Greetings Ma'am's and Sir's,

Adding to the Vice Admiral's report, I proceeded to write this report the moment we got safetly back home. Due to technical problems, I wasn't able to finish the report.

Yesterday was a great victory for our Navy. The Rheinlanders were caught off guard and lost a number ships while our forces lost a few.

Part One:[font=Arial Narrow][color=#FFFF00]Rendezvous



While on patrol, I hooked up with a TF7|SK-J.Smith to find the location of supposedly Lane Hacker around New York. We patrolled several times but to no avail. We then proceeded to California were the system was clear of suspicious people. Once back in New York, another TF7|SK-C.Johnson joined us. Battleship Yukon's scanners reported two Libertonian Gunboats in Magellan. They ordered us to investigate the matter. It seems the Captains of these two vessels, LNS-Audacity and LNS-Liberation, went on a border patrol. They quickly followed orders to return to New York. J.Smith suddenly came up with an idea to raid Hamburg since we had:

3 Figthers
2 Gunboats

But before we proceeded with the raid, we needed more ships so the TF7 guys contacted their fleet and asked for reinforcements. They came in the form of:
TF7|SK-J.Burton- Guardian
TF7|LNS-Glacier.Peak- Siege Cruiser (Under the callsign Overlord)

Ensign Arthur Crawler also showed up to find out what was happening. He reluctantly joined us because of without approval from High Command and also the TF7 guys were insistant that Primary pilots should supervise the raid. Since I had numerous experience on raids, I stepped up into taking command the fleet designated as "Blue Raiders".

LNS-Liberation experienced engine malfunctioned (probably due to the border patrol) and had to dock. His replacement, LNS-Defiance(Gunboat), came just in time.

Upon forming up the fleet, we received a comm link from another Siege Cruiser, LNS-Freedom, that appeared to be already in Bering, Hamburg JG. Its Captain, Captain Moon, informed us that the Jumpgate is secure and no hostiles were reported in sight.

At this point Liberty Forces were:
5 Fighters (Me,Arthur,Burton,Smith,Johnson)
2 Gunboats (Defiance,Audacity)
2 Siege Cruisers (Glacier Peak, Freedom)

Part Two:[font=Arial Narrow][color=#FFFF00] Preparations

We proceeded towards LNS-Freedom's location. Several Unioner ships were already harassing Hamburg. We took this opportunity to sneak in undetected. A Kruger miner spotted us midway in Bering. I told the fleet to not fire upon the ship because it would report our fleet's location but that would provide a false location of our fleet since I changed the point of entry of the fleet to Hamburg JH in Bering. With RV with Freedom completed, we changed course towards Hamburg JH.

I went first and found incoming Unioner fighters (probably alerted by Pacifica Base) on a intercept course towards our position. They had to be eliminated and were done so by our fleet. With the fleet inside Hamburg,
TF7|SK-J.Smith volunteered to find the location of possible targets. He went ahead of the main fleet. At this very moment, a carrier; LNS-Impreza, contacted us on what's goin on but once he secured a comms link with our fleet. He immediately asked for orders to which he would become a cover ship for our escape, Bering JH inside Nordheide. I gave "Overlord" command of the capital ship group.

We lost comms with TF7|SK-C.Johnson after awhile, but it didn't hamper with our operations. Soon Smith made contact with hostiles near Hamburg.

Quote:TF7|SK-J.Smith: One military ship spotted
[LN]-Remus.Sius: Callsign?
TF7|SK-J.Smith: Fighter class
TF7|LNS-Glacier.Peak: Anders: I spot the fighter wing of yours, Sius.
TF7|SK-J.Smith: RFP fighter now as well
[LN]-Remus.Sius: Roger that
[LN]-Remus.Sius: Smith is sspotted aswell.
TF7|LNS-Glacier.Peak: Anders: We're on your tail, keep a low profile though.
LNS-Liberation: Carr: Entering Hudson.
[LN]-Remus.Sius: Capital ships you are to stay behind unless a capship shows up.
TF7|SK-J.Smith: Which they will
[NRF]Service.Ship-1: Achtung libertonian ship in this system
TF7|SK-J.Smith: We've been spotted
LNS-Freedom: Moons: Aw ****.
TF7|LNS-Glacier.Peak: Anders: Keeping a distance of 5K behind the fighter wing.
[LN]-Remus.Sius: Fighters go!
TF7|SK-J.Smith: Nein, nein, ve are Rheinwehr
LNS-Defiance: Holding at the Hamburg Jump Hole...requesting orders
RM-RNC-Belagerung: Franz: Guten tag. Mein herr.
Theodor.Karlsson: There are two Liberty Navy ships, have them on my scanners
Armin.Van.Buuren: tag
[LN]-Remus.Sius: Move back to the Fields
TF7|SK-J.Smith: Cruiser sighted
[LN]-Remus.Sius: Smith move back to the fields.
TF7|SK-J.Smith: Roger

