Fleet started out with roughly 16 in fleet. We departed from Choonka and headed down into Providence. We had three neutral inty/interdictors following behind us. Reported intel from a scout, purposely lagging behind, noted a fleet of Omen Navy Issues trailing.
We proceeded through Catch faster than the Omen Navy gang and back into Providence space to head to the southern regions. Upon entering a back pocket to check an Ice belt for miners, a bubbler from Severance came behind us and stopped in G7AQ-7. Once we got back into G7 from the pocket, a gang of Caracals was detected in our path. Bouncing to a safe and then warping back to FSW-3C we jumped through FSW.
We then proceeded to bubble the gate and close in on the gate to await the caracal gang. Numbers were underestimated and they brought a full fleet of RLM Caracals that was double our size. Once the engagement commenced logi was targeted first and fell quickly. We were able to get a few kills, however, the DPS was overwhelming to our fleet as members died very quickly.

Call outs!
Satoshi was my advanced scout with the bubbler and during the final engagement had the entire gate bubbled once we got on through, locking all of us including the enemy fleet, even with their numbers, within the bubbles.
Report Wrap Up!
As the first appearance of the Deceit fleet doctrine, not many understood the concept and structure design of the fleet but as a whole everyone performed very well with these brand new ships. This will be the first of many fleets to come from the Deceit Fleet.
Much of my initial broadcasting with the final engagement was very slow compared to what it should have been. Target calls were slow and as such DPS was spread amongst targets instead of focusing.
