[Stone Mill]

Asmala's offensive blitz was finally run down, but only after taking it's toll on 4 systems. The only optimistic thing about the attack is that the Mercator empire is still somewhat healthy.

Though hurt, the Mercator empire had other ideas than just laying down. Three attack Groups retaliated from different entry points, and scorched a few of the Black Hole Rider's systems, including a nice one. Significant interior patrols have yet to counter them. I think my counterattack was somewhat of a surprise, but I am skeptical about the level of damage I did to his war machine.

What a match.
