INCIDENT SUMMARY

On 07/07/2049 the Orion Battlegroup jumped into high orbit around Picon. Skath had a fighting force in place but a curious lack of a carrier. Several frigates, cruisers and a pair of heavies. Relatively few Skath Raiders came out to defend against the Raptor and Viper Airwing assault teams. The Orion battlegroup opened fire while the Raptors drove into to release nukes with Viper escort. The majority of Skath Raiders appeared to be coming from FAB Crandall on the surface - potentual future target.

In relatively short order all but one Skath ship was destroyed and the last ship jumped away. Raptors and Viper squadrons took only light damage with serious damage to only one viper. No significant injuries and no losses. Concerns were expressed about the unexpectedly light Skath presence in orbit.
