Border Activities in sector 1204 Report Log supplemental

Stardate 98039.18

Commander Robert T Bigelow

Sky Complex 4

Repulse T-bomb toke out 7 incoming drones, and transported a second one 
roughly in the same spot to take care of the following wave, but the 
programming didn’t take for account the slower speed drones.  Base still 
lending electronic protection to Repulse, but the carrier is now to far 
to offensively jam.  Tactical reported that many drones were launch from 
the fighters and that Repulse and the Alouettes interceptors also added 
some protective ones for themselves.

After the massive drones launch from the fighters they turn away to put 
distance between them and us, they surely will regroup with the carrier 
to reload.

The base anti drones system is spitting a few rounds toward the drones 
that has slip the second T-bomb with great success.  We also release NCL 
from our grip and let her go on the hunt, a third T-bomb is transported 
before Repulse raise it shield.  The second T-bombs exploded but didn’t 
take out as many drone has expected, Repulse must tractor one of then to 
prevent it from hitting her.  Now that the information about those 
drones are showing up on the tactical overlay, we can help out with the 
ADD the remove the treat in front of Repulse.

The Interceptor tried to eliminate the electronic fighter but the 
photons shot miss completely.  So they turn back toward the base and 
start picking off drones at very close range with phasers.  The third 
T-bomb is set off and take down more drones.  With the sky clearing up, 
I order the science station to disrupt the guidance of some drones that 
are obviously targeting Repulse, with a success rate of 66% we are doing 
good.  Suddenly and explosion on the starboard side take out 3 more 
drones, guess Repulse discreetly roll out a T-bomb.

Few more phaser and ADD shot and the first wave of drones is no longer 
existing.  Now we have to brace for the second pass, this one will 
definitely be more challenging.

Situation at end of turn 2:

  * EFS Repulse still have a few damages on #1
  * IKV Repressor #6 half gone, manage to fix 1 box
  * 1 Klingon drones R4 behind from NCL
  * Klingon Fighters are landing in Rabbleslayer, for reload
  * Klingon fleet is about 20 hexes away from Base

Stardate 98039.16

Commander Robert T Bigelow

Sky Complex 4

Once more, the OFS Klingon have sent a harassing carrier group to test 
our resolve.  The identification from our data came back positive, it’s 
the IKS D5V Rabbleslayer escorted by the AD5 Scorn and AF5 Repressor 
that are trying to disrupt our economic activities in this sector.  
Order was sent to the surface for the non essential citizen to protect 
themselves, and militia is being mobilized as I record this log. I 
request that the various shuttles take flight as soon as possible, in 
order to screen the planet and base from the drones that are sure to 
come in from the Klingons.

My demand for support was answer by EFS NCL Repulse that came in the 
last few intervals, thanks to our advanced tactical information sent it 
is at WS3.  Upon her arrival 2 mustang interceptors from the Alouette 
squadron separated from her hull and use the planet to boomerang their 
speed up.  A quick tactical data highly encrypted was exchange with 
Repulse and I will catch her in my tractor as she pass by in order to 
build up speed and reform with the Interceptors.  With Repulse scanner 
working at maximum to cut through the electronic chatter from the 
Klingon, I give the instruction to our science station to sent her some 
ECM protection in case the Klingon try anything at long range. 
  Rabbleslayer is making it approach at speed 15 and launched it fighter 
squadron leisurely.  With it fighters has the tip of the spear, a wave 
of drones is now vectoring on Repulse and maybe also on us,  the range 
it still to far to start identifying them, but according to the status 
board, our defense capability is online and vigorously tracking and 
waiting to optimum range to engage the threat.

At 625 intervals from start we launches an ECM drone for protection 
because the incoming swarm of drones is getting very concerning.  At 
that moment Rabbleslayer came into range to be fully bombarded by our 
electronic jamming suite.  Rabbleslayer open up with a barrage of 
disrupter fire and even with Repulse electronic protection 3 beams 
intersected her shield #1 and drop it by about 15%.  At 750 intervals 
from start it time to notify these marauders that they are not welcome 
here!  2 Photons prox and 8 Ph-1 from Repulse and us, drop the front 
port side shield of Repressor by more then half.  The return phaser fire 
from the Klingon barely made the base shield shimmer!

Repulse just dropped it front shield to transport a T-Bomb in the path 
of incoming shoal of drones, that should take care of part of them in a 
few intervals. Fighters are still on coarse to target, and the carrier 
group inflected it trajectory to move away from our weapons.

Situation at end of turn 1:

  * EFS Repulse few damages on #1
  * IKV Repressor #6 half gone
  * 16 Klingon drones between R4-9 from Base
  * Klingon Fighters are about R10 from Base
