[Sender]: Daniel Redding, Cadet [Receiver]: Liberty Navy Command [Subject]: Major battle at Colorado Jump Gate, New York System [Encryption]: Medium
Cadet Redding reporting, I hopped in after several 1st, 2nd and 5th fleet forces were being engaged by several outcast, rogue and coalition secondary capital ships and bombers pilots. Initially, I assisted Lt. Mike Anderson away from the main fight near the Colorado Jumpgate as I believe he was diverting enemy bombers away from friendly forces. Unfortunately, an enemy Storta destroyer "Doominator" and an Outcast battleship "Smith" showed up, and we were ordered to fly back to get assistance from Manhattan's defences.
The enemy capital had joined the main battle over at the Colorado Gate, and despite being ruthlessly chased by an enemy bomber pilot "Consequence", I believe his aim was not very good, so I was able to thrust myself from Manhattan back to the Colorado gate to assist allied forces as I was ordered. Once there, we were able to prevent enemy capital ships from retreating as I still had several unused cruise disruptors available and I believe we were able to destroy at least one hostile battleship. Reference 1.
After that, there was a moment of peace and both sides regrouped. We met up again in the debris field to finish off the remnants of their forces. Before that, we were attempting to destroy the enemy Storta Destroyer "Doominator" but unfortunately it had cloaked before we were able to destroy it. During the moment of peace, I should have retreated to the nearest base and restocked, however, I made the mistake of being too overconfident in my capabilities. Once the fight in the debris field started, we were able to destroy another outcast battleship Reference 2. However, it appears that the remaining enemy snubcraft were able to identify myself as the least experience flyer in our fleet, and I was targetted. Due to being cruise disrupted and not having up-to-standard counter measures, I was unable to cruise away and although I hugged the capital ships as I was ordered,my ships was destroyed in combat.
I don't know how the battle went as I was knocked out after that at the medical bay of the [LN]-LNS-Nevada, but I went ahead and filed this report as soon as I got up and doctor said it was okay for me to get back to duty. I'll learn from the mistakes I made here so that they are not repeated again.
