Today, the Xenos launched one of their largest offensives in a long time. Incredibly, they had even brought a gunboat, though how the Xenos managed the get a hold of one is beyond me.
The fight begun with a report of Xenos near Norfolk. Nearing the fight, it was clear there were 4 hostile Xenos, one of them a gunboat.
Copperhead was the first Xeno to fall, but by then 2 navy ships were destroyed, though luckily the escape pods were retrieved. Shortly before the destruction of Copperhead's ship, another Xenos arrived on the scene, making a total of 5 Xenos, in addition to a rogue that was watching nearby.
The stalemate quickly crumbled after the destruction of the Xeno gunboat, Prospector. Sadly, the AI controlled Hoshinokatana Huntress Cruiser was also destroyed, though a backup of the AI was stored at Norfolk, where construction began on a replacement.
In addition, several other Zoners also fought agaisnt the Xeno, as well as a Junker. Though the help was unexpected, it was never less much appreciated.
Though it was a costly victory, it was a victory for Liberty.
