After Action Report March 6th
I launched from the battleship Isis and rendezvoused with Captain Marshal and the 63rd|CV-Trident. We proceeded with our scheduled combat patrol and headed out to Omicron Delta. Transit to Omicron Delta Jump Hole and subsequent jump was uneventful. Upon arrival in Delta we proceeded to our first waypoint.
Combat patrol was uneventful. We faced minor contacts from both the Bounty Hunters Guild and the Nomads. When we were nearing the final waypoint of our patrol (Omicron Iota Jump Hole) we encountered a freelancer flying under the ship name 'Lisbon'.
I cruise disrupted Lisbon and Captain Marshal engaged the freelancer in small talk. He warned Lisbon away from the Iota system and Lisbon complied with our request to vacate the area around the hole. Lisbon was carrying no contraband and other than a Navy IFF (although a freelancer ID was present aboard the fighter) showed no hostile intent against the 63rd|CV-Trident or myself.
Shortly after we received word of a Liberty Navy Battleship in Omicron Minor. We returned immediately to Omicron Minor and were quick to find the LNS-Santo.Domingo. The Captain of the Domingo was generally disrespectful towards Captain Marshal's hails referring to him as a 'Gringo' and such.
Shortly after I arrived on the scene the LNS-Santo.Domingo open fired on the Trident. The Domingo was immediately engaged by the Trident and shortly after the beginning of the altercation several Order vessels arrived to help: Side:Effect, ThunderBay, Mars, Order-Gex, and Charon were all present in the battle space.
Shortly after the engagement began the Domingo made a run for the Alaska Jump Hole where he rendezvoused with the LNS-Zagam. Both ships were engaged by all BLUFOR vessels in the battle space. Also present during the battle was an AI ship Unit-256. Unit-256 fired on Order vessels without apparent provocation and so it is my opinion that this ship be furthermore classified as a hostile vessel to the Order.
Initially I was ordered to engage this vessel and did so. However my orders were changed when the Zagam and the Domingo began cruising away. I followed the two ships and provided intel on their nanobot and shield battery counts to BLUFOR vessels in the battle space while cruise disrupting them.
BLUFOR vessels eventually caught up to the two ships who had set course for planet Toledo and were engaged. During said engagement it would appear that the Trident was the primary target and as such recieved most of the enemy fire. After a few minutes the Zagam was destroyed by the Trident (see attachment from Trident gun-cam). After the destruction of the Zagam, AI vessel Unit-256 disengaged from the battle and fled the fight. The Domingo then attempted to cruise away at this time and was subsequently disrupted by me. The Domingo was engaged by BLUFOR vessels and quickly ran dry on both nanobots and shield batteries.
Hull breaches were imminent aboard the Domingo when it attempted to cruise away again. Due to pilot misjudgement, and targeting computer malfunctions on my part, my initial attempt to disrupt the Domingo failed. However I was quick to engage my own cruise engines and intercepted the Domnigo before it could escape to Alaska. Cruise disruption was successful and allowed time for BLUFOR vessels to catch up and deliver the finishing blows to the crippled ship. The final blow was ultimately dealt when the ship flew into a spacial anomaly and was destroyed (no gun-cam image available).
Battle space was declared clear by the ranking officer and all ships returned to Toledo where I landed. The Trident moved to Omicron 100 for a refit due to her suffering several bad hits.
This concludes the after action report for the events during 63rd Order Expeditionary Force combat patrol Delta 93.
