White Whale: Difference between revisions

Prevented from attacking the world of [[Nueva Cuauhtémoc]] itself by the local defences, the depleted Whai gunboats of ''The Black Ghorāb'' turned to their bread and butter of piracy in the edges of the [[Mentta]] system. Any vessel that wandered too close to the Whai ships were terrorised and plundered for food and supplies. Whai piracy in the system was not to last as response teams from the far reaches AgumalanAguamalan space readied to combat the threats posed by the whalers.

Disguised as merchant ship, a commando team of ''Aguijón'' prepared to plant a hidden swarm of stinger drones within the pirates' vessels. Purposefully falling into the hands of ''The Black Ghorāb's'' harpoons, the AgumalanAguamalan operatives snuck aboard with their deadly payloads. However, the paranoid Whai discovered their intentions reading through an obviously forged manifest. Bitter hand-to-hand combat between the two sides ensued in the narrow confines of the starships. The drone swarm was unleashed prematurely, but it enabled the AgumalansAguamalans to force their way back to the merchant frigate and decouple the ships, although they suffered several casualties in the confusion.

Aguamalan hunting lodges returned to [[Nueva Cuauhtémoc]] empty handed. With their flagships and fleets destroyed or scattered, the hunters were unable to challenge the Whai's escort mission to [[Saarinen|Saarinen(Planet A)]]. It however remains uncertain how the ledges will decide to act in the coming months after these troubling events for the [[AguamalanAguamala Syndicate]].
