Of:  1st Stalk Commander K'zirt, 1st Talon Wz'Zel fleet

About: Action at Lan'K'Ster'Pah 12122.1.2.1.33.131 

On our way to Stalk the Hu'mans in [SECTOR EDITED], we were scheduled to
resupply at the Lan'K'Ster Refueling Station.  We were unable to
establish
communications with the station so we approached in Stalk.  We
determined
that the sector was not secure.  A large Hu'man fleet had intruded
there.
We immediately moved to Confront. 

Hu'man forces included 2 new types of ships that have not been
encountered
before.  One, a ship in the Heavy or Super Dreadnought class and a close
escort cruiser capable of intense but short ranged defensive fire.  We
have
seen these defensive systems in action but not in such a focused role.

The battle was violent but brief with the Hu'man flagship being
destroyed as
well as several other Hu'man ships.  The Hu'man fleet seemed to be short
of
longer range weapons.  I was able to keep my ships closely organized and
in
our optimum range.  This was what won the drahl for us.  Given our
losses,
my fleet is temporarily unable to proceed with the primary mission.  I
am
securing the sector until reinforcements and replacement security ships
arrive.

The Hu'man goal in this sector was to strip the refueling station of our
technology.  They were successful to a degree but they paid the price
for
their arrogance.  But this was not simply a military victory for us.  We
have salvaged several Hu'man artifacts from the post-battle debris.  As
all
the Hu'man ships were destroyed by fire, there is little to claim. 
Amongst
the salvage are several Salvo Missiles that lost tracking, 2 Killercraft
pilot suits, 2 Killercraft life pods.  There were no surviving Hu'mans
left
in sector.  The most important	prize of this engagement was a nearly
intact
fire control system for their point defense cannon.
