Line 25: In July 3073, a [[Dark Caste]] flotilla led by [[Russou Howell|The Jaguar]], and escorted by the ''[[Mako]]''-class corvette ''[[Fuchida]]'', arrived at Waypoint 531 and was surprised to find the Blakist JumpShips in the system. The Bandit forces immediately attacked and gutted two Blakist JumpShips; with minimal [[aerospace fighter]] coverage and having nothing to counter even a partially functional [[WarShip]], Precentor Gillick surrendered. The Jaguar traded the Blakist prisoners to the [[Tanite Worlds|Tanites]] for food and supplies, and used the captured equipment for raids against Nueva Castile, the [[Hanseatic League]], and several Clan worlds.<ref name=WOR-128/> In July 3073, a [[Dark Caste]] flotilla led by [[Russou Howell|The Jaguar]], and escorted by the ''[[Mako]]''-class corvette ''[[Fuchida]]'', arrived at Waypoint 531 and was surprised to find the Blakist JumpShips in the system.
