The Storm's Gaze #2

Commodore's report: 2021-07-17 - 2021-07-28
From the Desk of Silwar Naiilo
The screen in front of Silwar lit up with hundreds of blips appearing out of hyperspace. 'The Warrior has arrived at Bunduki, as expected,' he noted to LC Tygra Shadowclaw and MAJ EvilGrin. 'However, we were not expecting a fleet this size. They outnumber us almost two to one.' Silwar stood up straight, turning to the pair of commanders. 'It's your squadrons on the line today. We cannot win this battle, but we can cripple this batlegroup. Their fleet is, overall, smaller than ours; we can make this an even trade while we position ourselves for a counterattack.' Shadowclaw nodded. 'Thunder Squadron won't go down without a fight.' EvilGrin wordlessly put on his flight helmet and left to debrief his pilots. It was going to be a very long, hard fight.
The Hammer sent a small raiding party to Kammia, not expecting the might of the Fifth Battlegroup to be waiting for them when they arrived. There were no survivors on the Hammer's side of the Second Battle of Kammia. Sadly, we lost one squadron of Y-Wings; their sacrifice will be celebrated in the halls of the Challenge cantina. After a few more turns, the Warrior showed up with a massive force at Bunduki. While they did take the system, their already much-smaller force has further diminished, while ours remains strong. Thanks to the heroic efforts of the Challenge pilots, we dealt more damage than we took, furthering our lead in fleet size. We submitted 1,442 Legions and scored an average of 76.4% on the singleplayer battle across 21 pilots, showing that we won't go quietly. We will have our vengeance.
Real Heroes of the Challenge is ending in two days! Get entries in before August 1st.
