{ Personal Log /// CMDR Galen Peran /// 06 SEPT 3306 }After docking formalities, I make my way to the Combat Bonds office and hand over my data-pad to the clerk... "401 confirmed kills, that's a new record for you isn't it commander?"
I don't reply, each one of those was a person, a pilot, someone who gave everything for what they believed in, my "enemy"? sure, and each one would not have hesitated to kill me given the chance, but that still doesn't make me feel any better about the lives taken during this conflict
We did what we had to do. 8 Alpha-1 Libra Crimson Cartel are now in ruins, after devastating losses they had no option but to surrender control of the system and its station, Hire Hub.
They left the station barely functional and in complete disarray, but now we have taken over, we will deploy our engineering corps. and this will all soon be put right
I for one am now looking forward to an extended period of peace... maybe i'll even bring my Exploration ship out of mothballs
