15 Nov 2019Adrella
The Odyssey had undergone a refit in the last week. She was now more of a Combat Search and Rescue vessel, outfitted with fuel transfer and repair limpets, while also being fitted with fighter and a passenger cabin.Before all that, though, a visit to Felicity was in order. The Odyssey's jump range was appalling at only 16 Lys. In the Li Chong system, I picked up a distress call. Responding, I found a freighter being harrassed by two different factions - the Cartel of Li Chong, with a Krait Mk II and Viper Mk IV, and a Li Chong Advanced Systems Viper Mk III.
Courtney took the fighter out, and I ordered them to leave the area. When they refused, I engaged. Taking on the Krait first, my pulse lasers ripped through its shields, with my multi-cannons making short work of its hull. I then engaged both of the lighter ships, tearing them apart quickly. I gathered up the salvage, then continued on my way.
In Gyvata Indi, I detected potential pirate activity around the resource extraction site of GI 3 A. I moved to investigate. Initial scans showed miners operating in the area with escorts, but then I saw weapons fire. My first kill was the Black Grave, a Vulture from the Intergalactic Basking Clan.
After a number of other engagements, at least a dozen pirate craft had been destroyed. However, I got cocky and took on a pirate group I wasn't prepared for. Fighting several fighters and a Python proved too much. My Condor was destroyed and my shields gave way. Suffering a number of hits to the hull, I was forced to withdraw. I continued on towards Deciat.
