Fiction
The battle of Teususdi
I really should have read the military brief more closely. It wasn't pirates, it was Thargoids.
I remember my first experience coming up against the Thargoids many years ago, and it was a nerve-wracking, butt-clenching experience. The combination of an unexpected mis-jump with a confrontation with an aggressive, alien enemy that could seemingly slice through my shields at will... well to be honest, I couldn't believe it was happening. Fortunately for me, I had enough fuel to jump out of interstellar space to the relative safety of an Anarchy system...
Years in the spacelanes and subsequent encounters with the Thargoids taught me respect, then (as my ship got more iron-assed), complacency as I found myself able to dispatch two or three at a time (so long as my injectors held out!!!).
As I formed up with the squad, I probably felt a bit cocky. There were a smattering of Cobra Mk.I's, three or four naval frigates. I even spied a few fellow Boas by the look of it. What could possibly go wrong?
Looking back, I probably felt the same as those young, wide-eye'd men from some assorted feudal systems, who had been told that war was noble and exciting by their 'betters' (who conveniently stayed in the safety of their strongholds).
Then the Thargoids came. I could some of their larger ships ahead of us even before they drifted into scanner range. Spotting maybe half a dozen or so in the distance, I thought, how bad could this be?
Then the green and red lollypops appeared on my scanner....and kept increasing in number. This wasn't an invasion force, this was a bloody migration!!! Battle was joined, and before long, the forward half of my scanner was covered in red/green markers. I couldn't tell you how many of them there were, especially after they started launching their robot fighters.
I started taking hits. Targeting a thargoid cruiser, I redlined my fore and aft lasers. It sat there laughing at me and I found myself surrounded, taking hits and losing equipment.
Over the comms there were the panicked calls from my colleagues as we found ourselves completely overwhelmed. I needed to cool my lasers, and I was useless where I was. Maybe that's my justification for my next action. I'm ashamed to say I fled. There were simply too many of them...
As I retreated, I could see half a dozen or so Thargoids on my six, about 20km behind. At least, I thought, that's six or seven thargoids that won't be focusing on the rest of the squad, but by this stage, I had no idea what state the squad was in.
At this point, the enemy did something that I don't understand, but was grateful that they did. I'm sure they could have outrun me, but they just sat on my six at 20km, allowing me to gradually snipe them with my aft laser, one by one. Once the last of the pursuing cruisers fell, the drones deactivated, and at last I was alone.
I tried to get back to the witchpoint beacon in an attempt to help the squad, and hopefully redeem myself, but it must have been destroyed. There was no direction for me to take now but back to the system station.
Arriving at the station, I'm told "The battle of Teususdi was over", and my participation was acknowledged - 7 kills. I don't know what happened to the rest of the squad. I can only hope they took as many of the bastards down as they could.
Before this battle, I thought I was a pretty good pilot. This experience has humbled me. Next time, and there will be a next time, I'll be more prepared! Tales from the spacelanes... Bugbear (2011)
