Battlescars:
Admiral's log 1-25-2006: Wave after wave of frigates advanced on the mothership. For a time we thought we had the upper hand, and command authorized a counter-assault. This mistake nearly cost us the campaign. The enemy had anticipated our advance and managed to board and disable the mothership. At the same time our other enemies, in an unholy alliance, advanced on our mining and production center. Our crew aboard the shipyard managed to finish a second battlecruiser just before the shipyard went up in a blaze of glory, but this brief glimpse of hope was short lived. The enemy fired on our virgin battlecruiser with all their might and managed to bring it down before we could bring its might to bear.
I watched in horror from the disabled Pride of Hiigara as our crews rushed to restore control. Even as the bulk of our production and mining facilities were demolished, power was restored to the mothership, and I advanced with our remaining battlecruiser upon the remains of the fleet. At this point, the campaign seemed all but lost. What could the Pride of Hiigara and one battlecruiser do against the full might of our enemies?
More than they ever imagined.
With our backs to the wall the battle became a dance. The battlecruiser advanced while the mothership retreated, and then positions would change as the mothership advanced, giving the battlecruiser some respite. Even as our hull breached on many decks, we witnessed the last vessel of the enemy's assault force crumble into ruin. Knowing our enemies possessed greater fleets in reserve, we took the opportunity to slip into deep space.
With few resources, the recovery period was long. There was no chance of rebuilding our mighty fleet, so surprise remained our greatest ally. We had alluded our enemies' sensors, so we were able to advance directly into the heart of their territory from above. Perhaps thinking we had turned tail and run, the enemy was not prepaired for our assault. With nothing but the Pride of Hiigara and a battlecruiser, I was able to bring victory out of nearly complete defeat.
