Adad Civil War
04 Jul 2015Synthawk
Found another system in the midst of chaos today. Brani's civil war ended yesterday, meaning it was time for me to find a new place where my services would be payed for. After some trips around getting the final upgrades for my Diamondback Scout, fully outfit now with my ideal configuration, my final pieces were to be picked up in Adad. Upon landing however, I discovered that the People's Adad Liberals were at war with the Adad Life Group.Always one to sign up for the Federations side against independent and Empire groups, I signed up with the Adad Life Group and headed for a high intensity site within a few seconds supercruise from Alvares Terminal.
The fighting there was very intense, with an unusually high number of Empire ships in the fray. This was one of the first times I encountered the Imperial Courier and the Imperial Fighter, but both of them outnumbered the Eagle on the battlefield, and in fact Imperial Clippers were more common than Pythons as well. Was a good test of my skill to get me ready for my deployment tomorrow to Empire space to try undermining their systems for Zachary Hudson. Couriers and Fighters were incredibly easy to kill, not even requiring me to use my autocannons to quickly dispatch them. The Imperial Clipper on the other hand was a difficult beast to deal with. I found it to be a less tanky but more manueverable Python, and had to be very careful to swing behind these behemoths as their turreted weapons shredded my weakly defended Diamondback Scout in quick order.
All in all I had a successful night. 5,291,255 were made in missions and combat bonds from the Adad Life Group, filling my wallet out to around 17 million. This covers a good majority of the 22 mil (currently) that I will need to buy my current goal for the Diamondback Explorer. Additionally, I finally reached my Masters ranking for Combat Rank, and made 7% of my way through that as well. Finally feel like I'm getting a good grip on things in this universe.
