Description:
The Lane Hackers have successfully managed to recover what the RHA failed to in their last attempt: parts of the LSC forward gun. These are now safely stashed away on Mactan awaiting transport back to Rheinland. Unfortunately it seems security wasn't as perfect as the RHA and LH would like it to be. Some pirate who was in the wrong place at the wrong time sold the info about the recent attack on the Liberty Navy to the Liberty authorities in exchange for a lighter conviction. The Liberty Navy are fully aware when to look out for the convoy, as well as its likely route. It falls to the Lane Hacker escorts and the RHA Hessian Tears to safeguard the transport during its journey.
The Red Hessian/Lane Hacker side will have a armoured pirate train with the parts in its hold sent on its way from Mactan to Hudson where it will be secured by regular Red Hessian forces and disappear into the asteroid fields. The Liberty Navy will try to destroy it before then using their interdiction Grizzlies. The fighters are free to attack the Grizzlies but the transport can only be attacked by the Grizzlies. The transport will remain out of cruise if disrupted by the Grizzlies until they are destroyed. The RH/LH escorts will remain behind at the site of the battle to ensure no Liberty Navy ships follow should the freighters go down first. The exact location of the interdiction is down to the Liberty Navy.
Right now the exact numbers of fighters on both sides as well as the date is undecided. We are looking for people signing up and possibly offering a date on which this event could take place. This event is organised by the [LN], LH~ and [RHA] player factions, but Hacker and Navy independents are invited should numbers be tough, but they should register here before hand. Indie Hessians are unfortunately out of the question due to the location of the event and the ZoI issues that arise, sorry. But if they want to they can wait for us in Hudson or something in case we drag company down there with us (though I understand that's not as exciting).
