Evening Ladies and Gentlemen.
The Logistics Corps has come into possession of a few craft we're currently lacking crew for. Consequently, the slots will be made open to any willing primary fleet officer on a part-time basis, provided they follow the standards in this broadcast. Understand that you won't be the only one operating these ships, so make sure they get where they're going, and back, in one piece.
Requirements
1. System Manager This program is nessecary to access Logistics ships. Ensure you have it in installed if you intend to make use of them. [//FLAM also works, if you prefer. Installation instructions for the Discovery Launchpad are all on the linked page.]
Regulations: Logistics Personnel
1. Standing Accounts Each volunteer ship has been supplied with a ten million [10.000.000SC] float for purchase of materials and escorts. Use it if you have to during your assignment, but be prepared to make it up again. That ten million credits is to be left on the ship when you sign out at the end of your run.
2. Restricted Space Logistics Ships have clearance to operate in The Republic of Liberty and The Kingdom of Bretonia. Ships may be deployed to Leeds in order to support local forces at the discretion of the Fleet Commander. Logistics Ships do not have clearance to operate in Kusari and Rheinland at this point in time.
3. Access Access to Logistics Ships is at the discretion of the Fleet Logistics Officers [CAPT Andy Henderson] and [CAPT Jason Hirlerman] or, in their absence, the Quartermaster [CAPT William Jensen]. Distribution of access codes is to be conducted only through the above named individuals or members of the Admiralty. Primary Fleet members may maintain access to ships for the duration of their service. On retirement, codes are to be returned to Logistics Command.
4. Maintenance All ships are to be returned to the hangar fully equipped, with nanobots, shield batteries, weapons, and the on-board coffee machine fully loaded. You're officers, clean up after yourselves.
5. Off-Duty Use Logistics Ships are not to be utilized off-duty under any circumstance. That includes 'picking up chicks,' Corporal Glenslow. Use of Corps craft by non-military personnel is strictly forbidden.

Hello to whoever receives this. I am Ensign Kohaku Ueda with the Liberty Navy Primary Fleet. I am hereby putting in a request for access codes for a Liberty Logistic craft. Any details I need to provide can be sent over private communications.
COMM ID:Junior Lieutenant Rohj Teerin TARGET ID:Liberty Navy Logistics Corps SUBJECT:Access to LLS vessels ENCRYPTION:Medium PRIORITY:Medium
Hey, Teerin here.
Heard a hand was needed for supply runs, so here I am. Commander Clark (retired) had previously lent me command of the White Mage, but for actual transporting, I'm asking for permission to use the Lakewood as well.
Teerin, signing off.

Pete Levine speaking,
Hereby I would like to announce that I'm now operational as the skipper of the LLS Odyssey (Transponder: [LN]-LLS-Odyssey). Due to my activities in the Independent Miners Guild and the experience I've gained there the transition to this vessel went smoothly.
The first hauls have gone smoothly as well and a total load of 12.150 Pks Basic Alloys were delivered to Cape Canaveral, Virginia.
COMM ID:Captain Alan Polstari TARGET ID:Ensign Pete Levine SUBJECT:Welcome ENCRYPTION:Low PRIORITY:Medium
Ensign Levine,
Welcome to the Liberty Logistic Service. It seems you've been assigned a vessel already, so I find no need to direct you elsewhere on the matter. I.M.G. experience, eh? While we're not in the ore shipping business, at least not recently, I'm sure that your experience in hauling high value material through dangerous space will work to our benefit. I look forward to working with you and your vessel. Once again, welcome to the L.L.S.
COMM ID:Captain Alan Polstari TARGET ID:Liberty Logistic Service Volunteers SUBJECT:"Shared" Transports ENCRYPTION:Low PRIORITY:High
Greetings volunteers,
Due to certain pressing requirements access to the LLS Lakewood and the LLS Fort Wayne are restricted until further notice. Unauthorized use of these vessels will be punished with disciplinary action up to and including revoking of rights to command them. You will be notified when you may resume your duties.
COMM ID:Captain Alan Polstari TARGET ID:Liberty Logistic Service Volunteers SUBJECT:"Shared" Transports ENCRYPTION:Low PRIORITY:High
Greetings volunteers,
Access to the LLS Lakewood and the LLS Fort Wayne are hereby restored. All captains may resume their duties. Addtionally, there is a new Liberty Government facility over Manhattan, Long Island Station, that needs your help. Please address as much time to helping with it as you're able.
COMM ID:Commander Jane Hartman TARGET ID: Logistics Corps Vessels SUBJECT:Resignation ENCRYPTION:Low PRIORITY:Low
Good Evening All,
Seems there was an oversight during the handover of Logistics Command, and this page wasn't updated. That's since been rectified.
For those of you who missed the announcement, as of twelve days ago, Commander Rohj Teerin has been appointed as the Fleet Logistics Officer. The Commander has shown considerable dedication to the Logistics Corps in his time as a pilot with us, and I wish him the best of luck in his new role. I'm certain the Corps is in good hands.
I have relinquished my official post with the LLS in order to attend to duties aboard Normandie, but I will be keeping an eye out and lending a hand, should the Commander require it - though based on his record, I doubt that will be necessary.
Should you encounter Commander Teerin in space, be sure to congratulate him on both his promotion and appointment. Additionally, requests for access to Logistics Corps vessels are now CMDR Teerin's responsibility. Please direct any such requests to his office.
