Small Squadron Deals Crushing, Easily Replaced Blow to Guristas

A small squadron comprised of members of the elite Genetisystems Tactical Airwing deployed to Ruvas Monday night to repel a large Gurista Pirates incursion from high security space. In the three hour firefight that ensued, several dozen Gurista flotilla's were utterly decimated, dealing a blow that will take the hostile pirate faction approximately 85 seconds to recoup.

"We collected quite a few bounties," noted squadron leader Cheif. "All for the greater good, of course," he quickly added.

Few doubt the true motives of the squadron, however.

"Without a doubt we were driven by ISK," explained Sturm Wellington, squadron member. "Killing pirates is great and all, but salvage and bounty is pretty tops."

"I may buy myself a new shuttle," he added.

Correspondents attached to the squadron observed the an utter lack of subtlety in the tactics employed.

"Cruise missile after cruise missile after cruise missile were just heaved at hulls left and right...or is it up and down in space?" questioned a freelancer with The Daily Poddite. "I thought the Raven pilot might change it up with, I don't know, a maneuver or Thermal Damage or...something. But he just sat there and heaved cruise missiles."

The Guristas released a video claiming responsibility for the attack. The spokesperson in the video continued on to vow that "vengeance will be ours!"

Reports of new Gurista assaults throughout Lonetrek have emerged, indicating this conflict may be long and costly for the citizens of New Eden.
