Battle Report
The SA was requested to help out our allies, the KNF, from Helghast attack in Honshu. Admiral OsoRojo (Avenger) was on the scene first, followed by Lt. Razr (Gunboat) and myself in the LNS Magnum. We joined several KNF pilots (2x Gunboats, 2x fighters) on the front line, near the Honshu -> Sigma 13 jumpgate. KNF Misfit was in command, with Admiral OsoRojo second. The current hostiles were in Sigma 13, apparently ready to attack.
We stationed fighters at the Honshu -> Sigma 13 Jumphole, and the main fleet at the jumpgate. The start of the battle soon turned into an endurance test. Neither us or them made the first attack for a long while.
Until a Blood Dragon (cruiser) used the jumphole to suprise us and, being equiped with many missiles, gave the fighters stationed there a lot of damage. As soon as my cruiser was on the scene, the Blood Dragon made haste to jump back to Sigma 13. We knew this was just bait, so we waited Honshu side. With my cruiser stationed at the jumphole, this Blood Dragon's bait tactics were less efficent and not working.
More waiting ensued, until the jumpgate fleet were hit by a couple of Helghast fighters, and the Blood Dragon cruiser. All were damaged severely and forced to retreat (They all died) except the Blood Dragon, who ran further into the cloud and went out of sight. Significant damage was given, however.
Even more waiting... Most of the fleet was stationed at the jumpgate now, with a KNF light fighter scouting the jumphole, ready to run as soon as contact was made.
Everyone was getting edgey at this point. The waiting was almost unbareable. That is, until countless (5?) Helghast fighters, the Blood Dragon cruiser and 2 Outcast destroyers all passed through the jumphole. Our scout warned us and soon there was a massive battle taking place. Admiral OsoRojo took heavy damage and had to leave the fight to repair (died 3 times) so I took second in command. The pirates took more damage than they dealt, and soon their forces were whittled down considerably.
And then, as if by coincidence, everyones consols caught fire, and everyone needed to head back and repair. (Flame-ish comments in system chat. Mood was lost etc etc)
All hostilities then ceased and peace within Kusari was restored. Good job to everyone flying out there.

ooc: sorry for the lack of screenies. By the time i remembered to take them the battle was over and the proceeding system chat had wiped the kills off my comms.
