A Hunter Again- Jan 2, 3302

So yesterday a lot happened, and I decided not to write because I was getting everything sorted after... Well here's what happened.I left the starport, and headed to the HAZRES, which didn't take long.
Once I arrived, I checked the contacts, and before I turned up back to look at where I was going, I heard a blaring roar.
I then turned up and saw before me a massive anaconda, accompanied by two Viper MkIVs.
I received Comms, presumably from the conda.
"No cargo? you useless bloke"
"Sooo, why did you need to send me Comms?" I asked
"Comms disconnected"
The anaconda turned downwards and flew towards the top/underside of the rings.
I then began to look for an actual target.
I blasted forward with a boost and saw an Imperial Clipper.
After I scanned the ship, I saw the amount of the bounty.
"240,000"
I opened fire.
A quick high calibre shot from the cannon blasted into the Sheilds.
A few more well placed shots and the Sheilds were gone.
The target started desperately spinning and ducking behind rocks, but I had the upper hand with higher vertical manoeuvrability.
As the Clipper tucked in behind a large rock, I lost track of where the ship was, and a few seconds later, I was receiving fire.
Sheilds at 80%
75%
I did a quick FA off manoeuvre, and spun around, then did a short downward thrust, then turned upwards.
In the side holotab, I targeted drives, and after a few shots, the ship was drifting through the rings.
Before I collected that great bounty, I had a few questions.
"Comms Sent"
"Receiving carrier signal..."
"Connected"
"Please! Don't shoot! I am just here to get some food on my family's table!" Said the pilot in an Imperial accent
I disconnected comms. I don’t trust imperials. Almost as much as I don’t trust federals.
The turret weapons on the engine pods of the ship quickly turned upwards, and began pecking at my Sheilds as the Clipper started moving again.
I boosted away, and since the faster Clipper had the upper hand now, I was losing shield fast.
40%
20%
0
A burst laser shot pierced the docking port, and the whole area burst open, causing the aft bulkheads to close (what the damage report said).
A second shot grazed the canopy, sending cracks shooting through it.
"Hull at 50%"
The next shot completely wrecked the starboard wing.
After all of that damage, I finally jumped out.
Eventually arriving back at Crik City, I then just looked at GalNet News.
