Greetings,
The following is a more detailed report of what happened in the New London system several days ago between us and =BSG=.
The Indomitable was on shore leave on planet Gran Canaria when the skeleton crew comms officer recieved a distress call from the RAPS-Sleeper.Cell, our new prison ship. The distress call stated that there was several =BSG= ships hot on their trail, and that they were in an asteroid field close to the Cambridge jumpgate. The reason stated for the chase was that the =BSG= were attempting to help police the Cambridge system and found our ship carrying contraband.
After issueing a general recall of the Indomitable's personnel, we left and travelled at top speed into Omega-50, Poole, and finally New London, where we rendevouzed with the RAPS-Sleeper.Cell at the Poole jump hole.
As we left Gran Canaria, we also issued a request for assistance, and the RACS-Procrastinator, Admiral James Anthony's flagship, responded. We were relieved to have such a solid reinforcement arrive.
There were several tense minutes of system squaks which ended in the =BSG= demanding monetary reparations from the ships that had attacked them. We responded that no SCRA vessel would pay anything to =BSG=. Admiral Warhammer then gave the clearance they needed to shoot us, and two bombers appeared and started circling our position. Their main forces converged on our location.
There were at least two or three bombers, Admiral Warhammer's flagship(a Battlestar Advanced), and possibly a fighter ranged against our three capital ships. All our forces drove straight for the Admiral's ship, and we destroyed it in less than half a minute of firing. The =BSG= forces then withdrew and we left the system heading back to Omega-49 via Poole and Omega-50.
No casualties were sustained by our forces, and they only lost their battleship, although we stripped the bomber's shields a couple times. Admiral Ant was in private communication with the Admiral Warhammer, who had apparently survived the destruction of his ship. A cease fire was declared and the SF warned us that any hostilies in Cambridge would get them involved on the enemy's side. SF-Firebird had watched the whole incident at a safe distance, along with several freelance ships witnessing the system wide chat.
We acknowledged the SF request, and light banter ensued for a short time.
During the pre-fight chat, there was some posturing and threatening. I now believe that the =BSG= realize that even though they may have a near two to one advantage, we have the superior ships, pilots, and equipment, which may have led to the cease fire.
