Today some Outcast scum seeking revenge for their great loss in our last strike (where a small fleet of our ships destroyed several capital ships, many fighters an bombers, including an Asgard ship) entered Gamma.
We had completely destroyed their forces that day. Unexpectedly today, a fleet of 3 Outcast Destroyers and 2 Raven's Talon fighters entered Crete space. By the time I had launched, I found myself alone, both fighters that were available to defend had already been wiped out. I headed for Tripoli after detecting the ships in the distance, and radioed for in-system assistance. It never came, but one of our ships launched from Crete soon after. It was overwhelmed by the enemies and soon was forced to cruise away. It was being chased until it was finally disrupted, so I went in to assist and managed to destroy one of the fighters less than 5 seconds after disengaging my cruise drive. I targeted the other fighter, but before I could realize what had happened, the onboard computer not able to alert me of the danger due to its speed, my ship was destroyed by an enormous missile barrage from one of the destroyers, the Martinez of the 101st. My Titan was ripped apart by the explosions, but then one of our patrols picked up the escape pod and was able to safely transport me to Crete after which the pilot headed back to space to defend the planet with his life. The Outcasts won today, and left, but they were unable to get the revenge they hoped for. Happy and finally repelled, the ships headed back to the craphole they came from.
This teached us that we must not be carried away by recent losses. We must strive to survive in a harst universe, as many have managed to in the past. We must be alert for our enemies and be ready to defend our territory or destroy their forces.
