Destroyer Abaddon set out from Sulawesi after delivering repair supplies from Coronado. Having recently fixed her IFF subroutines, the ship is now running in full ghost-mode, which played a critical role in our action soon after. During mobilization back to Minato to take up with the defensive grid once more, we came across two Crayter warships (Flexitarian, a Sagarmatha, and Beegan, a typical Thanatos cruiser) staring down one of the Captana's diverse forces (-|-H.Valiente, a Sarissa).
While moving to ascertain the homeworlder's intentions, motives, and affiliations, the Crayter forces appeared to believe us to be a standard freelance vessel. Despite normal rules of engagement, we continued, as they were out of range for combat.
The battleship we'd been questioning was soon identified as just another pawn of the 'dream', and we moved to engage. At first, the Crayterians moved to support, but soon pulled out to let us deal with the insurrection. The battleship was put down with no structural damage sustained, and following the end of combat Abaddon was moved back to Minato for a quick resupply.
I estimate that Abaddon will be taking part in the defensive operations quite substantially. Authorization has been given, and the homeworlders behind this invasion clearly have no respect for the Republic's ambitions.
We stand ever ready.
Despedida.
