[RP/MM] Turn 39 LC vs. CJF Invasion - 2214 Dompaire *Complete*

[Parmenion]

After all this time, it is probably just the Horses detachment that remains.  In this case, one element.

I'll go for the best option of leaving the system (ie... either blockade running or pirate transit).  Here is a roll:

CHHS Gwaihir
Dompaire System

Jade Falcon Occupation Zone

Star Captain Xanthon Johnston had watched as the combined Clan fleet slowly dispersed, it's separate command elements departing for duty elsewhere.  As a single ship element of a minor naval clan, he had expected to be at the tail of those departing, so was not surprised when the redeployment schedule was released.  What was interesting was the arrival of the extremely large Inner Sphere force comprising warships and transport vessels of the Lyran and Davion nations. 

Unfortunately for the interested Avalon class cruiser closest to the Gwaihir, her transit vector was all wrong for an intercept.  Even the fighters now launching, and a very neat example of an immediate combat deployment it was, could not hope to touch his command. 

Sensors taking in as much intelligence information as possible, the Gwaihir sidestepped the forming blockade, then winked out of existence.


(ooc:  the arriving IS forces would note that the Cameron class Gwaihir IFF is recognisable to them as the Mandrill vessel Samantha Cline.  Although she now has a rather large Hell's Horses insignia on her bow, as opposed to the previous monkey)

With no defenders to repel them, the Inner Sphere seizes control of Dompaire.
