COMM-ID: Teniente General Ezio Aquila "Katana" Subject: Colonial Remnant Priority: High
Ciao,
My patrol of the borderworld systems combined with surveillance from previous service within the National Council has been completed. I've located both installations within the Coronado system, with their efforts in the Tau-44 system their we will catch them completely off gaurd. A coordinated strike against the installations will allow us to make a statement of our strength and rally the Maltese people in order once again.
En servicio de Malta,

COMM-ID: Eliza Valdez Subject: Omicron Delta report Priority: High
Buenos dias,
In the last week Omicron Delta has seen increased activity both from parties normally operating in the area as well as outsiders who came to aid the Zoners of Freeport 11. Our main objective was to cull Corsair, Order and Core presence in the system during the whole chaos which we have been only partially successful in due to a few limiting factors:
First and foremost we were under-equipped to deal with the opposition. The enemy had overwhelming numbers of capital warships and limited or almost none fighter support that our Sabre squadrons were equipped to effectively harass. This lead to having to rely on distractions from the Core battlegroup in order to be able to isolate and destroy ships separated from the main enemy warships.
Furthermore the would be neutrality Zoners tried to enforce around the Freeport caused us problems as well. Multiple times enemy ships were loitering in it to avoid confrontation and even if we caught them outside of it they attempted fleeing into it. Contrary to what we've expected the Zoners did not mind this and in fact tried to force us to disengage because of their desperation for allies against the Core. On a few occasions the Zoners confronted us and even opened fire on our vessels. We were forced to deal with them in self-defense resulting in the destruction of at least one OSI vessel at our hands and some light damage to other Zoner vessels.
Now onto the more important issue I want to report regarding Omicron Delta. On 9.1.824A.S. at 17:35:03 SMT Core radicals on board of 3 Mako class warships managed to breach the defensive perimeter of Freeport 11 and detonate a NEMP bomb. The result wasn't pretty, it's blast radius was over 10 klicks and nearly torched everything in the vicinity of Freeport 11, myself and 'Wyrm' included. I've attached visuals of it below. What it left behind was a completely unusable husk of a station with notable traces of the NEMP bomb. Luckily we had no personnel on the station at the time of the explosion so damage was limited with some sensors fried and slight burn on the hull. The divesting explosion was followed by a Nomad attack upon the Corsair fleet that was planing to defend the Freeport from the Core. We used the opportunity to further damage enemy assets, but that heated up the situation with the Zoners further. Some of theirs fire upon our ships and we again were forced to do warning shots against the Zoner side. Afterwards due to the state of the Freeport as well as the heated situation with Zoners all our forces returned to Malta.
Overall I would call the last few days a success in terms of damage caused to enemy assets given the hardware and manpower we had at our disposal. In the future I would recommend having complimentary bombers to the squadrons for more efficient anti-capital ship combat.
COMM-ID: Eliza Valdez Subject: Kusari Recon Report Priority: Medium
Buenos dias,
For the past few days I've been operating in Kusari space, using the hospitality of the Golden Chrysanthemums and their convenient hideouts within Shikoku and Hokkaido. Their civil war seems to have reached a halt with no activity from the Imperial Navy to be seen inside Kyushu. This would only mean that the Kusari Naval Force now have time to rebuild their strength and with Nagano being so close to Maltese space I believe it would be good that we keep the pressure on them and not allow them to recover.
Kyushu seems a good system to hit as more than a few trade ships have passed through there and it offers a single trade lane where all traffic meets. It's patrolled by the Kusari Naval Forces though and I had one such encounter with a pilot of theirs. Thankfully he was alone and I could dispatch him before backup had arrived.
I've also taken a visit to Lentini Outpost located in Nagano. Currently it's only defense is the fact it is hidden inside Midori Cloud and the Naval Forces so far keep light presense in the system. Though one could only guess for how long that would stay this way. Perhaps stationing some of our men and women there would be a good choice? It gives a good position to strike the northern Kusari systems which compliments well Cali's proximity to Kyushu.
Overall extra reinforcements would be welcome as currently the only legionaries operating within Kusari are me and 'Barrage'. If anyone likes shooting bigots this would be the time to volunteer.
COMM-ID: Hugo 'Canalla' Espada Subject: Omicron Gamma, Ataque Priority: High
Buenos días,
Yesterday I've got an unexpected call from Coronel Valdez. Giving me a short explanation about the situation, I ran to the hangar to fill up my fighter's fuel storage. Leaving Malta without a convoy of more compañeros, following Eliza's orders, she gave me the following transmission:
Code:
[18.01.2017 19:09:04] [BG]-Ian.Norris: Well, not that i care about the LSF, but there does happen to be a nice bounty on you Outcasts
[18.01.2017 19:09:18] L\-'Barrage': Is that so now?
[18.01.2017 19:09:25] [BG]-Ian.Norris: So, if you don't
I quickly understood what was going on. Apparently these bunch of Freelancer ships, concretely Ian Norris, harmed Miguel 'Barrage' 's bomber. Both Eliza and me thought that the least they'll have to pay a fine for the reparation of his vessel, so that was the mission about, finding Mr. Norris and showing him that in any case the Legión will cross arms and allow this to happen.
Flying to Omicron Kappa, I found Norris and two of his amigos in Gamma, close or really close to the Xi hole, being ready to jump. I stopped them kindly, and directed my voice to Ian. Tia talked instead, and her voice sounded morelike irritating, showing disrespect for my kind. I managed to control my desires and explained them quickly what was all about, and what would happen if they won't pay the sume of 5.000.000 SCr. Ian Norris, again, refused to talk, but Tia oppened her mouth once again to make me loose my time, slightly laughing about my response. She couldn't believe I was threating all alone three of their man. There's where Eliza appeared on their scanners.
The next step was rather fast: They refused to pay once again after Valdez's words, so we both engaged them. The fight was interesting though. Tia "big mouth" Stormclaw vanished first: She got really close to my ship, I dropped a mine and she fired a torpedo, hence why she instantly exploded and my vessel got propulsed on the opposite direction due to the enormous explosion.
My engines stopped for some seconds. Reactivating them I could notice that my vessel got heavily harmed in the interaction: I lost 4 or my 8 guns, leaving useable the Razor and some Debilitators; The sheilding generator lowed the emissions to 50%; Lost my bots on space; A gap was oppened on my hull so I had to close manually the floodgate separating the cockpit and the cargo pod chamber, and many other small issues breaking my turns.
Even so I decided to fight alongside Valdez. I kept the two fighters busy on aiming my ship, meanwhile dropping some mines to help on taking dammage. One of those mines hit a hull, causing the total destruction of the vessel.
Last one, Ian Norris itself. I can't imagine how would be feeling in this moment, indirectly causing the death or destruction of his friends' ships. He kept firing me while Eliza put a dot on his torpedo spam, actually managing to take him down. Eliza is an excellent Coronel, she fought bravely and without committing any kind of mistakes during the assault.
We quickly moved back to Malta due to my vessel' status. Overall the journey back was fast and relaxing. I'm already requesting another exact fighter and the proper guns for the next assaults.
COMM-ID: Miguel 'Barrage' Balderas Subject: Pecos Orbit Massacre Priority: High
Buenos dias,
Miguel here. Yesterday at roughly 20:00 SMT I undocked from the Barrier Gate to prepare for the assault on the Crayerian forces. In space I joined the quickly forming strike wing composed of both Lane Hacker fighters and Maltese bombers both from the Legión Maltesa and the National Council. We pulled a quick strike on the defenses in Yuma's orbit, destroying a Crayterian cruiser as well as a freelancer Kusari Explorer gunboat that belonged to those bastards that shot me a week or so back - [BG]. Having this success we quickly pulled out to wait for the Craterians to show their defenses that were in hiding. I returned to the Barrier to restock and equip an extra Hellfire Rocket Pod, being pleased with the results of those little nightmarish pods.
Having now double the ordinance I was ordered to head for Pecos where the Crayterian fleet was apparently assembling. I was joined by a few of my brethren again as well as the Hackers from Liberty. Our attack vector was from between Jericho and Salina and the goal was to distract the Crayterian forces enough so that our main fleet could sneak as closely as possible and destroy them from point blank. The enemy had at least 5 Carriers, 2 or more Battlecruisers and more Cruisers that I could count while under sustained fire. Our main bomber target was =CR=FV-Phobos|01 which was a well armored Carrier. Unfortunately our friends from the Lane Hackers weren't prepared for fleet combat of such high level and their ships got quickly destroyed by the shredding capital ship fire that rained upon them from the Crayterian fleet.
Luckily all this commotion allowed our fleet to skillfully sneak up from above planet Pecos and decent upon them. Before the Crayterians could react and fire an anti-cloak EMP pulse our Ranseurs were so close that the Cerberus fire was almost point blank in the Crayterian hulls. What followed was a glorious massacre, Crayterian warship after warship getting destroyed at our hands. Out of all 240 rockets I was loaded with, only 23 were left in the pods. Everything else was used to rip capital ship hulls in half like a saw. Overall from this whole engagement the Crayterian fleet was completely incapacitated, the few vessels that survived, limped away too damaged to fight again and the rest were turned into a wreck that will orbit Salina to remind them of our might.
