A fighter of the Legion was spotted close to Planet Manhatten earlier today. A short dialog of several pilots started and after exchanging just a couple of words between the pilot of the 5th and the Legion, the 5th pilot took matters in his hands and engaged the ship of the Legion.
Weapons fire lit up the sky illuminating the fight scene between the 2 ships. Shields were taken down, hull strength decreased and bots and bats repaired the damage.
After a vigorous fight a mistake of the 5th pilot led to his self destruction by entering Manhatten's atmosphere. Hard to say if it was done on purpose or it was an accident.
Seconds later a message flickered on the neural net console:
ADIRONDECK STATION UNDER ATTACK BY NOMADS
The base is located close to Fort Bush where an Alien Jump Gate supposedly materialized yesterday. We were on our way just to find a Nomad fighter firing at a civilian mining ship. To our very surprise the Legion's fighter came out of nowhere and engaged the Nomad without hesitation but wasn't able to save the Miner.
The Legion's fighter must have picked up two Liberty Navy Pilots during earlier engagements and was now challenged by the LSF to drop them. Out of options and after an intensive discussion another fight emerged, which didn't end well for the Legion's fighter, who only minutes ago fought off the Nomad so bravely.
But that wasn't it. A minute later Rogues appeared close to Manhatten and a small harmless Nomad. One of the Rogues actually tried to get money from us reporters. As we would have a million credits or more.
The Rogues destroyer was engaged by LSF forces and eliminated. Didn't look like a fair fight, but that what happens if you get too close to your enemies head quarters I guess.
The little Nomad on the other hand seemed to have fun flying through the hail of weapons fire. We lost track after a while and don't really know what happened to him.
So that concludes another day in the New York system.
Fun, fun, fun for all of us - well besides of the ones, who ended up in a escape pod of course.
