Name:Derek Smith Rank:Fleet Captain Subject:Texas/California battle
Earlier the day I got an emergency call to help out some Legionnaires in Texas who had come under heavy fire by the Navy.
After the situation was evaluated I took the Last Sunrise and made my way to the battleground.
When I arrived a few of our fighters were under fire by a sizeable force of Navy ships, including two gunboat class vessels. The Sunrise's pulses and mortars made those vessels leave the fighters alone for the moment, but the Legionnaires, some of wich's ships already took damage, had to eject one after the other till only a Xeno pilot and my crew were on the scene.
We stalled the Navy long enough for the Paragon, a Judicator, and her escort consisting of Haymaker to arrive. The enemys light force suddenly left the scene leaving only one gunboat behind.
Soon we got sensor readings indicating a cloaking ship nearby. The LNS Iowa uncloaked right behind the Sunrise some moments later and forced us to take distance. Sadly the Paragon did not make it to a safe distance and got destroyed when more heavy units moved in on her.
I had to order the crew to fall back in order to survive.
After I left the Sunrise in the docks for repairs I took command of the Damocles, meeting up with the Incursius, the Iblis and some fighters to ambush the Navy capitals that were moving to California now.
Again we got readings of cloaking ships but this time we were prepared with the Incursius' cloak disruptor.
When we made the enemy ships visible my ship and the Iblis moved in to attack the Iowa first while the Incursius kept the Ithaca and Whisper of Liberty busy.
After the Iowa fell to our fire the Iblis was pinned down by bomber forces, so it was up to us to relieve the Incursius, sadly she took a heavy beating and soon her systems failed.
After this the Iblis and my ship skirmished the navy assets, defeating them one by one. In the end only one bomber of theirs was able to flee.
