AMC Stragglers Shattered on Spica
Добавлено: 05 июн 2009, 19:43[17 April 3071; VoB] Rejoice, Blessed beneficiaries of Blake’s protection! Our stalwart Word of Blake Militia has this day soundly defeated a treacherous and unprovoked attack by undisciplined mercenaries on Spica!
Two separate bands of malcontents tried to destroy the peaceful serenity of Spica. The Thirteenth Stalking Horse and the Wild Geese, both members of the infamous anti-Blakist organization Allied Mercenary Command, landed three days ago and attempted to interdict the peaceful flow of relief materials to the Steel Forest. Viewers will recall the devastation that rolled through the Forest after the industrial accident there two weeks ago. The battles disrupted the relief columns for all three days, making the denizens of the forest suffer unnecessarily.
The Spica Protectorate Militia responded to the mercenaries’ landings immediately. The Light of Devotion II-epsilon arrived within two hours of the mercenaries’ DropShips landing and immediately brought the wretched lucre-warriors under fire. They held their ground for six hours until the rest of the Blessed Solidity-III gamma arrived and forced the mercenaries on the defensive. They forced the Wild Geese’s DropShips back into the air, making it impossible for the Geese to resupply with them.
The Thirteenth ran like cowards, the smaller unit seeking the shelter of the edges of the Steel Forest, pursued by the balance of Blessed Solidity. They managed to break contact several times, but the valiant defenders of the PM relocated them quickly every time. By the time the rest of the PM units had contained the mercenaries, the Stalking Horse made like a crippled donkey and ran with its tail between its legs.
Although some of the mercenaries managed to escape, neither of the units will be threatening those under Blake’s protection for a very long time.
