While on patrol rotation in Texas long range scanners revealed a pirate duo (Destroyers/Cruisers?) within Cali. The RedBear and LNS-Tasmania went to investigate. However, upon arrival sensors indicated the Rogues had jumped to Texas, of course this could not be allowed. RedBear engaged and a 2 system running battle ensued. RedBear suffered heavy damage (2), but gave as good as received causing heavy damage to Rogue-63's vessel (2 kills). However, during the course of the battle the LNS-Columbia and Tasmania gave a great accounting of themselves casuing extreme damage for an SA tally of at least 5 kills. Overall, the skirmish was an excellent opportunity for our units to sharpen their skills upon the hulls of these braggarts. My comendations to both the officers and crews of the Columbia and Tasmania.

Final note: Due to Tasmania's excellent help at Alcatraz I am putting Lt. Lairig up for Lt. Commander. He has earned it many times over here and in our other SA incarnations. Congratulations Lt. Cmdr. Lairig:)
