Times have been hard recently. The Servants of Baal are swelling their ranks, and becoming ever bolder in their attacks against the Syndicate and the Empire.
During a regular excursion to the "Intergalactic House of Pancakes" system (As christened by Emperor Varhik Zelkir), the 4th Rendii Expeditionary Group was attacked by a raid group of multiple Baalite fighter squadrons, a few Striker-type heavy fighters, and one torpedo frigate. Caught unawares, the Group was heavily mauled, leaving a handful of survivors stranded without power on the hulk of the G-32 Ion frigate "Rionwip". The survivors were able to send an open distress signal, which was received by Mr. Robert Peel, as well as Leviathan forces. Peel headed straight for the source of the transmission in the new missile destroyer, Brazen. Leviathan, however, did hesitate; the capital ship, Archangel, was in dock for maintenance procedures at Charlie station. An on the spot decision was made to quickly convert the heavy miner "Archimedes" to a de facto warship. The garbage disposal cans were filled with explosives, and the salvage array overclocked to ignore ship protection safety procedures. Following these preparations, Archimedes and the Brazen chain jumped towards the system. Following arrival, the two vessels proceeded to engage SoB forces, consisting of multiple Snubfighters, 3-4 Strikers, and a single spearheading Torpedo frigate. All enemy signals were swiftly annihilated by both vessels, and the Archimedes dispatched a boarding party to the Rionwip to search for survivors. The commander of the ship, whose name has been withheld, was found alone in the core room. A number of other survivors were found fortifying the gun maintenance area, where they had managed to stave off SoB boarders. The final group of 3 survivors was found in the mess hall. A total of 12 survivors, 6 of them wounded, were found by the party and escorted onto the Archimedes, which delivered them to the Rendii Station Gallium. No ships of the 4th Expeditionary fleet were found to be in reparable condition and the Rionwip was scuttled by the Brazen on request of the unnamed commander.
