Strange things have been happening. I guess it was Dom Kavosh, but something transported me, Banderas, and a few others to Omicron Gamma without warning. Now everyone fires on me but other Corsairs... strange.
Ah, that cider was most excellent. Now, onto business!
Today while docked at Crete a distress call was sent out from an NLH pilot and one of our independant brothers. They had been engaged by two RAF bombers and a fighter with a mandalorian gunship for backup. I gathered with my two brothers, Gonzales and Matei. We headed to Dublin but before we could get there our allies were destroyed. I can only hope they are still alive for we could not find their escape pods. We grouped together, I in my Praetorian and my brothers in titans. We soon encountered them near the station in Dublin (forgot the name). My brothers engaged the bombers and fighters as I widdled away at the gunship with my supernova. As the fight progressed we flew into a nearby minefield. Finally the mandalorian was destroyed by my supernova. Shortly after matei's guns and a nearby mine claimed the RAF fighter. Strangely one of the RAF bombers withdrew. I turned on the last bomber. And within a few passes I let a supernova rip full to the side. I flew by as the satisfying sound of ship exploding passed me by. I suffered minor damage and as for my brothers they had nothing but scratches.
A victory for the Corsairs in Dublin! Hoora!
Viva Los Corsairs

UPDATE:AGHHH...UGH....*cough*...This is ..Antonio..I was engag..ed in sigma-13...mandalorian and outcast gunboat...gun...boat destroyed...mandalorian,,,.edyug7y732...got my ship....drif...ting....ah!...help atlast!
one day later
This is Antonio Banderas reporting from the medical ward on crete. As I sat in my escape pod with a piece of shrapnel protruding out of my chest I cursed the name of Ranov'la. I had destroyed his ship two times before and he finally got me this time, although in an unfair fight. I engaged him near gas miner naha when an [RoS] gunboat appeared. I promptly destroyed the gunboat but couldn't hold on. My ship was on fire by the time Gonzales arrived I was within 2k of a nanobot transfer when I was shot down. Atleast the nurse looks good...maybe I should ask her out to the bar when I am out of this hole. Until next time ranov!
Greetings Brothers
Well, it was my first day with the Brotherhood. Elder Raul D. Yanez gave me sojme startup cash and some helpful weaponry and now have a fully operational Titian. 3 of our Brothers gladly helped me fix my rep and ID and sucessfuly got both.
What a day though, right after I hear about TBH versing RAF in Dublin I met up with Metei[TBH] and Banderas.B[TBH] and we went in out numbered 4:3.
As what brother Banderas said. We were victorious. We had no casulties.
Good engagement indeed
A great way to start off my Career with TBH

Brothers,
I am sorry to bring you sad news but today in Sigma-13. Myself, a few other Corsairs (don't remember the names sorry) and Brother Manuelito Rodriguez were accepting donations from the generous traders that passed.
When our scanners showed 4 KNF's entering system. They were 3 Fighter and a Bomber (i think), both sides engaged after we declined the offer to leave the Sigma system. Soon our 3 Gunboats were down but not after damaging the enemy, and I was left to fight alone. Try as I might I couldn't defeat them, but then a Corsair Cruiser came to my aid. After EnShadow engaged them he told me to flee the battle, I denied at first but then I fled. He was destroyed soon after.
The saddest of news is that there were no casualties on their side. The pilots of Gunboats and the Cruiser (EnShadow) were tracktored in while i was leaving so they would be healed on Crete. On my way back at Omicron Theta jump hole in Omicron Gamma I was intercepted by a Corsair Gunboat that helped me get to Crete.
I apologize that I wasn't able to protect the Gunboats while they were fighting and that a Corsair Cruiser was sacrificed so I could flee.
Matei Singing off.

OOC: sorry i didn't get the names of the other corsair GBs that were helping us.
TO: All Corsairs and Allies
TOPIC: New Threat
FROM: Phaedrus Zeta
I have been meaning to inform you of a new threat to the Corsairs, but my message was delayed due to that recent Outcast attack on Omicron Gamma. I wish to congratulate all those who successfully defended Planet Crete from those accursed Cardamine-huffing mask breathers. It was regrettable one was able to escape.
The new threat of which I speak, is a new arm of the Bretonian Police. They go by the identification prefix "BPA", combined with suffix "[PC]", which I assume means Police Constable, or some such. I encountered two pilots, both flying Hussars. I, in my Decurion, was, of course more than a match for both of them, singlehandly destroying one with a Canonball Missile, and the other shortly after with a Nuclear Mine. Corsairs and allies active in the region should note - they are currently poorly equipped - they have no armour upgrades or mines of strength themselves... yet. But be warned, they pilot the Hussar and I encountered them together, so the less manevourable Titan or Praetorian classes may be at great disadvantage against this organisation if caught alone.
All Corsair pirates should also note - Omega-41 and Omega-5 have become popular amongst traders carrying Alien Organisms from Planet Kurile towards Bretonia. Omega-3 and Omega-7 has also seen more activity, with some traders carrying Prisoners and Engine components between Planet Cambridge and New Berlin. The best place to strike on this route is in Omega-7 - I have found some traders have bypassed Omega-3 by going through Omega-5.
Due to extenuating circumstances with the KNF, all TBH forces are to abide by Kusari law when in Kusari systems. Sigma 13 remains open to TBH forces, however, if a large contingent of KNF request you to leave, then either dock and take a chill pill on Yanagi's bar, or fly back home to Crete.
Either way, we DO NOT want conflict with the Kusari nation. They are providing a valuable distraction for the majority of the Bretonian Armed Forces in the Taus. The last time we tried to take a house military on in a pitched war, we lost badly. With this war however, the BAF and their subsidiaries have much less resources to call upon than the RM did. Even the Mollys and Gaians are putting pressure on Bretonia, while the Kusari also attempt to clear out Tau 23, infested with Outcasts.
I dont want wayward trigger-happy hermano's screwing with the KNF.Am I clear on this? Good.
The pieces are falling into place, soon we will set our plans into motion. I dont want to have to divert extra Corsair forces to fight in Kusari, when it is completely unneeded.
As long as you stay out of the way of the KNF, the Hogosha should be able to mend this situation in due time.

Thankyou for your valuable help hermano. Your intelligence report carries a lot of information to incorporate and disturbingly shows a slight strengthening of the Bretonian economy and its importing capacity.
Again, I thank you for this information, as it will no doubt prove useful in the future.

OOC: I bought the domain name and thanks to maga (aka sister Vesques) for providing the hosting the Brotherhood have a new website/forum, we invite everyone to register.
These are transmissions that I have been given by an associate to bring to your attention. The Zoners as a whole, but mostly AW are VERY upset over this incident. No official actions have been determined, as of yet. The AW will have something to say I imagine. Fore warned, is fore armed. If this issue is already dealt with before they get in contact, it would boost relations with Zoner AW and maybe get stronger influence in Omicron Theta in the end for all Corsairs, maybe limit Outcast access or something.
I simply see a possibility of options opening here, I may be out of place, I hope not. This could work well IN FAVOR of Corsairs, a more desirable end than hard feelings, or worse. In my humble opinion. I of course have no power to say, much less to enforce ANYTHING in Your territory, but I am here, and wish to become fruitful, and expand Corsair influence. Zoners already help us with this in Omega 49, giving us free access to Bretonia, not to mention the hospitality of their base and Planet Gran Canaria.
Why allow an unfortunate act to end on any terms but ones that further Corsair goals?
