Introduction (out of character)
When the Ushra Kahn "article" was posted, the Teddybears were extremely upset that fact checking that DID NOT take place. We are a small but proud corporation that takes pride in NOT exploiting. We have a standing rule that prohibits such activities and ANYONE caught exploiting will immediately be kicked from our corporation. And to add insult to injury- it was said we lost a pilot. Again this was proven wrong. So to teach the arrogant Ushra'Khan a lesson we put a plan in motion…
'OPERATION BASHING'
OPERATION BASHING has been one of the largest coordinated fleet operations the Teddybear Corporation (ROAAR) have implemented. One week prior to the operation, ROAAR had a reconnaissance fleet in Amamake checking the local “loot offers”. A major fleet of Ushra Kahn ships attempted a “sneak attack” to gank the small ROAAR reconnaissance team and finally started a massive attack. The ROAAR Captains easily evaded this attack and withdrew from the system chased by 30 Ushra Kahn ships. This is a normal process that often happens when Teddybear recon teams check the local loot drops. One day after this incident with Ushra Kahn Alliance, alias “UNITY” released an article about a ROAAR recon team evading combat with their “tails between their legs”. This “article” encouraged ROAAR Command to create tactics to fight the Ushra Kahn fleet in empire outnumbered.
ROAAR Command decided to use cutting edge stealth technology combined with an ambush. On October the 4th a subcorp of Ishukone was ordered to deliver 10 high-tech cloaking-devices to the hidden ROAAR Headquarters in Amamake. Meanwhile the ROAAR logistics team was ordered to prepare 13 battleships for this secret mission.
The plan was simple, effective and called 'OPERATION BASHING'. A ROAAR reconnaissance team would get in to into position in Amamake while being guarded by a cloaked heavy gunship team.
On October the 8th the ROAAR logistic team (RLT) contacted ROAAR Command (RC) and reported that the recommended 13 battleships and 10 cloaking devices were ready and deployed in the ROAAR Amamake Headquarters. RC ordered 13 pilots to settle into Amamake on October 9th which was designated for the ambush on Ushra Kahn fleet.
On October 9th 15:05 Syndicate time 10 ROAAR pilots reported status “READY and ARMED”, while three Captains were still fighting their way through high security empire to get to Amamake, RC decided to delay operation BASHING 1 hour. At 15:59 all 13 combat pilots reported status “READY and ARMED”. All 13 battleships undocked and went into their positions at the gate. The 10 battleships were assigned to cloak 40 km away from 3 battleships acting as visible loot recon team.
16:34:00 A Sniggerdly recon shows up 340 km away from the fleet, keeps scouting for 20 minutes and then disappears.
16:38:00 2 Cloaking devices have a technical malfunction and the cloaked team is in danger to loose their cover. The cloak failure was clearly due to the inadequate Matari assembly lines operated by fools. The whole ambush plan is in danger, but the 2 pilots manage to cloak their ships again unseen.
17:02:00 Several Covert Ops Frigates are scanned before they disappear from scanners. RC is now sure that the recon team has attracted the enemy.
17:30:00 RC picks up more and more signatures and radio communication in the area. But the Ushra Kahn fleet has not been spotted yet. RC considers to canceling the operation, but then battleship “VooDoo” picks up 2 Dominix signatures. Recon hauler “mother” scans an Ushra Kahn Fleet Commander in Amamake.
18:00:00 Still no Ushra Kahn fleet. Could the mission be a failure? After asking the advice of ROAAR Profilers RC decides to stay. The psychological profile of the enemy Ushra Kahn leaders show that they will attack sooner or later. The “Psycho Freaks” advice pays off.
18:21:50 There are now more than 50 pilots in the Amamake solar system.The scanners show more fleet activity in Amamake. More than 25 ships are incoming to the Reconnaissance Team Position! RC orders to Fire Teams to uncloak! While the 10 ROAAR Battleships uncloak the Ushar Kahn fleet warps directly on top of Reconnaissance Team.
18:22:01 Recon team battleship “U-21” starts to warp scamble several Ushra Kahn battleships. Two ROAAR Recon Sniper-Battleships warp out only to regroup at an optimal 100 km away.
Data recorder log:
[ 2005.10.09 18:22:02 ] (notify) Orthan [ROARR] has started trying to warp scramble the Battleship, "Hellcore [-RCS-]
The dogs of war are off the leash…
18:22:10 Gunship teams are fully uncloaked and the RC splits the 10 battleships into Fireteam 1 (FT1) and Fireteam 2 (FT2).
18:22:11 FT1 opens fire at Dominx class battleship “Hellcore” wich explodes instantly.
18:22:12 FT2 opens fire at Megathron class battleship “Breed Core”.
18:22:13 RC battleship U-21 under command of Orthan is under fire. But the captain decides to stay and to keep his 7 warp disruptors on the Ushra Kahn battleships.
18:22:14 Ushra Kahn battleship “Breed Core” explodes in a massive explosion.
18:22:17 FT1 opens fire at a unknown Ushra Kahn Scorpion class battleship. It warps with structure damage thanks to being “stabpacked”.
18:22:19 FT2 aims at Caracal Class cruiser “Sister Bliss” which instantly blows into 1000 pieces.
18:22:21 FT1 switches target to Armageddon class battleship “Cold Lazarus”. Fireteam 2 supports. Cold Lazarus explodes in a brilliant display of color fireworks.
18:22:22 The majority of the Ushra Kahn fleet flees, but still their some of their ships keep warping in.
18:22:23 Concentrated ROAAR fire takes out Celestis class cruiser “Minyon”
18:22:24 The Recon Team opens fire on Typhoon class battleship “Tano”. FT1 and 2 support. Battleship Tano explodes.
18:23:00 The battle has been won. 7 Ushra Kahn capital ships destroyed and an unknown amount of other ships heavy damaged. Operation “BASHING” was very successful. The Ushra Kahn fleet flees in panic (Tails between their legs? You decide.).
Ushra Kahn losses = 7+
ROAAR losses = 0
