Spatium

I've really been doing some traveling. Yesterday I travelled down to the Nervi system to attempt climbing "Mt.Neverest," as it's called by locals. After I inevitably failed miserably, I went up to the starport and took a peek at available missions. Once there I saw that one of the federal factions was at all out war with the local independent faction. The feds always pack some big guns, and I needed some extra cash from combat bonds, so decided to side with the feds. I then headed down to Nervi 1, where the HICZ was, the star growing steadily as I quickly approached at faster-than-light speeds. Once there, the ship's computer said "Capital Class Signiature Detected." I wasn't that alarmed, I'd been in conflict zones with Farraguts before. That was until the computer gave a second alert, the same message. With two Capital FSDs booming, and my ears throbbing from the intense sounds, the fighting immediately began. I quickly moved the throttle forwards and catapulted ahead. After I engaged my first target, I couldn't help but notice that it wasn't an imperial faction, rather an independent one. After quickly dispatching that target, I began my assault on the Majestic Class. As I dodged weapons fire, destroyed heat relays, and weapons, I had noticed that the MCI hadn't deployed any imperial fighters. All i thought to myself was "Curious." Soon after millions in bonds had been gained, me, with the help of the powerful broadsides of the FNS Trander and roughly 20 FNS ships, had destroyed the final heat relay. A powerful booming noise sounded shortly after, and the heat signiature of the MCI significantly increased. It then moved forward at incredible speed for its size, and as quickly as it appeared, it vanished into the blackness of space. On the comms I heard everyone cry out in joy, I of course joining them. I had gained a respectable 100+k cr bond from redirecting the MCI, and was soon on my way back to the station. I can't stop thinking of why an independent faction had access to an imperial vessel. Can’t see how the Empire would have allowed such as thing to happen, unless they were supporting the independent faction or something. Probably doesn’t matter in the long run. At least I got some decent money.
