Well my first submission into the SCC and it's a mixture of a happy and sad one. The saddest news is that we lost a fellow hacker and several Liberty Rogues in a massive attack by the Bounty Hunter Guild 22nd Division. We called in as many reinforcements as we could, but alas, we lost the battle. Our old friend Steve.Jackson was there in his Liberator.
It all started when a fellow Hacker, Pikmin and I were alleviating a trader of some credits when he attempted to engage a cloaking device. Pikmin then destroyed the vessel, and unfortunately, I believe this is what alerted the LPI, LSF and BHG to our location. They just apeared out of nowhere, and a fight ensued on the Trade Lane to New York in the California system. I was in my Sabre but unfortunately had not considered Steve.Jackson's presence, nor the many Bounty Hunter light fighters. This caused, once again, my downfall. One by one, we fell, a fellow Hacker named Pikmin first, then the LR tagged ships. Then I realised we had no chance. We were outnumbered, outgunned and outclassed. We didn't have gunships or Light Fighters. We were ill prepared for that. Luckily, the two Liberty Siege Cruisers were told to keep out of it by the BHG. Once I realsied the chances of us winning were next to none, I retreated to live another day. Steve.Jackson was having none of this and he and a few other Light Fighters pursued me. That was a bad idea for them. Most of them don't realise a barrel rolling, strafing Sabre can still drop Nuclear Mines. In my escape I destroyed 2 of the 3 pursuing ships. But alas, Steve.Jackson got me in the end as I was entering the asteroid field. I want his head on a platter, honestly. I hate him.
Even when the others were retreating, the Bounty Hunters followed them. All the way to Alcatraz.

We lost contact after that.
Anyway, enclosed below are SCs of the battle. I have made a collage to make it easier to see the important parts, however if you want the individual SCs, they are available too.
More images are available on request.
And so, that one event was indeed eventful, and hope more Hackers can be there next time.
