Patrol rotation completed. After first report returned to duty and found our friends the BSG and SA units had formed up at Baltimore. The LNS-RedBear joined the ad hoc fleet and proceeded to monitor the regrouped motley bunch of Helghast, AW, and Bs. We jockeyed for position for what seemed like days, but neither side engaged. It seems odds were to even for an attack by our opponents, however, due to pressing duties and politics our numbers slowly fell to just 3, Redbear, Washington (GB) and LSF-Chancellor (Frigate). It seemed at this point our opponents found the spirit to attack.
Overall, we faced a force numbering at least 7-8 and included 2 Cruisers, Gb, and possibly 5 fighters. Despite the odds we managed to make a good accounting of ourselves by damaging or running off the 2 Cruisers for a time. Their fighters buzzed arounds us like flies until there Cruisers returned. RedBear and Chancellor suffered damage.
Regardless, today was an excellent day for our forces, hazzah:)
My compliments to all who took part.
Admiral RedBear of Combined Fleet
(ooc: the commander of the LNS-washington is up for Lt. Cmdr. I believe it is Razr, congrats:)
