[color=#FFFFFF]Yesterday's patrol was quite eventful, it started with the usual California sweep with the regular stuff, however yesterday it was only a single Rogue Gunboat near the Cortez Jumpgate. It was not a big threat for us and was dealt with in no time.
We continued to patrol the rest of the Liberty core worlds after this little situation. In New York we found another Rogue Gunboat, which was on its way into the Badlands. We intercepted it and it received the same treatment like the other Rogue in California.
Admiral Hale decided to patrol the systems of Bering and Hudson, it was actually a surprise that these systems were empty and we returned to New York. There we spotted a random Xeno who was getting shot at by the Secondary Fleet and also a Lane Hacker, flying a Bayonet Heavy Fighter. I was ordered to deal with him.
After we checked the Colorado system we received reports about a group of Rheinland Military ships in the Texas system and we changed our course to said system to have a look if these reports were true. It were four fighters, of which three were from the Rheinland Military Primary Fleet, the last fighter was from the BDM. It was a surprise that the Primary Fleet had brought only their High Command members, and that with a really small group of fighters. They attacked us and after some time a group of pirates did so as well.
The BDM ship was destroyed by the LSF, while one of the Military Wraiths exploded to its own mines. After some time the remaining Military ships began their retreat, we wanted to chase them, but ion storms made it impossible, hopefully they won't be lucky the next time. The battle was pretty much over after this and so was the patrol for me.
Today I did a patrol of the California system and ran into a group of Mandalorians and Secondaries who were dealing with some Hellfire Legion Gunboats and one Ministry Gunboat. I decided to help them against the threat and we managed to take out one of the Legion Gunboats in California before they started to run away.
The Ministry Gunboat ran to Magellan, however he was not able to survive this encounter. We shot it down somewhere next to the lanes in Magellan.
In the meantime the Legion had brought some support, this time in fighters. They did not have a real chance and soon they were running to their rat hole as soon as they were about to explode. A chase would have been too dangerous and we decided to return to California.
