It was a exciting day today, it had became official that the Ghosts' base of operations was now to be in Omega-47. As we were relocating our squadron to Casablanca base and scouting the surrounding areas, we came across a Armed forces member. We were in Dublin at the time and had no intrest in this person at all, untill three corsairs also entered my scanner range. I was in my test fighter the Crow and Captain Velvet was in his newly constructed Gun boat, courtesy of the Molly's.
I was able to scan the ships and learn that the Armed forces was a Gunboat, as well as two of the corsair fighters. My captain suggested he retrieve his Cruiser from the near by Casablanca base in Omega 47, i agreed and attempted to stall them while he flew to Omega 47.
The corsairs lost on my scopes and the only one i had was the Armed forces member, he chased me all around but i mainly led him through a mine field, hopeing his large size would trigger more than my agile and small fighter. Seeing that not working, i headed to the Molly's guard system, as we were friends i had hoped to seek aid from them.
The Armed forces followed and was quickly assaulted by three weapons platforms and many fighters, he was forced to leave only moments after entering the system. I followed him back into Dublin and ran through the mine field a few more times. The corsairs re appeared and were hot on our tails ( mine and the Armed forces). The two Corsair GB's disengaged me and tried to take out the Armed forces member while the fighter stayed on my six.
I lead the fighter far away from the support of his two Gun boats and then i quickly turned upon him. By our fourth pass my Sunslayer torpedo hit its mark and his ship was blown to pieces, good riddence corsair scum. It was a easy fight, to bad he didnt have the sense to stay with his corsair brothers. I returned to the area to see if the Gunboats were sto;; engaging the Armed forces, but they were no where in sight, he must have made a run for it. I docked on the nearby Molly base and repaired my ship, not much was needed for the cosair pilot dropped many botts and batts upon his death, poor fool didnt have a chance to even use them.
I waited for my captain to return at the 49 jumphole and tauted the Corsairs to come and find me there, hopeing they wouldnt look for my allies on their long range scanners. He came through and we engaged one of the corsair gunboats, the other, no where to be found. My guns hardly did any damage to the ship but when his shields fell i targets his guns with my sunslayer, hopeing to take some out.
It was a decent fight but well fell him without much trouble. The 2nd appeared shortly after and he was a bit harder, but thanks to the great skill showed by Captain Velvet, he died like all corsair scum do who come in our path. Too bad they too dont know how to stick together.
It was excellent flying and combat maneuvers by my captain, i was blessed to have him with me that day, i might have become a Corsair slave or just been left to die in open space if his great combat skills and bravery had not saved me.
After a victorious battle we returned to Casablanca for beers and to repairs on our ships. Long live the HESSIANS! May swift death come to those who think otherwise.
