First Flag Captured at Cygnus Fleet Proving Exercise

GP: The first flag was won by Fleet Aron today, as Fleet Dominic surrendered its flag due to extensive sustained damage. Ftr-SS1 attacked Ftr-Delta. Heavy casulties were exchanged, then Ftr-CJ1 finished off Ftr-Delta. Ftr-Gamma and SS2 dogfight as the other fighters from Fleet Brendan attack Bogata. SS2 was wiped out and Ftr-Gamma lost 2/3rds of its fighters. PDS fire from Bogata combined with ADFC/PDS fire from Archamedies devistated Ftr-CJ4 and Ftr-SS3. Ftr-CJ3, SS3, and SS4 pour fire into Bogata in return. Mojo Filter (Fleet Random Effect) fired on Augusta (A), its beams deflected harmlessly. Reality Graft, Untidy Intentions and Schrodinger's Hammer, however layed a devistaing barrage into the Augusta (B) drone, obliterating it. Archamedies fires for minimal damage against Rose. Harley hits Zeus with Pulse Torpedos and pings Vulcan for good measure. Rose hits Zeus with 4 Pulse Torpedos and Forge with 3 Beam batteries, finishing it off. Fleet Dominic surrenders its flag to Fleet Brendan, and powers down.

LORD AMORAL EXECUTES OWN PILOTS!

Posted by our correspondant Lara Constantin, from the command bridge of LAPAF Harley.


"Those useless, good-for-nothing excuses that call themselves combat pilots! Only 10 of them managed to hit their target!
Master at Arms! Take a shuttle and two men with you. Any of those pilots that survive are to be decimated on the spot & the rest thrown into the simulator until they get it right."
I could not believe my ears. Lord Amoral was about to execute 10% of his own combat pilots!
Sidling over to one of his bridge crew, a 2nd Lieutenant whose name patch read 'Hoskings'.
"So, Hoskings, does your Lord make a habit of this?"
"Not usually, but he's been exceedingly unstable of late. Ever since he got hold of those wavegun cruisers...", the lieutenant looked around nervously to see who was watching, before continuing. "I think it could be those xenomorph's he encountered. Apparently, when he came back, he was twice as strong, but has been unstable. He somehow got ownership of a shipyard & has been turning out those cruisers at a rate of 17 per ...."
*BANG*
The sudden sound of a large caliber chemical pistol reverberated throughout the bridge.
"I can't abide disloyalty in my subordinates. Rogers, disposal duty." Lord Amoral appeared calm, his eyes showing nothing, not even a glimmer of life. Amazing how dark his eyes were, like they were almost black...
