Current Events: A New Threat
 The journey continues... The fleet that attacked Tusorix refused to answer hails and only responded to the presence of the First Recon Division when attacked. There were thousands of them and they swarmed anything that threatened them. Fighters faired the best against them because of their maneuverability but larger ships suffered severe damage as the small craft crashed into them until they were disabled and no longer a threat. No ships were lost to these attacks but several Strike Cruisers and Light Cruisers will be spending a lot of time repairing before their tactics were figured out and we left the fight to the Fighter squadrons. During the fight it was easy to shoot them down, it only took a hit or two and they would explode. Holding down the trigger netted you multiple kills in a single pass until you drained your blasters down to the point they wouldn’t harm the paint. After several hours of this fight, with no apparent reduction in the number of enemy forces, they withdrew. Gathering at larger ships on the edge of the system and jumping to hyperspace. After analyzing the after battle reports it appears that their goal was primarily cargo vessels carrying food. They did get away with the contents of several dozen of these and even seemed to attack warehouses on the surface for the same reason. Grand Admiral Rapier brought this up with the Planetary leadership. They thanked us profusely for our efforts in keeping his people safe. He then went on to explain that they were called the Ishtari and as best they can figure out they are hive culture and they show up roughly every 4 months and do the same thing. Strike fast, only attack cargo vessels carrying food or anyone who hurts them, and then leave. They do not know where they come from or where they go. They do not have the military to conduct some operations. But they would be very grateful if we would take on that task. The Grand Admiral chose, because of the hospitality of Tusorix and not wanting to burn that bridge, to assist in this endeavor. Plotting their exit vector when they entered hyperspace showed a string of 14 potential systems in a direct line that could have been their destination. Assigning the Dark Brotherhood to handle 2 of these and other 12 were broken up with each Battlegroup assigned to investigate 2 each. Welcome to RTF 2022 |
