Illegal Narcotics Seized

by LT Lev Gammitt

This occurred by the ISD Relentless recently.

Sept 21
Aurora Sector

At approx 18:45 pm I (LT Lev Gammitt) was on routine patrol in my Missile Boat "Red Thunder". All was quite for that time of the night. Usually there is a lot of fighters coming and going due to shift changes and personnel going to other ships and ports. There were a couple of Freighters nearby entering the sector, so I decided to go check out the contents of cargo. As I was approaching one of the Freighters to inspect it, I got a gut feeling that things were not as they seemed. I perked up, trying to keep an eye on everything that was going on. I noticed that there was a couple of carbon scoring on the rear quadrant of a Freighter. The manifest stated that they should have been carrying a full Supply of Alcohol for the Stardrifter Lounge on the ISD Relentless. That was not the case! My sensors indicated that the freighter was carrying narcotics. I quickly turned on the freighter matching my speed with his. I then hailed the Freighter to stop and drop it shields immediately, due to them being in violation of carrying illegal cargo. By the time that I had finished ordering the ship to stop, I got a warning tone that there were incoming fighters. Sensors indicated 4 R-41 Starchasers. I immediately transferred power to my shields and throttled up to max power. Then quickly switched to concussion missiles. The R-41s were about 4 clicks out. I got a tone and launched 2 missiles. Marking one of the R-41's with a skull and crossbones. By time I got one of the Starchasers pushing up daisies, I had one on my six. I jinked and juked. He stuck with me and fired 2 short blasts to my rear shield, knocking them down to half. I rolled and tucked in behind the R-41 lighting up his rear panel. What a colorful show it was. Just then 4 Mugari Y-wings showed up. I radioed for assistance. To the rescue came LC Ace Pilot. He stated as he was leaving the hanger, "Give Me 2 Minutes and I'll be there". It seemed like it took forever for him to get there. He vaped 2 Y's immediately. I headed for the Freighter to try and disable the shields. I was cut off by 2 squints. (Tie Fighters). I wonder what they were trying to do. Sensors showed that they were pirates. By the time a got a fix on one of them, 2 more squints dropped in behind me. I knew that LC Ace Pilot was busy with the Y's and the R-41s, so I was on my own. Then just out of the blackness of space came CMDR Quake. He cleared the 2 that were on my six and proceeded to help out LC Ace Pilot (not that he needed it because he is the ACE PILOT of the Relentless). I proceeded to take out one of the squints wings in front of me. He then veered into the other flying beside him. Mark 2 Squints I shouted into my comlink. I the diverted power from my shields to my engines. I caught up the Freighter in question, and used 4 missiles to take out the shields. I then proceeded to use my Ion cannons to disable the craft. After the craft was disabled, I radioed the Relentless and had them send a boarding party. I then proceeded to the other freighter. Scanners indicated that the cargo was Alcohol for the ISD Relentless Stardrifter Lounge. The freighter continued and docked with the Relentless. I checked on LC Ace and CMDR Quake. They were both flying back to the Relentless to share in some celebrating in the StarDrifter Lounge. I stayed back and made sure the freighter was boarded and captured. I then escorted the Freighter back to the holding bay of the Relentless where I finished up my report and booked the evidence. I then joined CMDR Quake and LC Ace Pilot in the Stardrifter Lounge and bought them a round of the finest Ale credits could buy.
