!Battle of Flypaper **Quadrant 7, Grid 648057, Stardate 3198.112** The biggest engagement in the war in Q7 in the [Flypaper] system. Huge combined fleet defeats three Exterminator Super Battleships. It included the **Battle of Odin's Seat** in which Martain [Ground Force] units destroyed an Exterminator base under construction. The battle was also significant for the miraculous survival of Admiral Rice-Burroughs. The Martian Flagship, the Battleship ODIN was found drifting in space, all power and communications systems down, near Flypaper IV, following the battle against the Exterminators. Salvage crews from Battle Group Midgard have placed the vessel under tow. All contact was lost with the ODIN during the final stages of the battle as the fleet's sensors were blinded by multiple nuclear flashes, and the ship was thought destroyed. It was only discovered after a routine Pacifier sweep to look for remaining 'Shadow' craft in the system. On the bridge, Admiral Rice-Burroughs was discovered to have survived the battle unscathed, and has been transported to the Carrier CONQUEROR, the new flagship. He pronounced himself glad to be back, and disappointed that he had missed the battle's denouement. He asked for his compliments to be passed to Admiral Burwasher, the Allied commander-in-chief, for producing the winning battle plan and for his command of simultaneous equations, and to Esteeler Admirals Stipes and Chevron for their conduct of the battle. "Must be because all of your decent officers are Martians", he quipped.
