It has just been given to this reporter that there was a major battle fought in a hotly contested area of the galaxy. I have been informed by sources near the epicenter of the conflict that a major victory was won for the Alliance by 2 brave captains and thier valiant crews.

The news is sketchy at best due to the secrecy of the mission, but these 2 as yet unnamed captains engineered the destruction of a coalition DREADNAUGHT! I have it from reliable sources that the cost of this victory was indeed high though. Apparently a Heavy Cruiser of unknown origin was lost in the battle. The race of this lost ship has not been determined, but there is word that several beacons were picked up by convoys near the area of conflict.

.......I'm sorry what was that?.....

I see!

New word has arrive via a trader who recently escaped the area. He tells us that during the engagement with the Coalition Dreadnaught a second assault took place while the battle ensued.....

The Coalition also lost the STARBASE they had used as a stepping stone for aggression against our Hydran allies. The pilot of the trader stated that wave after wave of Federation A-10 fighter squadrons attacked and destroyed all of the vessels supporting the starbase and then anihilated the base itself! The pilot of the trading vessel also stated that he is positive there was at least one large carrier in the area supported by several other smaller vessels. Our informant is happy to have escaped with his life and cargo intact.

We'll update this and other news from the front as it is made available to our network.

Well, I guess that makes us even since the Alliance Supreme Commander had his Hydran Dread blown out from under him and the Hydran starbase that was holding the Alliance line destroyed immediately afterward. In addition 4 other alliance ships were destroyed during the last 24 hours, but no addition points were given up by the alliance.
I even understand that you yourself barely escaped the clutches of a member of KBF by running like a girl after your fighters were wiped out.
Now...what was that about "cleaning clocks..."?

I really meant I would clean your clocks for you....the movement MUST be fouled by now....I daresay they haven't been cleaned since the last time I did it myself during my sojourn with your fleet during the civil war exchange program.

See what I get for trying to be nice?!

(besides I thought we could use a report thread on the boards as well.)
