2950

What started as a routine bounty hunt at Security Post Kareah turned into open war when XenoThreat broadcast across Stanton. With a CDF contract in hand, we crewed a Hammerhead and went head-to-head with swarms of fighters, a hostile Hammerhead, and finally an Idris. Against impossible odds, we whittled the giant down, exploiting XenoThreat’s lack of damage control until their own ship turned against them. The final blow came when the Idris’s core exploded, lighting the black with a blue fireball and shockwave that sealed their fate. Cassini held the line.

Rackham, a rogue Talon pilot, was terrorizing Port Olisar while the station’s defenses were down. Spectemus and I took a Vanguard into the fight — him piloting, me manning the turret — and after a brutal dogfight that left us with a blown engine and heavy damage, we finally brought the Rogue down. Olisar survived, but just barely. 

What began as an ordinary day at Port Olisar turned into chaos when Nine Tails blockaded Cru-L1, hijacking Stanton comms with a recruiting video before unleashing swarms of fighters, multiple Hammerheads, and even an Idris. I crewed the Hammerhead DomRosa alongside CDF volunteers, hammering the blockade in a brutal fight that left ships gutted and crews sent back to regen. The Idris fell, but only after staggering losses. Rumors spread that Nine Tails slipped their fleet into Stanton through the Pyro Gate — and that Orison might be their next target. 

Tracking the bounty Janu Coons took us across Stanton and finally to a deadly cave system on Hurston’s surface, where the temperature hit 223°C and survival was measured in minutes. Ghostkiller7 charged in recklessly, knocking out one of Janu’s crew barehanded, while I scavenged weapons from the fallen to keep us fighting.
