Emperor's forces engaged bretonia forces in dundee system today. In the start it was 2 of our bombers, 3 chimaeras and 1 LF vs Destroyer, Gunboat, Bomber, 3 Templars and a Hussar fighter. Their bomber exploded for unknown reasons on the very start of the engagement, most probably due to poor quality of it's reactor.
We successfully downed both GB and Destroyer but lost one chimaera in the process, right after that one of our bombers was lost as well. After a long fight two more of their templars as well as the LF went down. One of our ships had to leave due to engine difficulties so it was 3 ships vs 1.
Then suddenly unexpected bretonian reinforcements came. Running low on fuel were were forced to retreat to Tau31. I personally covered the retreat of our fighter and they both reached Nagasaki safely. 3 Ships kept pursuing me and as we reached Holman one more bomber joined them.
I was able to eliminate one more when a Mandalorian Merc arrived as well. Faced with 4 enemies and now critically low on fuel I contacted Nagasaki for fire support. As their ships couldn't face it's firepower they began to retreat but weren't lucky in their attempts and 2 more fell to my guns.
Seeing this and knowing he had no chance against Battleship firepower, the mercenary left the fight.
