Command,
While on patrol I encountered a Nomad vessel Irra class call sign Kal'el near the Texas jump gate in the New York system. Due to the size of the craft I sent a system wide signal advising all civilian craft to stay clear. My hail was heard by the LNS-Heaven's.Door an Overlord class which came to assist. When the Heaven's Door arrived the Irra attempted to run and I was able to successfully disrupt its cruise system. The Heaven's Door then dismantled the nomad vessel with its weapons systems.
Following on from the nomad encounter I had a brief encounter with the MNS-Borea alongside a Bounty Hunter vessel Django_Fet. The Borea rabbited for the Badlands and as per standard procedures I did not follow into this area.
At this point, the Akhetaten had reported Insurgency vessels on scanners. Though not in a fully appropriate vessel to assist I moved to Fort Bush and then towards the Planet Pittsburgh as advised by the Akhetaten. Upon arriving I was met by a squad of numerous craft including heavies and Snubs. While fighting off the Insurgency vessel a Rheinland cruiser the RNC-Einbeck appeared on sensors. We initiated standard challenge protocols however a S8 Vessel the Emissary advised that the craft was infected and as such it became the priority target. At this point the Valley Forge had also arrived to assist. During this time several craft including the previously mentioned Borea and a Hacker craft the Hoarfrost had arrived closely followed by the =LSF=Los.Alamitos. The lower priority threats of the Lane Hacker and S8 vessel were de-prioritized as we focused on the primary threats.
The Borea and the Einbeck were dispatched relatively quickly by the combined firepower of the capital craft on station. I provided what assistance I could. By the end of the engagement my fighter was damaged and therefore I was unable to deal with the Hoarfrost or escort the Emissary from our space on this occasion. Instead returning to base to repair and resupply with the permission of the Akhetaten's skipper. I have attached full communication logs of the event. Unfortunately my gun camera was damaged and therefore there isn't any visual footage.
The skipper of the Akhetaten and the Valley Forge should be able to corroborate my report should it be necessary.
That is all.
