Date: May 20, 822 A.S. Officers: Steven Baker (RO), Lieutenant Masket , 5th| Webb, Darius John Systems: New York, California, Colorado Notable Encounters: Rogue Destroyer, Outcast Fighters, Hellfire Attack, BMM Slaver
Today my Patrol started at Fort Bush, and like the day before the patrol was quiet for some time, but an hour into the patrol i encountered an Rogue Destroyer at the California Gate in New York. I asked him to clear the Lane and when he refused i kept my Distance and called for reinforcement. Luckily an 5th Bomber was in the system and engaged the Destroyer...sadly he didnt managed to bring the rogues to justice and after some time an additional 5th took over the shadowing. After that i resumed my patrol.
Shortly thereafter i encountered some outcast fighters near Norfolk Shipyard, where the weapon dealer Cody held his 5th Anniversary. And together with an 5th Fighter i engaged the criminals and a few minutes later Sugarland had 2 new inmates.
After an hour of calmness we (Me and some 5th Pilots) were informed of an Hellfire Gunboat in Colorado and Officer Webb of the 5th decided to launch an surprise attack, which sadly failed.
After a few minutes Combat at became obvious that the Battle was not in our favor so we disengaged from the Fight and headed for New York to regroup. To give the big ships a chance to retreat i drew the enemys fire and used the Liberators superior speed to escape myself when all allied ships were out of range. No Ships were lost in that Engagement
After Regrouping in New York a Hellfire Battleship joined the HF Gunboat as well as 2 fighters (at the end of the Fight an additional VHF joined the surviving HF Ships) and a Bomber.
On our side we were reinforced with additional Capital ships and Snubcraft and after an pitched Battle we managed to get the upperhand and destroyed most of the enemy vessels
When the Battle was clearly in our favor me and Lieutenant Masket, that joined our Group after the regrouping in New york, resumed our Patrol.
Half an hour before my shift ended we caught an BMM Vessel hauling over 4000 Slaves and intercepted him before he had any chance to escape.
Luckily for the captives he complied with our demand to release them and after paying a fine the BMM Vessel was allowed to proceed.
My shift ended 20 Min later and i landed back at Fort Bush.