From the whole engagement I personally helped finish off the following:
=CR=FV-Atlantis|04..... . .... .... - Crayterian Carrier 44th|"Warbringer".................... - Crayerian Pytho Bomber. Sucker tasted the antimatter IMG|Gremlin................................. - Independent Miners Battlecruiser. They're miners, why do they even have battlecruisers?! =CR=IS-FV-Rhea|104............... - Crayterian Cruiser
Sadly after the engagement I had sustained considerable damage from a missile that managed to hit me in it's blast and was forced to return to Barrier for repairs and could not witness the glorious siege of their priced research station.
COMM-ID: Eliza Valdez Subject: Omicron Delta report 2 Priority: High
Buenos dias,
Reporting my recon of Omicron Delta on 1.2.824A.S. The system has regained stability and conflicts have died down. The Freeport has been repaired after the NEMP bomb incident and 3 Zoner warships have been put in it's perimeter to guard the station. Those are "The Protectinator", "The Defender" and "The Guardian". Looking at their firepower and frame I believe they are of the "Aquilon" Carrier class. It is still unknown to me why they were outright hostile when I approached, but it could be related to this. Unfortunately I did not manage to get in contact with anyone in charge to get any more information regarding that. So at this point I can not say if this was the captains' error or the new stance of the Zoners of Delta towards the Maltese Legion and Malta as a whole.
The Core has been keeping their distance from the Freeport, mostly patrolling around Yaren Base. Their pilots mentioned something regarding the Zoner individual going by the name of "McCool". I believe he was some important figure in the Ingenious Research Group and the man who rallied the Zoners again the Core assault in both conflicts. I tried to get more information regarding what had happened to him, but was met with a dead end - they got tired of me asking question and sent a fighter wing to eliminate me. I managed to take two of them down before escaping from Yaren's perimeter.
To sum things up I believe we won't see any worthwhile action in Omicron Delta as the system has returned to it's old stability. How this would affect the Corsair fleets only time will tell. Hopefully Ruiz squadrons will be ready for any surprise activity coming from Omicron Xi.
COMM-ID: Dolfo 'Fissare' Bianchi Subject: Convoy interdiction and fighting in New York Priority: medio
Buenas noches,
I started todays flight with relieving 'Starfire' who got himself in the grip of a Gunboat near West Point in New York. At the sight of a second Sabre Libertys finest decided to turn around and let us admire the fine shape of a Defiants backside.
This leads over to the next flight of the day, an interdiction mission in Kyushu. The miners we were intercepting sent a scout group wich prompty engaged us while the transporters hid somewhere else. The escorts were quickly destroyed but one hunter who ran to a defensive installation where he quickly got reinforcements of the naval forces. After they were not willing to fight without station weaponry at their side when the numbers were in their favor we called the main group in and left afterwards, not without loosing 'Flashback's ship to a malfunction.
After this we moved back to New York where we were met by notable resistance, not too surprisingly since we showed up near Manhatten. We were able to overcome their fighter wing and then fell back for repairs, calling it a day.
COMM-ID: Tomoe 'Shiv' Gozen Subject: Tau-23 Battle Report Priority: High
Ohayō gozaimasu,
Today, honorable General Ezio called for my assistance in a skirmish near Cali base. I, in debt to the nation of Malta, quickly went for his aid and to our forces side. Upon my arrival, we found ourselves engaged with a wing of Independent Miners defense force.
After several minutes we lost Paganini's to a mine, which i then avenged with a well placed Dragoon inside the cockpit of a Tom Marsh. A Laura Huntington crashed docked in Java not long after, as two Colonial cruisers arrived to join the fray. Balderas-san managed to take charge of the situation and take out their bomber vessel, piloted by a Yoga Nidra, as the battlefield was adjusting to the new conditions.
Upon debris and thirst for vengeance, we piled on top of one of the bakagaijin cruisers, and managed to take it out. The paint job was shabby but I managed to get the markings, called Prometheus. Meanwhile, our only bomber, Balderas-san, was taking the brunt of the IMG fire, and I saw his escape pod escape before his bomber exploded. Meanwhile, the torikkī IMG hired a freelancer to aid them, not that it did any good. Callsign Chaotic Melody. 10 Mills per head, which makes me think we are very jūyō.
I gripped my shivs and got to work. I got on the hair of an Alexandra Mckenzie, who then reacted as a fish inside the Wall. Way over her head. Soon, her ship also crash landed on Java, not before another one, a John Reese that flew his ship also to its bays.
As General Ezio battled the freelancer, killing it in a quick battle, a Sapphire Raven appeared in system and babbled something about fun. Soon, the ship with that transponder, a gunboat and another vessel, seeming from the same organization, Auseixia.. Or Auxeisia.. Maybe Auxiliary. I don't really know. We torched them all, but Flashback's ship bought the farm, and then I destroyed the Sapphire Raven one.
With the victory in our hands, General Ezio ordered us back to base.