At this point Liberty Forces were:
4 Fighters (Me,Arthur,Burton,Smith)
3 Gunboats (Defiance,Audacity,Liberation)
2 Siege Cruisers (Glacier Peak, Freedom)
1 Carrier (Impreza)

Part Three:[font=Arial Narrow][color=#FFFF00]Vice Admiral Takes Command and Swords are clashed

LNS-Liberation fixed its engine malfunction and managed to find another Siege Cruiser,LNS-Liberator , whilst returning to our fleet while LNS-Impreza made its way to the Bering JH in the Nordheide. Once we were safely near the edge of the field, I and Smith made another recon to know the enemies' position and numbers. During the recon, comms were established with the [LN]-LNS-Florida, Siege Cruiser with Vice Admiral Jack Malrone in command. We gave him a sitrep over the situation and he seemed very approving of it. Several more Rheinland ships started to take off from Hamburg.

Enemy Reinforcements

A republican ship, RepEx|Lena.Mueller, spotted us and tried to follow my recon wing. She posed as a threat to our fleet's location and had to be eliminated. More reinforcements showed up and the battle was drawn.

At this point Liberty Forces were:
4 Fighters (Me,Arthur,Burton,Smith)
3 Gunboats (Defiance,Audacity,Liberation)
4 Siege Cruisers (Glacier Peak, Freedom, Florida,Liberator)
1 Carrier (Impreza)

Part Four:[font=Arial Narrow][color=#FFFF00]The 1812 Overture is played

Enemy forces consisted of(in order of appearance):
RepEx|Lena.Mueller- Rheinland Fighter
RM-RNC-Belagerung- Rheinland Cruiser-Destroyed
Theodor.Karlsson- Rheinland Fighter
Armin.Van.Buuren- Rheinland Fighter
Alexander.Waldmann- Rheinland Fighter
RFP|Kom.Fritz.Reussner- Rheinland Fighter
Klaus.Henkel- Rheinland Fighter
Paul.Van.Dyk- Rheinland Fighter
RM-Adrian.Adelheid- Rheinland Fighter
RNC-Wittmund- Rheinland Battleship-Destroyed
Diana.Ritter- Unioner Fighter
RM-RNC-Gerechtigkeit- Rheinland Cruiser
[RM]Fw.Vivien.Schmitt- Rheinland Fighter
[NRF]Alpha.Wing-1(A.K.A- Jager Stienhardt)- Rheinland Fighter
Nidhogg- Rheinland Bomber
RM.Jarek- Rheinland Fighter-Destroyed



Upon engaging the Republican, Rheinland reinforcements came and engaged our fighter wing. TF7|SK-J.Smith engaged the reinforcements with Arthur.Crawler and Smith's was disabled by the vast numerical superiority of the enemy fighters. I requested gunboat support to which the Vice Admiral granted because it would present a bait for the Rheinland Capital ships.

Arrival of Friendlies

Almost at once, a BS was spotted by the Siege Cruisers. RNC-Wittmund was made a target by the Vice Admiral and the Siege Cruiser.The Battleship was guarded by a cruiser, RM-RNC-Belagerung, which took the mortar shots and high-powered forward gun of the Siege Cruisers.

RNC-Belagerung
Fake Retreat of the Battleship
Critical shot



It went down first before anyone could realize what was happening. Next, the Battleship went on a frenzy and manage to take out the Freedom. It Captain was foolish enough to charge at the enormous Battleship. The Battleship then went down under the combined accuracy and firepower of the three Siege Cruisers. Just in time, our fighter wing was replenished by the arrival of a LSF Agent, =LSF=Internity, he immediately caught the attention of several fighters that prevented the destruction of the entire fighter wing.

Fighters on my tail
Destruction of a Liberty Gunboat

Our gunboat support sustained heavy damage and both Gunboats were disabled during the fight. The Impreza made a very effective covering fire for our fighter wing. A few minutes after the BS was downed, the Vice Admiral ordered a full retreat. Once the retreat was sounded, Jarek appeared and was immediately downed by Arthur.



The Cruisers were being CDed by the enemy fighter wing and the LSF Agent helped them escaped. The Impreza stayed behind to provide covering fire for our fighter wing. The Agent helped me and Burton to escape while he and Arthur ward off the pursuing enemy fighters. I was sure they wouldn't escape with the number of pursuers on their tails but by some luck. They were able to cruise and off to the fields. The Rheinlanders broke off their pursuit in fear of a trap set by us.

With the retreat successfully completed our forces got safely back home.

