Today, the Liberty assault Battlecruiser Grand Canyon was shot down in omicron minor. The ship was heading back to Liberty space for major repairs and refueling after a long period in space and radiations. The vessel was also carrying precious materials for scientific purposes.
More than an hours ago, it was trapped within the system, all exits guarded by Heavy Order ships. After a long period of hide and seek, an enemy fighter found the Battlecruiser and called for backup. 5 minutes after the arrival of the backup, the massive Libertonian ship was destroyed and its cargo taken away by the enemy. Escape pods on the ship were fully functional and the totality of the crew was evacuated before the explosion. Pods have not been detected by opponents' radars and have reached Alaska to get proper support.
Tomorrow, a small salvaging crew will be sent to retrieve some sensible equipment that could have remained in space after the attack.
