Greetings pilots,
Unlike last night, pilots were all over Omicron Minor today, including the Bounty Hunters Guild Core. I launched from Planet Toledo to find several BHGC ships pounding away at several Secondary pilots. Naturally, I jumped in to intercept them. Unfortunately, I could not stop the destruction of one of the Secondary ships known as ".ANONYMOUS." However, we did manage to take out the Aquila. I also managed to shoot the Decus hard enough to compel him to flee. With two fighters gone and only two more ships, one of which was a Hunter Gunship, remaining, the others fled and we pursued them. However, it was a trap. We were met with two Hunter Battleships, which quickly decimated our two capital ships, the OCV-75|Galactica and the Kefaya. The remaining ships managed to return to Minor. At this point, I contacted the Primary Fleet. However, by the time the Primary Fleet arrived, the Hunters had retreated.
Once the Primary Fleet was assembled, we decided to launch a retaliatory strike against the Hunters, but they docked when we arrived. Instead, we decided to head for Bretonia because of reports of a Nomad Battleship attacking miners in Dublin. On the way, we met two Rheinland scouts, one of which was most likely infected, although the other Rheinlander didn't realize this. We also noticed that the infected pilot was carrying 16 Order pilots. We told him to hand them over, but he refused, saying that we were not in the Omicrons and had no authority here. Of course, we countered that by saying that he was not in Rheinland and had no authority here. In the end, we were forced to fight. However, because we were all in bombers trying to chase a Nomad Battleship, we were ineffective against the two Wraith fighters. I went down quickly, but Rear Admiral Duke managed to take out one of the pilots in a last ditch mine spam. Afterwards, the admiral heard reports of a Hunter Battleship and went off to find it with his own capital ship. As I helped him search, I heard reports from Lieutenant Rogers that he had escaped from the infected Rheinlander, but not before severely crippling his ship. Afterwards, I received a message from Toledo and was forced to return home while Rear Admiral Duke continued the search for the Hunter Battleship.
