We moved out from Norfolk on a trial to make sure our systems were up after our refit. We received an SOS at Ft Bush about a pack of pirates making a siege at the Bases. We moved in and dispatched the ships in question. Next, we moved on and came across a Rogue in a bargy. He attacked us and after several warnings his ship was destroyed. We moved to Manhattan and had an LR tagged bomber on long range, 12K. We warned him to leave.
We moved on to WestPoint a few min later and came into close contact with the same bomber killing Navy around the base. This time we fired, killing his friend who came to support him and driving off the bomber. A different outcast showed up a little later and attacked our fine ship. He too was destroyed.
With NY clear we moved back to Norfolk and docked.
Current Crew Count: 198
Ship passed trial.

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.
