Olá fellow Corsairs,

Today was quite a busy day for us.

It all started when a small battlegroup, lead by the CNS-Andromeda send a call for backup in the Omicron Beta system.
They were being followed by several Maltese bombers, aswell as a gunboat vessel.
I launched my personal Titan, since I didn't expect much of this fight.
Seems like I was wrong. The Maltese were quickly reinforced by a few fighters, aswell as a Wilde gunboat and a few Nomad fighters.
I called Guarda-marinha Victor Carballo, who gathered a fighter squadron to support us.
With their help, the bombers were easy targets, but the fight in Beta proved to be complicated, due to the dense asteroid field and the nebula. That's why we decided for an strategical retreat to Omicron Xi., were we continued the fight against the combined enemy forces.

The Nomads were quickly taken care of and died to a few shots.
It seems more effective for them to send in their Maltese serfs, than to fight us themselves.

This time, the Outcasts did not cease their attack after a few losses, and even brought some capital ships into Xi, to respond to our retreating battlegroup. That proved to be a fatal mistake, since their inexperienced captains were no match for the veteran commanders of our battleships. So they were pushed back quickly.

Meanwhile, the fighter engagement was still going on. With both sides fielding several elite fighter pilots, aswell as dozens of other, well trained pilots, the fight was intense and losses on both sides were high.
Eventually, one side had to come out on top - this time luck was on our side. Several of the Outcast elite fighters were defeated in a short time, mostly because of their mistake to overuse the jumphole between Omicron Xi and Beta, which allowed us to drain their hull severely every time they entered or exited the jumphole.
Due to that loss, we had a window of opportunity to hit the enemies with a numerical superior force, against which they couldn't stand. That however, didn't reduce the danger posed by the individuals who were smart enough not to rely on the jumpholes as much. After almost two hours of intense fighting, my Titan took a few too many shots on the hull, and I had to abandon the ship.

I was next to a battleship of the secondary fleet at the time, so I got away without further troubles. From what I heard on said battleship, the Maltese brought another wave of battleships, which were also defeated.
But since I was not present during that time, I can not provide any further information about the rest of the fight.
I heard reports though, that the remaining Outcasts either retreated towards Omicron Beta, or were shot down.

We did good today, but I am sure that was just the beginning. Be prepared, there will be more soon.

Tchau
Vice-almirante Lucia Jaquez
