Greetings Comrades,
Glorious Victory over the Corsair Empire in Omega-3!
After reports of a Corsair Battle group in Omega-3 were received, a Quick Reaction Force of the Coalition was launched to investigate and eliminate. Our group consisted of One Storm Gunship, 4 Bombers and 2 Fighters. Upon arrival in O-3 , we were surprised at our findings. 4 Legate Cruisers, 2 Imperator Gunboats, Multiple Snubfighters and a Repair Ship. It was sure to be a long and hard battle, which we prevailed.
Through combined efforts and focused fire, the first Legate fell relatively quickly, although we lost the Gunship just a quick, the pilot's pod was tractored and returned to Omega 52 Safely. Our focus shifted to one of the Imperator gunboats as it was focusing one of our snubcraft, but it didn't have a chance to do so for long as it fell to our Antimatter Cannons. The second legate was a bit of a tougher fight as the Corsair Repair Ship was making its way along the lines, though , through help of the friendly Bretonian Snub Vessel on scene, it quickly stopped rushing along the field. With the Repair Ship out of action , the second Legate quickly succumbed to our Nova Rocket's, and almost melted below the power. As the Corsair Snubcraft fled the Scene our attention turned to the most prominent target there, the Brotherhood's Flagship , Memoria. Safe to say, the Memoria's shields were drained quickly and efficiently, before it's hull began to crack ,the ship made a run for the sun, what an Inglorious way to go in the face of an enemy. As the Memoria melted in the sun our focus turned to the last Legate on scene. As it tried to run it was clear that it would fail, Nova after Nova, Antimatter Cannon after Antimatter Cannon the Legate fell, thus eliminating all capital ships on scene.
As first units began to return to base, some returned to Planet Sprague to check for any surviving Corsairs, and surely one was found. A Lonely Imperator which was arriving at the Planet. It was to be admitted that the Captain of the Vessel was a good pilot, but not better than the Fighter Corps. In a long fight , in which many shots were dodged, but also many landed, the Fighter Corps came out on top. All in all a very successful operation against the Corsairs, besides the fact of minor leadership differences and target calls, the Fighter Corps gloriously defeated a Corsair Task Force with just a small Quick Reaction Force, proving to the Corsairs and the Bretonians who were there that the Coalition is a force to be reckoned with at any point , at any time.
Congratulations on a Glorious Mission Comrades, Vodka is on me Tonight.
