Reporting aboard LNS-Utah
On regular patrol today, we caught a pirate bomber loitering around the Colorado jump gate in New York. He was warned to leave the system who later on chose to return the warning with fire on one of our officers. I ordered the pursuit expand into Colorado which soon ended with the pirate's execution on the spot via intercepted tradelanes. The fragging shot came from one of our new ensigns which made me most happy. Good work Chris Miller, continue to keep Liberty proud.

As long as you are using the navy ID and tag, you are granted to operate in that zone. This will put a responsibility on your shoulders though, such that you should report back to Liberty officers when ordered and provide back up if needed.

Sir, as long as I am in charge, independent mercenaries will not be tolerated in Liberty space. Due to the new safety program, mentioned protocols will be run for a week in order to observe the effects. Final decision will be given within the headquarters. I would suggest you to move your vessel out of Liberty while you still have time.

Sir,
I do hope this does not last long. And I do hope Liberty does not flip-flop every time there is a change in leadership. This is most troubling for someone who has shown such loyalty to Liberty. It took me over a month to gain access to Liberty. I have burned many bridges and made many enemies for Liberty.
Where shall I go sir?

Something needs to be done about the countless hostile junker capships operating in our space. They take lawful pilots hostage, attack our ships, and position their capital ships in front of Manhattan, threatening those who get close. In the past day I haven't seen a single junker in a ship smaller then a IMG gunboat, and every time they are breaking our laws.
Not long ago, my ship was destroyed by such junker, who opened fire without cause, when I stopped him to ask that he release hostages.
My suggestion is that all junkers be escorted out of our space immediately, and any capships within the vicinity of our planets, be destroyed.

The only viable solution for your case is to use a valid ID and affliation in Liberty Space, if you sincerely wish to aid the Liberty authority. This is my last reply regarding your case.
To: Corporal Karl Agathon of the LPI
This is an irritating concern indeed. However, Junkers shouldn't be supposed to assume a hostile manner against the Liberty Authority at all. The case looks like you have had trouble with some individuals who either didn't know what they were doing or being controlled by an unknown identity, having bad intentions over Liberty. If the case occurs again, feel free to contact high command via secure channels with the exact convention list of these vessels which would obviously be dealt with in short time.

After I first politely asked and then ordered [Liberty][Z-21]FREEDOM out of Zone21, he has told me several unpleasant things and then proceeded to say that the SA has no authority over him and that he will not move from zone21, then he told me to "deal" with that. So I have..I have called in the =LSF=Goliath and USS-Tomahawk of the northern navy, and they have swiftly dealt with FREEDOM by destroying him. Disrespect and deliberate refusal to obey orders of an SA officer while staying in a restricted area has lead me to believe that guy is not working for the Navy as he claims. I hope this message will warn others of this self proclaimed "Guardian" of zone21.

[Subject: Official Report]
While on patrol this evening, my route took me through the California system and then back to New York. After jumping back in to New York, I received a report of a rogue ship, one [LIBERTY][Z21]FREEDOM, who was proclaiming that he had every right to be at Zone 21 and claimed that he was its defender and would not let anyone pass.
He continued by stating that he would shoot down anyone, including Liberty Navy and authorized personnel, that got near the Z21 JG. Lieutenant John Talon revoked any authorization for him to be there, but he still refused to vacate the area. Several ships responded to this incident; one Jake Benson, USS-Blackguard, USS-Tomahawk, the Goliath, and myself.
Upon approaching firing range, the Goliath opened fire on this ship, a Liberty Dreadnought. I followed closely behind the Goliath and fired a salvo of Sunslayer Torpedos into the hull of this vessel. The vessel was quickly destroyed.
Shortly after this incident, another happened. A freelancer by the name of Kyle Gibney zoomed through the battlefield, right by everyone, and made his way for the Alaska JG. He ignored all orders to halt and jumped through. Shortly after entering Alaska, he came back. He passed right by the USS-Blackguard and USS-Tomahawk, and I gave chase. I caught him at the Texas tradelane attempting to flee to Norfolk, but I managed to disrupt his entry into the tradelane and engaged him one-on-one.
He was soon destroyed after attempting to confuse me by running in circles. Naturally, the Liberty Navy only trains the very best pilots, and his attempt was in vain. The pilot died in the battle.

Well done. The rights to operate within the restricted areas are reserved only for the Navy and the LSF. Any of the individuals or unknown convention owners those who are not registered to operate under our command proclaiming that they have clearance to do so should be swiftly dealt with, without any exception.

To who might be in charge,
After working odd jobs here and there i gathered enough credits to purchase a used Starflier.
Beat up but capable of space flight i took it out for a ride only to have it destroyed
by Nathan "Cultist" Hunt in what i can only describe as a elite Navy fighting machine.
The terror of having my poor Starflier hunted and destroyed in a devastating explotion
while i watched from my escape pod. Having to pay a Junker to bring me back to Manhattan
was just as horrible of a experience, who keeps live animals in their cargo hold anyway?
Liberty Navy only trains the very best pilots says the recruitment posters. Well now i belive it,
my poor Starflier didn't stand a chance. I will be reporting this accident if i may call it so to
my insurance agency. I'm sure they will be contacting you soon.
Fearfull of the Navy, Kyle Gibney.

Very well sir. I have been in Bretonia for the past week anyway. It is disheartening to learn that loyalties between us were one-sided.
As it appears to me right now, you appear to be on the edge of a civil uprising. I've received word that there are some among Liberty who are attempting to take charge of your responsibilities ... specifically with regard to Zone 21. Your house is in turmoil.
I shall stay clear of Liberty space. You have no worries there. Liberty is entirely too crowded as it is. I do hope you are able to control this problem you face. As I can count, there are at least eight factions vying for control of Liberty ... LNS, LSF, SA, LPI, M, JG, Lane Security and USS. And to compound the problem you are receiving distress from various Junkers, the LR and LH. Even a few Corsair capships ... one of which destroyed my ship while I helped defend California from his attack. My new vessel is undergoing testing at the moment.
Do take care of yourself sir.

I've started my ship again when I've woken up in the Liberty Navy base, stationed in California. Before I left I did a ship check as always to make sure everything would run fine. When I launched my ship I've recieved over a private comm. channel that there is a conflict at planet Manhattan. After this message I flew towards the location the transmission came from and spotted multiple targets. A group of lane hackers were on a strike at Manhattan. A SA Officer and I have engaged this group, unfortunately during system failures I automaticly got ejected into space, as my ship blew up just after. A Liberty Navy patrol has returned me to the Navy Base in California. I'm still inside the base doing some paper work, and I'm waiting for my new ship to be delivered at the sation.
I will continiue my work when my new ship has arrived and is ready for deployment.
