CODE forces in Lave were on routine enforcement patrol.. After enduring several small uncoordinated attacks from local bounty hunters, activity died throughout the system for a period.
Intelligence reports of a Cosmic State fleet at Warinus station were recieved, and the patrol formed up within jump in distance of the station. We assume these nationalist scumbags were there to enforce some sort of blockade against our brothers in Anarchy at Warinus, and scouts reported that pilots under CODE protection had been attacked attempting to depart the station.
CODE forces jumped in from different vectors to assess the situation, and were promptly fired upon by CS Cobra's and other small ships. When it became clear they were being outwardly hostile CODE forces engaged and several pirate nation loyalist brothers joined in the fray. The firefight continued for several tense minutes, each side hitting but not seriously wounding each other. A call came out from a CODE pilot who's shields were down and had multiple enemy fighters converging on him. I saw his closest attacker, a Viper and peeled off in pursuit. After knocking down his shields the enemy ships in the area started converging on me, concentrating fire.
I saw an opportunity and assumed battlefield command of the fleet to coordinate our efforts. Two enemy command ships, a python and an Anaconda were supporting the fleet at the station. These slow targets were their weakness, and their destruction would be a signal of anarchist independance in the Lave cluster.
Ordering the fleet to converge on the station, knowing my friends were well behind with enemy fighters between myself and them I peeled back towards the station with the enemy squadron hot on my tail.
With the enemy fighters focused on me, they failed to notice my 8 closest friends heading for them at high speed from straight ahead. Burning though 4 shield cells and under heavy enemy fire, I guided both groups to a head on collision. My pursuiers broke formation to avoid the sudden heavy incoming fire and in the ensuing seconds of chaos i ordered CODE forces to open fire on the enemy Anaconda under CMDR Kudach's control. Under heavy fire from all angles, CMDR Kudach conducted an emergency jump out. As soon as we lost him we switched focus to his Python support ship, under CMDR Hyperlethal's control.
Mass locked and trapped, the python fell quickly. As his hull cracked, the anaconda came back in a desperate attempt to marshall his forces and salvage the battle. However CODE fleet scounts spotted him quickly. Ordering a full burn to his position and a concentration of fire the Anaconda's shields collapsed under a hail of laser fire. We can only assume the enemy commander chose to detonate his fusion core, rather then die to the sword of his enemy. The kind of noble sacrifice would only come from these nationalist war mongers.
The remenants of state forces scattered with the loss of their command and control ships. CODE forces maintained a CAP patrol of Warinus until the enemy fleet was spotted retreating several light years away.
CODE forces remain committed to supporting the people of Warinus, and their independance.
