“Lucky” encounter
Entry 0321.
A report from the leader of the imperial unit “Tempest”.
First intelligence on the pirate destroyer “Lucky”.
“... It was our first encounter with new samples of pirate flagships, after the “Woodlouse”, of course. It was near the Felony border. However, since ancient times all the crazy stuff has been flying there.
My scouts flew to “bite” it, testing its durability. This ship did not stand out, unlike the first experimental samples. Apparently, the Enclave is so successful in creating Seed-chips that it can turn ordinary ships into true killing machines. However, the bigger the module — the bigger the explosion, you know…”
“… When scouts approached it, they were hit with pulsar charges to the shields. We thought that the local guard was camouflaged nearby, but the destroyer calling itself “Lucky” did not call for help at once. And our locators would have detected everyone who decided to hide…”
“ … Scouts already had their hulls melted, they flew quite far back, but the pulsar did not stop throwing his charges as if out of nowhere. Later we realized that wherever we went, the pulsar appeared next to us…”
“... What was it shooting with? You know. This green thingy was one of the first that Ellydium presented. What was it… G... Gh... G'Thar'Du, yes! But stronger. Much stronger. Probably used the right chips…”
“... It was hiding from us behind barriers. It had a module from Sirius. You know, when we knew what it was, we realized that pirates could connect the unconnectable! A Federation module on a Jericho! But it really roasted us well…”
“... Rockets. Of course there were rockets. The ones from the “Woodlouse”. Looks like the Enclave is happy to use this project on anything… At least that's what we thought because it was a terrible thing…”
“… We struggled, but still broke through its shields, which was a great victory in the battle with the new enemy, yet we were forced to retreat. Another surprise — the clouds chewing through the hull appeared out of nowhere...”
“... Basically, that's it. Information about other pirate flagships will be in the following reports. Stay tuned!”
Sincerely,
Star Conflict Team
