The Numenorean Eagles (our fighter group) successfully defended the Blonde Lager from the pirate's air group. The Eagles inflicted heavy damage on the pirates, but not without cost. CPO Lisa Mays, piloting Stingray 2, was shot down when the pirate Corsair managed to detonate her Stingray's fuel tank. LtJG Andromeda Clark, piloting Transit 1, in conjunction with Blonde Lager, extracted vengance by downing the Corsair after it lost control due to heat incurred while firing on the Blonde Lager. In total, the Eagles and the Blonde Lager downed the Corsair and four Guardians while inflicting heavy damage on the remaining pair of Guardians and the Centurions. During the fighting, the Transit's landing gear was heavily damaged. The Eagles feared LtJG Clark would be unable to land safely after the fighting. These fears proved unjustified as she calmly and professionally landed the ASF in an outstanding display of precision piloting.
Current ASF and DropShip status:
Blonde Lager - Minor armor damage (42 total), no critical damage. The DropShip crew are working on repairs now. (Survive 1 + Victory 1 + Kills 3 = 5XP)
Stingray 1 (Miriya Sterling) - Minor aft armor damage (16 points) (Survive 1 + Victory 1 + Kills 1 = 3XP)
Stingray 2 (Lisa Mays) - Destroyed (total loss), Lisa Mays ejected and recovered (Survive 0 + Victory 1 + Kills 1 = 2XP)
Transit 1 (Andromeda Clark) - RW medium laser destroyed, 1 avionics critical hit, landing gear destroyed, Moderate armor damage (N 5, LW15, RW 16, for 36 total)
Implications:
We lost a fighter, so future BSP usage will need to adjust for this.
There is no salvage, so all of the damage and the lost fighter are just costs eaten by the unit.
Our DropShip is safe.
The pirate air group was soundly whacked. Everything that lived has major damage. The Centurions both took engine hits and lost multiple weapons, as well as other damage, so they are likely to be in the hangar for weeks being fixed. If we can capture their base before they get fixed up...
