----INCOMING TRANSMISSION----
----COMM ID: Alan Young----
----PRIORITY: LOW----

Firstly i'd like to thank the high command for seeing that i am fit for the rank of ensign, and i also congratulate everyone else who recieved promotions i'm sure we won't let you down.

Here's a report from yesterday i forgot to write up. After equiping my newly aquired guardian very heavy fighter i met a rogue, Less.Subtle.Than.Most attacking some police officer whose name escapes me. The cop ran after a few minutes, ok, seconds and i told the rogue to leave. The Rogue was in no mood for an argument as i saw and went away with no troubles. I then joined Lieutenant Commander Andy Doggett and i think commander Hank Kapinos, i ain't got that good a memory, trying to get an outcast to leave. I was told to arrest the outcast vessel and after some minutes of unusually bad combat by me Mr Doggett was told to jump in, soon after the rogue ran away and our forces emerging victorius.

Young out.

>Re: Criminal Registry.

Thanks, Commodore.

I see you've rounded up the rough edges and filled in a few blanks for me. I understand that these things can take time to get approved and will await High Command's response to the matter. Perhaps it would also be a good idea to consult the leaders of the LSF and LPI? They'll have much to contribute to this list.

Oh, I'm glad you liked the thoroughness of my report - It was a doozy of a patrol.

>Patrol Report.

This little patrol started with some Xenos near the Colorado gate. A hunter had already engaged one of them, but I insisted Redline help him take it down whilst I shooed away the other two nearby.

After a little chit-chat with the other Xenos, they moved along without any resistance. To be sure they'd left, Redline and myself moved to patrol Colorado. There, we found them next to the lane. Again, we asked they move along. After we'd done a scan of the sector, we came back to find them still at the tradelane. This was the final straw - Their ships were now overdue for an appointment at the Liberty Scrap Yard.

The not-so Invisible Kid was the first one to fall.

The other one ran deep into the asteroid field. Perhaps he's had some sense knocked into him.

>Potential blockade runner.

Whilst in Colorado, we came across an ALG transport, hauling Superconductors. Curious as to where they might be going, I got the pilot to incriminate himself on our audio tapes:


We ordered him to turn around and head out to Kusari with the goods.

>Incursion in Zone-21.

Immediately after dealing with the Xenos, an incursion by Order forces in the Zone was reported by LSF operatives in the area.

Redline and myself darted through New York once we heard the news and the fact one of the Order vessels was a cruiser. Luckily, the Secondary fleet had this covered and our presence wasn't needed there.

A quick patrol of California and Cortez turned up nothing, so me and Virgil landed on Planet Los Angeles. I doubt Redline will remember the patrol tomorrow...

Patrol Report 001: California, Texas systems

((Need to use gun cam more often.))
There wasn't anything to report in California. Not even a single ship in there.

In Texas, though, we found two people trying to get past the embargo. One didn't know it and changed course to Cambridge, while the other we turned around... Only for him to come back again. As a warning, we lowered his hull integrity until it was just about to blow up. LSF agents Walker and Infinity can confirm this and the contents below.

::Encrypted Report enclosed::

We also took a little trip to Hamburg and Bremen. I have to say, those Reighlanders can't lay a minefield worth anything. Encountered two battleships guarding the jump hole to New Hampshire, but they didn't chase us. We also encountered a Unioner patrol which we destroyed.

This is a priority broadcast to all ships of the fleet;

The LNS-Equilibrium is a hostile ship and has declared loyalty to Rheinland.

It attempted to catch the Durango off guard as she was finishing dealing with a tresspassing foreign Battleship. The entire escort of the Durango disbanded, and this is when the Equilibirum struck. Luckily the shields held, and the Durango suffered no battle damage.

Reinforcements were called in as neccessary to disable the Equilibrium, but its engines reactivated before it could be towed by lifters to Norfolk.

The ship is battlecruiser class, mounting a standard, non-experimental loadout. Of note, it has two light mortars equipped.

This is an undisputable order to all pilots of the fleet.

Watch out, gentlemen.

>Patrol Reports.

Good morning, Admiralty.

Yesterday, after a short battle simulation in Connecticut, I was called to a Xeno presence near Manhatten. LSF Director Julia Wolfe was there, along with some other LSF agents trying to rid New York of this scourge. These punks were game enough to bring a mining ship into the battle. Needless to say, he was soon chased off with heavy damage sustained.

Our agents started wearing away at one of their bombers, however as fast as they were tearing through its hull, their ships were getting torn up by the Xeno fighters. One by one our officers fell until it was severely outnumbered. I limped back to Manhatten along with another officer and made an emergency landing on the planet.

>California Crooks.

Once a bomber became available, I restarted my patrol - This time in California with Captain Jack Bauer. Almost immediately, we came across one "Haley Alelis". Flying a Falcatta, she didn't want to move and I was forced to take action.

Commander Casero came to assist me, as the target seemed quite plagued with static buildup.

Seemed the Commander wanted to play with the Outcast for a little bit and during that waiting period, I was contacted by someone from the "Council". He was saying...well, the logs speak for themselves:


Although weary, I took his word of his intent and escorted him to Pittsburg, after scanning his cargo first of course. It all checked out...

