We were called in today to attempt to intercept an Order Crewed Zoner Juggernaught (THC-BigFatty) leading a fleet containing at least one Corsair GB and several smaller craft invading NY. We went in with two BC (Kearsarge, BHG-Kidy) and a single GB (LNS Dawn) to try and delay the fleet as long as possible.
The Kearsarge was disabled first. I lost a portion of my crew to a hull breach but most survived, ships roster is currently at 198. The Order fleet then disabled the GB and the other BC in quick succession. The BH did manage to kill several of the other vessels before being disabled. The LNS Prodigy came in a few min later from his exile and drove out the heavily damaged Battleship.
I am sorry to report that the Merc Anthony Ryan was with the enemy battle group piloting one of the bombers. He has been given leniency in the past. I now propose that he is to be considered an enemy for aiding this fleet and destroyed when he enters our space. Before the battle I attempted to have him leave the group to no avail. We have had cordial contact in the past.
The Kearsarge is now moored at Norfolk undergoing repairs. The reactor is online but about half of the targeting system is functioning. We are not sure of the exact time she will be in dry-dock but I will keep you posted.
For now I am in Command of the Catlett and will be reachable there.
For Liberty!

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.
