Captain Philo reporting in for Yod Squadron 06.09.02

Fleet News:

Imperial Storm III:

The Battle Royal between the Sov and the Avenger is over, and the Sov is victorious, but at a price. From VA Proton’s report:

The SSSD Sovereign task force today attacked a planet held by the Avenger Task Force. Forces of the flagship destroyed the SSD Avenger, a frigate, two corvettes and six-plus starfighter squadrons.

The Sovereign has conquered the planet and continues to lead the Imperial Storm III operation.

Our losses were severe, however, as the Avenger was not an easy kill. We lost two full wings of advanced starfighters. Overall, we are down to about 2/3 strength after this titanic battle. The Avenger task force has been cut down to about half strength.

-- The battle toll, as reported by WO/VA Pel:
Sov loses: 6 T/D squadrons, 6 T/A squadrons, 2 Gunboat Squadrons
ATF Loses: 2 T/A Squadrons, 2 GUN Squadrons, 2 MIS Squadrons, 2 T/Is, 2 CRVs, 1 FRG, 1 SSD
For the TIE part, Sov team won, and saved 489 points. High scorer was Inky, ATF High scorer was Athen.

Great job by all pilots and tacticians of the Sovereign!
