The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong
Pilots:
- Major Pitak Puzaki
- 1st Lieutenant Marsha Shannon
Ship Type:
- Scimitar's; assigned to the TCS Eagle's Talon
Mission:
- Code Red missions as the main Kilrathi forces in the system are attacking Hubble IV. Phi Wing is ordered to investigate a report that a new group of bogies has disappeared in an asteroid field at Nav 1.
Synopsis:
- We discovered four Krant in the asteroid field at Nav 1. They appeared to be heading toward the Eagle's Talon and an immediate attack was ordered with both Scimitar pilots attacking the lead Kilrathi ship.
Traveling at 300 KPS, mass driver cannons were used to clear our path through the asteroids. Shannon broke left and nosed down until below and behind me. I launched a single dumb-fire missile while the enemy targets were still in formation. Evasive measure taken until blaster power reached maximum levels. Constant jockeying for advantageous position, with cannons used only when close and sure. A single Javelin attack was successful, but three Krant destroyed by guns.
Four Gratha observed attacking the carrier. Break and attack ordered at full afterburners. Constant sliding tactics, mass drivers in tight, and remaining Javelins eliminate two targets. Taunting is constant.
Two Jalthi join the attack. Target locked on trailing Jalthi and Shannon is ordered to attack it. I engage lead Jalthi. Dramatic speed changes and frequent slides employed. Shannon destroys one Jalthi, I take out two Gratha and a Jalthi with Gatling.
