Bounty hunter Tripitz was spotted in Gamma today in orbit around Crete. I deployed with bomber and began an assault on his destroyer. Smiggle joined in the assault. We were doing some damage, but not enough to greatly impact the destroyer. As we dodged missiles and return fired member of RAB appeared on our short range scanners.
"Would you like some help?" This from the pilots of the RAB ships.
"Yes," came the reply from another friend of the Corsairs who was disabled and no longer in the fight.
Wtih the assistance of the RAB the enemy was eradicated from Corsair space.
I would like to offer my personal thanks to the RAB in this circumstance.
After the battle Smiggle began ordering RAB to leave Gamma. The RAB declared they were welcome by the Elders, but after further argument Smiggle opened fire and destroyed one of the RAB vessels.
When the argument began I said I was checking our current list of allies and determined that RAB would not open fire if they were allies of the Corsairs. Afterall, they had just assisted us with the bounty hunter. However, before I could access the central computer on Crete and retrieve the information Smiggle had opened fire. Apparently with all the chatter Smiggle had not heard my broadcast.
I apologize for not having completely learned the current list of allies and their affiliations. I have grounded myself until I have memorized this information. Also, I submit myself for reprimand since I did not act quickly enough to defuse the situation.

Elder Alexander, I thank you for your apology, but may I remind you that this is not the first time we've had this problem. We have enough trouble defending -your- space without having to look over our shoulders all the time. I believe that the last time this happened, Zehn gave you a hint as to why you shouldn't mess with us. All SCRA will now be on watch for Corsair trickery, and as for us becoming friendly, I believe I've held on to that card long enough. Consider the request refused until I believe the Corsairs are trustworthy once again.
Believe me, Elders. I am one step away from pulling the SCRA out of Gamma for a while, along with the only Corsair worth his salt. I'd like to see how you handle yourselves on your own for a while. You will not give me a reason to take this step if you know what's good for your precious Crete.

Admiral, I emphasis how deeply regretful we are over these recent events. I can only reiterate that the offending Brother(s) will be chastised and re-educated severely.
It troubles me that you threaten to break our friendship, for we have ever been stalwart allies against many foes who come against us. As for your helping to defend out homeland, we both know it is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
We must not let these incidents ruin our alliance. For divided we cannot hope to withstand the storms our many enemies throw against us.
Admiral let me assure you, any actions of a Brother against your men in future will result in him being kicked from TBH and treated as a renegade. Then you may deal with them as you see fit.
Brothers I hope you heed this warning. I am not in the habit of kissing the boots of SCRA -- but we the Elders will not tolerate dishonorable behaviour and slackness against our allies. Save it for the enemy.......

Brother,
keeping good relations between SCRA and TBH, as well as with the rest of the brothers Corsairs has been our primary diplomatic task in recent days. And finally we managed to persuade them to help us defend Gamma even though their goals are different. Our mutual friendly status is essential, as almost all their pilots are Aces and we need their guidance and help when training our new brothers in the defence of our homeland.
I know you have already been taught your lesson, and you know how to recognize our allies and friends, but there has to be an exemplar punishment, I am sorry. Meet me in the Boozer's Lounge tomorrow morning.
Pedro Maniaco out.

Brother!
This is great news! We were almost planning your funeral! I feel really sorry for all you had to go through in the past, and if you need any assistance just give me a call.
It's also sad that you appeared in such difficult times, not only we suffer lack of coordination in the battles above Crete, we have lots of enemy attacks in Gamma and we also have troubles with some of our younger brothers. On the other hand, we need wise and skilled Elders more then ever so your return is most welcome.
I am sending you the access codes to our banks Banco and Arca as well as our flagship Altaneria. You might also need to use our shared ships Cazadora and Canonera in certain occasions.

During a training session several hours ago with Ivan of the SCRA a Blood Dragon approached our position. We immediately ended our session and pursued the intruder. I managed to intercept his craft in the asteroid field near Tripoli and we began to battle. Within a short period I knocked down his shield. As expected the enemy pilot altered his tactics. He began making a tight circular run, which I was unable to match in the Titan. Fortunately he was not able to get a good lock on my fighter. I managed a few manuevers which allowed some return fire, but these also left me open for my opponent. I believe the match could have gone on as a stale-mate and so I yielded to Ivan's offer to take over the dual. Ivan had the upper hand with the Talon, but both were recalled by their commanding officers before the battle was completed.
Observation: There are newer members of the Brotherhood, including myself, that have not flown against various other ships, which are common among enemy factions. Some of these fighters have greater maneuverablility and we need to learn how to overcome this advantage.
Suggestion: The aquisition of certain enemy fighters which have proven difficult targets for Titan pilots for the purpose of training our pilots how to combat a more manueverable ship. I suggest these fighters be minimally equipped to reduce the impact on our resources and that they be used only for training.
Viven de largo los Corsairs!
Viven de largo la Fraternidad!
Interesting times heh? anyway i decided to take the Velasco out today, she was getting kinda rusty just sitting there, Hugo, Yanez and Moore where also in orbit of crete aswell as other corsairs and OPG members making sure no hostiles got close to our lovely home.
Firstly a guy with the call sign "Troll" decided it would be a good idea to come to gamma and attack us, crazy i no, the guy was flying an outcast destroyer but didn't manage to destroy much at all, once we had found our target near the O41 JH we opened fire on him, it didnt take long for the Velasco and our other corsairs fire to brake open the hull.
A little later a RoS tagged outcast was noticed on scanners, then was gone, a few minutes later we got a distress call from Yanaz saying he was under attack from the outcast destroyer, we where given coords to his location and set course, it took some time to zero in on the hostile in which time Yanez gunboat was destrtoyed, not long after i got within 10k and locked onto him, me and Hugo finished him of a short time later.
Just as this hostile was destroyed we got word that a Bushido by the name of interceptor was in gamma, me, hugo globle and gentle set out to find him, gentle found him on the way to the O41 JH and the Velasco fell in behind him and gave the order for someone to block the JH, this worked and he had to turn away he started to head back to Crete at which point globle and a few others also got on his tail, after a few turns he was cruise disrupted and destroyed within seconds as all of us opened fire on the gunboat.
No image was taken of this one, all in all a good day.
