After Action Report
The following report details the causes, combat, and conclusion of the battle between the Liberty Navy secondary fleet and a large auxiliary rouge force inside New York Space.
On the morning of October 16, I was working on my ship on Planet Houston when I was contacted by the captain of the LNS-Triton, who claimed that there was a rouge destroyer near the Norfolk shipyard. Upon arriving in New York, LNS-Triton, LPI-Maradona.Deigo, and myself intercepted and engaged the destroyer. Unfortunately, the rouge captain retreated to Rochester base where he docked and purchased supplies from the junkers, (I believe we have had trouble with this before, and that perhaps command should investigate this further) despite the fact that a group of junkers denied them permission to land, and I captured his cowardly move on film as evidence.
In any case, the wily criminals proceeded to rally a fleet that included, but was not limited to: the original rouge destroyer (forgot his name but he's the one in the cam shot), a second rouge destroyer(Buddy), one rogue in a werewolf-class fighter (vad_girl), one freelancer in a codename sabre-class fighter (John.Smith), two falcatta bombers (Celadon and Azure.Gryphon) as well as at least one other fighter and a kusari explorer. Luckily, we were re-enforced by the solaris battleship LNS-Zgagam, LN secondary fleet commander Matthew Dragon, and LABCI Midway. Upon Midway's arrival, the enemy sallied forth from Rochester and attacked our fleet inside the debris field. As per the plan, we lured them out of the field and into range of our capital ships. After the first few minutes of the fight, initial casualties were LPI-Diego on our side and Vad_girl on their side.
As the fight progressed both rouge destroyers were forced to retreat, freeing my bomber up for the dogfight. The pirates were re-enforced by Miranda.Lambert and one of the joker's thugs came to spectate (vad_girl also returned, for some unknown reason, but quickly left). After the LNS-Triton was destroyed, our fleet was then re-enforced by 2 BHG gunboats: Mary.Poppins and Seabourg. The Mary Poppins was quickly downed by the Gryphons, while Miranda.Lambert was destroyed by myself and Dragon.
Deciding that the battle was getting out of hand, and concerned for unnecessary junker casualties, I called a cease fire close to 15 minutes into the battle. By this point, the pirates were severely outmanned and outgunned, and I felt that an armistice was a reasonsonable way to end the fight. Unfortunately, as I was negotiating with the pirates, was shot down by Celadon Gryphon in a violation of the cease fire. I was quickly picked up by the LNS-Zagam, where I somehow managed to keep everyone from going nuts and starting the fight again. In the end, The Gryphons, along with the rest of the pirate fleet, agreed to disengage and land.
I am currently en-route back to Texas aboard civilian transport, where I will repair my ship (the junkers were kind enough to help me salvage it) and await further orders.
