Seeker I, Captain's log, SGY 2404.9 (third part):

This is turning out to be a long, long tenth. Word came through yesterday from Fleet Command to intercept and destroy the oncoming Yakrin vessels before they reached our position. The Fleet left orbit almost immediately, leaving the Assault Regiment back on Aram I, where they and the natives have already begun to rebuild the planet's starport infrastructure.

A few hours later, we were within scanning distance of the two Yakrin frigates. Our carriers launched some fighters at long range, then approached in close formation with the Seeker while launching the rest of their fighters.

The enemy ships drifted apart as they came towards us; one of them had some engine damage and began to fall behind. Our leading fighters reached the lead ship and swarmed around it, trying to disable its engines. It was like Aram III all over again - the enemy weapons were mounted on turrets with low traverse speeds, which allowed our TIE fighters to avoid their fire. The leading enemy ship was disabled before the second one could fire on our fighters.

We approached its drifting hulk and destroyed it with the Seeker's lasers. Meanwhile, the fighters had already disabled the second frigate, which was destroyed by Black Sword I.

We recovered our fighters and went on to meet and recover Lieutenant Haad's flight, which was approaching us on their Last supplies. We now have our full complement of fighters and will head back to Aram I. So far, the Fleet hasn't lost a single unit in space combat.

I wonder how long this record will Last.
