REPORT TO: WAFLEMIAN CARRIER #7 MAIN COMMAND BRIDGE

DESCRIPTION OF THE DAY’S EVENTS:

The first, third, and fifth fighter squadron company went out this morning at precisely 7:15 A.M. Earth Time. They had an escort of seventeen light bombers, each fully stocked with munitions. Additionally, there were roughly fifty drones deployed along with these forces. in all, some two hundred ships were released from the MAIN HANGER.

At precisely 7:40 A.M. Earth Time, these forces engaged in combat. They attacked the enemy heavy star-fighter, “Nomad,” and managed to bring the ship down. The first ship to arrive back at the MAIN HANGER did so at around 1:00 P.M., and the last one, at around 2:10 P.M. In all, however, half of the first squadron company, a third of the third squadron company, and five ships in the fifth company, along with eleven of the light bombers and twenty seven drones, were destroyed by the enemy forces.

Of the roughly one hundred ships that returned, all but twenty fighters were in some way damaged, mostly with carbon scoring and scorch marks. Precisely three were suffering from major engine trouble, and twenty four, with minor engine trouble. As far as can be discerned, only one of the minor engine trouble accounts was the result of faulty engineering or construction of the engine. The rest all resulted from damage inflicted by the enemy.

As far as sentient casualties are accounted for, just over fifty friendly personnel were exterminated in the conflict. The numbers are as follows:

Human - 32

Unit - 16

Norak - 2

Seslov - 1

Mordok - 1

Judis - 1 (unconfirmed)
