Good Evening, Command,
While today's engagements went by rather quickly, they were nevertheless notable.
The South Dakota, while originally responding to a call of a Unioner warship in Texas, was instead met by a Coalition destroyer. In time, support arrived in the form of the cruiser L.N.S. Theseus, the carrier Semper Fortis and pilot Josh Porter of the secondary, as well as the assistance of the L.N.S. Brigadier. The destroyer, accompanied by own own fallen in the form of Jack Edison, now a confirmed separatist, proceeded to be engaged by Liberty forces, and with both Edison's downing by Porter and the destroyer's being put out of action, the decision was made to proceed farther south to investigate the Separatists in kind in Bering, albeit without the support of the Theseus.
We were met by a bomber swarm consisting of Kelly O'Brien and Cheryl Augustine of Harmony, as well as Captain Blackwings and the SSRT|-Deltahawk. While we'd informed them of our intent to merely request their surrender, the stubbornness of the separatists rebuked with full forces, their swarms engaging the task force in full. While self-defense turret do go a way against strikecraft, Ms. O'Brien managed to slip from the engagement, calling the Harmony itself to enter the fight. The ship sustained marginal damage, numerous hits by the South Dakota's torpedo salvos and main battery guns, as well as the long range fire from the Semper Fortis and the Brigadier, but was eventually pushed back, retreating beyond the trade lane to the south. The decision was made then to turn back towards safer space, leaving the separatists to lick their wounds. Deltahawk was a confirmed downing, but the rest were left to ponder their defeat.
After that, the task forces was disassembled and returned to normal duties. Another day won, though with marginal results.
That is all.
