Famous Ace Destroys Siren Raider, Scoring Victory for Skypark

At roughly 4:00AM GMT, the Air Service rebounded from it's earlier defeat, not only successfully fencing off a raid by the Sirens, but destroying some of the raiders.

At 3:38AM, Sirens warp into our territorial waters off the Shark Coast, once again being a Tester and several Explorers. This time, Both the Sea Service and the Air Service took action, with several Bearcat IIs joining the thirteen Discus' of the Air Service. Once again, King fighters warp into the area, but are intercepted by the Bearcat IIs, which are better able to hold off the Kings.

The Discus' engage the Explorers, initially having difficulty hitting the agile mechs. However, famous Monarchii War ace Niklas Popper, a specialist in fighting unnaturally fast vehicles, manages to destroy an Explorer, following it up with two more downed. The Bearcat IIs aren't as lucky, the Kings still superior.

Four Discus' begin attacking the Tester, causing some damage to the ship. The Tester breaks off the attack, opening a portal, with the remaining Explorers, and Kings entering portals as well. While the Tester wasn't close to being destroyed, and only a small number of Explorers, this time the Skypark military didn't take disastrous losses, and finally manages to take down Sirens.
