While we were scouting the system, we headed to Battleship "La Riche", which opened fire right away.
Since we had to seek and destroy 5 GRN crafts and tractor their pilots my best guess do find some "friends" would be around Planet Sanday.
We encoutered a bunch of fighters and 2 Gunboats against which we had to request assistance from our commanding officers.
Finally we managed to take them all down, collected the remaining pilots and headed back home.
But instead of taking the longer but safer route, our commanding officers wanted to fly thru Newcastle, heading for a system I'd like to avoid as much as possible...
Drake... I remember flying thru a while ago and no, it's not the nicest place to be.
We managed to gather some intel about one of their installations which was supposedly built to make "visitors" think of a way out. but it was just a jumpgate-shaped-weapons platform (see 3 last Pictures)
After heading for the real Jumpgate, dodging the missiles and shots of some weapons platforms, we finally made it to Coronado to report.
Good day everyone this is James Fallen. I am reporting in on my return from LoA. I didn't handle my fathers death well but now I know my father would want me to return with a strong heart and a will to serve the Republic. If you want to speak with me ill be at the bar.
After having received intel from a local trader, about 2 of our fighters going against GRN, I tried to contact the Crayterian in engagement, and receiving no response, I moved out for eventual assist.
When i came there, one of ours was already taken down, i was ordered to stand down as there was only one GRN fighter still involved.
After the last Nyx was destroyed, i decided to engage.
Orders said to back off, but had to engage as soon as i was targeted by the strongly damaged but still dangerous Gallic pilot.
After a few rounds were shot, the Gallic pilot made a mistake and blew himself up with a mine.
Returning to Coronad:
After having successfully pushed the GRN pilot to a fatal mistake, i flew back home for my report. had am AI signature on screen as soon as I entered Coronado.
the said AI craft was of cruiser-class and although I already got to meet this kind, i never seen one pretending to be a bartender...
I moved out to test some changes i made to the targeting systems of my Nyx when I got readings about hostile crafts in Coronado.
When I evaluated the readings, I got a Liberty navy signature, mixed with something else and D9 readings in the same spot.
Soon after that, our Fleet Com Center received calls from the Legion requesting help.
We moved out.
As we arrived, only one Outcast snub was left at Barrier gate station. They must have seen us coming on the radar...
When the Outcast got engaged, it crash-docked into Barrier Gate. Admiral Michael Richards ordered the Carriers to fire on the hangar the outcast landed, right after evacuating part of the station.
Personal Note: I don't see the point in endangering the lives of civilians, but i can see why Admiral Richards decided to do that.
After having unloaded a few rounds on the hangar, we disengaged and headed back to Sabah Shipyard.
While flying the standard Patrol route through Coronado, I picked up a distress signal coming from Sector 3A.
It appeared to be an automated distress message coming from a badly damaged Golden Chrysanthemum Figjhter craft.
Pilot was unconscious and in life threatening condition.
I received assistance from a member of the Auxesian Battle group, Alecto, and a Freelancer, Mr. Craig Thompson since my Nyx is not equipped for rescue tasks.
I requested a recover and repair ship from Barrier Gate to extract the pilot from the burning wreck.
we decided to bring both her and the ship to Barrier Gate Station, so she becomes adequate medical treatment until she is stable enough to answer questions as for how she got here and what attacked her.
I will request an investigation unit to recover any usable date from the ships main unit.
For further interrogations, we need to wait for confirmation of the medical unit at Barrier Gate.
While patrolling Coronado, we got a distress call from Liberty Navy regarding GRN, mostly capital ship activity in Magellan. I docked my nyx to Sabah Shipyard and got the Waran bomber, Raptor III. "Hellfire", "Shocker" and "Blitz" as well as "Rattlesnake" joined me. We randezvoused with Navy forces near Freeport 4 and came victorius from the battle. Hellfire and Shocker shot down as i could see in the heat of battle. Later a Freelancer named Chad Fox entered the area, i couldnt keep up with his fighter so i retreated to safety while fighters kept him busy. Uploading Guncams.
This target was confirmed as Nomad Morph.
after scanning and having a little smalltalk to see if it understands our language, I decided to engage and take it out.
This one was a strange one: A freelancer, non hostile pilot, with a Gallic Lynx fighter.
After having a hard time waking him up because he was asleep, I decided not to shoot him.
I merely fined him for 5mil and escorted him out of Coronado.
I issued a warning that he will be shot when he shows up in that fighter again.
for the records: Pilot name: Tristan.Fresnel
Said that he flies for Auxesians. Will need to remind them that Gallic tech is illegal in Coronado and could be seen as a hostile intention.
I was contacted by Ageira ship Mach who had to deliver docking ring parts to Sabah Shipyard.
I accepted the request and escorted the ship from Curacao to Sabah, then from Sabah to Pueblo Station, Colorado and back to Sabah before escorting him back to Curacao.
No encounters, no meaningfull events.

Pilot: [[Reading no life stucture]]
Ship demage: 97%
another fight against mutants and aliens just off BG, me, Hellfire and Shocker plus 4 Aux craft and a The Shovel (Freelancer Storta)
we waited and put up with the mutants' hilarious attempts at conversation while Aux gathered more forces. Played it safe and in a long-ish fight that dragged us from BG's vicinity to the alien gate, we managed to down one mutant Bastet, 2 defenders, a scrapper and an alien morph. One mutant cutlass escaped.
