Incident Description: See report#:234552/15135-WID for lead-up pursuit including three A.A. members.



First tasking of Cmdr. Robyn Highart since the downing of "Invincible". New commission aboard the FNSC "Vengeance". After many unsuccessful interdictions with an A.A. wing, Cmdr. Evvy June was spotted in Eravate with a kill-on-site criminal status.



Target submitted to interdiction and opened fire on Cmdr. Highart as soon as both ships dropped from supercruise. Target was armed with tracking beam lasers and multicannons. Shields appeared to be a heavily boosted bi-weave, a custom job preferred by pirates and smugglers who pray on small vessels in this sector.



The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ quickly depleted the hostile's shields and kept firing until they began to flee at an estimated 54% hull integrity. At this point, 6km out of firing range, Cmdr. Evvy June requested direct comms. with "Vengeance" and transmitted: "W8" . The Federal Agent decided to ignore the plea as an attempt to confuse and/or lead to a trap. The suspicious behavior of the now non-moving Fer-de-Lance pointed to two plausible possibilities. Upon regaining shield coverage, the ship may have used powerful shield cell banks. Cmdr. Highart did confirm that the ship-subsystem-scan did not show any heat sinks on board. This means that the shield cells may have damaged some of the already failing modules such as the drives, which were the primary focus of "Vengeance"'s fire. The only other explanation is that the criminal was trying to invoke mercy in order to bring down allies upon the agent.



The plea was not heeded by Cmdr. Highart. The criminal history, multiple engagements and evasive behavior of the wanted pilot left no possibility in his mind that he should go free or be allowed bail. "Vengeance" strengthened its shield capacitors and overcharged the fusion drive, putting it on a ramming course with the F-D-L. One second before impact it fired all weapons. The combined action left the ship at ▇▇ % hull integrity, close to fatal depressurisation. Once more Cmdr. Highart was hailed with "W8". The Python spun around and performed another fire-ram. This tore through the rear plating and impacted the reactor shielding, causing the F-D-L to destroy itself in a chain-reaction of localised explosions, culminating in the entire structure flying apart from the disastrous internal pressure.
