Report of 20/07/835 - ZDF encounter on Erie planet orbit
On the night of July 20, I was on night watch at the gate to New York in the Pennsylvania system. During a routine overflight, I received an alert from orbit of the planet Erie, indicating an ongoing battle between local patrol forces and a large Militant ship. I responded to the alert and headed to the planet, finding Lt. Jenkin Shiv engaged in combat with a Q-Class ship - Fearless.
I immediately came to the aid of the allied ship and, during a brief battle, we managed to hit the enemy ship, taking it away from the planet's orbit beforehand. I then docked with the battleship Alma, where my ship is undergoing refueling and a standard maintenance inspection. Scan and black box data attached.