Liberty Forces intact:
LNS-Impreza
[LN]-LNS-Florida
TF7|LNS-Glacier.Peak
LNS-Liberator
[LN]Remus.Sius
[LN]Arthur.Crawler
TF7|SK-J.Burton
=LSF=Internity

Liberty Forces losses:
LNS-Defiance
LNS-Liberation
LNS-Freedom
TF7|SK-J.Smith

With this battle, we deemed that our losses were acceptable compared to Rheinlanders. This victory will serve as a reminder that a small and balanced fleet coupled with good planning can win a battle against a bigger fleet.

For Freedom and Justice,
Ensign Remus Sius

Message begins:

1 minor matter to report. A few hours ago I bumped into a mercenary. He wanted to claim a bounty some loser placed on our ships it seems. I told him to frak off, as I had bigger fish to fry.

The bigger fish was a flower AI cruiser. It was fried.

The merc found me and Dimitrova however. He attacked Dimitrova as I headed for the cruiser. I came back after decideing I didn't wanna leave Dimitrova alone in case he'd bring friends. He shot down Dimitrova's ship.

Bur Joshua appeared after that and we force fed the merc several nukes and he didn't like that. So he ran.

Here are some Images I took to serve as proof to have this coyote put down permanently.







If someone can proces this nutter into the database I'd appriciate it.

A short engagement report,

I received a distress call that Planet Manhattan was under attack by A group of hackers and a Research Drone Cruiser. I headed there with my Guardian. I arrived and some of our forces were already engaged. Wasting no time I readied my weapons, and moved in to join in the fray. Ensign Kelly soon joined me and we managed to gain the upper hand. The Research Cruiser was forced to retreat, and we destroyed 2 hacker fighters in a short amount of time. Soon, all there was left was a hacker Mafic and a Broadsword. I did a lot of damage to both ships, and they entered evasive maneuvers. Kelly and myself ended up forcing the Mafic to crash into the planet, and I doubt he made a '€œemergency landing'€. The Other Bomber, Paco, ran off with his tail between his legs. A small but good victory for Liberty.

Interesting patrol.

Not a good night for the Navy I'm afraid.

The patrol started well enough. I joined Lieutenant-Commander Dimitrova's flight in tracking down our old friend Veera Allen, once again with Cardamine on board (As an aside, I'd recommend anyone else encountering her not bother explaining the consequences of the crime. She damn well knows by now. Expect her to run.). Ensigns Willmott, Falconer and Whitehall were already present and we worked to cut off her escape routes.


Fort Bush's scanners picked up a Rogue Werewolf near the trade lane, so I left the Lieutenant Commander to deal with Ms Allen. The Rogue, transponder ID: William.Baer, ran as soon as I was within range, despite orders to stop. Of course. I followed him to Detroit where the criminal finally halted. He claimed he didn't have the credits to pay the million credit fine, complete rubbish of course, but I did retrieve all his nanobots and shield batteries and ordered him to get out of New York. To my knowledge he complied.


The remainder of the patrol had dropped out of conventional scanner range, so I had to relay on their transponders, placing them somewhere in the Pittsburgh Debris field. I located the team dog fighting Veera Allen, with Rogues (Non Personalised Call signs) hindering our attempts to apprehend her. I opened fire on the Rogues before warning systems went into the red. Heavy missiles right out of the field, signature analysis put them at cruiser weaponry at least. Now under capital fire, Ma'am ordered the patrol back to Fort Bush. We lost Whitehall's signature somewhere in the field.


On our return to Government space, Captain Zaunders arrived and took command. The patrol set a course for Cortez, and a reported Hellfire Legion presence. We were accompanied by a Task Force Seven Vessel; the LNS-Audacity (Gunboat Class.). The Captain then ordered a search for the reported ships (A Dreadnought among them.). I took the trade lane to Cortez, and picked up a contact twenty clicks short of the jumpgate. Closing on the ships, I ID'd a secondary fleet Guardian fighting a Lane Hacker Light Fighter. It looked as if he had the situation under control, and the Hellfire ships had been spotted in Cortez, so I left him too it. The Hacker was later destroyed by Falconer.


By the time I arrived in Cortez, providing fighter cover for the Audacity, Battle was already joined. *Ripper winces.* I strayed too close to the Hellfire Legion Battleship 'Ven-Gyr' and was informed, by way of plasma volley, that exploding was standard procedure. I complied. We'd been promised bomber support that never arrived; and Captain Zaunders ordered the retreat. In all the action I lost track of who it was that pulled me in. Whoever it was, thanks. Remind me to buy you a drink.
*Ripper frowned. Now he was going to have the whole Navy claiming.*


On acquiring a second fighter from the Yukon, I set a course for Dudley.Willmott, the sole member of our force that hadn't pulled into base. I found the Recruit engaged with another Legionnaire, presumably a remnant from the original battle. In a few minutes Willmott had torn the hostile ship apart, a commendable piece of flying on his part (He proceeded to destroy my Avenger with equal ease in training.).


