To: Imperial Band Command, CC: All Marshal Branches From: Carlos Ortega Source: Ruiz Base, Omicron Beta. Subject: Removal of Corsair base.
Hola, senores.
Over the past few days we have deployed into Planet Knossos to remove the Corsairs local station, the fighting have varied with the initial stages favouring us before the Corsairs could retaliate in force, in their frequent sorties they deployed a number of experience ship captains and some of their heaviest weaponry. We have been pushed back a number of times from the station with losses incurring on both sides, one such time the Corsairs brought large ships into Omicron Beta in an attempt to assault us to our fallback point. They paid dearly for this mistake.
Today at least,
The Corsairs made a number of sorties in a last ditch effort to prevent its destruction, but they all proved unsuccessful. The first sortie saw two Murmillos, supported by a bomber, engage our forces in the siege; they showed their skill in avoiding effective fire from our Dreadnoughts and managed to deal significant damage to MNS-Extremadura in the engagement. They were all removed.
In their last sortie they brought two Legates and a gunboat to fight. We initially engaged them with two Ranseurs and myself; although both of the Legates were crippled, our MNS-Galerna suffering a similar fate. However with damaged and depleted numbers we still persisted and achieved our objective. The base was destroyed.
One last thing, a Outcast Dreadnought by the name of X believe that because the base named, 'Corsair Guard' was not shooting at him, It had its guns blown off at the time, they did not consider it a Corsair base. The vessel loitered around the base for some time, before flying off as to avoid any engagement should the Corsairs appear. When they did, the ship noted the Corsair presence but did not assist. I have included the relevant logs.
