Windy defeats Boltic forces

SS Carboniferous has been involved in a major battle against ships from 2 Bolitic Baronys. Six ships from the Houses of Pendleman and Reigan attacked Task Force Windy while at Smolask for repair. Luckily this time Windscorpion had prior warning of their attack so was able to get the oiler accompanying Carboniferous into a safe position cloaked.

The odds were still high though comprising no less than 6 Snarl class battlecruisers in the Bolitic force. Windy used all of the Isometric frigate's advantages including taking the ship into Smolask's atmosphere however the odds were still too high and Carboniferous lost power and shields. The Apogee Of Man was saved by the timely arrival of SS Neptune, dispatched some weeks ago as reinforcements, which broke the back of the Bolitic force destroying the ship carrying Baron Pendleman (Baron Reigan having already being killed). The surviving 2 Bolitic ships retreated.

SS Carboniferous' damage is not serious and the Task Force has already left Smolask.
