A team of two Hellfire legion gunboats asked me to assist them with a short raid against the New York system.
As soon as we came out of the Texas Jump Hole in the Badlands a Liberty Police gunboat detected us and begun broadcasting our location. His broadcast went to an abrupt end when his ships was blown to pieces just in a very short time.
We proceeded to Manhattan to find it defended by a single Liberty Gunboat. Soon the vessel fell to our combined fire:
After that a Bounty Hunter bomber came out of the Trade Lane from Fort Bush and got eliminated as well:
After one of the traders donated 75k credits to our cause we retreated back to Texas system. At the JG a transport began firing on us and refused to donate so his ship was destroyed to serve as a warning to other traders.
My ship began to experience engine problem so I landed on Beaumont.
Overall we have shown that Liberty defenses are not impenetrable. Moment of surprise is however crucial.
