Aug 13, 3027 – We spend two days fixing, repairing, rearming and scouring for battlefield salvage, we found 625k.

We blast to the JumpPoint to hit the Pirates home base,

Aug 21, we leave Rollis!

Aug 28 – We arrive in a system two jumps away the homes of a company of Pirates according to CC intel. We arrive here at the Zenith JumpPoint and then begin scanning. Here there is an Invader JumpShip at the Nadir JumpPoint with nothing attached. We head to the planet

Sept 2 - At the planet are a Union and Leopard CV with 8 fighters and that’s against our 8 fighters, Leopard CV and Avenger and 2 Aquairii too. We…savage their Union, it flees to their JumpShip, we destroy their Leopard CV and… I tossed a 7 not salvageable. We destroy all of their fighters save two that fled to the Union.

Battle Loss - We lost three fighters, one permanently at a value of 3.2 mil and then the other two for a cost of 1.2 mil. We spend 2.2 mil to recover 3 of theirs to be up two. Battle Damage of 4.5 mill.

We found 2.6 mill in battle damage salvage.

We land at their HQ, and here is a cargo Mule. We use our fighters to confirm their numbers, done. A company! But…they are a bit unusual…

Here they are:
