Not a few hours after my induction to the Liberty Navy, My self and Commander Kingston found an Outcast Dreadnought and 3 fighters guarding her. after Commander Kingston talked them down from hostile actions he and i escorted them out of liberty space where they where last seen headed to Rhineland.. on our way back we found Outcast and Rogue forming an alliance and attacking Liberty Navy Fighters. Myself and Kingston charged into the fray..I was able to take down a Rogue Gunboat. He was apart of the outcast forces attacking.. i however didn't last much longer. the Outcast seem to recognize skill when they see it and they focused my ship and it was heavily damaged. i was able to eject and i was caught by a roaming trader.. if not for the trader i would not be telling this story..
I will need a New ship and equipment upon returning to west point, i hope i earned it.

Today is a GLORIOUS day for the Liberty Navy, we just won what it seemed to be an unwinnable fight, but we persevered regrouped our forces and was able to repel 1 Outcast Battleship and over 12 Enemy Outcast Lanehacker Fighters/bombers. it is undoubtedly a huge achievement for the record books..but this did not come at an easy price im afraid, we did lose fighters in combat and i have ordered Ambulance crews and medical transport ships to recover our fallen and save any that are still alive.. we will remember this day and learn from it. none of this could be possible with out our citizens aswell, i seen Freelancers and even bounty hunters joining the fray (while some payment was needed) it was worth every credit spent and i expect no reimbursement needed.
Attached are my 3 Confirmed kills, while im sure i had a 4th im afraid my transponder was damaged, Follow my Comm link to view the details.Here

Due to repeated injuries and little free time, my reports as of late have been...delayed. Several events escape my complete remembrance, so this report focuses on my recent runs for the Logistics Core. I set out in the Lakewood for several shipments of Plasmonic Metamaterials, and while the trip there was seamless and uniturrupted, the return trips have been...problematic. The first encounter was pilots of Gallic Royal Naval craft, bearing IFF tags unrelated to the GRN. They engaged the Lakewood, and while I left one severely damaged, had to abandon the ship due to critical engine failure and decompression. After a secondary trip to recover materials lost, and a short time in the local infirmary for plasma burns, I was stopped by members of the 'Molly Republic'. These are not too smart, in my view, and can barely be understood. After convincing them that they had a Corsair battlegroup to face, I was stopped by two more 'GRN' pilots bearing unknown IFFs. They did not enter range to stop me, however, I was already in the lanes and their weapons were not active. These new 'Unknown GRN' are troubling news. If thier operations continue, Logistics shipments from Bretonia will require many more than one escort.

[Subject] After-Action Report for July 14th, 823 A.S.
[Transmission Begins]
Good day, this is Commander Kingston reporting in once more.
The day began rather suddenly, with a report coming in from Cadet Krum of a Rogue Scylla just northwest of Fort Bush. I took command of the Plymouth Rock, proceeding to the location as quickly as possible. We arrived in time to see Krum in his Upholder taking on the Scylla, callsign 'DeathCollector'. We cruised in, and quickly helped to dispatch the destroyer, with help at the end from Commander Reeves aboard the Mt. Hood. As the destroyer's core went haywire, another Rogue Scylla, callsign 'Nasty.way.to.go', came in and began opening up, in what we can only believe was a futile attempt to avenge his fallen comrade. With the help of Commander Reeves and Cadet Krum, the second Scylla fell to our guns.
After the Fort Bush attack, we returned to Norfolk, where we quickly righted the damage to the Plymouth's exterior. Some of the kids downstairs were probably still turning their heads, but no one died or was severely injured. We then received a distress signal from a Spa and Cruise liner that was coming up from Texas. We launched to see what was happening, and went down the lane, discovering the liner coming up to Norfolk, and a third Scylla, callsign 'Vheod' halfway to the gate. Once we showed up, they booked it, and thus began a long chase, that eventually ended up back where we started, with the Mt. Hood, Cadet Krum, an LSF Agent named Connor Fleming and the Plymouth Rock tearing the ship to shreds. The poor destroyer couldn't handle the stress, and like the others, fell to our guns all the same.
After that, we returned the Plymouth Rock to Norfolk, where the ship is having the rest of her damage worked on, and the crew is recovering from the hits we took in the first encounter.
A big hand goes out to Cadet Krum. Without his valiant effort in taking down the hull plating of the Scyllas, we would've been in for quite a hefty fight. Commander Reeves gets a nice shout out as well, taking full efficiency of the Mt. Hood's advantages. We couldn't have done it without them.

More runs within the Logistics core yielded a rather interesting event today. Various pirates of the 101st Outcast Division were spotted today, but most were driven away by gunboat patrols that happened to be within the area, so trouble from them was minimal at best. The more important occurrence was a Coalition Agent appearing on my sensors near Planet Manhattan. He was rather damaged when he appeared, most likely being caught within fights with Junkers or another small gathering. He seemed pitiful enough before he attempted to engage me, then seconds after being put out of his disillusioned state by the weapons systems of the Lakewood and a Antimatter-Tachyon bolt from a paroling Defiant gunboat. The situation was already cleaned up before Lt. Dagnino arrived from Pennsylvania to assist.

[SUBJECT]: Incursion into Nomad Space (Operation: Hidden Giant)
[DATE]: July 17th, 823 A.S.
[PRIORITY]: Alpha - High
[ENCRYPTION]: Iota - Medium Hello.. High Command, this is Commander Kingston reporting in once more...
Today was absolute hell, but I'll be the first to admit that this was a key blow against the alien threat.
The Navy's Operational Force gathered in front of Manhattan not even half a day ago. The force consisted of myself, Lt. Cmdr. Hirlerman flying for Papa Squadron, Lieutenant Dagnino, and Admiral Reaser aboard the L.N.S. Nevada. We also had a few pilots from the secondary that showed up to assist, as well as a few unregistered warships, that followed us through.
The anomaly opened up not far from the defense grid, and the force proceeded through. We appeared in a dark nebulonic cloud, and upon viewing my navigational map, reported us to be within the system of Omicron Major. Not long after we arrived, we received word over long range comms that there were vessels from the three other houses, as well as those from the Order.
We proceeded through the cloud, Dagnino and I being ordered to investigate the structures the Nevada was passing by, until we can across a huge alien installation, which looked like an alien super-weapon of some sort. We proceeded ahead, and eventually rendezvoused with forces from the other houses. The Nomads didn't take too kindly to our presence in their home, a brief spit of irony as they flew out of a nearby 'hive' and proceeded to engage us, as well as the house forces.
I didn't see any larger vessels, and I'm assuming there weren't any, as the capital fleet survived for quite the array of time. Admiral George Hall, commanding the Bretonian forces aboard the H.M.S. Dauntless, reacted quickly, at first attempting to rally the fighters, and when that failed, turned to the capital fleet with much higher success. The Nevade, Dauntless, as well as two Rheinwehr "Bismarck"-class battleships and two Kusari "Tokugawa"-class battleships, began to open up on the external structures dotting the rim of the 'hive' and the large crystal-like structures not far from the 'super-weapon'.
While the capital-class vessels engaged the structure in full, the fighter wings from the houses, as well as the Order, were engaged in an all-out brawl. Exemplary performance by many of the fighter squadrons took out some of the Nomad and infected vessels, but the more that went down, there were more that came in. The fight was long and brutal, and the passing ion storms didn't make it any easier. After the second Ion Storm hit, I had received word that Lt. Cmdr. Hirlerman had been shot down, his pod recovered by the Order Battleship Oathkeeper.
Once all of the capital targets were taken out, the fightercraft took the head of the fight, commencing in a large swirling dogfight around the capital vessels. Our primary objective completed, an exit had to be found. The jump holes the houses used to jump in had already collapsed, and time was running out. Admiral Hall had ordered one of his men, a Lt. Cmdr. Paul McKinley, to search for an exit to the system. He found one, very far above us, outside the nebula that layered the Dyson Sphere. The Dauntless made steam towards the exit, where on the way out, my ship's reactor was struck, and I was forced to eject. Thankfully, the Dauntless pulled me in, them still moving under impulse.
The Dauntless remained behind long enough to defend the jump hole that was effectively our exit plan, until she couldn't stay any longer for fear of losing her in the system forever. They proceeded through, and ended up in the system of Omicron Lost, on the very faint edge of the Edge Nebula. They took the route from Lost through to the system of Omicron Delta, where the Dauntless put in for emergency repairs at Yaren. It was around this point that the memories become fuzzy, and I think I passed out from either exhaustion, shock, or perhaps both.
I awoke on board Cambridge Research Station, where I, and the rest of the pilots recovered by the Dauntless, were treated and examined for signs of Nomad infestation. Clearly, I was spared the horrifying curse of infestation, and I returned to New York, where I'm recuperating from this operation. This fight took it's toll on the entire fleet, as well as myself. Whatever organic samples and technology were gathered from this, I've made sure that the boys on Willard have their hands full with it.
Regarding the other houses, and from what intel I have recorded, it appears that the Bretonian fleet, including the Dauntless, made it back from the fight, with only a self-imposed casualty in the form of Lt. Cmdr. McKinley. The Rheinwehr force that showed up made it back to Rheinland relatively unscathed, and the Kusari force that arrived hasn't reported back. I can only assume either they're lost, or MIA. The Order force was the first to be hit, them losing an Osiris-class battleship, the Talos within the first few minutes of the engagement, and several fighter wings in the minutes leading up to the Dauntless' escape.
It was a hell of a way to say 'Happy Birthday', but I suppose there's no better way to spend it than by leading my fellow comrades into battle. I am eager to see what this operation may hold for the future.
On guard, and on point.
Signed,
Commander Alexander Samuel Kingston, Liberty Navy Primary.

Salutations,
The operation was a success, more or less. The L.N.S Harmony was successfully moored in Juneau Shipyard and is under excessive ESRD security and will be inspected accordingly. However, the First Fleet, Fifth Fleet and handful of secondary fleet ships were backstabbed and betrayed by the traitorous Liberty Security Force and other assorted Navy ships. A full list of all fugitives and traitors will be forwarded soon as soon as we finish analyzing and finalizing the situation.
As of this moment forward, all Liberty Navy First Fleet are to be cautious towards any and all primary LSF (=LSF=) vessels, and not to deal with them in any manner until further notice.
Further details will be announced soon.
Signing out,
Admiral Natalie A. Reaser.

----------
This is Commander Avery Reeves reporting in,
Today was... I honestly... I wouldn't know what to call today, it's hard, never expected our own forces to turn on us like this and I never thought the day would come when the vessels I'm required to shoot at are our own...
Regardless of my own disappointments given the situation, I recorded two incidents today.
Firstly, a carrier named "The Unsung War" was detected in New York, we managed to hail it and escort it back to Virginia, avoiding Alaska due to the current tensions and instead taking it in via the route through Minnesota. That operation went perfectly and the Unsung War's data is highly secured back on Radford, while the ship itself is stationed in Virginia near Washington shipyard, prepared to assist the ship I'm in command of - the Salem.
Some time after this a naval Battlecruiser broke through our blockade near the Alaska jump-gate and refused to comply with all orders we issued, there was no choice but to eventually open fire and terminate it, much to my own disappointment. Their Captain clearly did not care for the lives of his crew.
