Patrol was initiated at 27/03/824 through the bordering Independant Worlds, some unusual cargo was sighted named 'Military Cargo' headed to Bretonia, naturally, since this wasn't our concern, I continued on with the patrol.
Approaching the Coronado sector, one of our hired arms informed me of a sighting of an Order Primary Fleet vessel at Pecos, I responded to the call and came over to inspect the scenario. Upon flying to the designated zone, I noted a Freelancer hauling samples of Iridium, Azurite and Artifacts, the comm displayed as Clyde, upon the vessel Sorrowful.Selkie, a Voyager. This may be worth investigating.
Arriving at the scene, Order|Banshee was identified as the present vessel. Scans revealed it is a Bastet class ship making use of civilian armaments. I allowed the mercenary to engage the Order in a duel, but they unfortunately got caught between some idiotic Miners Guild pilots who attracted the mines and their vessel was destroyed. An ORG vessel, known as Iona Taylor was sighted undocking from the Independant Miners Guild base, Camp Lister, coming in to the scenario - a Nephthys. I swiftly engaged and realised I was alone for the most part and then later received backup. These Order are weak and pathetic - spouting useless rhetorics, and were shortly destroyed for their screetching. The Iona vessel began to retreat around the Gas Giant, then towards the Cortez Jumphole, but failed in doing such. The pilot gave up and died a nuclear death.
Returning to base due to carrying pods and equipment damage, we ran into the Order's backup, the AFC. The hilarity. We opened fire and reminded them how naive they are for being puppets. In an unexpected manner, an anti-personnal Blood Dragon Gunship arrived at the scene to engage the Ares, leaving them outnumbering us. This vessel is of most interest, most likely hinting at a Blood Dragon alliance, which would be unsurprising due to the relations with the Order.
Within the fight, the AFC received assistance from the Nomads - a Wilde Agent - and another vessel of theirs came to reinforce them. Naturally, the Ares wasn't built for anti-personnel duties and sustained damage from the Wilde after completely obliterating the weak Gunship. Thankfully, the opposing Gunship didn't have rounds designated for destruction, as such, the Ares is under quick repair after being towed from the end of the fight. The mercenary managed to return to the scenario to lend a hand out and destroyed one of the Racers, for which we're thankful for. A misfortunate that Ionstorms were hindering the performance.
The Racers suffered deaths, and sustained very heavy damage, crash landing to Curacao. They were crushed, just like the Order was.
The fight was a laughable waste of time due to our inevitable success, but showed some results, now knowing that the Racers have links to the Blood Dragons. It may be worth while to invest in diplomatic interests in Kusari due to this, perhaps even the Republic.
