We engaged the hostiles near Juneau Shipyard. Almost immediately, the enemies focused their weapons on the LNS-Retribution. The Retribution was suffering heavy shield damage, however, our combined firepower was too much for their Osiris. I shielded my eyes from the brilliant explosion the Osiris made and acquired a new target. Hearing mayday's from the LNS-Retribution, I turned my bomber around only to see it explode into a massive fireball. All of the crew were able to beam over to the other two Dreadnaughts in the system before the LNS-Retribution was destroyed.
After the Carrier was destroyed, the battle raged on for quite a while. One by one the enemy ships were destroyed, and the skill and dedication of our pilots meant they would survive. No other ship on our side was destroyed in the battle, apart from the Carrier. However, the Order and Corsairs weren't so lucky, with all of their ships being destroyed. Here are some gun-cam shots from my bomber during the battle and some images of the might of the Liberty fleet:
With the re-construction of the LNS-Retribution already under way, I would class today's battle as a clear victory for Liberty against the Order scourge.

Although today we were victorious, I worry that next time we may not be so fortuitous to have on hand so many Liberty Navy Independents around to help. There were only three official, [LN] tagged, officers on duty at the time, myself included. Luckily they were both Admirals and had immediate access to Battleships to provide massive amounts of firepower. May I ask why Liberty Navy recruitment has stopped? If you need someone to check over the new recruits' applications, I would be more than happy to sift through the paperwork and pick out the good recruits.
