From the Desk of Silwar Naiilo
Neko's targetting computer showed 'Unknown' as she moved to intercept the strange ship. It had two large engines, four huge deflector shield projectors, and a pair of heavy lasers in the front which it used to blast asteroids out of the way. Silwar and Neko had to weave around rocks, while this ship simply blasted them out of the way and allowed its shields to absorb any smaller pieces. 'Some kind of militarized mining ship?' wondered Silwar aloud over the radio. 'Stick to ion cannons if you can get a bead on this thing, and we can take it to the Science Office.' A yell came over the radio as a stray rock clipped one of Neko's wings - 'I'm damaged, stabilizers offline!' Silwar only had a moment to turn and help Neko, or pursue the ship. 'Can you head to the planet below? I'll radio back for pickup.' 'Yes,' replied Neko, looking warily at the tiny planet below. It had a thin atmosphere and some life readings, but hadn't been subject to any Imperial surveys, or at least any surveys that were loaded onto her nav computer. There was no telling what, or who, she'd run into below.
Tempest flew a few more Chalquilla Cup games this past weekend. We learned that we do best on Gallitan with interceptors, and could probably benefit from a support ship. Also, Kamjin got desparate and drank all of his wife's beverages; he's currently on a medical frigate to have his blood sugar levels tested. Best of luck, Sector Admiral.
MSEs have been evaluated by the COM; once the rest of the command staff have approved recommendations, medals will be going out.
