Report about the Inner Core exploring mission on 23.11.3013
The mission was led by Lt.-Cmdr. Inpo (nick-name "International-Police"), a former officer of the Coalition-embedded Syrian-Strike-Forces. He became famous after successful leading of a small fleet in the Ancient wars in Dervon (see here). His capital ship was the borderworld dreadnought "SY Inquisitor". Lt. Denne supported the fleet with a repair ship (|DP|repenne).
In the beginning the fighter fleet consisted of members of different clans and freelancers. The nick-names in alphabetical order:

Another pilot (Johny-Walker) had some "technical problems" with the hypergate in Omega 3, got no access and had to abort.
The mission started 21:20 pm (servertime) from jumpgate to Venn. The very first AU-s went "easeful as usual" - corresponding to the asteroid field around the gate. It was expected to pass Venn quick and without bigger incidents. Shortly after exiting the asteroid field this expectation was destroyed, when a Dom'Nepesh fleet uncloaked with 4 cruisers and even a mothership. Lt.-Cmdr. ordered to engage and so the first battle began. The result of this showed, that our appearance was a surprise for the Dom'Nepesh too, since they lost their fleet within few minutes. But shortly after that there came the next one and this was the point to decide to boost our power and Lt.-Cmdr. Inpo ordered another human battleship to Inner Core, the Liberty Dreadnought "Leroy".
With this overwhelming power we proceeded the mission and it became more and more clear, that something strange is going on here. The deeper we went into Inner Core systems the more alien fleets we had to engage. Hot spots were the well known Savage station in Jormdar and the whole Pyrddra system. In the end there was not time to explore the systems for hidden jumpholes or new secret facilities. It became just a matter of surviving the mission.
But with each alien fleet and all their fighter squadrons that we took down the idea came to our mind, that these aliens didn't expect us at all. It looked much more, they prepared for another war, between themselves or against Dom'Kavash, we still don't know. Anyway, we decided once again to increase our firepower and ordered more pilots (SEINAS and agent5 joining).
After a short visit of Celldra system Lt.-Cmdr. Inpo decided to head back to Weth, because we saw there some strange lights and assumed this as a new secret alien weapon. Later we realized the correctness of this idea when - back in Pyrddra again - computer displays in our ships showed strange symbols and suddenly the computers crashed. It seems that the aliens have infected them with a kind of virus similar to the virus used by the Cylons long ago, that disabled whole human fleets except some of the old constructions like the BS Galactica. Anyway, the result was the loss of our half fleet on planet Culd where they had to fullfil an emergency landing.
One of these ships was the repair ship under Lt. Denne and it was really big luck for them since the experienced engineers were really able to repair most of the vessels. There was absolutely no possibility to help the pilots landed on Culd and so the battleships of our fleet and some fighters had to leave the Pyrddra system for their own repairs. When all activities were finished the vessels started from planet Culd and met the remaining fleet in Mepther. With all the damages we decided now finally to head back to Weth for reporting all what we saw.
Mission Results:
While the objectives were just exploring the systems between Omega 3 and Weth and looking for anomalies, we found that the Aliens prepare for something really big. They established a new electronic warfare and their capabilities to produce big amounts of vessels have incredibly increased. The only positive knowledge of this mission is, that their targets are not preferred to be us humans, since they always showed an unusual failing in dealing with our battleships and fighters. Nevertheless we should stay careful and proceed with our daily patrols.
Our success in counts:
Destroyed alien cruisers: about 100
Destroyed Mother- or Battleships: 25
Destroyed alien fighters and bombers (not preferred targets): more than 80
End of report.
