A small fleet formed up to make a stand in the defense of Skarkon. While fewer in number than hoped, all of the pilots I spoke to agreed that hadn’t stopped our small but stalwart corps in the past.
Upon entering Skarkon we warped to the Republic Parliament Bureau in system after detecting a Triglavian roaming gang there, and desiring a cleared-ish staging point for pilots who would join later.
Then, we set sights on the Emerging Conduits we were confident our gang could handle. The hunt is ever afoot.
Finally, after two hours of continuous fighting the balance of power tilted ever so slightly in favor of EDENCOM. The only other capsuleers presents in system were opportunistic salvagers. ALXVP deployed Slingshot Scanning Devices into a suborbital trajectory while aiding a Republic EDENCOM squad in orbit about Skarkon II.
Search and Rescue of downed Republic EDENCOM ship crews was also carried out after the orbital clash near Skarkon II. Salvaging operations were conducted to reduce orbital debris. Evaluations are currently underway to more efficiently clear space of Triglavian ships. Current thoughts point towards a composition geared more for damage than defense, but for anyone else who will come to Skarkon’s aid we will be staging in nearby high-security space (Lirerim and Hek namely). The fight against the Triglavian threat in Skarkon will undoubtedly continue for some days.
