Latest Combat report from the office of [IMG]

[raphael]

@Jam, yup, was talking to Jazz.

@Sargas, I haven't engaged in piracy for over 2 months now. Though to me it doesn't really matter if people still see me as a pirate. 

[Jazzbob]

raphael, don't take it personally :-) I always expect that you come back again and that is the reason for my diplomacy ;-)

[Dadds]

We at [IMG] see you as an antagonist Raphael. Remove your offensive and insultingly puny equipment from the orbit of Saturn or it will be removed by force. It wont take much force, but under the circumstances, its nice to use massive and overwhelming force just to make a slight point in your direction. Events have been observed and noted at Saturn and right now everyone is looking in your direction and not with any admiration, let me tell you!

[Dadds]

News in today of some new rounds of combat between IMG and SSS
IMG fleet command today with colateral intelligence gathering, struck a double prong attack on 2 of Admiral Raphael's combat fleet.
The Iron Maiden, which must be, by now feeling a little battle weary and rustic, and SSS Comms #6.
Not only did our fleet send them packing, it also disrupted their revenue flow which hopefully will slow down the rise in this pirate's activities for growth.
Following is the "blow by blow" events as they happened.

As you can see, even though Admiral Raphael's power is twice that of Dadds whole personal fleet power, it was a decisive set of victories for the leader of IMG. As it shows, you need more than just raw power to be an effective combat commander. It is our hopes that some education is imparted on how to build an effective fleet for future commanders to learn from.

IMG now wonder if Admiral Raphael wishes to continue this style of warfare, or finally acknowledge IMG's claim to the holdings at Saturn and withdraw his challenges there, and to finally recognize the decisions and rulings of the Galactic Council as being a law for every one to adhere to or to consider.

[Dadds]

Yet another update from what is becoming a common place result lately with the ongoing battle between IMG and SSS.
Admiral Dadd's 1st Fleet encountered a com vessel of SSS designated "SSS COM7"  around an orbit of HD 219134, where Dadds assigned one of his newest boarding vessels to the task of removing the agitator. It was a good field test for this newly commissioned vessel which was only half manned when she encountered SSS and results were significant.

SSS Corp Leader, "Admiral Raphael" is yet to respond to this wave of battles sweeping through his fleet and offers no comment, challenge or parley to what must be becoming a state of emergency for SSS leadership. IMG command are resolved in its purpose to remove declared pirates and antagonists from the inner systems to give new rookie pilots a fighting change to grow and prosper without constant bombardment by terrorist groups.
Can Admiral Raphael's fleet continue unabated with the bleeding attacks being brought upon him by his rival(s)? Time will be the ultimate judge.

[JamJulLison]

Interesting enough Raph seems to have withdrawn from attempting attacks at Jupiter for now.

[Dadds]

Maybe he is going to focus all his efforts into public enemy #1 (in his eyes) lol

[sargas]

well, he will still have to watch out for the rest of us...

...giggle...

I was on vacation with limited access to the internet but I'm back now. The fun continues.