Following the encounter Willmott headed into dock, and I set a course for New York. *Chuckles.* I hadn't even made it to the jumpgate when I recieved word of an Artificial Intelligence Cruiser Research near California's sun. I summoned support in the form of the LNS-Liberation (Gunboat) and moved to assist.

Battle Report

Hostile Forces
Chemical, A.I Cruiser - Destroyed

Carl.Anabis, Fighter (Likely Liberator)
[LN]-David.Ripper, Fighter -Destroyed
LNS-Liberation, Gunboat -Destroyed
LSFC-Norfolk, Siege Cruiser-Destroyed

Result
Pyrrhic Victory

Additional Notes
In short, Sir/Ma'am, things went to hell. On reports of the Cruiser I set about gathering whatever support was available, and it was while communicating our position to the Bounty Hunter that I bought it. The Liberation was on the scene before I arrived; however, the Gunboat made for a large target and was rapidly targeted and destroyed by Chemical. Anabis and I continued to peck at the ship with fighter weaponry until the Norfolk arrived. For some reason, instead of staying and range and using it's guns, the Siege Cruiser charged right in next to the hostile. She never had a chance against that volume of fire, and at such a range, couldn't bring her main gun to bear. The ship was destroyed in seconds.

At that point I was contacted by the Bounty Hunter, who'd received word of the skirmish and offered his assistance. It was while uploading our location that I was hit by the Cruiser. Suffice to say the Avenger buckled like a tin can. I made it out fairly intact, minor lacerations.
*The Ensign holds up a bandaged left hand.*

I was later informed that the Hunter and Anabis had succeeded in felling the Cruiser in strike craft, despite it's attempts to escape into the sun. A damn good effort on their part, particularly without bomber of capital support.

Ultimately, as the officer in command, I screwed up here and it cost us two ships. It will not happen again.

End Battle Report

Captain Zaunders returned shortly after the A.I's destruction for scheduled training. I was loaned an Avenger from Fort Bush for training purposes, and our newly-assembled formation set a course for Texas, and Virginia. Taking the Norfolk-Texas lane, we encountered an Order fighter, which was engaged by the Sir and I. See why he's our instructor, I barely had to touch my weapons.


On arriving in Texas we picked up a Pilgrim 'Slave Liner' on scopes. The vessel was found to carrying Blood Diamonds, and Vice Admiral Anderson gave the orders to drop them. After a fair bit of back and forth, he finally agreed to drop them in exchange for our not replacing his ship with a dust cloud.


Finally, under the command of Fleet Admiral Hale, our Patrol arrived in Virginia for training. *Frowns.* Oddly enough; I didn't do much better.


*Ripper stands, ignoring the sea of 'Damaged Equipment' forms on his desk.*

I'm going to log some more simulator hours.

Sirs,

[color=##33CCFF]Quick report tonight as I'm visiting my parents on Denver before the winter festivities..

Rachel Barker, Joshua Ashfield and myself took down the idiot known as Smeagle. We acted on the KOS order and blasted him, however it was too late to save a BMM miner whom he slaughtered without remorse.

Later on, myself and Angelina patrolled California where we engaged the Rogue Sabre known as Mike.. Mike.. someone or other. I forget the name but he was outmatched today by Angel and I and ran back to the rogue base in the ice field. His Rogue superiors will not be pleased at us tailing him all the way there - but that's his loss.

I best be off - Angel and I are visiting my parents and I think John will be inbound shortly. My father will be back soon and we're having a good hearty dinner. Will be back reporting for duty usual time sirs.

Greetings,

Sadly, I am ending this patrol rotation in a bio-gel contraption but, overall, my patrol went, compared to others, rather well. I was able to gain the release of one of our brethren from a passing Merc., who found his pod floating in Kraut space.

Plus, I sent a known pirate running with his tail between his legs going fullburn from the center of combat. Unfortunately, his pesky cohorts were able to penetrate my Miss Belle's hull forcing my abrupt, but hopefully brief, stay here at Freeport 4.

Once released, I shall continue my missions with honor and tenacity.

May Liberty reign,

Ensign Jeff Blue

A small battle report.

Today at approximately 0100 hours, I was engaged in a skirmish in the California system near the neighboring Ice Fields. I responded to Sub Lt. Ross’s call for SoS. When I arrived Ross and Kelly were already engaged with 3 hacker fighters.

When we arrived at the scene, me and Schmitt immedietly engaged. A battle ensued for quite a while, then we started to get the upper hand. We managed to destroy one fighter, Vyrus. As soon as we took him down, the rest ran away. The Cowards were no match for the glorious Liberty Navy

Long Live the Republic!