By the time we'd arrived at Pittsburg, pirates had come out of the woodwork all over the sector and I said a quick goodbye to the captain to deal with them.

If a member of the Admiralty could confirm the deal made with one "LCT|Lorient" or the Council to move goods within Liberty.

>More California Crooks.

Captain Bauer sent out an SOS in California, reporting multiple hostile ships lurking near the tradelane to Mojave. Commander Casero and myself pushed the afterburners to full and got their within minutes.

They'd all started attacking one officer and we decided to even the odds...
One gunboat after the other went down, followed by the largest target of all - The Barghest.

After that little scuffle, I powered down my weapons and allowed other officers to take care of the remaining goons. They performed well.

Signed off on a high note and went for some rest.

>Crowd Control & Smuggler.

Let me start my report by saying that civilians can get a little strange with false ideas of grandeur when they enter a spaceship. Even one as small as a Starflier. I was head of operation "Crowd Control" - In fact I believe I was the head, body and legs of this operation, as no other officer was on duty it seemed.

One civilian seemed extremely interested in my rear engines and there was a Hacker flying around, but nothing too dangerous. After a few civilians decided to scrap their ships in the atmosphere, I was about to head off when a smuggler came about.

He managed to land on Manhatten before I could lock his ship out of the docking system. I tried to alert the LPI HQ at Manhatten central, but they were all distracted by the upcoming civilian event. I was just writing up an arrest warrant for him, when suddenly he undocked from Manhatten! I immediately locked him out of the docking system and we had a little chat...

As you can see from the logs, he thought the price of his ship and crew were worth less than $8 million. He tried to make a run for it. Emphasis on the word "tried" - We shot him down.



The "Hellespont" owes the state a sum of $10 million credits for smuggling illegal goods and the clean up cost for his wrecked ship.

>Protecting the Civilians.

As their little event started, pirates popped out of every nook and cranny in Liberty, hoping to ruin their fun day. Soon enough, I was overwhelmed trying to protect all of Liberty at once. I prioritised targets within New York and got to work. The first target was a Xeno - Stalicto. He shot off towards the California gate, but we didn't let him escape. He had the gaul to fire on my gunboat, so LSF Agent Filmore shot him down.

Next target was an Outcast terrorising the civilians as they came through the Texas gate. In the "Mafia", his callsign was "Nexx", he was piloting a bomber.

He went through to Texas and held a civilian hostage, "Maj. Sovak". I knew the Outcast wasn't gonna let the civilian live if I let him go, so I opened fire. His attention turned from the civilian to me. We chased him back to New York, where we lost visuals of him.

The night dragged on as we scared off Xenos and Rogues from Manhatten. An Order agent even swung by to see what all the fuss was about, however, he didn't really have the civilian's best interest at heart and was subsequently...destroyed.


A few questionable Freelancers were hanging near Newark and sure enough, one of 'em had some Police officers on board. Although, I believe this one was on the straight n' narrow, the "Johnny Gravis" character was a little more shady. I beamed the LPI officers to my ship and took them to Manhatten.

That was the end of that long shift. A successful one, but enduring at times.

Commendations
I'd like to commend Agent Filmore's assistance, as well as Mr Goodmen's continuing support throughout the shift. Thank you both.

That order is understood ma'am. The LNS-Equiliburm has been deemed a rouge ship in the Registries, I will be sure to make sure all naval pilots know this.

>beyond.the.jumphole

Seems this boy doesn't get the meaning of an arrest warrant.

As I was moving the Indiana from California to New York, I saw this known smuggler dart into Magellan. I radioed in my intentions to pursue and entered the jumpgate. He managed to get to the Freeport, but no further. I reported his presence to the BPA officers in Manchester and found he was also wanted by them.

Scanning his hold, I found some more software, obviously counterfeit. He slowly made his way out into the seemingly abyss of Magellan. His ship very badly damaged, I tried to nudge his trajectory with no avail. He didn't even respond to some pulses being fired at his shields.

We approached a jumphole, BPA officers alerted me that it was to Leeds. I moved the Indiana directly into his path.

After a short while, the ship suddenly went through the jumphole and I pursued. Breaking a few border regulations, I engaged the smuggler and shot him down within Bretonian territory.

No doubt I'll have some diplomatic papers to file after this one...

I'm surprised the smuggler didn't defend himself. Not once. Not a damn word in response.

beyond.the.jumphole now owes the state $22 million for smuggling illegal goods, failing to comply with an order to cut engines and for fuel costs to the Indiana.

Greetings to all Primary Fleet members,

This is Jack Will, the Liberty Capital Ship Registry head. I would like to say that the Registry has been a total success so far. Jimmy Patterson and I both hope this will be able to let the primary fleets have a little more control of the LNS captains. Each LNS ship is going to be given a primary duty to do. They will be excepted to this and report back here when this is done.

All LNS captain have been told that they must follow orders from any members of the primary fleets. If you are to give an order to a LNS ship and said order is not followed please contact myself or Jimmy PAtterson and we will deal with in promptly.


Signed,
Jack Will, Liberty Capital Ships Registry
