GalNet: Skirmish Over Defectors
21 Apr 2019Rho Tefnutet
It is not mystery that the superpowers vow to enforce their own laws upon the systems that try to maintain neutrality and independence. Sometimes however, the military or political pressure is not enough to harass the inferior navies.Federal Intelligence Agency has been concluding an investigation over acts of defections from the Federal Navy in the recent weeks. One of such vessels had been found in Draguan Nu and tried to be apprehended as FNS Legacy and its crew sought refuge around Reightler Dock - after a lenghtly runaway from the Federal Agents and associated bounty hunters.
As Federal Agents tried to force an illegal arrest upon crew of FNS Legacy, the local authorities of New Republic had no other choice but to act in defence of defectors. While the station defences remained silent in the wake of the skirmish, BHS Nuclear Ghandi has been deployed by Bloodbound Harvest - the private mercenary force associated with New Republic - in order to counter arrival of FNS Starlight, an FIA Federal Corvette deployed from nearby HIP 6796.
As a result, the FIA and bounty hunters' vessels were either destroyed or forced to withdraw while the New Republic lost a few fighters that tried to draw combat away from the station. BHS Nuclear Ghandi is stationed nearby Reightler Dock in order to oversee safety of FNS Legacy and its crew until the political alysium would be granted.
