Raegris and Bolitic fleets do battle

The Raegris and Bolitic have waged a major space battle on the edge of Raegris Central District. Around 45 Bolitic ships (plus 3 Vosun ships) met the Raegris fleet in battle, who also had a DDS Quasar in attendance. This ship, C131 Pion, was one of the ships lost in the battle when it was rammed by a Redhull thought to be out of control.

The Raegris took a terrible beating with 4 of their ships destroyed and most of the others damaged to some extent but they managed to hold their line and then, when the Bolitic flagship was destroyed, turned the tide and forced the Bolitic to flee. 14 Bolitic warships were destroyed: a Snarl, 3 Helwin, 1 Redhull and 9 Meltinan. A Vosun warship was also destroyed when it was catapulted into a Raegris DC-1, destroying both ships, by a Bolitic tractor beam. This is not likely to endear the Bolitic to the Vosun (though there isn't really that much the Vosun can do about it).

The Raegris lost a DC-1 cruiser (as mentioned above), 2 DF-1 frigates and an old RC-1 reserve cruiser. The cost to the Raegris has been high but they have managed to hold off a Bolitic invasion and it is likely now the Bolitic will withdraw and concentrate on the Dinos.
