Tau-23. The vessels with designations Julian and Sceptre gave the Council a pretty tough fight. Well, until the cavalry arrived, if you get what I mean.
From the point of our arrival on it was a cakewalk to remove those Gallic buggers from this world. Guncam proof of their destruction is attached to this file.

But, to give this report a personal note, frikkin' best thing of the day was what happened after the destruction of both Valor-class battleships. We did not take note of him first, but there was an EFL| security pilot around who seemed to be quite a bit baffled about how his protectors just went boom! When we already decided to head back to the Hades, he followed us, probably in order to mess with everyone of us. I'm pretty sure that guy went totally nuts.
However, to get rid of that little problem on our tails, we made up a plan: As all of our pilots flew Pythos it could have been difficult to cripple that fighter, so I gladly took the job to distract the EFL| guy until we got fighter support from the Hades. To make this report not any longer, I'll keep a long story short with saying that after Flight Officer Langley and Warrant Officer Westridge picked up their Nyxes and I had some fun with the Frog-eater, we quickly removed this annoyance. What'd be nothing but another kill on today's long list!
