This is Warrant Officer Chandler, on my first patrol and escort duty this evening. I started of with escort duties from New York, Trenton Outpost to Cortez to the Gateway base there.
During this escort duties we had problems with various pirates. All attacks failed apart from one that was on one of the movers. Bastion was the name of the vessel that went down that belonged to us.
Apart from that all Colonial and IMG pilots and ships got to there destinations safetly, after finishing the moving of Industrial Materials from Trenton to Cortez we moved to Tau 23 with the IMG.
About half way through the moving of Industrial Materials, two more of the Colonial Warrant Officers arrived. One was Brown and the other was Le Grande. We stayed at the back of the convoy to make sure we had nothing sneaking up behind.
On the way back to Tau 23 with the convoy one of the transporters broke down in Cortez. So myself and Brown headed back to make sure all transporters got to Java safetly.
This convoy had it's numbers, there were roughly five escorts, and between five and seven transporters.
When we all reached into Tau 23 we were attacked by the Contari Lance. They came out of no where luckily for me. I managed to stay and fight with our allies the IMG, but we lost both Brown and Le Grande to the attack. I took heavy damage but managed to get repaired and restocks on Java Station after the battle.
We were lucky to have won this fight, but I am now safetly back home, and best go make sure my ship is ready for the next patrol.
I just hope Brown and Le Grande are ok and got home safe, was sad and a shock to see there ships explode right in front of my safe. Damn Outcasts!
They will pay for the loss of both Colonial pilots and ships as well as the IMG!
I was unable to capture any guncam images, as I am still trying to figure out how to fly this damn Nyx, it is one sexy ship though. Flies like a treat.
