Elessar2590's Darkstar Campaign
Aftermath
With the Prussian's gone the British are left to Salvage what they can from their Fleet. The Taskforce was Raised and has Dispatched Two Ships to Escort Battle Group Nassau back to Command for a Full Briefing.
HMS Swedish Knight Rolls a 1 and was only Temporarily Disabled. The Swedish Knight then Begins Recovering the Other Vessels
HMS Burnaby Rolls a 4 and Manages to Limp out of the Anomalies. Commander Baker Breathes a Sigh of Relief since this is his Third Ship.
HMS Burke Rolls a 2 and is Towed to Safety by the HMS Swedish Knight.
HMS Wills Rolls an 8 and is Sucked Further in to the Anomaly. With enough time to Evacuate the Essentials the remaining Crew are taken aboard the HMS Swedish Knight. The Surviving Ships Gathered on the Outskirts of the Anomaly and Watched the HMS Wills be Consumed.
As the Various Crews Formally Saluted the dying Ship the First Lieutenant of the Wills Approached Captain MacDonald.
He had Tears in his Eyes as he Spoke.
Commander Clark, Facing the Loss of his Third Ship, Disgrace and a Life of Failure Behind a Desk Elected to Remain at the Helm and was Incinerated along with the HMS Wills.

Epic story, @elessar2590 – Commander Clark’s tale is indeed an epic one. Per the campaign rules, a “replacement” commander gets to start the game with half of Clark’s accrues campaign points (probably not too many, but enough for a leg up on that first “Commander’s Luck” Upgrade.
Do you want me to add Clark to the official “Ledger of Honor?”
Sounds like a great game, some some pretty serious results!
Thanks, that wold be great if you could add him.
After some chatting with the GM we decided to give both of the new ships (more on them in the next few updates) one upgrade. This is because of the role playing of Clark’s death, just how bad I got stomped by the Prussian’s and a few other things.
